    5.0 (No. 87 on Spike Lee's list) is about to cry, probably the best shot of all the documentaries about black Americans I've seen so far. The destinies of the two youths were intertwined very shallowly and briefly because of basketball, and they embarked on different paths and different lives. The record shows how two representative black families affected their personal destiny under the influence of American social structure, cultural concept, religion and education...

    Not just a documentary about sports, but a fairly clear picture of the plight of the black community in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and playing basketball was one of the best ways for them to get out of that "dilemma." From another perspective, this is also one of the best hip-hop...

    The American system is destined to allow some people to realize their dreams, but it is difficult for us. Parents' love for their children is also very different. Chinese parents rarely express their love for their children, but the United States can deeply feel the love and unity of a...

    "Basketball Dream" tells the story of two ordinary poor black teenagers pursuing their basketball dream. In 6 years, they have 2 people and 2 families. The dream finally turned into a heartbreaking reality story - the American dream with mixed flavors. Ironically and rarely, this documentary has a more eloquent story than most fictional films. The risk of this movie is that you don't know what the future of these two teenagers will develop, but it's not...

    On Arthur's eighteenth birthday, the mother was so excited and grateful for her son's growth. The American dream behind basketball reeks of beef with corn. Yet year after year, the moths are still fighting the...

    Persevere in faith

    At the center of the narrative of this documentary is the dream of two boys who love basketball to enter the NBA.

        Everyone has such a dream in their teenage years, hoping that they can do the same job with their idols and become as powerful as their idols. Perhaps in this world, every minute...

Hoop Dreams quotes

  • Self - William's Brother: All these basketball dreams I had have gone. All I see, all my dreams is in him now. I want him to make it so bad, I don't know what to do.

  • Self - William's Mother: If he wants to play basketball and stuff, that was always okay. But, I was gonna make *sure* that all of 'em got through High School. A High School diploma was *very* important to me.
