    Basketball version of boyhood. The method is surprisingly simple and primitive. In fact, it should be long overdue to make a documentary like this, because there are thousands of children who are the same as the protagonist who wrote the book American Life together. The crossover of the fates of the two protagonists (and the contrasting edits) is brilliant, highlighting the uncertainty of fate and allowing outsiders to see more. The disadvantage is that it sometimes becomes a memorabilia of...

    The film has made me insightful again, and I feel all kinds of cuteness and helplessness in southern Chicago. But if I were to talk about racism, social class, and the educational system from an American perspective, I still felt that I was not enthusiastic politically, and I felt itchy. So as for my feelings, the "American Dream" is a little easier than the "Chinese Dream". Can you imagine that the protagonist of the story is a child from the Chinese urban-rural fringe who cannot afford to go...

    Thanks to Roger Ebert's persistence, this documentary has been promoted. It is indeed an unprecedented viewing experience. I thought it was just an inspirational American dream, but I didn’t expect it to be so profound. It showed the persistence, competition and belief in society, and also gave me a new perspective on the world around...

    "The epee has no edge, and it doesn't work well."

    1.

            The state of Dugu seeking defeat at the age of forty is called "the epee has no edge, and the skill is not working." Yang Guo got it after reading it, and after raising the profound iron epee in one hand, he was invincible in the world.

    About the "Basketball Dream" that I haven't watched yet

    In the late 1980s and early 1990s, they achieved box office success. Two high school basketball players lived a four-year documentary. The public photos of William Gates provide an indicative record of his appearance when he was young and herald a story of "adulthood". The distributor of...

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.
