For sometime I actually thought of deleting this side of my blog. There are so many blogs and websites dedicated to movie review. So how does it matter. But after watching this movie, I thought its not just another movie review blog that I am writing, its for others in general and for myself in particular what I think of movies. So here it goes, from time to time I will keep updating this blog with movies which I have watched both old and new.
The Basketball Diaries
Leonardo DiCaprio has done an excellent job, almost like Titanic. In Titanic its the ship and its grandness that takes the centrestage. In Basketball Diaries its Dicaprio and his true story. Based on how street children get sucked in to the drug world. But this is not just another story where finally he dies, its a movie where he overcomes substance abuse and becomes famous. The thin slim look of DiCaprio suits best to the character Jim who was a basketball studd. He looks like a teenager. On the concluding part of the movie, he looks more mature. Some of the
dialogues are really interesting.
Scenes :- He is gazing at the stars and jerkin off.... When he is desperate for some stuff and feels totaly helpless..... When he agrees for a BJ for a few bucks, when he goes to his mom for some money.....When his friend bobby dies and it rains...
