I left the computer last night around 10:30pm, and I headed to my room to watch one of my Netflix movies. I chose
The Basketball Diaries.
Wow. The movie was so raw, and the actors portrayed the characters so true. I was blown away. There were many memorable lines, and I found myself wishing I owned the movie, despite the violence and drugs. It was a story that really presented itself as REAL.
As it should, I suppose, since the film is a script adapted from Jim Carroll's autobiographical writings in high school - The Basketball Diaries.
