"Love and Basketball"

Love and Basketball is one of my most favorite movies. It is a heart felt love story about two teenagers. It is one of my favorite movies because it shows the real meaning of true love. It also shows how a relationship may go through many obstacles but if the love is strong it will withstand. Love and Basketball shows how a person should never give up on the one you love. The movie starts out when the kids are 11 years old. Monica( played by Shanaa Latham) moves next door to Quincy"Q"(played by Omar Epps). In the movie, Monica is a tom boy who loves basketball as much as the boys. Quincy is the son of a pro- basketball player who inspires to do the same. The two kids relationship first began at this age. They made it official with a kiss but broke up soon after. They remained friends throughout their teen years until the spring dance. That night the two started to look at each other in more than just a friendly manner. From then on the two were a couple. Both went to USC to play basketball. The relationship was lovely for a while until they broke up due to misunderstanding. Quincy decided to drop out of college and go pro. Monica finished college and went to Europe to play. Five years pasted and they met up again at the hospital. Later in the movie they got married and had a child.
