excellent, excellent, excellent
- another biopic for the awards season, but unlike house of gucci, this one really hit me.
- Man, the sporting environment is undoubtedly one of the hardest sectors to live with, especially being as young as Venus and Serena... people, during the film, may find Will Smith's character boring, grumpy, bossy and rude....but honestly, I felt a lot of empathy not for his actions but for the reason he did them. [spoiler] His biggest goal is to protect his daughters from what could have become the decline of their childhood... the pressure brought on by sport, the total loss of childhood putting success above all else, the loss of the humility that he and his wife feel. devoted so much to teaching! Richard just wants his daughters to have fun without the toxicity that most parents act with their children (situation mentioned throughout the film)... [/spoiler] so as a person who gave up sport because of that same pressure, I could understand the incessant Richard's quest for that big goal: [spoiler] just letting his daughters live their childhood and play tennis in a fun way.[/spoiler]
- however, [spoiler] although the film is restricted only to richard's relationship with these two daughters, at a certain point in the film the fact that Richard has other children is mentioned: this is not developed, it is not explored in any way, and that It pisses me off because why mention it if it won't show anymore?? it gave me the impression that the script wanted to hide this ''troubled'' part of richard's life, all this apart from the fact that the other three daughters that are presented to us are completely relegated to the background.... that's how it is in real life??? the movie hides a lot, period [/spoiler]
WILL SIMITH IS GREAT: His scenes with Anjuanue Ellis are sensational and yield stunning dialogue, the actresses who play the daughters are also great
- doubly recommended!!!!!!!!
