He still doesn't go after the thing he desires, opting to follow someone else's desires. Being a tennis star is Tashi's dream, and because he doesn't want it, he's faltering.

    I don’t think any of them are explicitly the villain. They’re all antagonists AND allies to each other throughout the story in an attempt to achieve their own end goal. They’re each determined to reach it no matter what, but need to play the game differently to get there. And without that, they would be boring! The passion they have towards reaching their respective “happy endings” is what makes them compelling, realistic, and ultimately flawed. And the balance they place between love for eachother vs tennis is essential to why the match at the end is so cathartic bc they’re all FINALLY communicating their goals and their willingness to do anything to get there, just through tennis instead of words

    they refuse to acknowledge their complex feelings. after a second watch i think art’s heteronormativity is what gets in the way the most bc his jealousy/manipulation is what breaks up tashi and patrick and ultimately patrick and art. i even feel like patrick sleeps with tashi in the present timeline because art tells him to f off in the sauna. yes they’re all dysfunctional but it’s bc they all just belong together!!!!

    Art farted and that's why Patrick stared at him . Also they are sooo many parallels in this movie like 1. When Art spits out the gum into Tashi's hand. He use to do that with Patrick , 2. Art's serve coming back into play being the signal whenever Patrick sleeps with Tashi the night before and 3. When Patrick says that winning the Junior's could be a curse and look at Tashi and Patrick, they both end up not being the best at Tennis and then Art and Anna being the best and going on to win the US Open.

      Even after he did the gesture, I didn't actually get the meaning of the gesture and thought it was just him mimicking Art's signature move for no particular reason. It took me a good few seconds to cast my mind back and recall the significance of Patrick doing it earlier, which was when my jaw ended up hitting the ground

    I agree with you on the fight being inevitable. Art definitely was a little snake for what he did with literally trying to break up his best friends relationship. However, the fight happened because tashi couldn’t stop talking about tennis & critiquing patrick’s game while they were making out. Which then led to a bigger discussion about how tashi honestly didn’t want to be in some exclusive loving relationship but honestly rather have someone she could honestly just coach and just have sex with. tashi telling patrick that she didn’t see him as a peer didn’t help. they were going to fight eventually.

  • @codyconnolly5692

    I think the villain conversation is interesting especially considering Zendaya’s personal take on it. I mean that can attribute to her decisions in the role of tashi
    I don’t think there’s any true villain which is what makes the movie so great and rewatchable. it’s such a real and raw look at that special relationship between the 3 where at one point they all are villains because ultimately their relationship all together is toxic. but they’re all very passionate people, and it shows that they share the common bond of doing whatever it takes to get what they want.

    Absolutely loved your analysis. Oh boy, it was like those smirks between the boys at the end were saying "there you are", and in that moment it was just the two of them. They went back to being ice and fire, before Tashi, before everything.
    Just a note as a native Italian speaker: it's not Guada-niño but Guada-ñino. The ñ sound is right after the "da".

  • @angiebangie6372
    @angiebangie6372 Před 18 dny +13

    i anticipated that patrick was gonna use the serve tell as a message to art about what happened too and was gagged still when it happened. i had mixed feelings immediately i was like is this some nasty type of mind fucking? or is this him trying to be honest and open art’s eyes? yep he just loved art too much and had to show it to art in a context he would HAVE to listen to.
    i really do think that tashi’s quote about tennis being a relationship is so important. she’s brutal, aggressive, reckless, and fiery in her tennis playing and that carries into her connections to both boys cuz that’s how she loves. the boys’ relationships were towards each other as much as it was to tennis but i think their connection was WHY they could love tennis so much. that’s why patrick stops being good, that’s why art slowly stops wanting to play, it’s no longer alongside their best friend. yet after this moment, this strange honest intimacy on the court they always used to love each other on… the connection to tennis gets snapped back into place for them both. and that’s why tashi is so fucking delighted in the end. she finally saw some good tennis from them bc the court showed their relationship being healed and worked out right there in the moment and THAT mended their relationship to tennis.

    @popdiva3001 Před měsícem +24

    I think theyre all flawed and thats why they go so great together! On Art being the villain, I actually think Tashi and Patrick would have fought eventually. Patrick and Tashi fundamentally view tennis differently, for Tashi, everything is about Tennis and for Patrick, he's good at it and so he does it. Tashi couldn't be with anyone who didn't have a passion for tennis. With the addition of Art, this can mellow the inevitable sparks that would come between her and Patrick.

    ok but lowkeyyyyy 👀. so i watched this movie with my cousin, and SHE said that she felt that Art was lowkey the villain because of that scene with him and tashi in the hotel room. her thing is that she thinks he kind of manipulated tashi into saying that she would leave him if he lost to manipulate him into playing harder just to beat patrick. my cousin said that tashi didn’t look like she really wanted to say it, and that she actually does care about art a lot (obviously less than tennis, but u know), but she said it to give the man peace of mind. if she was REALLY gonna leave him if he lost, she wouldn’t have asked patrick to throw the game

    • @BadBloodwillout

  • @ncs2324
    @ncs2324 Před 28 dny +6

    I agree SO MUCH with your thoughts about what led to the fight!! Even if Art got under their skin, Tashi is obsessive and prideful about tennis and Patrick doesn’t back down, if the fight didn’t happen at that moment, I guarantee it still would’ve happened at some other point in the relationship. I don’t think any of them are innocent at all, and there’s no true villain in my opinion. But I will say Patrick and Tashi caught onto Art’s manipulation early on and he does outgrow some of that by the end (keyword some because he really gagged me during the sauna scene). Regardless all three of them are messy in their own ways!

    I loved this movie! ❤️ Boy do I think Art and Patrick had something before or felt something in the present, especially coming from Patrick, they had so much chemistry and in parts I definitely think they had more chemistry with each other than with Tashi. I do not think Art was the villain of the movie, he might've said some things to them when they were younger but Patrick and Tashi had their own problems. All Tashi wanted to do was talk about Tennis and give Patrick pointers, and Patrick didn't want her help. Patrick made the choice of not showing up to the tournament. Art had nothing to do there. I think all three characters did bad things throughout the movie but I feel like Art definitely is the least to blame. They all were really interesting characters! That ending tennis match had me on the edge of my seat, seeing Art win the match made me so happy. That embrace between them both was so cute. I loved Tashi's scream at the end because she finally saw some real Tennis being played again. They made her so proud!

    I looooved loved loved loved this film. The only thing that I wanted to see (though I dont necessarily think it was an important aspect that was missed) was a little bit more about Art and Tashi having a child. Like, when she tells Patrick she’s engaged she’s not really giving oh slay I’m engaged, so I just thought it would have been interesting to see her response to a pregnancy, especially since- had she never been injured- starting a family might not have been something she ever planned on doing as it may have impacted her tennis career. Even the few times we do see their child, Tashi is still putting tennis first. Idk just a little extra something I would have love to seem explored a little
