Battle of the genders rating: 4.0
It tells the women's equal rights movement in the United States, a famous gender war between men and women in tennis. In the 1970s, the great American female tennis player, Billy Jane King, ranked number one in women’s tennis, left the United States Open Union in order to fight for the same prize money as female tennis players and male tennis players, and founded the US Women’s Open. . This behavior dissatisfied those chauvinistic men, especially the former tennis champion who loves to gamble. He won two Wimbledon championships. The 55-year-old Bobby, for bonuses and gambling, and like Billy, prepared to have a sex game. Fight, but Billy knew that he was just sensationalizing, and he didn't agree. He had no choice but to find Margaret, the second place in the women's tennis team, who had just won Billy, who was in poor condition, and temporarily jumped to the first place. He defeated Margaret with ease, and utterly scorned and despised women. His arrogance became even more arrogant, causing Billy to have to fight to advance the hard-won equal rights between men and women. After careful preparation, Billy won the game. It was like the world proved that women are not vases, but the real half of the sky, and deserve respect.
Like the running account of the video, there is nothing outstanding about it. Even every turning point is unremarkable: 1. You lose because you cheated on a woman and didn't prepare for the game wholeheartedly? 2. Because he underestimates the enemy and does not consider his age, Bobby is not prepared for the decisive battle at all. This character is indeed very arrogant, self-righteous, self-conscious, and obsessed with gambling. Is the importance of this game too arrogant or is it simply because of the unsatisfactory marriage? 3. It also failed to clarify the significance of women's equal rights at the time, and when the film was placed in 2017, when women's equal rights had become the consensus of most people, it was not so happy; 4. It did not reflect that tennis is one thing. A sport that requires extremely high physical fitness. Muscle strength determines the speed of the ball. The speed of running and returning the ball is the two major factors in the decisive victory. This is a natural disadvantage for women. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to win this kind of competition. It didn't highlight this point, it was just a taste of it. Therefore, when Billy finally won, the excitement of the audience was not provoked. This is the angle that is the easiest to provoke the audience's high point, but the director and screenwriter completely abandoned it. What a pity!
