In February 2020, I watched King Richard for the first time at Movix Kameari. The drama film was released in 2021 and is based on a true story. Will Smith starred in it.
It tells a story of Richard Williams, the
father of the Williams sisters, and depicts how he raised and made the sisters the
world-famous professional tennis players.
Will Smith gave a wonderful performance as the stubborn father
who sticks to his beliefs no matter what. I was kind of surprised that Smith acted
the middle-aged man looking not good in spite of his jovial and handsome image.
Then I felt his zest for acting because he was restraining his cheerful and
refreshing charms. I like Ali
directed by Michael Mann more than other movies starring Smith. The handsome
actor then was nominated for Academy Award for his passionate acting as Ali and
in 2022 he won an Oscar for his performance as Richard. He finally did it for
the first time.
The presenter of the 2022 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, Chris Rock, kind of teased about the head of Will Smith's wife in the ceremony. Will Smith at first listened with a smile, however, he came to and slapped the presenter, then Smith got back to his seat and angrily shouted to him, "Keep my wife's name out of your f**king mouth!" Chris soothingly replied over a microphone, "I'm going to. Okay?" Rock had been expected to make a bitterly funny speech as a stand-up comedian there. He might have anticipated Smith just expressing his regret about his joke later without expecting him to let off steam because both of them are the same race. I do not know why Smith did such a thing in the big event. Was it because of his strong love to his wife? Was it because he feared that his wife would get angry at him if he did nothing about it? Or was it a farce which many people think of it as in the United States? Although Rock seems to be slapped on the face in the still images of it, yet Smith actually slaps him on the left chest in the video. I would have thought that it was too much if Smith had punched him in the face. Personally, I regarded his act as forgivable if he did that with his pure affections to his spout because he just slapped Rock. Moreover, I thought better of him for a man. People say that violence is bad, all the same, I cannot help doing something violent when the opponent seems not to know exactly how I am angry. Afterward, during his acceptance speech for Best Actor, Smith spoke about Denzel Washington who said to him after the racket, "At your highest moment, be careful, that's when the devil comes for you." Africans as well as Latins seem to be far more lively and jovial than shy persons like me, which makes me feel inferiority so I am not a big fan of many African actors. Smith had been one of them, though I have become a fan of him since I watched his performance in the 2021 movie and I knew his attitude toward Chris. As for Denzel, I have been a big fan of him because he seems to be a person of character. I thought that Denzel was wonderful when I heard the episode. I will be careful at such moments according to his words. By the way, Smith will possibly be deprived of the Oscar due to that slap. Life is tough. If a woman did the same thing, she would not be.
I was concerned about Richard Williams after
watching it, so I studied about him. Richard's real life made me think that the
movie beautified the role of him. I also thought that the Williams sisters
might have become the superstars only with their excellent physical abilities
and the help of their mother, Oracene, though I suspected that Richard was
needed because the society was more male-oriented than now. It means
nothing to assume the kind of things here, though. Either way, every film will be directed.
