King Richard Review - The Slap That Was Heard Around The World

Have you ever been slapped? Not just physically but also emotionally. A slap that will make you realize your mistakes or a slap that will inspire you to do your best and make you a better person. As we pinoys normally say “Sampal ng katotohanan”. If you are a parent, a child, or someone who wishes to accomplish something, you may feel as if you have been slapped in the face and will be forced to reassess the way you view things in life, especially your dreams or how you should discipline your children after watching this movie.

In this week’s episode, we will review a true-to-life inspiring movie, King Richard, which portrays the family of Serena Jameka Williams, an American professional tennis player who has been ranked singles world No. 1 by the Women's Tennis Association. Serena’s father, Richard Williams, played by none other than the Academy Awards’ best actor, Will Smith.
