Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
不喜欢。说教味道太浓了，絮絮叨叨的两个半小时，威尔史密斯饰演的爸爸一直到最后都很拉垮。
好莱坞变态老爸鸡娃片。史皇来出演的意义就是本领域(电影)的黑人佼佼者扮演另一领域(网球)的黑人佼佼者(的父亲。史皇表演当然够格，就是不那么有必要，而且角色的走向偏戏剧，偏“观众愿意看到的”而必然背离了真实原型本身。
#代达罗斯放映#第二场。除了史皇等人的表演的表演，没啥看点，有点老套。为什么叫他国王，是因为他在家里近乎独断专行吗……
很工整的片子，而且给人的感觉像极了《点球成金》。
我一直相信每一个生命都是奇迹，但是对我来说创造、陪伴、关注，实在是太可怕的一件事。看看地球那一面那个完全不同的地方怎么养育对待孩子，小孩们又有些什么奇思妙想，这部分挺有趣。
父亲造就了女儿，女儿成就了父亲。三分之一的体育片、三分之一的家庭片、三分之一的人物传记，一整部美国主旋律电影。即便他成功培养出了两个超级巨星，我依然不喜欢这种教育方式，我是指打球这方面，做人那方面的教育还是赞同的！
威尔史密斯若没在奥斯卡颁奖礼上扇人一巴掌，可能不会关注这片。全剧关注父权、女权、种族歧视等话题，但总觉得浅尝辄止，今年的奥斯卡好几部美国梦的电影了，连续看下来有点腻。其实体育迷知道威廉姆斯姐妹后来取得的成绩更精彩，可惜电影表现的故事结束的较早。
无功无过的传记片，家庭戏过多“一地鸡毛”式的描述反而累赘，落点到种族也在意料之中，相比过去太多讲述白人成名的电影多了一层看点，但回过头来并不认为影片在呈现大威小威的传奇路程或体育竞技本该有的热血沸腾这两点上做得有多好。当然从片名和内容上看实则是重心偏向于父亲理查德的传记片，然而把理查德拍成了我行我素的形象也不知是忠于原型还是有意为之，总之这一角色的魅力大多数还是来自威尔·史密斯《当幸福来敲门》式的热演和鸡汤台词。说句题外话，中国网坛那部电影恐怕永远看不到了，而结合近两年的中国体坛轶事，如果能拍成电影想必也会是惊天地泣鬼神的史诗。
当一个混蛋成功了，他混蛋的部分，也就自然成为他成功的原因了？这种成功学贯穿始终，接受不能。以及对网球这项运动，体现得也太稀薄了。基本不看女网，原来大小威出道是和辛吉斯库娃一个时代的？瑞思拜！为了听波迷和狐狸涛聊播客才看的。然鹅还没更新。
太规矩了，黑人/女性议题，精力都花在写台词，还要（假装不经意，其实特别刻意地）反复强调种族背景和底层成功学，颁奖季特供
强调下，讲的是大小威姐妹的父亲，应该看这个男人为他的孩子们做了什么，是如何做到的。假设仅关注体育明星的历史，那就差劲儿多了。看他如何训练孩子，如何避开商业化，如何坚定不移，如何做梦。另说，威尔一定是入戏太深没出来，他那一巴掌简直就是理查德先生附体。因为这一掌，才看的本片。有孩子的父母可以看看，可以参考参考。
他让我想起了几年前桑德拉·布洛克的《弱点》，当年奥斯卡女主给了她！这一次威尔·史密斯很像。 父亲多么专横，暂且不说。反正没有这父亲，不能有现在的大威、小威！政治与种族是父亲的恐惧，让姑娘们学着强大，也没毛病。 但影片160分钟真是又臭又长，少40分钟是可以的。观者不需要每一步都了解，仿佛在窥探你的生活。就这么个传记故事，仅此而已！
虎爸鸡娃的故事在当今的黑人人权与女权议题下重新被包装和召唤出来，从家庭层面上这是一个极其蛮横和冒险的赌博，孩子的自信被建构在持续的胜利之上，其精神状态是脆弱的。但社会总是会赞颂这样的教育实验中成功的例子，这种“优绩主义”叙事以一种极端的方式进行着平权。简而言之，good job but I'll never support you.

非裔美国人版虎爹战歌，又一部颁奖季命题电视电影。肉眼可见编剧后期加入的talking point导致影片意识形态上产生了精神分裂。而作为讲述女网GOAT诞生史的片，居然过分强调成功学到毫无任何对运动本身的热爱与享受的展现的地步，简直令人咂舌
5.0分。一个培养出两个「谷爱凌」的父亲形象，居然可以被讲述得如此乏味单薄流水账，父女之间、姐妹之间那点事儿都没讲透，就忙着往种族议题上靠，拿了奥斯卡六项提名又如何？不过更加直接地暴露了这部电影的投机者嘴脸，以及奥斯卡（美国电影）的江河日下。
“或许你应该跟我来纽约。”
今年的奥斯卡最佳男主角不是威尔就是卷福。两个人的时机都到了。
故事的重点不在于两位网球巨星在贫民窟中成长，更侧重于老理查德近乎独裁者的教育方法，一切大包大揽。
各层面在今年好莱坞主旋律里都算是好看的一部，本质上还是宣扬无死角政治正确的美国梦。看的时候想，谷燕也值得做一部…
