Wealthy Rollo Treadway (Buster Keaton) suddenly decides to propose to his neighbor across the street, Betsy O'Brien (Kathryn McGuire), and sends his servant to book passage for a honeymoon sea cruise to Honolulu. When Betsy rejects his sudden offer however, he decides to go on the trip anyway, boarding without delay that night. Because the pier number is partially covered, he ends up on the wrong ship, the Navigator, which Betsy's rich father (Frederick Vroom) has just sold to a small country at war.
Agents for the other small nation in the conflict decide to set the ship adrift that same night. When Betsy's father checks up on the ship, he is captured and tied up by the saboteurs. Betsy hears his cry for help and boards the ship to look for him, just before it is cut loose.
The Navigator drifts out into the Pacific Ocean. The two unwitting passengers eventually find each other. At first, they have great difficulty looking after themselves, but adapt after a few weeks. At one point, they sight a navy ship and hoist a brightly-colored flag, not realizing it signals that the ship is under quarantine. As a result, the other vessel turns away.
Finally, the ship grounds itself near an inhabited tropical island and springs a leak. While Rollo dons a deep sea diving suit and submerges to patch the hole, the black natives canoe out and take Betsy captive. When Rollo emerges from the ocean, the natives are scared off, enabling him to rescue Betsy and take her back to the ship. The natives return and try to board the ship. After a fierce struggle, Rollo and Betsy try to escape in a small dinghy. It starts to sink, and the natives swiftly overtake them in their canoes. Just when all seems lost, a navy submarine surfaces right underneath them and they are saved.

坚定的信念+持之以恒的努力=Champion！
20211205-cinemark theater-扎实的起承转合，无功无过，也许是因为真实改编，所以颇为动人。在废墟里看星星——每当看到这样的场景就想起《平凡的世界》里在废墟读书的孙少平，《女心理师》在堕落环境里寻求改变读书的贺顿，是这些信念成就了这些人，环境也无法毁灭这些信念。
但这部电影，实话说，表现了什么演技？双子杀手里面都表现得比现在好啦。
洪常秀三板斧：生活巧妙变虚构；创作观念大讲堂；公然炫耀金敏喜。一再把自己和盘托出，虚构也许永不枯竭，但内里那个洪常秀已经差不多要被穷尽了。
投资孩子的正确范例，放长线钓大鱼，老爹商业头脑很发达。
威尔史密斯演技的确很好，将一个父亲表现得十分立体，让观众对他又爱又恨，国王理查德只是一个家的国王，实际上他还是一个父亲。
大威7个大满贯冠军，小威23个大满贯冠军，女子网球届的迈克尔·乔丹！
极其平淡地讲述了理查德如何训练大小威成为网球巨星的“虎爸”故事但却算不上上层。体育故事里面缺少了应该有的激情和紧张，育儿经方面又变成了简单的爽片缺少了对“虎爸”更为深层的探讨，家庭情景里面又夹杂了太多的宣言性对白，显得略微寡淡。极其优秀的题材和故事，但是呈现出来的效果却异常平庸，缺少了应有的作者视角或者更为创新的角度引起跟多的思考也丢失了威廉姆斯这个角色本应该有的复杂性......
三位天使投资人故事，父亲理查德、教练里克、以及 Nike。Nike 很聪明地在赛前 300 万美元押宝，结果被拒。赛后增加至 1500 万美元才签约。在投资体育明星方面，Nike 真有一套。
不容易啊，靠网球实现了阶级跨越，真的是女儿争气，理查德的策略也是对的，青少年时期接受教育是必须的，利用学校的钱实现教育训练两不误，算盘打得好好。
This is sport. This is great.
本来是要打发时间随便看看的 被这个信念坚定到近乎偏执的父亲角色带进去了
6/10
2小时10分的内容没有最后几分钟真实录像力量大，不太行。
“有人说英雄是你永远遇不上的人，但如果你够幸运，他们会是你的父母。”
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。
理查德除了保护女儿之外，他的性格复杂又矛盾，固执、冲动、聪明、隐忍、坚强、自信、自负、温柔、周密、独断。
威尔·史密斯当然实至名归，表演一流。但电影本身还是比较中庸。无非是底层人民通过努力崛起，一举成名。
