This film shows the predetermination of society in the 1970's of men being the 'better' sex, and the struggle for equal pay in sports for women and men. This was a big deal, this tennis match. Billie Jean King butted heads with established rules of society, and proved her point. She did this at a time that was needed. She was a great athlete, and paved a path of respect for women in sports. I enjoyed seeing a small part of the inside of the private lives of Bobby Riggs and BJK. This film has led me to read more about the lives of these two competitors. I truly enjoyed this film. You have the story and the actors. There are no cell phones or text messages. I can't believe how good Emma Stone is. Steve Carell is equally wonderful, (he keeps surprising me as he gets older,) and the supporting cast is very good. Real true to the 1970's culture and times.
