With the imminent release of Rose Matefeo’s brand new romcom Starstruck on BBC Three at the end of April, this coming year marks a watershed moment in broadcasting history with most BBC Three comedy either starring, written by or created by women. BBC Three will be the first UK channel to achieve this landmark in female representation with 58% of long-form scripted comedy written by women.
Upcoming titles include Lazy Susan, Starstruck and Ellie and Natasia plus the second series of both In My Skin and Back to Life.
In addition to this, the BBC today announces four new BBC Comedy Slices for BBC Three, all of which are written by and/or star female talent: Ladybaby, Amicable, Dinosaur and Britney, which results in the majority of comedy programmes on BBC Three now being female led.
Kate Daughton, outgoing Head of Comedy at the BBC, says: “Building on the huge success of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Daisy May Cooper, this marks a monumental achievement and is testament to the fact the most pioneering and exciting new voices in comedy are increasingly female.”
Kate leaves the Comedy Commissioning team today having made a tremendous impact overseeing a raft of female first titles. Since Kate’s arrival in 2017 she has commissioned and nurtured Fleabag, Mum, Ghosts, Gavin & Stacey: Christmas Special (2019), This Time With Alan Partridge, Back to Life, The Goes Wrong Show, Out of Her Mind, Two Doors Down, In My Skin and Man Like Mobeen. Alongside the forthcoming Witchfinder, Alma’s Not Normal and Stephen Merchant series The Offenders (w/t).
Shane Allen, Director of BBC Comedy, says: “Five years ago there were still articles asking where all the funny women were. That hoary old nonsense can finally be dispensed with once and for all. It’s a level playing field with the most vibrant and dynamic work coming through from females writers and writer performers who are elevating the art form of comedy and expanding its horizons. As for Kate Daughton, no longer will she curse at me for loud sneezing in the office. Partly because she’s leaving and mostly because we’ve not been in the office. Truly bereft; in denial that she’s off and we’re lucky to have had her for so long.”
Charlotte Moore, Chief Content Officer, says: “Kate’s impeccable taste, whip smart comedy brain and beguiling ways with talent have had a transformative impact on the comedy output in her time here. The fact that BBC Three can claim to be the first UK channel with a majority of female led and written scripted comedy is in large part down to her vision and passion for backing genre defining female creatives. She’ll be sorely missed but thankfully leaves behind a terrific legacy of shows ahead.”
我看着我散漫，没有进取心的女儿，焦虑万分，却没有坚定的推动她进步的心，大抵是因为她的心性让我也觉得她很难有追求更好的心吧
表演和剧本都很扎实 无功无过 名副其实King Richard
黑人傲慢偏见，白人保守退却
第一个教练太亏了
敏喜的出现彻底扭转了影片的气象，一扫先前的疏离与清冷，变成明亮的、温热的、甚至汗津津的。也许小说家面斥导演仍是对自身境遇的投射与捍卫，那么过曝背景中驻足凝视的女孩，则无疑源于天然的吸引力。创作的欲望讲不清楚写不出来，因冲动而起、随烟雾而散，在千百次的重放与剪辑后，仍不免放映结束后的一声叹息。电影需要色彩吗？或者只需要一朵花。
King Richard
挺流畅的，因为是真实事件，所以不算鸡汤，不过也就成千上万个家庭里面出现这么一个，所以这也是能被拍出来的原因，没啥普适性。当网球来敲门，来打网球吧，爸爸。那几段留白恰到好处
得有决心，和一点魄力，要有一种必须拿下的自信。
20220221 电影的主角不是大小威廉姆斯，而是他们父亲理查德的奇葩人生。最有趣的地方是，理查德从一开始就认定，要改变阶级，就只能通过打球，从事白人占领的网球运动这一条路。但在康普顿培养出两个大满贯选手不但需要运气和天赋，同时还有令人厌烦的固执与坚持。理查德就是这样一个爹，牢牢控制着女儿的“成长权”。体育电影本身的叙事模式较为单一，在有限的空间内，演员的表演和对独特性格的塑造往往成为影片的重点，这一点上电影有突破，但就故事本身来说，仍是励志导向性的，对社会问题（特别是种族问题）的讨论也极为有限。
整体电影风格上比较统一舒服，两个小演员找的很恰当还原度很高，包括那种气质上感觉也很像。母亲与父亲的争吵和最后的比赛的反高潮补足了人物弧光的完整性，比摔跤吧爸爸最明显的优点也在于此。两姐妹的人物很棒也比较克制，主角父亲的角色个人不太喜欢，奥斯卡给这个角色个人觉得差点意思。如果脱离纪实性来看，剧本给的人物成长难度不足，如果像美国那个救火队那样的结尾，让黑人群体正向凝聚是不是更适合主流价值观。片子整体对黑人议题的叙事还比较合格，但女性视角的渺小还是硬伤也不符合现今的价值观，前半部父亲决定一切的剧情看起来有些许不舒适。感觉斯派克李这种黑人kol又很关注体育和电影的人估计不会对这部电影有什么喜欢的感觉（狗头保命）。整体对比赛的描述不多，其实感觉比赛里还会有很多价值没有挖掘但考虑到主角是父亲还是可以理解
这让我回忆起小学时常看网球比赛，对其中一场李娜被小威逆转的局记忆犹新。
老威廉姆斯这人设实在喜欢不起来，连带着威尔·史密斯的表演也看不下去，我反而觉得演妈妈的安洁纽·艾莉丝演技更佳，厨房争吵戏明显女好于男。
一个黑人家长信仰成功学并施之于孩子的故事，没有以往竞技体育题材的澎湃，拍的四平八稳。传奇之处是传主自身创造的传奇。
比起片子和影帝，的確那一拳看的更加爽快，畢竟嘴賤的都是欠揍的
鸡娃片，用种族题材包装了一下就能从无人问津的剧本变成冲奥片。威廉姆斯姐妹的传奇足以撑起一部黑人题材的励志片，结果非得整个四不像
作为一个母亲，我看了这个颇为触动，从小正向鼓励孩子是有多么重要‼️其实以前不喜欢这对姐妹👭，但是看了电影改变了看法，网坛上能出现非白人的世界冠军意义非凡，为她们骄傲。
典型美食鸡汤片，有一说一，老威廉姆斯有这么多戏吗？还是非要强行加戏，史皇这表演都不如《当幸福来敲门》，特别寡淡，谁来都能演。
理查德不仅是女儿们的中心，更是支撑起整个故事的灵魂，史皇的表演太扎实，把理查德的复杂面相演绎的特别到位，故事的内核和当年的《当幸福来敲门》相似，只可惜故事太平铺直叙太符合当下美国社会的一个潮流，反而缺少了后者给人的那种浸润内心的感动，更像是一个套版模式的流水线作品。包括赛场的还原段落，虽然拍的蛮不错，但也是和《绝杀慕尼黑》《夺冠》类似，没有什么新意可言。
always love this kind of heartwarming story... straight outta compton
光是见识这样的爹就吓得双脚打颤了……幸运的是女儿们确实有“你就是第一名”的天资，想想还有多少鸡娃不成的父母？自以为是急功近利，控制孩子的一生。跟看《摔跤吧爸爸》一样不适。
