Author Inoue Takehiko `ignited` emotions and touched the hearts of the audience through extremely powerful dialogues about friendship, love and the courage of people who dare to live and pursue their passions.
Let’s take a look at the most memorable and impressive quotes from the movie.
Coach Anzai Mitsuyoshi: “Give up?
Unlike the manga and anime, The First Slam Dunk is told from the perspective of the diminutive defender Miyagi Ryota, instead of the brash red-haired guy Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Considered a `lower door` team paving the way for champion Sannoh, Hanamichi’s Shohoku team, which was already under a lot of pressure to win, had to constantly chase the score.
Coach Anzai Mitsuyoshi responded: “Give up?
Kogure Kiminobu: `Even our reserve team must be resilient`
Kogure Kiminobu is the vice captain of the Shohoku High School basketball team.
In The First Slam Dunk, most of the time Kiminobu sits on the bench, otherwise, he plays in place of Hanamichi.
Akagi Takenori: “Our whole team is not very close to each other….
Akagi Takenori is the team captain, plays the center position, wears jersey number 4.
Akagi Takenori is a typical `family child`, an exemplary student with impressive academic achievements.
Until he met like-minded people like Sakuragi Hanamichi, Mitsui Hisashi, Miyagi Ryota…;
– Our whole team is not very close to each other.
– I’m just annoyed with you guys…
– Thank you guys.
Miyagi Ryota: “I have no intention of ending the match easily.
Not to be outdone, the small defender Miyagi Ryota – the main character of this movie also possesses many extremely high-quality lines.
Ryota’s words are like a message from the author to the audience, fans of the series – the movie Slam Dunk so.
Miyagi Ryota: `In a world without Sota, basketball is what helps me hold on to this life`
The movie The First Slam Dunk takes viewers back to the past, touching Miyagi Ryota’s childhood.
A very good scene that makes viewers feel pain and shed tears is the letter Miyagi Ryota sent to his mother:
“Mom must really hate basketball, right?
“In a world without Sota, basketball is what helps me hold on to this life.
With just a few short lines of dialogue, fans can feel their mother’s love for the two brothers, Ryota’s love for his mother, his brother, and his family, and at the same time see Ryota’s endless passion.
Sakuragi Hanamichi: “When was the old man’s most glorious day?
In the series, TV anime and movie The First Slam Dunk, Hanamichi is always an emotional explosive factor.
In the movie, Sakuragi Hanamichi injured his back because of saving a dangerous ball for his teammates.
But Hanamichi is different.
For Sakuragi Hanamichi, it is better to seize the opportunity even at the risk, than to run away in fear and then make yourself regret for the rest of your life.
The First Slam Dunk is playing in theaters.
