A movie worth five points can only be shot four points by the director

The subject is a good subject, but unfortunately I didn't shoot it well. The issue of non-mainstream sexual orientation and gender inequality is supposed to be a good film as long as any line is drilled deeper, but unfortunately the two lines in the film are intertwined and appear in the same character without going deep. Showing this kind of double psychological pressure of the protagonist, on the contrary, a lot of scenes have been laid on the clown-like Bobby. In my opinion, this is just a "justification" for this male chauvinist. It can also be seen from the design of the movie poster that the focus of the film may not be on depicting how the heroine resists the confusion of self-cognition and strives for women's rights. It is more like a "comedy" that focuses on the struggle between the hero and the hero. The unreasonable character plot design can also be glimpsed from the poster. The Bobby on the poster dominates the line of sight, while the heroine looks at him with a smile, and is completely inconsistent with the title of "battle". Or we can think of this battle as ending in a tie. To be honest, I saw this poster before I watched the full movie. I would think that the two characters on the poster are fighting side by side rather than confronting each other, and the heroine’s Guiding the gaze to the male protagonist is more like suggesting that Bobby is the character that this movie wants to focus on.
In the setting of the characters, she has repeatedly hinted and emphasized the importance of tennis to Billie Jean. In her mind, the identity of tennis player is higher than that of female. Each of us will have such a prerequisite for our own cognition. However, it’s a pity that the film is also lacking in expressing her persistence and determination for the sport of tennis.
Although I like to watch Lily, I have to admit that the film’s progress in emotional scenes is too rapid. Before I could digest the background of the tennis circle, I suddenly told me that the heroine had cheated on her hair stylist... As for the first half of the film, I watched it with my aunt-like smiles and full of question marks. I was frustrated by the rapid progress of this same-sex love, and at the same time I wondered if I was watching a love triangle. Dramas rather than sports dramas. But the most commendable part of the whole film is also here. The only commendable part of the director is the beautiful filming of this homosexuality. It might be good to take out this paragraph alone.
When it comes to the part of the tennis sport to be performed, it is much inferior. The scenes of the game can't mobilize the audience's emotions well. The unreasonable turn makes it difficult to enter the scene. The scenes during the game lack dynamic and seem very unstable. This It also makes the theme of the film a lot lighter. The soundtrack is a bit abrupt, and the ending is very general. From the perspective of equal rights, this movie is not as good as "Hidden Figures", and from the perspective of sports, this movie is not as good as "Wrestling!" "Papa", it is a pity that such a wonderful subject was wasted.
Perhaps the real story in reality is more moving than the movie.

    "Never get in between a woman and her hairdresser." "I missed you." "I know."

    "The world isn't always a forgiving place." The real feminism has never been a strong woman, it has always been the pursuit of equality. Originally, the battle for equality alone could be said very well, but the theme of LGBT weight is too heavy, and the perception is lowered a lot.
