A small look at "Basketball Dream"

Due to learning requirements, a film that must be enjoyed is called "Basketball Dream". I thought it was an old-fashioned inspirational film, but I was pleasantly surprised. It is a documentary that I love. The basketball dream tells the story of two teenagers who love basketball and finally entered the university through their performance in high school for six years, and they are getting closer and closer to their desires. The film not only records the life of the school, but also integrates into their family, beliefs and living environment. Life in the black zone is cruel. Basketball and family accidents are cruel. Violence and drugs are everywhere. Of course, these are just foreshadowing. But in such an environment, it is a headache to always insist on dreams and put them into practice. , Because faced with too much pressure and difficulties, who can stick to the original intention of the naive ideal. Both young people know that basketball means to them not only in the degree of love, but also a bridge to a new life and idealism. In front of basketball, poverty, disease, violence, and drugs all seem so insignificant. , And it is precisely here that basketball has become sacred, a symbol of justice and glory.
In the process of watching the film, I have been moved several times, but I always hope to be more recent. Perhaps because of the theme, more descriptions are also about the performance of the two teenagers in the team. If there are more descriptions of life, it may give people a deeper understanding of the word "dream". Significance, or perhaps the director and the main creative staff recorded everything in the 6 years of shooting. After all, the 6 years of shooting material is unimaginable. The final 3 hours of filming is after all deletions and deletions. If you are lucky, I really hope. You can see a more comprehensive and tensioned version.

    It turns out that basketball has different meanings for foreigners, especially black boys.

    The stormy basketball dream, everyone's life is different. Under the hammer of life, everyone has to admit it. It is not a sports documentary that is neither inspirational nor sensational. The two black people with similar family backgrounds love basketball. Although there are some twists and turns in their studies, the fate of the last two people is still the same. They are both unfulfilled lives and youth full of regrets. . An alternate clip came out of nowhere, I'm depressed when I'm face-blind...
