Movie: The Basketball Diaries
The Basketball Diaries is the movie where Leonardo
DiCaprio gets his rear end beat with a huge paddle by a determined Catholic priest
in front of his classmates.
And that’s probably as much as you want to know before
you head for the clip at the bottom of this post.
Anyhow, the film was released by New Line Cinema
in 1995 and DiCaprio was 20 years old at the time but he made a passable senior
high school student. The film
was based on the autobiography of Jim Carroll, a
promising high school basketball player who develops a heroin addiction.
The film is regularly re-run on cable and satellite TV
and is available on streaming services and DVD
At the end of the clip the school bell rings for end
of class and DiCaprio says “Too bad Father I was just starting to enjoy myself.”
I suspect a few viewers thought the same.
The Basketball Diaries is
available on DVD.
