Diary of the Edge: Belief in the Future, Fearless Sunshine

Sometimes I feel that youth without stories is not enough to miss, but watching Jim's youth with stories is different and full of confusion. Jim said that the boys on the street didn't think they would become addicts who couldn't quit; they just wanted to try. But seeing his degeneration step by step clearly, and seeing him lost in thought and unable to change the status quo, was only distressing. If Jim is a heinous and thoroughly evil person, he will not make people feel pity and then reflect on what went wrong.

Seeing Jim surrender step by step due to reality, he wanted to go home, but his mother couldn't save him. After the quarrel, Jim ran away from home. He's smoking drugs in that shitty place where so many addicts gather. At this time, if he was detoxifying at home with the help of his mother, then he would be able to pull himself back from the precipice and stop degenerating. But Reggie, whose mother is still kind-hearted, can't help him start over until his not-too-late awakening in prison gives him a chance to start over. Get out of that bottomless abyss. Sometimes my homesickness may be more important than I thought. Whether it is wandering in a foreign land or lonely and helpless, as long as we have a family and a family, we can always let our minds find a harbor to stop and rest. No one wants to be a person who has fallen to the bottom. Our ideals when we were young were scientists and lawyers. We want to be successful and we want our parents to be proud of us. When he got kicked out and didn't know what to do, when he sneaked back to see his mother, when he was on the street, when he had nowhere to go home, Jim wouldn't have been there if we had given him warm care. Will get lost sooner. The dignity of the law is to make us fear, that the law will punish us but at the same time give us opportunities. Laws still protect rights after atonement.

We should give ourselves confidence and believe in the future.

If the heart is sunny, there is no fear of the sun.

    It turns out that I have seen the movie where I took drugs to death. This is it! ! ! Wipe...I have been looking for a long time but I don’t remember the name...|||Review it another day~~ The reason, then I really hate this ugly (hey!) young actor. This is the only movie he played in his boyhood that he likes except for his deep love.

    Jim was lucky, the most tragic were Pedro and Mickey, they couldn't look back!

The Basketball Diaries quotes

  • Jim: [Walks up to Swifty] Don't worry, Swifty, I won't rat you out.

    [Walks up to Father McNulty]

    Jim: And in the next life, Father, I'm gonna have the paddle!

    [Walks out]

  • Jim: Know this. There's different types of users of junk. You got your rich dilettante square-ass who dabbles now and then and always has enough money to run off to the Riviera if he feels he's fucking around to the danger point. Street junkies hate these pricks, but they're always suckers, and their money makes them tolerable. Then you got your upper-middle-class Westchester preppies... same as the others, basically. What they're good for is opening their mommy and daddy's eyes to this social virus and putting pressure on the government to do something about it. Then there's us street kids. Start fucking around very young, 13 or so. We think we all got it under control and won't get strung out. This rarely works. I'm living proof. But in the end, you just got to see the junk as another 9-to-5 gig. The hours are just a bit more inclined to shadows.
