Basketball?
When I found out the next contest was about a movie that entailed basketball,I had mixed feelings. Basketball is an incredible sport,I played some,I still play,not all the time though cause my height wasn't helping and stuff but let's get to the real stuff I'm trying to say.
I'm 5'4 by the way;)
A basketball movie that added value to my life? Well at first,I planned on writing about "High School Musical", but then I found my sisters' watching this movie in particular and I said to myself "I've found the right one;)"
CHAD CAN DUNK" is a Disney movie written and directed by Jingyi Shao. It was released on 10th March 2023.
The movie talks about a high school boy, Chang(played by Bloom Li), who places a bet. This whole bet entails him dunking to win a jersey. I also think to prove himself to a girl.
Now what's dunk? Dunking? To dunk means to dip something in.
But what's dunking a basketball into a net?
This shot is performed when a player jumps into the air and slams or drives the ball into the net. There are different ways to get your ball into the net in basketball but dunking should be the less easy one.
Correction; it's the hardest way to get your ball into the net . This is entirely my opinion though.
Chang was a 5'8 teenage boy trying to dunk a basketball into a net. A basketball net is about 10 feets off the ground. Take a look at the odds. 5'8 and 10 feets!
" Hold on,are you kidding me right now mate?",I said to him through my TV;)
To dunk,you need everything. Every jump,every stretch of that arm matters. It's not an easy thing to do. Only a small percentage of basketball players can dunk.
There are a lot of things you benefit from playing basketball. It encourages agility, speed and strength. All that running and bouncing of the ball, it aids your physical appearance.
It develops motor skills that promotes good health and also improves flexibility. Y'all imagine I'm trying to score, trying to get my ball into the net. From about three metres from the net,I jump,stretch my arms long and shoot the ball. That promotes flexibility! I'm not sure but all that stretching should definitely promote increase of height.
Chang can Dunk is a nice movie, I'd give it that. I don't know if it's only me but if I'm able to predict what happens in a film, that's a minus for the movie. I was able to predict some parts and some literally made me scream at my TV. This movie definitely taught me about determination and faith.
"If you want to get anywhere you have to evolve", I heard this, can't remember who said it exactly in the movie.
Have you ever had this feeling of wanting to do something so bad? To succeed in something so bad you can't take any chances? You try your hardest; keep up with sleepless nights and banging headache throughout the day just because you want to achieve something, a goal. Finally after all your hard work,you get disappointed. You fail.
A lot of people would definitely give up and dump that dream somewhere. Are you a lot of people?
Every obstacle is an opportunity.
For a Disney movie I wasn't able to completely predict, I'd give this movie a 4 out of 5 stars. You should definitely try it;)
THE END.
