Shooting Stars is a filmic representation of the life of LeBron James based on the memoir of the same name he co-wrote. It tells the story of James, starting with a brief part of his childhood to the time in high school when, along with his other friends, he rose up the ladder of fame. Starting with a 4:3 aspect ratio and quickly introducing us to the “Fab 4”, as they called themselves, we are pulled into the lives of the four kids with a deep passion for playing basketball. Trained and raised by their coach, Dru Joyce II, who keeps telling them that it’s not important how the game is started but how it is finished, the kids live and breathe basketball. In this context of brotherhood and love for each other, the four grow up to become even better at the games, with James showing an extraordinary skillset that shocks everyone.
