Hoop dreams

Bell Hooks seems like she has some personal issues toward any black cinema in my opinion. Hoop Dreams was praised for being an accurate portrayal of young black youth and basketball, yet Hooks finds a way to say that the film portrayed the black youth (well, their bodies) as "commodities" for whites. I understand it's Hooks' job to pick apart films and find the underline issue with them, but I would say she over-analyzes just a tad bit.
