The film opens with a narrated disclaimer over footage of an opening coffin. The narrator explains that the film's climax is so terrifying that it may kill the viewer, and reassures the audience that if they die of fright while watching the film, they will receive a free burial service, and it closes on the casket which has a card inside reading "Reserved for You."[1]
Newlyweds Jenni (Peggy Webber) and Eric (John Hudson) move into Eric's palatial country home. Jenni is Eric's second wife; his first wife Marion died when she accidentally slipped and hit her head on the edge of a decorative pond on the estate. At the home they meet Eric's friends, the Reverend Snow (Russ Conway) and his wife (Toni Johnson), as well as Mickey (Alex Nicol), the developmentally disabled gardener. Eric privately mentions to the Snows that Jenni spent time in an asylum following the sudden death of both her parents, and Mrs. Snow reveals that Jenni is very wealthy.
Jenni is disturbed both by Mickey's belief that Marion's ghost wanders the estate and by Marion's self-portrait inside the house, which Jenni believes resembles her mother. When she begins to hear unexplained screaming noises and see skulls around her house, she believes that Marion is haunting her. Though Eric speculates to Jenni that Mickey, who was a childhood friend of Marion and thus dislikes Jenni, may be behind the trickery, Jenni worries that she is going insane. Eric then suggests to remove Marion's self-portrait from the home. Eric and Jenni take the painting outside and burn it. While they clean up the remains of the painting, a skull emerges from the ashes. While Jenni panics at the sight of the skull, Eric denies that the skull is there. Jenni faints and Eric withdraws the skull and hides it, revealing that he was responsible for the trickery all along in an effort to get hold of her wealth.
Believing she has finally lost her sanity, Jenni resolves to be committed. She tells Eric that the entire property will be meticulously searched for the skull as a last resort. Before Eric can retrieve it, Mickey secretly steals the skull and brings it to the Reverend, revealing Eric's plans. That night, Eric prepares to murder Jenni and stage it as a suicide. Jenni sees Marion's ghost in Mickey's greenhouse and flees back to the house. When she enters, Eric begins throttling her. The ghost then appears and chases Eric outside and about the property; it finally corners and attacks him, drowning him in the decorative pond.
After Jenni regains consciousness, the Snows arrive. Mrs. Snow comforts a hysterical Jenni and the Reverend discovers Eric's body in the pond. Some undisclosed time later, Jenni and the Snows depart from the house. Reverend Snow declares whether or not Marion's death was an accident will remain a mystery.
纪录片比电影更好看。前面的计划优于后面一场又一场的比赛。
虽然老洪的电影传统就是说金敏喜好漂亮，看多少次还觉得，啊她好美。
8分#抛开打人事件，威尔值得一座奥斯卡！话说这个造型动作表情真的是神还原～故事拍的前半段要更出色些，聚焦大威没有对小威的故事展开其实有些遗憾
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
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。
will smith演的不错，best picture是指定拿不到了吧。比起往年的I tonya，既没有体育精神，也没有人性深度，父亲的成功学视角非常无聊，还不如从大威小威视角来拍。
要说他创造了什么新的、独特的电影语言，或者在探索电影的形式上贡献了真正的实验性价值，那也就算了，问题是如果要认真横纵向比较，洪也并没有。So is it really fair that Berlinale gives him credit every year?
了不起的爸爸和这两个女儿啊。好担心她输虽然输了但也是赢得了人生。黑人也是挺惨的。还好上帝派另外的恶人干掉了那个恶人，否则后果不堪设想。忍忍，不骄不躁。
4、比赛部分不够扣人心弦；
又是一部披着体育传记外皮的黑人电影，就正儿八经的拍一部正常的电影不行吗，为了得奖必须要往政治正确上靠吗？
平庸的冲奖剧本，史皇在《当幸福来敲门》的时候已经是这个高度了，现在才想起来夸他是不是太迟了。小演员们不错
比赛确实很激动人心，但是爹的形象还是让人恶心
这简直是。。。
我更喜欢二女儿，她更多的是凭借自己的主动去发光。
有点太梦幻了
AMC Hoffman Center | 同场的几乎都是黑人，威尔史密斯演的真好，大小威之间的sisterhood真的让人羡慕，最喜欢的是母亲在厨房的那段戏：如果不是两个女儿我早走了！（大概是这样。可见两姐妹的父亲有多爹味。
2.5
三星半，同一个题目，更想去看爸爸的单人纪录片。不是演员表演问题，大概在剧本重心设计上。
he did it again❤️🔥 金敏喜在電影院看她在戲中所飾演的角色在電影院看她所飾演的角色的電影首映
角度选得好，群像塑造得好，落点也落得好。当然，故事的参考价值是相当有限的。稍微了解竞技体育的人都知道，在什么计划面前，最终比拼的都是运动员自身的天赋。史皇终于放下了自己精英的样子，也贡献了堪称自己生涯最佳的表演。
