Hoop Dreams (1994)

A true story about following your dreams and navigating through a life of poverty trying to rise out of it. Of the two co-stars, I was more interested in Arthur Agee's story. What St. Joe's put him through was wrong. And making his parents, who were struggling to make ends meet, pay to release his transcripts was bullshit. That cashier guy that the Agee's were negotiating to pay off their debt was an asshole. Like when Arthur Sr. went in to hug him you could tell he just wanted them to leave and didn't care, putting on a fake smile. St. Joe's coach could have helped Arthur Agee, I have no doubts, but yeah, I think he didn't believe in him, gave up, and let him get kicked out during a school year. I'm glad Arthur Agee got some type of revenge, making it farther than St. Joe's did during his time in High School. That coach had the look of regret on his face when he was watching Arthur in the Final Four playoffs. On the other hand, it was sad to see William Gates suffer through injuries and having a coach who was too busy trying to win than taking care of his boys. Gates should've sat out until he was fully recovered. Fuck that greedy coach.

9/10
