Also, IMo, the reason she screams 'Come on' and smiles at the end is because she says during the movie 'I just wanna see some good f***ing tennis' and it just happened.
I figured her true love was tennis neither of the boys. The boys love were each other and their drive to compete against one another. So they all got a happy run in that last match.

I loved this movie a lot. Also feel like fifteen years ago the ONLY focus would have been how unlikeable Tashi was. It's so great that everyone can play complex morally difficult characters with a lot more respect given to the process.
Honestly, the movie should've focused on that more. They should've put more emphasis on how her calling the girl she beat a sore loser and a racist bitch was her projecting her flaws on someone else, because she ultimately becomes the sore loser, via her injury, and a racist bitch by manipulating these "white boys" that she barely sees as human..
?! The entire planet could have seen 15 years ago AND today, that Art was almost Iago-like in his envious, sinister machinations against Patrick so that he (Art) could be with Tashi with whom he is in love. Art lies to both Patrick and Tashi about each other to try to drive a wedge between them so he can (eventually) have her. And it works. They fight and because they fight she is so upset it affects her footwork during her match and she is injured. Badly. To the point where she can never play professionally. Art kind of redeems himself by marrying her and loving her and fathering a child with her whom he loves and cares for and by giving his all in tennis for her which makes him a Hall of Fame multiple Major Champion with the very lucrative sponsorship deals that come with it. They are independently very wealthy people. With the foundation that Patrick envisioned for Tashi at the beginning of the film. At the end of that final match they all get what they want. To have pulled the very best from themselves and each other.
Something i havent seen anyone comment on is that Tashi definetly palnned to encounter Pat in the tournament just as he called it. When she texts him to meet him at night she pulls up a white tshirt. The same tshirt Pat was wearing when he went to see art and tashi at Standford. When they got intro the fight Tashi took his tshirt and thats why he has to wear the I Told Ya shirt. I would find it very hard to believe if it was a coincidence.
Tashi didn’t actually meant that she is going to leave Art if he doesn’t win the game. she said that sarcastically because he was surprised that she didn’t have much of a response to his announcement. The full line is something like: “If you don’t win tomorrow I’ll leave you, is that what you want to hear?”.
Exactly! Glad someone else sees that. She wanted to get him motivated, and what else can do that other than Tashi potentially leaving him. I don't think Tashi would even need reasoning to leave Art or anybody, she gives off the energy that she would do it regardless if she wanted. Also, she wouldn't ask Patrick to loss the match if she wanted to give Art the reason for her to leave him.
yes, right before he litterally said I want you to respond as a coach, and that's when she changes her demeanor and answer and says that, it was clear in that context that that was what he was asking of her and she delivered
But deep down he knew what she was saying had truth in it. And she knew it too. She is like a tennis ball. She would have hopped on to Patrick after Art left his tennis career
This movie was an incredible experience in the theater. The audience in my theater was hooked! The gasps, the “don’t do it’s” yelled in the theater (hate talkers in a theater but I didn’t mind bc we all were into the movie) and that score!!!! Everything is done on purpose with the script! Definitely one of the best scripts in a while. And the leads… just a sexy movie!😍😍
I love that Zendaya has been so vocal this press run regarding each character's intentions in the film. She's not defending anybody and really getting in there with what she believes the film is saying. It's refreshing to see how involved she can be.
The thing for me with this movie is that even though Tashi is theoretically the main character (or at least that's how it was marketed), it doesn't really feel like it. Very little of her backstory or personality or really much else are made explicit. It almost feels like she's a prop in Art and Patrick's story, which doesn't really feel fair to her. Maybe that's the point but I just feel like her character could've been so much more.
Thank you thank you thank you. I thought the exact same thing. I came for Zendaya and was not happy that she felt more like an idol to be gazed upon than a person to delve into.
I was thinking that halfway through the movie - that she was the trophy they were fighting over - they sqeaked by IMO because she had two alone scenes and was a power player vs. the boys in every scene but I did feel unsure near the middle section.
That was the whole point though. The movie itself is a tennis match. The back and forth between the boys, and Tashi herself acting as a spectator and the trophy. It was marketed focusing on Zendaya because she’s Zendaya lol but I loved having her not be the sole focus of the entire movie. She is important in every scene, even those she isn’t directly on screen for. She is the driving force behind all of the decisions and fights and moves the boys make, while still allowing herself to sit back and watch. She doesn’t care about either of them, she doesn’t want to end up with either of them. Her true love is tennis, and they are putting on a great match for her. If they had given more info about her backstory it would’ve been unnecessary imo, what do we need to know? She’s a top tennis player that had dedicated her life to the sport, decided not to go pro to pursue an education, just to be injured and unable to continue playing at that level anyway. She said in the beginning tennis is a relationship ( the only one she cares about) and all she wants is to watch a good match. I don’t think any more of her backstory is needed outside of tennis since the whole story is about tennis. We also don’t know much about the boys outside of tennis, even their friendship started at a training/boarding school for the sport. The movie gave just enough away to keep on theme with the match, if it delved too deep into anyone’s past it, to me, would feel crowded and out of place. We don’t need to know why these people act the way they do, they all suck and that’s the point. But you don’t have to be a good person to put on a good show, again leading back to the point of the movie being that the movie itself is a tennis match.
I think that they gave enough nuggets to humanise her. We see that from the beginning, she takes her family along for the ride and her parents are at her celebratory ceremony. We see that before her dad died, he was very protective and that since he passed, she has her mom with her to help care for her child, with whom she's very tender. We see that she's a disciplined, astute businesswoman who built her husband's career, etc. If you look beyond superficial analysis of the plot, there's enough meat in her backstory to show how her talent and drive transformed her family- in good and bad ways, and created their success.
@@pashpashe maybe thats what they were going for!... Bcz in life too when you are infatuated with a person.. Like you idolize them you dont look so deep abt them... Like "why do you like or love them" ..the ans would be just coz! Or they look good.. Or play good... Or good at something....you want that person to be urs..!.. Same with art.! He looks at her he wants her... At all costs....! With patrick tashi might have had a meaningful relationship bcz she really did like him a lot bcz it messed her so much!... But they would be toxic to eachother too in someway!... Phewwww.! 😅😅😅
As "hetero" as they're presented, I always thought there's something beyond Art and Pat. It's like the director wanted to showcase it but he's attempting to make it as lowkey as possible. I always thought Art was a closeted character, kinda see it with his body language on certain scenes and also whenever he interacted with Pat. While Pat is certainly more tease-much comfortable and open. There was also a scene where they have a weird momentum where Pat was eating a banana which i thought would be an indicator abt Art or Pat's sexuality. The tension was obviously electric to the point where their chemistry outshined whatever any of the two had with Tashi. The churro and the sauna scene especially, the tension was amazing.
I mean to be fair this is a Luca Guadanino film so I wouldn’t put it past him. He has this very subtle yet masterful way of showing the many layers and avenues that could be explored without actually delving into them. He did it with that hbo max show a while back and even in call me by your name, as much as ppl shit on his work I think it takes a very complex individual to notice and understand that Luca makes art (no pun intended)
The writer of the script is hetero and is married to a female scriptwriter himself. He did NOT have that bedroom scene in his original script when innocent Zendaya and Mike and Josh first signed on. Luca, the gay director, had the scriptwriter "go back" and stupidly put that part on the bed with the 3 of them in the scene, nearly ruining the movie. The trailers make it even worse by Pretending there's a sordid sex scene, keeping many of Zendaya's fans AWAY - particularly her million of fans from her DISNEY days. I'm a live and let live kind of person. But if a gay director takes ALL the LEAD straight characters and decides to make them ALL have "gay" undertones, that's a problem. It is unrealistic to have men so enamored of each other and passionately kissing on a bed one minute to then turn on a dime and passionately go after a beautiful woman. One-upping each other (Art even dishonestly and sneakily and "snake-like" ) till one of them, Art, gets to marry her and impregnate her and have a family with her and become wildly successful - even legendary- because of her. Luca says "all the points on the love triangle" allegedly "have to touch." No, they don't. That is just some sordid mess. They didn't touch in "Hunger Games." Peta and Gale are not the least bit romantically interested in each other. The Hunger Games trilogy made Billions of dollars. All the points of the triangle did NOT touch in the Twilight series, either. Edward and Jacob do NOT "want" each other at ALL. They both want Bella full stop. Luca nearly ruined this film. If a gay person is gay then he's gay. It's unrealistic and exasperating, though, to watch a gay person PRETEND everyone Else is allegedly gay or "must" have gay "undertones." In film that is a Disastrous take. Many of Zendaya's most diehard fans stayed away from this film in DROVES. In fact, Luca may have COST her fans' devotion. Particularly those who saw the sordid looking trailers which deliberately, evilly made it Appear that "something untoward and more UNwholesome" happened on that bed between the 3 of them when it did NOT. SMH It seemed almost a deliberate attempt to sabotage the film to evilly try to keep Zendaya's film from being successful. And giving it "other" unwholesome content via language, naked men in locker room, to make it "earn" an "R" rating cut out droves of potential moviegoers, too. Luca in trying to drive "gayness" cost himself and his fellow producers on this film, many MILLIONS of dollars. CHALLENGERS has great acting, cinematography, and music. Too bad many people who would have seen it but for certain Unwholesome elements - won't. Luca is a good director. But he should have left Justin's script ALONE. When he gets a script about gay people he can go to town with it. Justin's writing one called "Queer." for Luca now. He should satisfy himself with that and other scripts like it - instead of unrealistically pretending the whole world is gay. There could have been a gay friend written into the CHALLENGERS script if he HAD to see that. Making all the leads "fluid" was totally Unrealistic, exasperating, and depressing. I hate that Zendaya has almost gotten typecast with this nonsense. She's hetero in real life. Let her have SOME roles in which she is fully hetero onscreen with a hetero love interest as well.
@@sieraclayton1503 too many words for saying "The script is ruined because ITS WOKE". Dude, if you want a normal love triangle go and watch any single other movie in the world. The whole point about this movie is about exploring this idea of making an ACTUAL love triangle and the queerness is integral to the plot. If YOU don't like it, there's plenty of movies out there for you to watch. But pretending like somehow the polyamory is a deterrent to the movie when it's in fact LITERALLY what sets it apart from the others is dumb as hell.
@@sieraclayton1503And since when does a movie need to strive for "realism" to be good? And why is it that we care so much about realism and accuracy only when it comes to queer characters. It seems like yall hold up queer characters to a much higher standard and anything you take as a flaw you use it as a scapegoat in order to justify your biases
@@sieraclayton1503 Also, the film is doing well? I really don't understand why you're going for this "go woke go broke" narrative when it doesn't even fit. And in fact most of the reason it even generated some kind of buzz is the reasons you think "break" this movie
I was mostly surprised at the role Zendaya took, she's been lowkey pigeonholed as the troubled but sympathetic cool girl, even Rue ehonhas done bad things there was still this feeling of "feel bad for her" in the writing, in Dune she's a jaded cynical character, but still very very much sympathetic; Tashi is softened by her daughter, but all that aside she has moments ofnheing just downright unlikeable and ruthless beyond feeling bad for her I want to see her in a role that goes all the way....like i want to see if she can play someone just downright all the way ugly and irredeemable
?!Why?! Tom Hanks, a white MAN, played good guys for DECADES. Why can't a black GIRL?! The vast majority of Zendaya's true fans since her DISNEY Days HATE that she is in this Unwholesome mess. Particularly since this is her First Major role in a Major Motion Picture. They wouldn't have done this to a young Sandra Bullock. Seems racist. CHALLENGERS has great acting, wonderful cinematography, and music, as the site creator says. Just wish it was a more wholesome vehicle for wonderful Zendaya. She deserves that.
@@sieraclayton1503 ....I can't tell if you are for real or a troll So I'm just gonna say this, and dip out; Zendaya has showed limited range in her acting career, and being someone with an ugly soul shows her abilities There have been several black girls, dark skinned black girls too, that have played sweet, funny, wholesome characters in movies, so I don't think Zendaya is gonna set anyone back 🙄 saying this as a light skinned girl who is biracial like Zendaya is
@sieraclayton1503 the person commented that because they (and a lot of us) want to see zendaya push herself to new ranges of acting, this is not racist in any way whatsoever. sticking to one type of role your entire career would never allow her to go to new heights in her acting abilities
Tashi made Art from just a good tennis player to the best as coach,so she needed to be ruthless and competitive . Eventually,she make everything she could to give motivation,confidence and passion to a depressive man who was seeking her approval like child
Yea the way i saw it was in the beginning she said they didnt understand tennis for her it was a conversation it felt like true love and in the end that final set was them finally understanding tennis and in the end when they hug and she screams was her recognizing they finally felt what she felt when she played and she stated it clearly u think i care about who loves me it was never about that it was always about that feeling on the court
The girl getting injured just like Tashi is just mwah chef’snkiss foreshadowing! Or maybe its not foreshadowing but it was such a small detail that represents so much and I completely brushed it off!
Yeah I somehow didn’t make the connection. I was more focused on the fact that they were both thinking about the same girl. The way he mentions her injury as just a brief side comment made me think it was meant to be a little funny aside for the audience or something. It always gets a little laugh in the theater.
The director had us all on the edge of our seats, and just like the audience in the movie, we were watching a great tennis match (the 'tennis' was the relationship as well as the actual sport/Art and Patrick going back and forth)!
I dont think Art has won at the end, they hadn't finished the tie break. I think the ending is exactly what you say, it's come full circle. Tashi might just be relieved as she isn't controlling them anymore. It's an open ending, the best films often are!
yes you're exactly right, its been confirmed in an article that Art only won that point but not the match as a whole! (meant to say Art lost the point)
@@myytchanneldinakoha8498 I meant to say Art would have 'lost' the point and Patrick would have the advantage in the tie breaker. But according to Vulture, "In tennis, you’re not ever allowed to touch the net. Even if you smash a clear winner, and your racket or body touches the net on the follow-through, you lose the point." so I do believe its safe to say that Art would have lost the point.
idk if I misinterpreted it but there’s this scene while he plays against Art where it zooms in at Patrick’s inner arm and I took it as he’s an addict for some reason and that’s why his parents cut him off but idk anyone lmk if I’m wrong if you know what shot im talking about
The arm ‘bruises ‘ looked indicative of injury and not puncture wounds (addict wounds are reddish bumps and pin mark size ) . Whenever I commuted on downtown SF years ago , the addicts wounds were needle stick pin marks ..sometimes they turned purple and red with infection. I watched a hell of a lot of intervention 🤣
The boys wearing the wigs is likely a wig test for when they were younger. Basically both of them were wearing wigs pre-2019. There’s a photo that someone took of the hair and makeup guides for Josh which indicates wigs for his younger looks. In the clip from the video diary, Mike is wearing his Stanford red kit with his “older self” hair under the hat.
A movie about a throuple getting back together. I like to think Art wins the open, retires after, then Tashi and himself become Patrick's manager/coach. Happy for those little freaks 😊
Geeky science fact for you - ATP is also the molecule that provides energy to drive and support many processes in living cells....you can look at the three of them as a cell. Also the ending i think goes back to their first meeting where for a few minutes they (tashi and the other player who she screams at end) is a pure connection and meeting of minds/souls completing each other. thats why she screams finally they are all connecting as one....great film. sexy af.
This movie did things that I used to beg other movies to do, more fun, a dive in a emotional mess, more possibilities explored than I expected, I love it all
You’re so talented I loved hearing your thoughts!! And to anyone suspecting Patrick’s bruising is from drugs, totally get it BUT on 2nd watch I saw how she grabbed his arm in the car when they were arguing. It’s a “remember last night Tashi?!” Soo hard to decide what we think really happened after the ending
I think nominations for editing, score and sound are guaranteed. Then likely original screenplay, and then maaaybe and an acting nomination for one of the leads.
I wonder how many times Tashi has “slept” with the competition, it could be just a coincidence, but I think that the fact that she didn’t take off her ring to meet with Patrick is saying something…the interaction she has Art before she does it again only solidifies this thought. They are the real life manifestations of a tennis match, Tashi is the ball.
Man, who are you! such a great way of editing, you say ALL the details of movie, and extra videos of them - thanks a lot! I am lucky to find ur video! Subscribed!
Weirdly enough, Patrick and Art felt more into each than anything else. At some point, i thought that they'd become a couple in this movie (especially the end)
I liked this but some of the editing was crazy to me and the music editing… i bet it was all purposeful but it was jarring at times. Loved the friendship between the guys that could have been amazing i think if they had more of a romance blossoming alongside tashi and her manipulation and intensity
22:35 ahhhhhhh the recommendations are stellar!! Like I was OBSESSED with both at different periods of my life and now Challengers 😅 fantastic breakdown, love always the lil bits of script that maybe aren’t apparent when you see it first go around. So fascinating
Whoa whoa whoa, okay, hold up... I'm 20 seconds in and I am already disappointed at how underrated your "everything she wore was causing a racket" line was. 😂
The movie was good enough to me. It was jumping around a bit much. When you think it will end it does not which is good for it, but when it ends I wanted it to be longer. Also why was there a random windstorm in New Rochelle? There was no rain or lightning. I guess cause of The Sound nearby and for storytelling. The wind has things to say in the story. The wind says how rocky things are getting in it. I think that is pretty neat.
I watched the whole movie on the edge of my seat and then that ending killed the momentum for me. My best friend was like well is it a part two, I was like it’s an artsy ending this is the ending they wanted to give us so no 😅. I loved your breakdown. I left the theatre a tortured soul and now my soul is less tortured. 😂
A movie where nobody gets free, nobody gets over him or herself, nobody grows up -- sticky, clingey, cringeworthy, especially in the sense that nobody here approaches the personal excellence that actual champions are made of.
hear me out but that’s why none of them are champions fr? tashi had the physical qualities to get there and even the mental fortitude and i’m certain she would’ve been number one itw if she wasn’t hurt but we get to see the underlying complexity caused by hyper independence and reliance at the same time. tennis was her drug and she was an addict. she never truly saw the consequences of adultery or manipulation as worse than not being around tennis. patrick was just too lazy to make it big and art never even had a passion for it altogether he just was a simp that did what his wife wanted. like he seemed genuinely confused that after doing all that work to take her from patrick that he actually had to live up to what she wanted in a person after that. most people know he’s not a great player because he requires a level of desperation to even want to play
I loved and lived this film in spirit . The dialogue , so brutal and vicious , yet the chemistry between the thruple so intense and endearing . I used to believe you could never love someone after calling them out , ripping them to shreds , and down to bare bones , their essence .. but I found love , I ripped it to shreds, and found an amazing , forgiving , beautiful man waiting under all the onion peels . This movie gave me those vibes too
My only issue with this movie was the “theme” music, the techno/house theme that kept playing, was misused in some scenes and didn’t transition scenes properly. When it played in the sauna scene I was like: okay, enough!
hahaha! I watched the movie on a free movie website and I just thought the weird music was because it was pirated 😂😂 I can't believe it was actually in the movie lmaoo. Besides that though I enjoyed it!
I think the music resembles the Tennis or at least when their mind go there. Thats why It's always cutting off so weird and in the end during the intense match we hear it completely because thats what Tashi was talking about "seeing some fucking good tennis" But idk about the children choir
@@Isabelle-hv6ny oh absolutely! It’s for that reason, it’s just questionable why those songs and the meaning/purpose/intent etc . Like why did they pick THOSE songs , since clearly they were chosen for specific moments and there was a pattern
I mean, the daughter COULD be Patrick's. The Atlanta rendezvous happens in 2011, and "present time" in the New Rochelle scenes is 2019. The daughter could reasonably be 7 to 8 years old.
14:12 but didn’t she say she’ll leave him because that’s ’what he needs to hear’ to get him to play well? Everything she said before contradicts that line
We actually don't know who's the winner because it doesn't matter. Tashi is excited because she knows that Art's spark for tennis was just reignited again by Patrick.
The ending was really confusing like she cheated on her husband and then told his best friend I want you to lose just to save his ego I'm guessing but does that make it any better because she cheated like make it make sense 😂😂

Love Kirsten Dunst though 💛 This Challengers review was phenomenal. Going in my favorites folder 😘
Wild writing on YOUR script, you did good, but it sounds that this movie is too sublimely obfuscated that it became something that won’t be etched in memory. But in meme-ory. Just a silly run on sentence,Silly run on sentence “type beat”. I will always be appreciative passion of details! Keep on keeping on
Also, IMo, the reason she screams 'Come on' and smiles at the end is because she says during the movie 'I just wanna see some good f***ing tennis' and it just happened.

The thing for me with this movie is that even though Tashi is theoretically the main character (or at least that's how it was marketed), it doesn't really feel like it. Very little of her backstory or personality or really much else are made explicit. It almost feels like she's a prop in Art and Patrick's story, which doesn't really feel fair to her. Maybe that's the point but I just feel like her character could've been so much more.
Thank you thank you thank you. I thought the exact same thing. I came for Zendaya and was not happy that she felt more like an idol to be gazed upon than a person to delve into.
I was thinking that halfway through the movie - that she was the trophy they were fighting over - they sqeaked by IMO because she had two alone scenes and was a power player vs. the boys in every scene but I did feel unsure near the middle section.
That was the whole point though. The movie itself is a tennis match. The back and forth between the boys, and Tashi herself acting as a spectator and the trophy. It was marketed focusing on Zendaya because she’s Zendaya lol but I loved having her not be the sole focus of the entire movie. She is important in every scene, even those she isn’t directly on screen for. She is the driving force behind all of the decisions and fights and moves the boys make, while still allowing herself to sit back and watch. She doesn’t care about either of them, she doesn’t want to end up with either of them. Her true love is tennis, and they are putting on a great match for her. If they had given more info about her backstory it would’ve been unnecessary imo, what do we need to know? She’s a top tennis player that had dedicated her life to the sport, decided not to go pro to pursue an education, just to be injured and unable to continue playing at that level anyway. She said in the beginning tennis is a relationship ( the only one she cares about) and all she wants is to watch a good match. I don’t think any more of her backstory is needed outside of tennis since the whole story is about tennis. We also don’t know much about the boys outside of tennis, even their friendship started at a training/boarding school for the sport. The movie gave just enough away to keep on theme with the match, if it delved too deep into anyone’s past it, to me, would feel crowded and out of place. We don’t need to know why these people act the way they do, they all suck and that’s the point. But you don’t have to be a good person to put on a good show, again leading back to the point of the movie being that the movie itself is a tennis match.
I think that they gave enough nuggets to humanise her. We see that from the beginning, she takes her family along for the ride and her parents are at her celebratory ceremony. We see that before her dad died, he was very protective and that since he passed, she has her mom with her to help care for her child, with whom she's very tender. We see that she's a disciplined, astute businesswoman who built her husband's career, etc.
If you look beyond superficial analysis of the plot, there's enough meat in her backstory to show how her talent and drive transformed her family- in good and bad ways, and created their success.
@@pashpashe maybe thats what they were going for!... Bcz in life too when you are infatuated with a person.. Like you idolize them you dont look so deep abt them... Like "why do you like or love them" ..the ans would be just coz! Or they look good.. Or play good... Or good at something....you want that person to be urs..!.. Same with art.! He looks at her he wants her... At all costs....! With patrick tashi might have had a meaningful relationship bcz she really did like him a lot bcz it messed her so much!... But they would be toxic to eachother too in someway!... Phewwww.! 😅😅😅
As "hetero" as they're presented, I always thought there's something beyond Art and Pat. It's like the director wanted to showcase it but he's attempting to make it as lowkey as possible. I always thought Art was a closeted character, kinda see it with his body language on certain scenes and also whenever he interacted with Pat. While Pat is certainly more tease-much comfortable and open. There was also a scene where they have a weird momentum where Pat was eating a banana which i thought would be an indicator abt Art or Pat's sexuality. The tension was obviously electric to the point where their chemistry outshined whatever any of the two had with Tashi. The churro and the sauna scene especially, the tension was amazing.
I mean to be fair this is a Luca Guadanino film so I wouldn’t put it past him. He has this very subtle yet masterful way of showing the many layers and avenues that could be explored without actually delving into them. He did it with that hbo max show a while back and even in call me by your name, as much as ppl shit on his work I think it takes a very complex individual to notice and understand that Luca makes art (no pun intended)
The writer of the script is hetero and is married to a female scriptwriter himself. He did NOT have that bedroom scene in his original script when innocent Zendaya and Mike and Josh first signed on. Luca, the gay director, had the scriptwriter "go back" and stupidly put that part on the bed with the 3 of them in the scene, nearly ruining the movie. The trailers make it even worse by Pretending there's a sordid sex scene, keeping many of Zendaya's fans AWAY - particularly her million of fans from her DISNEY days.
I'm a live and let live kind of person. But if a gay director takes ALL the LEAD straight characters and decides to make them ALL have "gay" undertones, that's a problem. It is unrealistic to have men so enamored of each other and passionately kissing on a bed one minute to then turn on a dime and passionately go after a beautiful woman. One-upping each other (Art even dishonestly and sneakily and "snake-like" ) till one of them, Art, gets to marry her and impregnate her and have a family with her and become wildly successful - even legendary- because of her.
Luca says "all the points on the love triangle" allegedly "have to touch." No, they don't. That is just some sordid mess. They didn't touch in "Hunger Games." Peta and Gale are not the least bit romantically interested in each other. The Hunger Games trilogy made Billions of dollars. All the points of the triangle did NOT touch in the Twilight series, either. Edward and Jacob do NOT "want" each other at ALL. They both want Bella full stop. Luca nearly ruined this film. If a gay person is gay then he's gay. It's unrealistic and exasperating, though, to watch a gay person PRETEND everyone Else is allegedly gay or "must" have gay "undertones." In film that is a Disastrous take. Many of Zendaya's most diehard fans stayed away from this film in DROVES. In fact, Luca may have COST her fans' devotion. Particularly those who saw the sordid looking trailers which deliberately, evilly made it Appear that "something untoward and more UNwholesome" happened on that bed between the 3 of them when it did NOT. SMH
It seemed almost a deliberate attempt to sabotage the film to evilly try to keep Zendaya's film from being successful. And giving it "other" unwholesome content via language, naked men in locker room, to make it "earn" an "R" rating cut out droves of potential moviegoers, too. Luca in trying to drive "gayness" cost himself and his fellow producers on this film, many MILLIONS of dollars. CHALLENGERS has great acting, cinematography, and music. Too bad many people who would have seen it but for certain Unwholesome elements - won't.
Luca is a good director. But he should have left Justin's script ALONE. When he gets a script about gay people he can go to town with it. Justin's writing one called "Queer." for Luca now. He should satisfy himself with that and other scripts like it - instead of unrealistically pretending the whole world is gay. There could have been a gay friend written into the CHALLENGERS script if he HAD to see that. Making all the leads "fluid" was totally Unrealistic, exasperating, and depressing. I hate that Zendaya has almost gotten typecast with this nonsense. She's hetero in real life. Let her have SOME roles in which she is fully hetero onscreen with a hetero love interest as well.
@@sieraclayton1503 too many words for saying "The script is ruined because ITS WOKE". Dude, if you want a normal love triangle go and watch any single other movie in the world. The whole point about this movie is about exploring this idea of making an ACTUAL love triangle and the queerness is integral to the plot. If YOU don't like it, there's plenty of movies out there for you to watch. But pretending like somehow the polyamory is a deterrent to the movie when it's in fact LITERALLY what sets it apart from the others is dumb as hell.
@@sieraclayton1503And since when does a movie need to strive for "realism" to be good? And why is it that we care so much about realism and accuracy only when it comes to queer characters. It seems like yall hold up queer characters to a much higher standard and anything you take as a flaw you use it as a scapegoat in order to justify your biases
@@sieraclayton1503 Also, the film is doing well? I really don't understand why you're going for this "go woke go broke" narrative when it doesn't even fit. And in fact most of the reason it even generated some kind of buzz is the reasons you think "break" this movie
I was mostly surprised at the role Zendaya took, she's been lowkey pigeonholed as the troubled but sympathetic cool girl, even Rue ehonhas done bad things there was still this feeling of "feel bad for her" in the writing, in Dune she's a jaded cynical character, but still very very much sympathetic; Tashi is softened by her daughter, but all that aside she has moments ofnheing just downright unlikeable and ruthless beyond feeling bad for her
I want to see her in a role that goes all the way....like i want to see if she can play someone just downright all the way ugly and irredeemable
?!Why?! Tom Hanks, a white MAN, played good guys for DECADES. Why can't a black GIRL?! The vast majority of Zendaya's true fans since her DISNEY Days HATE that she is in this Unwholesome mess. Particularly since this is her First Major role in a Major Motion Picture. They wouldn't have done this to a young Sandra Bullock. Seems racist. CHALLENGERS has great acting, wonderful cinematography, and music, as the site creator says. Just wish it was a more wholesome vehicle for wonderful Zendaya. She deserves that.
@@sieraclayton1503 ....I can't tell if you are for real or a troll
So I'm just gonna say this, and dip out; Zendaya has showed limited range in her acting career, and being someone with an ugly soul shows her abilities
There have been several black girls, dark skinned black girls too, that have played sweet, funny, wholesome characters in movies, so I don't think Zendaya is gonna set anyone back 🙄 saying this as a light skinned girl who is biracial like Zendaya is
@@sieraclayton1503she does not want to be "wholesome" thats the whole point of doing this child stars should not be forced to be pg forever.
@sieraclayton1503 the person commented that because they (and a lot of us) want to see zendaya push herself to new ranges of acting, this is not racist in any way whatsoever. sticking to one type of role your entire career would never allow her to go to new heights in her acting abilities
Tashi made Art from just a good tennis player to the best as coach,so she needed to be ruthless and competitive .
Eventually,she make everything she could to give motivation,confidence and passion to a depressive man who was seeking her approval like child
This is the first movie I've watched where the love triangle is ACTUALLY A TRIANGLE
Yea the way i saw it was in the beginning she said they didnt understand tennis for her it was a conversation it felt like true love and in the end that final set was them finally understanding tennis and in the end when they hug and she screams was her recognizing they finally felt what she felt when she played and she stated it clearly u think i care about who loves me it was never about that it was always about that feeling on the court
The girl getting injured just like Tashi is just mwah chef’snkiss foreshadowing! Or maybe its not foreshadowing but it was such a small detail that represents so much and I completely brushed it off!
Yeah I somehow didn’t make the connection. I was more focused on the fact that they were both thinking about the same girl. The way he mentions her injury as just a brief side comment made me think it was meant to be a little funny aside for the audience or something. It always gets a little laugh in the theater.
The director had us all on the edge of our seats, and just like the audience in the movie, we were watching a great tennis match (the 'tennis' was the relationship as well as the actual sport/Art and Patrick going back and forth)!
I dont think Art has won at the end, they hadn't finished the tie break.
I think the ending is exactly what you say, it's come full circle. Tashi might just be relieved as she isn't controlling them anymore.
It's an open ending, the best films often are!
yes you're exactly right, its been confirmed in an article that Art only won that point but not the match as a whole! (meant to say Art lost the point)
@@ForTheLoveofFilmshe couldn’t have won that point either ‘cause it would be penalty for touching the net and crossing over.
@@myytchanneldinakoha8498 I meant to say Art would have 'lost' the point and Patrick would have the advantage in the tie breaker. But according to Vulture, "In tennis, you’re not ever allowed to touch the net. Even if you smash a clear winner, and your racket or body touches the net on the follow-through, you lose the point." so I do believe its safe to say that Art would have lost the point.
The ending is "Winner gets my number" again it feels like
idk if I misinterpreted it but there’s this scene while he plays against Art where it zooms in at Patrick’s inner arm and I took it as he’s an addict for some reason and that’s why his parents cut him off but idk anyone lmk if I’m wrong if you know what shot im talking about
I thought it would come up in the movie then I wondered if I imagined that scene xd
I think that his arm seemed to be injured due to his unconventional serve so it was in pain. Bc Tashi mentions his serve in the flashback.
The arm ‘bruises ‘ looked indicative of injury and not puncture wounds (addict wounds are reddish bumps and pin mark size ) . Whenever I commuted on downtown SF years ago , the addicts wounds were needle stick pin marks ..sometimes they turned purple and red with infection. I watched a hell of a lot of intervention 🤣
I like the thought that he has a bruise on his arm from donating plasma for more money
the writers confirmed it’s not from drug use, the bruise is from when tashi grabbed him the night before
The boys wearing the wigs is likely a wig test for when they were younger. Basically both of them were wearing wigs pre-2019. There’s a photo that someone took of the hair and makeup guides for Josh which indicates wigs for his younger looks. In the clip from the video diary, Mike is wearing his Stanford red kit with his “older self” hair under the hat.
The happy ending of this movie is them ending up as a poly relationship.
Yes!
Or the boys reconcile and end untether
Hollywood won’t be that progressive for another 5 years at least, let them discover feeld
The happy ending is the boys murdering her, then getting gay married
A movie about a throuple getting back together.
I like to think Art wins the open, retires after, then Tashi and himself become Patrick's manager/coach.
Happy for those little freaks 😊
Geeky science fact for you - ATP is also the molecule that provides energy to drive and support many processes in living cells....you can look at the three of them as a cell. Also the ending i think goes back to their first meeting where for a few minutes they (tashi and the other player who she screams at end) is a pure connection and meeting of minds/souls completing each other. thats why she screams finally they are all connecting as one....great film. sexy af.
THIS
This movie did things that I used to beg other movies to do, more fun, a dive in a emotional mess, more possibilities explored than I expected, I love it all
Bro this just blew my MIND
Patrick messing with his elbow was definitely bruising from when Tashi grabbed him in the car the night before
This might be your best LME so far
I’m just unhealthily parasocially proud of how far Mike Faist has come as an actor 🤧❤️
I felt that whiplash vibe
At the end of movie it seemed like she had an O from the build up
Edit: oh I was correct lol
Damn I almost had one too. I left the theater with shaky legs and I couldn't stop giggling
Luca movies grow on me with rewatches and I think this is the finest one (it's a great movie as it is)
Is he talking about pixar or something else
@@aliaun6755 the director
it's his best movie by far imo
Maybe the end is Art leaving Tashi, retiring and coaching Patrick
lmao no
Nahhh 😂
Lmao no. They both can't survive without Tashi. This movie is about a throuple y'all.
The only good possible outcome
In bed
You’re so talented I loved hearing your thoughts!! And to anyone suspecting Patrick’s bruising is from drugs, totally get it BUT on 2nd watch I saw how she grabbed his arm in the car when they were arguing. It’s a “remember last night Tashi?!” Soo hard to decide what we think really happened after the ending
blood orange playing during THAT scene rewired my brain chemistry
13:31 mistakes might not define a person but choices certainly do
Yeah, it also implies that you should forgive everything and i don't like or agree with that.
I agree with everything. you nailed every single one of my thoughts I had been waiting for a in-depth analysis video and you aced it
Crying due to your jokes are one after the other perfect 😢😢😢🎉🎉🎉🎉
I absolutely loved this movie and I hope The Academy doesn't sleep on it just because it is not a very oscary movie!
I think nominations for editing, score and sound are guaranteed. Then likely original screenplay, and then maaaybe and an acting nomination for one of the leads.
"started from the bottom and is still there" is wild 😅🤣🤣🤣
19:36 is sick work 😭
I wonder how many times Tashi has “slept” with the competition, it could be just a coincidence, but I think that the fact that she didn’t take off her ring to meet with Patrick is saying something…the interaction she has Art before she does it again only solidifies this thought.
They are the real life manifestations of a tennis match, Tashi is the ball.
Man, who are you! such a great way of editing, you say ALL the details of movie, and extra videos of them - thanks a lot! I am lucky to find ur video! Subscribed!
thanks for all the extra material! really good video, o'connor is just playing himself hahaha love his smile in this movie
Is he gay?
Weirdly enough, Patrick and Art felt more into each than anything else. At some point, i thought that they'd become a couple in this movie (especially the end)
Went to rewatch Closer (2004) for the same explosive dialogue after seeing this one.
Closer was such a movie!! Definitely gives me the same vibes with the complicated and toxic characters as well as the amazing dialogue.
I liked this but some of the editing was crazy to me and the music editing… i bet it was all purposeful but it was jarring at times. Loved the friendship between the guys that could have been amazing i think if they had more of a romance blossoming alongside tashi and her manipulation and intensity
7:07 Wimbleton is the best Tennis movie I've seen
I went in with moderate expectations, but was legitimately on the edge of my seat for the last half hour or so. Ended up being pretty good.
Being an extra on set for this was a blast too, shoutout to Boston 👏🏿
22:35 ahhhhhhh the recommendations are stellar!! Like I was OBSESSED with both at different periods of my life and now Challengers 😅 fantastic breakdown, love always the lil bits of script that maybe aren’t apparent when you see it first go around. So fascinating
I LOVED this movie. It was great! I just watched it and I could literally watch it again.
Whoa whoa whoa, okay, hold up... I'm 20 seconds in and I am already disappointed at how underrated your "everything she wore was causing a racket" line was. 😂
You’re the best film reviewer on RUclips and I swear by that!!!!
I love this movie so much. I cannot wait to see this movie again
I instantly subscribed bro, you’re so good at these reviews/explanations 😂👏🏽
The movie was good enough to me. It was jumping around a bit much. When you think it will end it does not which is good for it, but when it ends I wanted it to be longer. Also why was there a random windstorm in New Rochelle? There was no rain or lightning. I guess cause of The Sound nearby and for storytelling. The wind has things to say in the story. The wind says how rocky things are getting in it. I think that is pretty neat.
Bruh watching this with headphones, what the hell is chiming you have in the background playing.
I watched the whole movie on the edge of my seat and then that ending killed the momentum for me. My best friend was like well is it a part two, I was like it’s an artsy ending this is the ending they wanted to give us so no 😅. I loved your breakdown. I left the theatre a tortured soul and now my soul is less tortured. 😂
Wow, that was one of your best videos
The innuendo thoughout this script is awesomely appropriate
Dang the emotions I went through watching some of those scenes
The background music for this video is soo good!!
Great review. Had me laughing out loud. 😂
I cannot believe that the writer of this movie is the potion seller
Usually I don't really like his movies but this one is exception.
Great on the big screen where the entire audience felt the tension this movie creates together. This is what cinema is all about.
Pat looks like Troye sivan
A movie where nobody gets free, nobody gets over him or herself, nobody grows up -- sticky, clingey, cringeworthy, especially in the sense that nobody here approaches the personal excellence that actual champions are made of.
hear me out but that’s why none of them are champions fr? tashi had the physical qualities to get there and even the mental fortitude and i’m certain she would’ve been number one itw if she wasn’t hurt but we get to see the underlying complexity caused by hyper independence and reliance at the same time. tennis was her drug and she was an addict. she never truly saw the consequences of adultery or manipulation as worse than not being around tennis. patrick was just too lazy to make it big and art never even had a passion for it altogether he just was a simp that did what his wife wanted. like he seemed genuinely confused that after doing all that work to take her from patrick that he actually had to live up to what she wanted in a person after that. most people know he’s not a great player because he requires a level of desperation to even want to play
Not the really cold dorm room 😂😂
I loved and lived this film in spirit . The dialogue , so brutal and vicious , yet the chemistry between the thruple so intense and endearing . I used to believe you could never love someone after calling them out , ripping them to shreds , and down to bare bones , their essence .. but I found love , I ripped it to shreds, and found an amazing , forgiving , beautiful man waiting under all the onion peels . This movie gave me those vibes too
The happy ending is Art and Patrick leaving Tashi to be together
Is that Righteous Minds instrumental in the background?
My only issue with this movie was the “theme” music, the techno/house theme that kept playing, was misused in some scenes and didn’t transition scenes properly. When it played in the sauna scene I was like: okay, enough!
Yes the techno and then the children’s choir music !!!
hahaha! I watched the movie on a free movie website and I just thought the weird music was because it was pirated 😂😂 I can't believe it was actually in the movie lmaoo. Besides that though I enjoyed it!
I think the music resembles the Tennis or at least when their mind go there. Thats why It's always cutting off so weird and in the end during the intense match we hear it completely because thats what Tashi was talking about "seeing some fucking good tennis"
But idk about the children choir
@@Isabelle-hv6ny oh absolutely! It’s for that reason, it’s just questionable why those songs and the meaning/purpose/intent etc . Like why did they pick THOSE songs , since clearly they were chosen for specific moments and there was a pattern
one of the main reasons why i enjoyed this movie so much is because of the soundtracks lol 🤷♂
great upload, thanks. - i noticed the actor Josh O'Connor, who is a left handed, played tennis with his right hand. maybe the dude is ambidextrous.
I mean, the daughter COULD be Patrick's. The Atlanta rendezvous happens in 2011, and "present time" in the New Rochelle scenes is 2019. The daughter could reasonably be 7 to 8 years old.
She only looked about 5ish to me
I mean she looked about 5ish to me.
Did they just kiss in Atlanta? Or did they go all the way?
that girl definitely wasn’t 7 or 8, she was like 5
The wife screamed just as she did earlier. (winks)
the moment Patrick started acting more straight and grew a beard he became the villain 🤣🤣
14:12 but didn’t she say she’ll leave him because that’s ’what he needs to hear’ to get him to play well? Everything she said before contradicts that line
I love when you mentioned Newsies lol
movie and the let me explain were amazing. served LOL
We actually don't know who's the winner because it doesn't matter. Tashi is excited because she knows that Art's spark for tennis was just reignited again by Patrick.
The ending was really confusing like she cheated on her husband and then told his best friend I want you to lose just to save his ego I'm guessing but does that make it any better because she cheated like make it make sense 😂😂

@@LetMeExplain(No spoilers) Civil War's trailer was so misleading 🙄 But even for what it turned out to be it should have been better. Lack of character and world building really hurt it and I even got bored a few times 😬 That shouldn't happen in a movie called Civil War. I was disappointed.
Love Kirsten Dunst though 💛
This Challengers review was phenomenal. Going in my favorites folder 😘
Sounds like a 3 body problem
I see what you did there
I have to see it on the grounds that Mike Faist and Zendaya are in it!!
So basically, Tashi = Nora, Patrick = Haesong, Art = Arthur (didn't even try to change the name)
both movies are so fucking gross and ur movie really adds to that point
Brilliant & entertaining critique …
I like how when things get awkward they'd blast extremely loud techno music to try to cover it. Like the director is ashamed of the scene lol
lmaoo I was also thinking, why is the music so loud in this scene?!
Sometimes it was so loud I couldnt hear the dialogue. That was my only issue with the movie tbh.
It’s actually done because the awkward scenes are playing out like tennis matches as well. So he wanted it to play the exact same way those would
The pacing could have been A LOT more streamlined.
"very cold dorm room" lol.
10:48 omg they were wearing each other's clothes, they're even gayer that I thought, good for them
Wild writing on YOUR script, you did good, but it sounds that this movie is too sublimely obfuscated that it became something that won’t be etched in memory. But in meme-ory.
Just a silly run on sentence,Silly run on sentence “type beat”.
I will always be appreciative passion of details!
Keep on keeping on
This makes me wanna watch this again. I don't think I fully understood on the first watch. I may need to give it a second go.
fantastic retelling of the whole thing!
