Review of The Basketball Diaries (1995) by Aleia E — 01 Sep 2010
I absolutly love this movie...
When I found it in a Walmart $5 bin I just thought "Wow, Leonardo DiCaprio looks hot... I'm going to buy it!" Not knowing any bakground information on the film, never heard of it before either, this movie needs much more honnors than the $5 bin, it's honestly fantastic.
This is such a heavy movie, watching all the withdrawls and the shit Jim Carroll (Leo) went through, wow. Leo protrays Jim perfectly, everything is just so dramatic and heart clenching. Concidering this movie was a low budget film, I think it was done exceptionally well. Nothing done looked 'fake' or 'unreal'.I personally think this is one of DiCaprio's best films he's done, and I'm not just talking about his films of the 1990's, I'm talkig of all time, up untill now, 2010.
This movie is a classic in my books, I don't think I could ever get tired of it, concidering I've already seen it about 6 times already in a spread of a few years.
