Although the title of the film is "War of the Genders", the plot that really revolves around the confrontation between Mrs. King and Bobby did not begin until one hour after the beginning of the film. Between the personal lives of the Biography, although the audience understands the living conditions of the two and the choices they face, they don't feel too substituting because of the continuous jumps in the plot. The director's portrayal of the two characters is too superficial and not in-depth, which makes the final duel the audience will not have a strong sense of participation, because we can't feel the strong desire of the characters.

  • TV Reporter: Miss King said she will not play for the money but, in her words, "to put women's tennis and women's lib back where it belongs. Riggs said he issued the challenge because "I want to prove that women are lousy and they don't belong on the same court as a man."

  • Bobby Riggs: Now, don't get me wrong. I love women, in the the bedroom and in the kitchen. But these days they want to be everywhere! They want to be doing everything! Where is going to end? Pretty soon us fellas are not gonna be able to go to a ballgame, we're not gonna be able to go fishing, we're not gonna be able to stop for a drink after work. And that's what this whole women's lib thing is about. And it's got to stop. And Bobby Riggs is the man to stop it. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Custer's Last Stand. This is the Lobber versus the Libber.
