His life is beginning to look like a living hell. He starts robbing stores, ripping off money from old ladies just to get some cash for dope. He gets himself in all kinds of stupid situations. He experiments with drugs 'till there is no way back. Leonardo DiCaprio playes a basketballplayer, a schoolkid(Jim Carrol) who walks this path. From taking dope once a week to taking dope every day, every hour. It shows the road that one walks to being addicted to drugs. I think 'The basketball diaries' is a realistic and very important movie.

This movie is so incredible, I really wish more people would see it and think the same. And after he goes through all that pain, he throws it away and goes straight back to the drugs. The part where Lewis is going through withdrawal is so real and horrible. You get to watch them throw away their basketball careers and their lives. I have to give it props though for some brilliant scenes like when they all go into the fetal position at the end.īasketball Diaries on the other hand gets you involved and attached to the characters. The characters aren't as likable and I thought it ended a bit abruptly leaving us no knowledge of what is to become of the characters. In Requiem For A Dream, the characters start out doing some harder drugs and you barely get to see where everything goes wrong, it just seemed to be like that all of a sudden. The characters are so young and vulnerable and you get to see them slowly fall into this world of drugs and violence and be completely swept away. I never thought this movie would be so incredibly underrated! This was the only movie that made me completely swear off drugs. I can't believe that Requiem For A Dream is on the top 250 list but this isn't. Only with the help of Reggie, an older neighborhood friend with whom Jim 'picked up a game' now and then, is he able to begin the long journey back to sanity. He can't go home and his only escape from the reality of the streets is heroin for which he steals, robs and prostitutes himself. Soon, the dark streets of New York become a refuge from his mother's mounting concern for her son. A best friend who is dying of leukemia, a coach ('Swifty') who takes unacceptable liberties with the boys on his team, teenage sexual angst, and an unhealthy appetite for heroin - all of these begin to encroach on young Jim's dream of becoming a basketball star. As a member of a seemingly unbeatable high school basketball squad, Jim's life centers around the basketball court and the court becomes a metaphor for the world in his mind.
