理查德国王,威尔·史密斯(Will Smith)饰演理查德·威廉姆斯(Richard Williams),他是一个坚定决心培养冠军的男子,他在出生之前就绘制了女儿的胜利之路。He takes his young daughters, Venus (Saniyya Sidney) and Serena (Demi Singleton), to practice every day at a run-down tennis court near their home in Compton, California, while also haunting the tennis clubs on Los Angeles’s tony west side trying to get a coach for his girls. Eventually, he brings them to the attention of Paul Cohen (Tony Goldwyn), who coaches Pete Sampras and John McEnroe, and from there, Venus, with Serena in her shadow, is propelled into the world of junior championship tennis. The tennis action in理查德国王由雷纳尔多·马库斯·格林(Reinaldo Marcus Green)执导的,并不是很出色,但这部电影本身对网球不感兴趣。比理查德(Richard)试图继续教练金星,即使保罗(Paul)和后来的里克·麦基(Rick Macci)(乔恩·伯恩塔尔(Jon Bernthal))试图指导她,保罗和理查德之间的削减要好得多。

尽管维纳斯·威廉姆斯和塞雷娜·威廉姆斯是其lved as executive producers, the film is not blind to Richard’s faults. I mean, it does not AT ALL want to question the child sport complex, only to assert that Richard Williams navigated it better than others, but on a personal level, the Williamses let the film show some of their dad’s warts, such as acknowledging his illegitimate children. Because we can’t interrogate the ways in which Richard is a stereotypical Sport Dad, the instances in which his failings are contrasted with his drive to open doors for his daughters are the most interesting理查德国王成为肖像。这部电影在展示威廉姆斯(Williamses)如何从康普顿(Compton)到佛罗里达州享有声望的网球营到第一个网球家庭时处于最佳状态。作为肯定的启发感,它非常有效。

威尔·史密斯(Will Smith)的表现较差。当然,他降落在真正的理查德·威廉姆斯附近声音和动作,但除了模仿,他的表现受到影响,并且在顶部。他从“大”开始,从不拒绝拨号,这有时会违背电影的亲密焦点。(也就是说,学院热爱大型表演,因此作为奥斯卡诱饵,这是一份+工作。)更好的是Aunjanue Ellis,就像威廉姆斯姐妹的母亲Oracene“ Brandy” Williams一样。从来没有感觉到埃利斯(Ellis)对一个真实的人的印象,即使在最刻板的时刻,她也体现了一种自然表演,超越了扎克·贝林(Zach Baylin)剧本的更笨拙的元素。此外,年轻的演员西德尼(Sidney)和辛格尔顿(Singleton)分别像维纳斯(Venus)和塞雷纳(Serena)一样出色。They feel like normal kids, not Acting Kids, which goes a long way with the family environment shown in the film, in which Richard tries to maintain some grounded normalcy for his prodigy daughters (even as they train constantly, but that’s the part of the story the film won’t touch with a ten-foot pole).

作为一个电影院,理查德国王是一场中间的事件,击中了所有预期的体育电影时刻和“伟大的”传记片陈词滥调(带有“伟大的人”的转折不是屏幕上描绘的一位或两个明星运动员,而是他们的父亲),而是他们的父亲)as a love letter from the Williams sisters to their father, it is a very sweet crowd-pleaser wrapped up in one of sports’ greatest rags-to-riches tales—no doubt a deliberate frame, as we are shown the Williamses watching灰姑娘学习生活课,理查德特别希望他的女儿拥有这种超越的叙述。随着电影整洁地旁边质疑儿童运动综合体的每一个机会,摄像机在镜头后面的存在,而是选择专注于理查德·威廉姆斯(Richard Williams)至少不如其他网球父母那样糟糕理查德国王一部不太有趣的电影,比以前的细微差别不那么细微 - 但确实使理查德国王一部令人心动的家庭电影,即使没有别的。

理查德国王现在在剧院中,并在HBO Max上流媒体。
