1973 One summer night, a dark-skinned boy was practicing shooting hard. His father said to him, "Practice hard and you will succeed." A few years later, the boy's dream finally came true. He became a pillar of the NBA and a world-class superstar. This is the story of Michael Jordan. This true story became real and unreal in Warner's studio. In those years, Jordan was obsessed with baseball and Hollywood producers were obsessed with aliens, so it hit it off and Basket in the Air was born. This movie, which cost $65.438+0.2 billion, is the most successful movie with cartoons and real people, although it is not the biggest production in the history of movies. Only Roger rabbit was worth mentioning before. ....
Basketball Dream: Basketball Dream, shot in 1994, is the most successful basketball movie so far. As soon as it came out, it won the "Oscar" Sundance Film Festival Independent Film Award.

Steve james, the director of this film, originally wanted to finish a short film of about 30 minutes by tracking and shooting two basketball rookies from slums. But with the deepening of shooting, he found that this is a very attractive subject, and the length of 30 minutes is far from enough. So it took six years to complete this excellent documentary.
The film tells the story of the growth of two black teenagers, Bill Gates and Arthur Agee, from the slums of Chicago. They have extraordinary basketball talent, but they can only show their skills in street basketball games, and their lives were changed until they were discovered by a talent scout. Their experiences are very similar to those of Thomas, a famous guard of the former Pistons. They all struggled out of the slums step by step with talent and hard work and finally succeeded. From this perspective, this film can be said to be a successful sports documentary. At the same time, the film also discusses the deep-rooted racial problems in the United States, pointing out that the existing "elite education system" ignores the right of slum children to receive education, and shows people the hardships that young black people struggle for survival.
Like Mike.

The film is funny, with NBA superstars such as Iverson, Nowitzki, McGrady, Webber, Kidd and Nash helping out, which set a box office of 20 million dollars in the first week.
