爱情和篮球

如果没有分离，就不会知道自己会日夜思念着青梅竹马的他（她），如果没有一直坚持着的梦想，就不会知道自己终有一天真的会打进NBA。女主角的勇气是我羡慕的，即使他订婚了又怎样，你有信心爱还是在的，那就去争取！但是她没有为了篮球放弃爱情，大概因为爱情想要放弃篮球，但是真的爱你的人会陪着你去追逐你的梦想的，不是么！

竟然没有人看过这部电影没人写过评论连个打分的都没有看来我看的片子还真是冷门啊总的来说挺不错的有那么点意思而且比较新奇的是这是一部纯黑人电影所有有点身份的主角配角全是黑人不过它不是非洲电影...仍然是个爱情片和篮球没什么关系不过男女有共同爱好其实挺好的如果差距不太大的话可以单挑啊什么的不过我的话难道要单挑垒球么怎么个挑法呢其实片子里很多地方还是值得思考的比如怎么处理爱好与朋友的关系如果你总觉得对方应该放下手头的事而来照顾你的感受因为你心情不好那就大错特错了毕竟有些事不是那么的如你所想如果很多事你都take it for granted那就麻烦大了还有就是在对方订完婚只剩下两个星期就结婚的时候去和对方说自己真正的感受不知道会变成怎样更不知道对方如果真的接受的话到底是怎么处理的觉得挺尴尬的最后想提出一个忠告因为我觉得它几乎永远是对的永远不要因为寂寞而接受一个人那样对谁都不好而且对对方也不公平后果一般也会很惨可惜当你真正悲伤的时候很有可能会做这样的傻事不是吗最后海报很有意思像个世界杯不过不是douban采用的这幅

Love and Basketball is a romantic basketball movie released in 2000. The story starts when Monica and her family have just moved in a new neighborhood where Quincy and his family live. After a basketball game, they become good friends. The same interest brings them closer and closer. On their way to success, they overcome many obstacles and finally get together. According to the storyline, it is obvious that the love story is actually the main theme of this movie.                 In this movie, the director tells a love story. From this perspective, this movie is similar to He Got Game, because they both use basketball as a means to demonstrate something else. The big difference between them is that in He Got Game, the director uses basketball to show race issues. The director of Love and Basketball uses plot to portray their relationship. This movie is very straightforward to this theme by showing a basketball game between two main characters who later become a couple. Then the director shows how they fall in love, how they get into troubles, how they break up, and at last how they come together again. On their way to maturity, they learn how to deal with relationships from their parents as well as from each other. It’s a growth opportunity for both of them to learn how to love. Just as in the name Love and Basketball, love comes first in this movie. The way that this movie treats basketball is like the way Denzel in He Got Game tells his son to “use basketball as a tool.”                 Some people may argue this movie is about race. But I do not consider it this way. It is true that in this movie African Americans play main characters, but using African American actors in a movie does not make race become the theme of the movie. In He Got Game, the race issue is extremely obvious. In many scenes, the race issue is raised in dialogue. Characters in He Got Game are actually talking about race. On the contrary, there is not a single line in Love and Basketball about race. On the other hand, reason for showing how African Americans are treated unequally in He Got Game is to show the dark side of their lives. But both of the main characters in Love and Basketball are upper class people. They live in big houses and have respectable jobs and a stable income. Moreover, almost all the characters in this movie are played by African Americans, and the only exception is Monica’s coach from her university. As for the coach, she never says anything against Monica’s race. She treats everyone equally. This is absolutely different from what is in He Got Game, in which many whites say things against African Americans. In this sense, it is not a movie about race at all.                 In some ways, this movie seems like a biopic, for example by dividing its plot according to time period. I think this is because the director wants to make this movie more realistic. This doesn’t seem to help to characterize any theme of this movie. On the contrary, it confuses audiences. It breaks the story into pieces with nothing to connect them. Especially when the characters’ costumes change, it took me a while to recognize them and make connections between them.
