The dilapidated community in the film is next door to Chicago University. The students guarded against armed robbers from there, and probably had little chance to learn about the hopeless life of that community. Everything that is taken for granted to children from middle-class families in the United States is a luxury for most of the children there. For example, parents with stable income and affection do not have to be kicked out of school for tuition fees, and a better educational...

Although there is still a long way to go before the NBA, it is already a very happy thing to have the opportunity to fulfill your talents and to pursue your dreams. Not to mention the "FireWire"-level Chicago black community scan, which is...

More importantly, there is no way to predict this kind of life trajectory when creating it. Just like the basketball game inside, it is difficult to predict whether it will win or lose, so the film is full of layers of excitement, surprises, and disappointment as it goes to the back. What is outlined in the movie is still the ordinary life of...

I have a sense of identity with the survival crisis reflected in the film. The film is not so much recording reality as it is realism, which represents the film's processing of reality to a certain...

1. Only a handful of people can reach the apex of the pyramid. These two people are still far from there, but this process has changed some of their life trajectories. 2. The two families place all their hopes on them. The pressure is too great and the risks are too high. With a knee injury, the whole family seemed to be deprived of...

When I think I should get out of myself for a while, it's too correct to watch this one. On the 25th anniversary of the screening, the post-screening producer (also NYU's eh) also talked quite emotionally and learned a lot about the shooting background and gossip (such as how Spike Lee helped the protagonist's family by buying the copyright). Indeed, the background of the American era in the late 1980s and early 1990s is silently behind the two wonderful protagonists. Together with the joys and...

Good film. Without the dream of basketball, the chances of the two children not getting into trouble in the film and even the life expectancy are estimated to be even smaller. Basketball is linked to high school and college admissions. Whether or not to go to college is linked to whether you can get out of poverty and improve the living conditions of yourself and your family. Dreams have become particularly heavy. William was the one whose future seemed brighter at first, but by the time he...

(No ratings for documentary) There is no heaven in the world, and it is fortunate for some people to be born ten feet above hell. Another reason I don’t like to watch documentaries is that I am too unfamiliar with the way it creates dreams (yes, documentaries are also dreams—or flickering). I don’t like the feeling of being...
