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.

    Real and inspiring not because they were basketball stars but because it shows us how hard it real is to achieve your dreams.

    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 life events, and it lacks a keen capture of the protagonist's mentality.

Hoop Dreams quotes

  • Self - Arthur's Mother: [toast] To my son, I hope you pursue all your dreams and your desires that you have within you. Love you, very much.

  • ACT Tutor: If you're just out right guessing, if a monkey took this test, and you trained him just to do "b's" and "c's" - he probably would get more right than if he picked "a's" and "d's".
