Whenever I see La Paura I think of it as a companion piece to Eyes Wide Shut, or maybe it is the other way around. Adultery makes both films tick but in different ways. I think Phillip French was right on the money when he pointed out a Wizard of Oz thing in Kubrick's last work. Like Dorothy, Tom and Nicole go through fantasies and nightmares and at the end Dorothy's reassuring childish motto "there's no place like home" is ironically updated to the adult circumstantial adage "there's no sex like marital sex". Kubrick's take is intellectual, he never leaves the world of ideas to touch the ground. He taunts the audience first with an erotic movie and then with a thriller and refuses to deliver either of them. He was married to his third wife for 40 years, until he died. Rossellini was still married to Ingrid Bergman when he directed La Paura; they had been adulterous lovers and their infidelity widely criticized La Paura is a tale, a noirish one. The noir intrigue is solved and the tale has a happy ending. The city is noir; the country is tale, the territory where childhood is possible. The transition is operated in the most regular way: by car, a long-held shot taken from the front of the car as it rides into the road, as if we were entering a different dimension. Irene (Bergman) starts the movie: we just see a dark city landscape but her voice-over narration tells us of her angst and informs us that the story is a flashback, hers. Bergman's been cheating on her husband. At first guilt is just psychological torture but soon expands into economic blackmail and then grows into something else. From beginning to end the movie focuses on what Bergman feels, every other character is there to make her feel something. Only when the director gives away the plot before the main character can find out does he want us to feel something Bergman still can't. When she finds out, we have already experienced the warped mechanics of the situation and we may focus once again on the emotional impact it has on Bergman's Irene. In La Paura treasons are not imagined but real, nightmares are deliberate and the couple's venom suppurates in bitter ways. Needless to say, Ingrid has another of her rough rides in the movies but Rossellini doesn't dare put her away as he did in Europa 51, nor does he abandon her to the inscrutable impassivity of nature (Stromboli). His gift is less transcendent and fragile than the conclusion of Viaggio in Italia. He just gives his wife as much of a fairy tale ending as a real woman can have, a human landscape where she can finally feel at home. Back to the country, a half lit interior scene where shadows suggest the comfort of sleep. After all, it's the "fairy godmother" who speaks the last words in the movie.
比预想的要好看很多，可能是我对网球的喜爱导致这部电影我是非常感兴趣的，虽然本片没有太多出彩的点，比较四平八稳，可以说是最传统的冲奥片了，但观影体验总的来说还是不错的。本片的表演是我最喜欢的一趴，群戏比预想之中好很多，威尔史密斯可能真的要拿影帝了，虽然这部电影也没有什么神演技神发挥，但总的来说演的还是很像原型的，也不乏一些moment，真的拿奖了凭他的资历也不令人意外。安杰纽的表演比想象中好很多，有几个片段是非常出彩的，奥提算是实至名归
老爸确实是很顽固，与他共事真的要很耐得住性子😂…这可能也是大小V能成为历史上伟大运动员不可或缺的一部分
看完传记，深深地了解了计划的重要性。对于威尔史密斯奥斯卡打主持人事件，只能说，成年人的世界只有法律，在社会主义制度下，打人肯定是不对的，没办法。
国王理查德=大小威父亲，用近乎专制的父爱指导家里的女孩们，要么好好学习好好打球，要么沦落街头被警察抓走，以强大的自信颠覆各种固有的球星培养路线，好在他的策略是有效的，且两个女孩都非常争气。很佩服他要求女儿坚持学习的想法，但整条路有借鉴意义吗？我打了个问号。
stay humble... not even possible
美国电影学会AFI公布的2021年度十佳电影（排名不分先后）：《健听女孩》《倒数时刻》《沙丘》《犬之力》《国王理查德》《不要抬头》《西区故事》《玉面情魔》《甘草比萨》《麦克白的悲剧》，特别奖：《灵魂乐之夏》《贝尔法斯特》。—— 开头让我联想到《当幸福来敲门》的感觉，而后的故事则有点网球版《摔跤吧！爸爸》的感觉，不过《国王理查德》拍得有些真实生活日常化，因而于我而言还是不够跌宕起伏、精彩纷呈。
对理查德描写太正面了，只能说大小威是天才选手
努力自信，制定计划，日复一日、追逐实现它！... ^ ^
典型的成王败寇与美式鸡汤。你是大威小威的爹，你的方法就是正确的，你是黑人影帝威尔史密斯，你扇人耳光也就理所当然了。越来越趋向男性化的两姐妹，让女子网球变得毫无美感。记得当年莎拉波娃的海报贴满了大街小巷，广告接到手软，大威小威两姐妹的比赛我是看到就转台的。
比较遗憾的是没有太多体育竞技方面表达的野心，另外就是情节需要失去了妹妹这块的角色刻画平衡。当然相似度这块是值得称赞的，史皇恍惚让人想起《当幸福来敲门》，把那股Asshole里透着关爱的劲儿刻画得让人又爱又恨，而且甚至要比片尾纪录片里真实的父亲还要自信心爆棚，还蛮厉害的。
2022-3-7. 看评论才知道原来这么多人认为国王是褒义词?那你们知道国王坎通纳吗...
1.5；都2022年了，能不能不要再拍这种流水线式的传记片了。完全是情绪的过度表演和可能性的坍缩。拍成纪录片都好很多。
当我很小的时候，我总会对自己说，希望自己长大后不要变成那些讨厌的大人，活成自己讨厌的样子。就一直这样长大，我一直都认为自己还是当初的孩子，直到今天看到这部电影……
有点像摔跤吧爸爸。父亲的角色是复杂的。大威小威的传奇倒是有点吸引我。缺点，太长了，本来100分钟左右就可以讲完的，以及作为一部体育电影还是缺少了一点燃的味道吧。
Why are you alone? I mean, who cares? 怎么会有这么迷人的电影
每年都跳过陪绑的体育电影。。。今年被片名骗了没躲过去。。。观感还不错。。。大半功劳是威尔史密斯
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…
人真的照顾身边每一个人情绪但是却克制自己情绪地去生活吗？

7分 ，奥卡陪跑作品，美版《摔跤吧爸爸》，每个地区都有鸡娃的父亲，成功了才能叫国王。故事性很强，两个娃一个比一个配角，真正的主角是极度偏执自我，控制欲极强的不完美的父亲。其实看威尔史密斯每年刷脸看的有点疲劳，但仍希望他早日拿到影帝，但绝不是这一部。PS：话说回来，片尾录像带里的人和影片中演员的相似度巨高欸！这个妆造真不错。
