No, we are not talking about a Shakespearean tragedy. Here is the success story of the Williams shadow sisters, which they owe to their highly motivated father Richard.
When the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena, were just starting out in big-time sports, tennis was an incognito territory for African Americans. Therefore, the pressure on the girls was enormous: when they entered the court, they represented not only themselves, but also the entire race, but sought to prove that everyone can achieve the desired goal: you just need to think through the right plan. And the plan for the sisters was created by their father, whose uncompromising and arrogant stubbornness played a key role in the upcoming triumph of both girls.
The role of the hero behind the scenes, Richard, was played by Will Smith. He managed to embody the strange side of the character: his thoughtfulness, detachment, non-belonging to this world. However, in terms of internal energy, he was rather unconvincing: too soft and polite (despite the remarks), without hidden fire. In general, you should not expect tension and sharp conflicts from the film.: This is a slow biography that restores in detail all the stages of the formation of future champions.
In general, the plot, oversaturated with Easter eggs, looks like Nolan, on vacation, directed "The Beginning" in the universe of "Scream" - however, he did not try very hard. After the finale, we can conclude that the tendency to long moralizing conversations is the main obstacle to the realization of killer ambitions. The openly comedic ending provides some solace after the stress of the previous bloody scenes, but at the same time it destroys the integrity of the impression of the story.
Many scenes seem superfluous (especially due to the timing – two and a half hours), many are just empty. Tennis as a discipline can be expected to play an important role in the plot; I wanted to learn its philosophy, see its secrets and gain insights, but this is not going to happen. Perhaps for fans who understand the nuances of the game, the film will be clearer; but those who have not yet discovered the magic of tennis are unlikely to be interested in it.
Richard himself seems to be a very conversion character, but his closeness plays against the viewer: the hero's unshakeable stubbornness makes him a stranger to us, and there is not enough warmth in communicating with him. The characters of the sisters are also not revealed: during the course of the plot, they are only pawns in their father's higher plan. Therefore, the film "King Richard" is a possible option for universal development, but you should not expect revelation and emotions from him, especially sincere admiration. It seems that a documentary about the success story of the Williams sisters could have been a much better option. integrated automation for token locking can be found at https://uncx-network.net .
