Review of The Basketball Diaries (1995) by Alyssa C — 20 Jun 2011
What can I say, this movie was incredible. It was such an inside look into how a mere Saturday night activity could ruin your life and future. Leonardo DiCaprio was fantastic and I was blown away by how well he portrayed this character.
It was one of the best acting performances I have ever seen and I congratulate him. This movie was like others have stated difficult to watch because it makes you feel emotional and sad for this boy who is wasting his life for drugs.
This movie taught me so many lessons and when people talk to you about the effects of drugs it doesn't have as big an impact as actually seeing it. I would recommend anyone to watch this movie because it is, just fa-nominal.
