Initially thinking it was about Richard III but turns out a more modern Richard, Richard Williams, who is the father of Venus and Serena the two tennis greats. The themes I felt from his story, how he managed to coach and bring up two top sports personalities (in the movie he claims to have two Michael Jordans) are through determination and clear ambition, sometimes sheltering the kids from tough external prejudices like racism at country clubs and elite academies. He also tried to protect his girls physically from neighborhood gangs in Compton, an impoverished city in Los Angeles. In a way, he had to develop himself, moving away from his own tough childhood shaped by poverty, violence and discrimination growing up a black man in Louisiana. Richard embodies a tireless commitment and somewhat confrontational style to secure a better future for his daughters and the family. The movie provided a wholesome and nice message about hope and “following the plan” with the charismatic Will Smith as Richard who is also nominated as Best Actor.
