      Photographer, you are amazing

      Stone's acting skills are becoming more and more professional. The plot of the movie is normal. Indeed, it is quite difficult to talk about a series of topics such as feminism, homosexuality, and family in one movie, and the time allocation must be stretched. Better than photography and music. Especially the movement of the lens, unfortunately, the retro shooting method can easily bring me back to that era. A lot of close-up details allow the characters to know what they are thinking without...

      I just ask, do you dare to be politically incorrect?

      "Battle of the Gender" has a score of 6.5. It is a standard American theme movie. It is both feminist and lesbian. It is politically correct. In Hollywood, where the Weinsteins have fallen one after another, this "Battle of the Gender" is even better "Just right". It's not just Americans who are sick of political correctness, I'm sick of it across the Pacific. When I met Kim in the first scene with a stylist, the use of the filming method and soundtrack was obviously a sexual enlightenment...

      equality! (film review, Battle of the Sexes)

      I don’t know if it’s because of the extreme dissatisfaction with US President Trump’s rude remarks. Since the second half of 2017, more and more American films have an obvious “feminist” atmosphere (in a low-key way, it is advocated for “equality between men and women” and “painful”. Men are superior to women”), such as: the Olympic film "The Post", the biographical homosexual work "Professor Marston & the Wonder Women", the live-action biographical film...

      Saying it's feminism is like a child's play

      After reading "Suffragettes", "Ms. Sloan", "The Tailor", "All the Time", "Women of the Twentieth Century" and "Thelma", I found some books and read some articles, and the idea of ​​feminism began to really enter me. But after watching this movie, there is an embarrassment that female heroism is overplayed.

      The core of the movie does not involve the core of the unequal treatment of women. Men have...

      [Film Review] Battle of the Sexes (2017) 7.2/10

      A retro-flair imbued period drama depicting the ballyhoo of the 1973 titular tennis throw-down between a 29-year-old Billie Jean King (Stone) and a 55-year-old Bobby Riggs (Carell), a game, impinges on the former as a match she doesn't have the luxury to lose because her gender equality campaign for female tennis players, to a broader extent, women's liberation movement, is hanging by a thread,...

      "No offense. You're still a feminist, right? → No, I'm a tennis player who happens to be a woman." "I'm the ladies number one. I'm the champ. Why would I lose? → Because dinosaurs can't play tennis." "I'm not saying women are better. I've never said that. I'm saying we deserve some respect. Do you have a daughter? Or a sister? You sure as heck have a mother. Is your father better than your mother? Just because he's a man? Do you believe that?" "Someday we will be free to be who we are and love...

      One extra point for the episode "Rocket Man", which reminds me of the years I spent chasing Yao Ming and the Rockets. It's unbelievable that a movie based on reality is not good-looking, and Emma Stone (Sister Stone) can't add points for being ugly. Form is greater than content, feminism, homosexuality, this is really political correctness. The script collapsed almost from start to finish, and the director's performance even...

      A sports-themed affirmative-action biopic with the highlights of the sentence cut into the trailer? I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the prototype story. The theme of the composition is actually similar to Carol. Those who want to watch the battle will be disappointed. The game clips are not as good as BorgMcEnroe and Steve Carell's acting skills are...

    Movie plot

    The organizers of the Grand Slam tennis tournament refused to pay the same amount of prize money to the female players as the male players, but in fact the women’s tennis tournaments sold as many tickets as the men’s tennis tournaments. After this incident, Billy Jane King ( Emma Jean Stone ) and other athletes joined hands with the publisher of "World Tennis Magazine" Gladys Heideman ( Sarah Silverman ) to form the Women's Tennis...

    Evaluation action

    The film delights the audience physically and mentally. The image of Mrs. King is quite successful. The actor Emma Jean Stone has contributed outstanding performance. Both the surface image and inner emotions are very convincing. The actor Steven John Carell is funny and funny, interpreting this gambler who was born to be good at self-promotion and boasting in an eyebrow and eye-catching way. The director is commendable for reflecting...
