And the eternal battle begins. Who is better? Men or women? There are two genders and we can’t just live with the idea of one complementing the other, has two Be one superior. Again the white male kingdom is been threatened by others. Why to give up all the benefits of the number one, the smarter , stronger , dominant one on earth. Well the only way to maintain that position is by not letting anyone else to prove them wrong. Reason why the only way to keep women in control Ian by marginalizing them. Becoming housewife’s dedicated to raise the kids and care about home while they actually taking control of their families just living under the income of their husbands. Making them feel like a second option in sports and entertainment always moving under the make directions. But times have changed. After civil right and looking for equality, woman has raised their voice and said no more. No more oppression. No more being submissive. They as smart as men and even physically can’t be as strong as them they can give a fight and show some moves and talent when it comes to sports and challenges. Understanding that men and women are different in many ways but that doesn’t mean they are less valuable than the other and they deserve to be in charge and take control of their actions and lives. They can Ben the center of their world and can make business out of them , from their talent and as any other human being, deserves recognition for that. The battlefield is no longer the bedroom where husbands and wives try to keep a family together understanding each other and loving the other as your other half, to build and make a relationship work.
Now we are trying to make business, rule countries, manage institutions, all under the same rights and opportunities for everyone. No race, gender or religion will discriminate you. We all have the same chance to prove themselves and if capable take the lead. And examples of this revolutionary movement come from decades ago, but is until now that we get to enjoy the benefits, but now more than ever is important and feels right to go back and remember the ones who were brave enough to stand up and speak out making a change and starting a movement that would change society to the way we all know now. One of this memorable moments happened at a tennis court. “Battle of the sexes” (2017) was named and now is a motion picture about that famous tennis match between world's #1 woman Billie Jean King performed for recently award winner actress Emma Stone in a role that feels like she was born to play, and ex-men's champ Bobby Riggs, performed with the usual humor and temper we are use to from actor Steve Carell, bringing to live this perfect example of a white 50 year old man, trying to prove men are better than women, at least in sports, he says. This event reached more than 90 million viewers around the world and is until these days that we feel grateful for it as it just not prove how wrong were men about women but started a revolution back in 1973 that continued with civil rights and even in recent years equality rights for marriage. But the charm and magic of this story is not only by remembering such an historic moment but to understand these two characters that through their own lives will expose why things were like that back then and why is natural to believe we've accomplished that much unable to even try to go back.
She is a young marries woman that is focused on her passion, tennis, and after proving being the best at it while keep being humble and have fun, she realizes that deserves better and not only her but all her team mates, specially when it comes to the paycheck, while men are getting paid by millions, she just get a small portion just for being a girl. but this one is not a quite one and she had enough so she decides to defy the league and go by her own, campaigning about equal pay for women. But during this time she also happens to meet real love, when getting a haircut, she meets this woman that makes her feel so special and understand what everybody says about sparks flying all around. But she is married to a lovely, handsome and understanding man. He is one of the good ones, but sadly she cant reciprocate that, specially now that she has discovered their real feeling and what she really likes. But also, she's aware of the fight she is about to face so for better has to keep things in the closet and accept her reality and choose a fight, and she goes for women rights, specially after getting an offer from Riggs himself, trying to make a point about men being stronger and able to manage stress better than the emotional women. And even she can see his real intentions, after he beats the #2 using that to prove his point, she can't handle and accept the offer to play against him and defend women's honor, against all odds to win, even the own women were rooting for the man, proving sometimes is hard to stand against the more popular. But Billie is a tough woman and confident of her skills and is tired of talking, she just wants to play and stop that man of bullying woman and prove all these old men running the major companies how wrong they are to still believe women deserve less or are incapable of matching their male opponents.
And Riggs will be always known as the joke he was. He reacts like the small kid in class when feeling insecure and threatened, by screaming and making fun of others to distract the attention from the real matter. He is no one. Just living from his old glories. Re married, and living under his new wife roof and protection, he has a good life, one that he can't care less as he has a severe addiction for gambling, which creates conflict between him and his wife and leaves him looking foolish in front of everyone else. He can't even have a real relationship with his sons. Instead of being a father figure, they seem him as a joke and someone they can't rely on. And so his wife, which ends kicking him out of the house. Reason why he can't tolerate another woman proves more power in something that he is good at: tennis. And he has the experience and the skills even that age is playing against him, this will be more about technique. And by doing what he does the best, he gambles, asking Billie to play against him. He can't resist the opportunity. And he'll do whatever it takes to make this happen, and turn the whole match into a circus, showing up in tv at any opportunity, practicing in every possible costume that will make fun of women. And the match actually happens, as everybody knows already, and for those who still have no clue about it, won't spoiled the end, but what really happens when these two face off in the tennis court is a magic moment between men and women. The perfect example of how different we are while at the same time we are both humans and that's enough to prove how similar we are and both capable and wonderful in each way, more of a complement to each other than adversary and at the same movement than the ball goes from one side to the other, so is this game between genders trying to understand the other in order to respect it but at the end no one is better than the other but you can make it less by your own actions and that won't make you better.
How aware are we about the changes nd the evolution from 50 years ago until now days? Now we are entitled to ask for equal rights. Women are divas ruling the entertainment industry. A few have already ruled countries and proved they are as capable to that duty and responsibility as any other man. Every day we get to see more women managing business, entrepreneurs, reaching higher positions in big corporations other than just been the assistant of a big head. All these are big steps after just a few decades of revolution trying to break the stigma of women are only meant to be married, become mothers, and raise kids. Now is even common to see man staying at home while she is the one going out for work. Proving that man is no less a man or will lose his masculinity if able to take care of the house chores and being a parent. It's about becoming a real couple where both have the same rights and opinions and deserve the same opportunities to search success and challenge their capabilities. Is just the image of the alpha male that keeps weighting among some, afraid of seem less at others sight if they let other take control, specially a woman, but they are emotional and have proven that their compassion can build better negotiations than the male ego that just seek power no matter what. So after all this is time to remember and be grateful for what we have achieved and over come and give some credit to those that initiated this change by letting their voice being heard and show with actions what they meant rather than just talk and blind themselves from the truth. So even the film sometimes tries too hard to takes us back to that time and test our feeling of nostalgia to sell the story, is their performances and the resonance of the events and all what is involve in it that makes it a most to watch this season as probably will be make more noise as the award season gets closer and these two for sure will be present and we'll be there to applaud their recognition rather than just a performance and hopefully all that would sound louder to shut all the noise of those wanting to go back to the time was before.
