"Jim Carlo completed his'Basketball Diary' at the age of 17; he published 3 famous poems and recorded 4 albums at the age of 22; now, Jim Carlo lives in New York City and continues to write; he is now A beloved poet, musician, novelist and actor."

When a line of character prototype introductions appear at the end of a biographical movie, they always smile unconsciously: the depraved boy in the movie crying and begging for money from his mother at home, robbing old grandmothers and hunting candy stores, selling gay men for drugs, fighting I have never done anything about fighting, stealing, robbing and cheating, but what is more worth thinking about is his poet’s dream of basketball: lying naked on the roof, feeling the touch of the breeze, enjoying the pleasure of being away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and describing everything around him with graceful sentences in his diary. Every thing personally, insist on visiting the good brother who has leukemia, even if the other players have never visited, splashing sweat on the court and emitting light, seeing the good brother who has not fallen on the TV, the light in the eyes...

There are too many degenerate teenagers on the streets of the United States. This group of people will always appear in different movies. Jim is exactly what he has in mind. Unlike others, he can only use drugs to help him out of the dark. All teenagers have days of rebellion and craziness. The question is whether they can keep the place in their heart that can ferment their dreams, so that they can still see the eyes of hope when they wake up completely.

    At that time, how could Elio be so good, and the face on the inside of his forehead was smooth and tsk tsk tsk, and his acting skills were also in place. It reminded me of the phoenix in Stand by Me.

    The only way for American teenagers to grow up? Playing basketball, picking girls, taking drugs, committing crimes, going to jail. . .
