Key Images from Hoop Dreams

I had a couple of scenes that stood out to me during watching Hoop Dreams. In particular there was a scene where Arthur was in a park playing basketball and his estranged father had come by to say hello. In the mist of everything, the father went off towards the bathroom and bought drugs. I felt so sorry for Arthur to be put into that kind of situation, by his father no less. After that Arthur felt differently about his father, there was no respect, because his father did not deserve any. His father messed up Arthur's schooling, future and his mindset. Things, he will never regain, it was unfair and Arthur is the only one who suffers. Another scene that really hit home was when the kid with the knee problems had surgery and had his fluid drained. The needles and contraptions are crazy and my knee felt pain throughout that ordeal. I have knee issues myself and watching that I felt the pain he was going through and the dissapointment of having it in the first place. The last key image for me from the documentary is when the varsity basketball player has a baby and actually cares for it as a teenager. Teen fathers do not normally take such good care of babies, especially when they are in admist of chasing their dreams. The movie is good and I want to see more of it.
