I need this Dutch sentence translated to English, please: Ik besloot de film met een open blik te benaderen, in aanmerking genomen dat 'The Basketball dagboeken' een van mijn lievelingsboeken was toen ik een tiener was. Om te beginnen, goede punten. Geweldige prestatie van Di Caprio. De scène met de vier jongens die in de regen basketbal speelden, met Jom Carrolls 'people who died' op de soundtrack, was voor mij de enige scène die de geest en de houding van het boek goed weergaf. Vandaar de twee goede punten.Slechte punten.

I made the point of approaching the film with an open mind considering "The Basketball diaries" was one of my favourite novels when I was a teenager. First of all, good points. Great performance from Di Caprio. The scene with the four boys playing basketball in the rain, set to Jom Carroll's "people Who Died" on the soundtrack, was for me the one scene that truly nailed the spirit and attitude of the book.Hence the two good points.Bad points. The film reduced its wonderful source material to just another preachy, moralistic, stating the obvious 'kids, say no to drugs' diatribe.It also didn't have the guts to push it main character's decent into the hell of drug addiction further.
