Kulindeleke kakhulu Imfazwe yesini Ukusuka kwiFox Searchlight nakwi-21st Century Fox ibalisa ibali labantu abadumileyo Imfazwe yesini Umdlalo wentenetya ngo-1973 apho uBillie Jean King woyisa owayesakuba yintshatsheli ye-tennis uBobby Riggs ngebhaso le- $ 100,000. Umlingisi ophambili uEmma Stone kwindima kaKumkani, kunye noSteve Carell kwindima kaBobby Riggs, ifilimu iyakhuthaza njengowasetyhini osekelwe kubomi bakhe.
Kwinkomfa yoonondaba ngempelasonto ekhuthaza ifilimu, iFox Searchlight icwangcise iinkomfa ezimbini ezahlukeneyo: enye inamalungu eQela uBillie Jean (obonisa ubomi bokwenyani Kumkani ngokwakhe, ecaleni Ilitye, uAndrea Riseborough, uAlan Cumming, uAustin Stowell, uNatalie Morales , kunye UJessica McNamee ), Elinye liQela uBobby (Steve Carell, uBill Pullman, Elisabeth Shue, Eric Christian Olsen, abalawuli uValerie Faris noJonathan Dayton, umbhali womxholo othi Ndinga Dare, uSara Bareilles, kunye nomqambi uNick Britell).
Ifilimu ayigubungeli kuphela umdlalo owaziwayo, kodwa neziganeko ezikhokelela kuwo, kubandakanya ukusekwa kwe Isekethe yaseVirginia Slims , ityelelo lentenetya labafazi elisekwe nguKing kunye nabanye abasetyhini ababhinqileyo abashiya i-United States Lawn Tennis Association ngenxa yokunyuka (kunye nesini) ukuhlawula ukungalingani.
Andenzi ezemidlalo, kwaye ndazi okuncinci kakhulu ngentenetya, kodwa ndihleli kwiqela leBillie Jean ndimamele uBillie Jean King ethetha, ndiye ndabona ukuba ubukhulu bakhe abukho nje kubuchule bakhe beetenisi, kodwa kubuntu bakhe kunye nokusebenza kwakhe. Kwiminyaka engama-73 ubudala, uKing uhlala enamandla ombulelo ngoku, ngokungafaniyo xa wayeqala ukudlala kwii-1970s, unokuvula malunga nokuba ungubani na kwaye ngubani amthandayo. Ngapha koko, iqabane lakhe, u-Ilana Kloss owayekade esebenza kwintenetya wayekho! Uyaqhubeka nokuxhasa abasetyhini kwezemidlalo ngaye ISiseko sezeMidlalo sabafazi , kunye nokunceda abanye ngokuzibandakanya kwakhe nomhlobo wakhe olungileyo Isiseko sikaGawulayo sika-Elton John .
Xa u-Emma Stone wabuzwa ukuba uthathe njani isigqibo malunga nenkqubo yakhe yokubonisa umntu obalaseleyo kwilizwe lezemidlalo athe wafikelela kuye, u-Stone waphendula wathi:
Andiqondi ukuba yayisisigqibo nyani njengoko ndandingazange ndidlale umntu wokwenyani ngaphambili, ngakumbi umntu ofana noBillie Jean. Kwaye ke bendingaqinisekanga ukuba inkqubo yam izakufuna ntoni. Ke, xa ndadibana naye, wayemhle kakhulu kwaye endamkela kakuhle, kwaye uBillie Jean wayenza yacaca kwasekuqaleni ukuba uvulelekile kuyo nayiphi na inkqubo ekufuneka siyenzile ukuze sizalisekise yonke le nto. Ke siye saphosa iibhola kwinkundla yentenetya, kwaye ndakhawuleza ndabona ukuba ndifuna ukubukela imifanekiso yakhe emininzi yexesha, kwaye ndafunda lukhulu ngaye emva koko , kuba sele ebumbeke ngokupheleleyo ngoku, kwaye uyakwazi ukuthetha ngayo yonke le nto ngokuvalwa nangasemva, kwaye angayibona ngokucacileyo kunokuba wayenokukwazi ukuya kwiminyaka engamashumi amabini anesithoba. Ke, ndiye ndaphela ndenza uphando oluninzi ngaye ngelo xesha.
UAlan Cumming, odlala indawo kaTed Tinling, umdlali wentenetya yesiNgesi / umyili wefashoni ohamba nesithoba seSekethe kwisekethe yabo yokuqala kwaye abe ngumfihlisi kuKumkani obonakalise ingqumbo kwimodareyitha yenkomfa ebiza isimilo sakhe ngomnye wamantombazana, (Cumming: Ungathini wena !), Kodwa emva koko wathetha ngokuthanda ixesha lakhe kwiseti, kuba yinto engaqhelekanga ukuba ujikelezwe ngabasetyhini abaninzi kwiseti yefilimu. Ndiyithandile.
UAustin Stowell udlala umyeni kaKing owayengumyeni wakhe, uLarry King (ayinguye lo mfo weendaba, intenetya), oxhasa injongo yomfazi wakhe yokwenza intenetya ibengcono kubafazi, nanjengoko efumanisa ngendlela engeyiyo eyokuba umfazi wakhe abathandanayo abathandanayo. Xa wayethetha ngendlela yakhe kwindima kaLarry, uStowell wathi:
Indlela endisondele ngayo kwasekuqaleni yayiluthando. Lo yayingomnye umntu owathi… uLarry wabona uBilly Jean njengebhinqa elinamandla, elinamandla elinomyalezo, kunye nengxelo awayefuna ukuphuma ayise emhlabeni. Kwaye wayekulungele ukuzincama ukuze amvumele ukuba ahambise loo myalezo kwihlabathi kwaye amnike zonke izixhobo ezifunekayo ukwenza oko. Ekupheleni kosuku, ndicinga ukuba obu budlelwane bakhelwe kukungazicingeli, kwaye beku malunga nomyalezo, umyalezo ubaluleke ngaphezu komtshato.
UKumkani ngokwakhe wavuma, wathi, Mna noLarry besisoloko sithetha ngokutshintsha umhlaba we-tennis, ukusuka kumashumi amathandathu. Ngokwenyani, kwakukwithala leencwadi laseCal State LA apho saqala khona ukuthetha malunga nendlela esifuna ukuyitshintsha ngayo intenetya. Ke yena kunye nam besikunye kakhulu kuyo, nto leyo ibonakalise ngokwenene indlela ahlala ehlala enxibelelana ngayo.
Emva koko uza nomzuzu omncinci kwifilimu eyayinentsingiselo enkulu kuye. Kwifilimu, xa uKumkani esondela kumongameli we-USLTA, uJack Kramer (uBill Pullman), ukunyusa umvuzo wabadlali ababhinqileyo, kukho ifolda yamaphepha etafileni. Loo maphepha, kubomi bokwenyani, yayingamaphepha azotywe nguLarry, owayongeze ukuba ngumdlali wentenetya wayekwangummeli. Wadweba onke amaphepha ayimfuneko kubafazi ukuba baqale ukhenketho lwabo phambi kwexesha, ukuze ukuba intlanganiso kaKing noKramer ihambe kakubi (yenzekile), kungabikho nto ibathintelayo ekuqhankqalazeleni bodwa.
Ngaphandle kwemicimbi ejikeleze isini sakhe kunye nobudlelwane babo bothando, uKumkani uyaphinda aqinisekise, besikunye kakhulu kunye.
Ilungu elinye leThoba leNqobo lalijongana nobuhlanga kunye nokuziphatha ngokwesini ngelo xesha. URosie Casals , owayekwangumlingani ophindwe kabini kaKing, ngumfazi omncinci onzala ka-El Salvadorean owayemenyiwe ukuba abe ngomnye wabagqabazi ngexesha lomlo weDabi laseSini. Enye? Umdlalo weNkcazo yezemidlalo, uHoward Cosell. Ithoni engathandekiyo yesini sokubonakala iyakuchukumisa.
UNatalie Morales, odlala iCasals kwifilimu, wafakwa kumdlalo weqonga noCosell ngomlingo wezinto ezibonakalayo. Uninzi lwenkcazo, kubonakala ngathi, uCosell unesandla sakhe entanyeni kaCasals. UMorales uyacacisa:
Kulungile imifanekiso yoqobo kanye. Ngandlela thile ukrwitsha uRosie ngasemva. Kwaye sihlala sicinga ngoWoward Cosell njengomphawuli odumileyo, kodwa yayikuku Mohammed Ali ukuba wayifumana into yakhe, akazange ayenze intenetya. Ke, uRosie yintshatsheli yeGrand Slam. Njengaye, omnye wabadlali be-tennis abaphumeleleyo ngalo lonke ixesha, ofaneleke kakhulu ukuba agqabaze ngalo mdlalo, kwaye umazisa njengaye Hee! NguRosie Casals omncinci! Kwaye ngokusisiseko uyambamba entanyeni. Kuyabalisa kakhulu ngamaxesha.
Sika ku-2017 njenge USteane Stephens uphumelele isihloko sakhe sokuqala se-Grand Slam e-US Open, ephumelela i- $ 3.7 yezigidi. Imodareyitha yenkomfa yoonondaba ivakalise ukuba iyayithanda imbonakalo yobuso bukaStephens xa yayijonga umzuzu wayo wokuphumelela ngelixa yayinikwa itsheki, kwaye yabuza iqela ukuba livakalelwa njani ukubona umzuzu onje, emva kokusebenza kule vidiyo ibonisa uKing alwele ukufumana abadlali beentenetya imali eninzi.
Ilitye lifakwe ngaphakathi:
Ndandise-US Open noBillie Jean King ndibukele lo mzuzu, ngoko kwakungakholeleki, kwaye uBillie Jean wathi yile nto yena kunye nabasithoba bokuqala ababeyilwela, ngoko ke kuyinto engakholelekiyo… ukuba yile nto bayilwelayo. ye. Babesilwela isizukulwana esilandelayo ukuya phambili ukuba namaxesha anje. Ke, ndinokucinga ukuba kufanele ukuba kunjani kuBillie Jean ukubukela le ntombazana incinci inikwa i-3.7 yezigidi zeedola. Kuyamangalisa.
Kwaye uKumkani wazisa umba wobuhlanga njengoko wayeqhubeka, esithi:
Ibiyi. Kwaye, ungumfazi wombala. Yenye yezinto ebesizama ukuzenza nathi. Ukuba uyaqaphela, kwi Imfazwe yesini , imhlophe kangakanani yonke into. Ndicinga ukuba sasinabantu ababini bebala kubaphulaphuli. Ndiyabulela uThixo uRosie wayengumvakalisi, okanye siza kuba sengxakini enkulu. Kodwa sasinoJim Brown, umdlali webhola we-NFL, kwaye sasinoGeorge Foreman, imbethi manqindi edumileyo.
Ngasekupheleni kweseshoni yeQela uBillie Jean, kwaphakanyiswa umbuzo malunga nelinye lawona maxesha abalulekileyo, kodwa ethuleyo kwifilimu. Emva kokuba uBillie Jean wefilimu ephumelele ngokuchasene noBobby Riggs, kukho umzuzu apho ehleli kwigumbi lokutshixa yedwa kwaye elila, evumela lonke uxinzelelo kwezi veki zigqithileyo, emtshatweni wakhe, ekufumaneni kwakhe nasekuvumeni isini sakhe, Ukusuka kwikhondo lomsebenzi wakhe, kwaye kuye ngoku ubonwa njengomzekelo kubantu basetyhini kuyo yonke indawo ukuze ekugqibeleni baphume ngendlela angazange ayivumele ngaphambili.
Njengoko wayehleli kwinkomfa, uKumkani wathula, wathi, Ndicinga ukuba uEmma uyichaze ngokupheleleyo, ikhulu lepesenti lilungile. Andizange ndibenalo elo thuba, kodwa yiloo ndlela kanye endiziva ngayo. Uyifumene bhetele kunokuba bendingenakho noku… yayichukumisa. Ke… iyinyani ngento ebisentliziyweni yam ngelo xesha.
Ke, kubonakala ngathi, le vidiyo ayisiyintsikelelo yowasetyhini kuphela, kodwa ikwafumana izinto eziyiliweyo ngenxa yomdlalo weqonga, ulunge kakhulu.
Ngomso, ndizokuzisa ingxelo yeqela leBobby. Okwangoku, Imfazwe yesini ifika kumabala emidlalo NGOLWESIHLANU.
