You will leave your mark here on this earth as a great woman.. ❤️
She has!
🤗
And YAASSSSS your mark as great woman is felt internationally and Universally!!! 🔥🔥🔥💫🌟💕
I just picked up a racket for the first time at 30 years old and I am now playing USTA and 5days a week of drills and pickup court time. Tennis truly changed my life !!
I'm like you but in my forties and started playing in the fall of 2020. Tennis saved me throughout the pandemic and now I can't imagine my life without this incredible sport ❤️
Congratulations Jami. Tennis is truly a sport for a lifetime. Enjoy your journey.
❤️
Congratulations. How long (years) after you started playing did you end up playing USTA?
Dear Venus, when you decide to retire eventually, please stay this way (through your channel) in touch with all of us. I am your fan since 2002 and I love to see you on court, but when your career on court ends, I would be grateful to hear your voice and see your smile this way. Love you Vee 🤩
Loved the movie 🥰 we need 'King Richard 2' carrying on from when the movie ended to you winning Wimbledon 👌🏽
I am so happy I saw the film. I was only a baby when Venus turned pro, and I only heard of Venus and Serena when I was.... I think around 8 years old. Two sisters taking the tennis world by storm! So I did a lot of reading about them, and really got to learn about them, and seeing this movie really got me to experience their upbringing and how they grew to success!
The movie was fantastic 🤔 maybe we can get a part 2 with a little bit more of Serena’s side of her starting her first matches and you both winning your first slams
I would love a sequel!
Ohh, Mr.Creative242!!! These girls were very young when their dad started their careers. It was a different time in America. You do not want to see or hear the reactions of how our country, truly, treated them. Also, a lot of videos have been cut over the years. At tourney introductions, they cut the nasty mean comments yelled out from the crowd. Also, stuff would happen to them while playing their sets. I am 75yrs old now, sometimes I would just turn the TV off. The worst of the worst was Indian Wells. However, the best of the best was when 18yr old Serena won and made her winning interview. That speech was completely cut out. I my goodness, I cried so hard for her. This young child stayed calm, commented nicely about their treatment of her. But, hears the kicker. She actually smiled looking out at the crowd and said I FORGIVE YOU!! She then ran crying to her family in the bleachers. That when I knew this girl would be someone great!!! If u know anyone that can pull up her winning speech, I would suggest you check it out. There was no reason for the powers that be to take away her comments, the child was a professional, back then! 😭😱😥
@@aejooh2815 the world needs to know when they been through so it can be changed n so they can truly value Venus & Serena
oh that would be SO dope. I wanted to see more of Serena. love the williams sisters
Who can deny that Oracene and Richard Williams accomplished more than any other coach in the history of tennis. What they did, influence the men's game and the women but also recreational tennis. Thank you Richard and Oracene and the whole Williams family for sharing this gift with us.
Venus, recently we watched the film for the 2nd time. It emotionally captivated us. It is well on its way toward being another Shawshank for us… that is, a film we’ll watch anytime it’s on television. It’s so inspiring to see 2 young Black girls strive for and achieve their dreams. Bravo!!! 🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥
honestly it was so good. Seeing that part of your family, how your dad molded you, but also how instrumental your mom was in both of your development. It was so inspirational. thank you for sharing with us.
Venus Williams KZhead channel is the channel I didn’t know I needed until now! Most of the pros don’t like to share tips, but you’re channel is amazing 🤩 I hope that you will continue to make more great videos that inspire me 🙏 😊
get to finally watch t movie ,definitely a classic ,i love it ,so many various aspects of this movie are beautiful ,i especially luv t way richard look out for his girls career wise, he didn't jump at the first offer when it was presented to venus play pro, he paced himself and finally the right offer n moment came ,truly a success story of focus,hard work,commitment,humility and patience .Absolutely love it .
A Star, a Goddess, a Queen---Venus! 😍🤩😍🤩
I can listen to you all day , you are so genuine and gentle, be well and stay well Ms. Venus.
Thankyou Venus , i actually sat and watched the whole movie , which is pretty rare for us these days , loved it , 👍🤙
I enjoy seeing you live with passion.
I LOVED that movie!! It totally left me wanting more. Your dad may not be perfect, but that man did his job and then some. So much respect for you all.
Man that movie was amazing. It was incredible. Your family's story is just an inspiration to soo many people. I have nothing but RESPECT for the Williams family. I Love You Venus Williams.
Venus, the movie was beautiful and I teared up watching the ending credits video. I watched you and Serena grow up on the tennis court and I'm so proud of you two. Your father was a prophet and your mom helped execute the mission ❤❤❤
I used to play tennis back in high school, but then life happened and I quit. I watched the movie in March for the first time and it moved me and inspired me so much that the next day I went to buy a racket and subscribe to tennis classes! It feels great to be back and I always question myself and wonder why I left it in the first place. Now, every time one of my friends or family members suggests watching a movie I ALWAYS recommend King Richard, which has left me to watch it six times now (and counting!!). I liked it that much. I always admired you and Serena, you both are among my favorite players and getting to see some background of your lives was amazing, so thank you for that gift!!
My wife and I never thought we could love you and Serena more than we already did. But after watching this movie and learning more about the intimate details of your journey, we feel closer to you and Serena, and we love you so much more. We love you for what you represent. Thank you, and please continue to inspire us.
That is awesome!
I train my son since 6 old, he is now 8 and winning some local ITF red ball tournaments for kids, now moved to orange ball, when I watched movie of course I found many similarities to how I train my son like using car parkings since we have no free courts like in USA, we can't use basket with balls since its not possible in parkings, asphalt is slippery and dangerous, often we play in granite surface which is also slippery, its also windy and sometimes we play under rain, there are whole lot of things that against us but we keep trying...
When I watch videos on KZhead, I rarely watch all the way through. But when it comes to Venus and Serena, I am transfixed and watch and listen to every word to the very end. I have little interest in tennis, but with these two, (these two!), I have watched almost all of their games all the way through. They are like assassins on that court. Genghis Khan has nothing on them. It is truly remarkable to watch…
so glad that you mentioned ✨Aunjanue Ellis, Venus. i could not stop watching her for one second. Aunjanue’s performance was just amazing - and very truthful - as Oracene.
Thank you Venus. I love the movie, very inspirational. That skin, That glow is absolutely beautiful.
Hello VENUS 👋 I AM SOOOO PROUD of you !
The movie was released for home viewing 3 weeks ago here in Japan. LOVED it.
I've seen the movie for at least 5 times 😍❤ and cried every single time. It is so emotional and inspiring 🥰
I loved the movie. My daughter was 2 when the movie came out. She was in front of the TV pretending to swing a racket when she saw the young ladies playing Serena and Venus. It was so cute. I wish I would have recorded it. We love Venus and Serena in this house. My daughter definitely knows when she sees Serena on tv..even in commercials. One thing regarding the movie: I wonder how it felt for the Williams family to see the young lady who played Yetunde on screen. I know it must have been bittersweet. I pray that she is resting peacefully.
The movie should have won best picture. I was so moved by how Will Smith played your dad. My favorite part of the movie was when he talks to Serena at the tennis court and tells her that she will be the "best that ever was." "The Greatest of all Time" I had tears in my eyes after that scene. It was amazing to see how your dad had so much faith in his plan for the both of you to succeed and become the best you could be. Both of you are such role models and inspirations. I like watching behind the scenes when you, Isha and Serena met the kids. All of you were so funny. BTW, York, Brian Butts and Byron were not into you girls? They didnt know what they were missing. Love you, Venus! 😘😘
What a Great movie, what a great story to tell. May God bless you and your family. Thank you and your family for sharing your story with the world. Very powerful 👏.
Sending my love you and Serena are my inspiration always have been , always will be 😘💛♥️♥️
I loved the film too ❤❤❤ i think you all are amazing and such a real nice ppl 👏👏👏😍😍😍 And...it is a GREAT joy and privilage to see the queens of tennis play. Thank you what you have given the world, both in personality and talent. 🙏
Arantxa didn't deserved It. Arantxa is a Legend and truly Fair Game!
What a beautiful film. Truly inspiring. That scene where police are called and Mr Williams confronts them telling them that he's just trying to raise his kids right in a tough environment, it really touched me. Your family will be remembered for generations for breaking barriers and being so brave. I love you guys, champions forever.
You are such a thoroughbred, and you are an ambassador for the USA, exhibiting a poise and graciousness that makes us all so proud, and grateful.
I can't tell you how amazing and powerful this KZhead is. When I was elementary, me and my sister played tennis and in the neighborhood we lived in full of shootings and crime it was really uncommon to see people like us playing. Anyway, then we looked up to a player named Zina Garrison, who at the time was the only one that looked like us playing tennis on TV. We tried to write her via mail, but had absolutely no access to her to be able to see and learn these things that you share on your KZhead channel for free or just seeing someone reflect us. That in itself for kids like us could have been game changing and it will be for kids that watch your channel from these neighborhoods now! Can't wait to see you back on the court and love what you're doing off the court! Big ups! 🎾 ❤️ 🏆
I'm not sure why, but I liked the part where he made you play in the rain. Training for everything, wow. Awesome movie!
"Let's blown the horn for the people that have gone" I admired Richard's awareness to life.
AWWWW NEVER SAW IT YET🥲🥲🥲. NOT IN TRINIDAD 🇹🇹 YET… I GUESS..🤔 THANKS FOR YOUR BRIEF SYNOPSIS.. IN YOUR TAKE OF IT….SMILE… AND … BLESSINGS/ CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎊🍾🎈 ON KING RICHARD… BEST ACTOR… 🙏🏾🙏🏾💯💯
I love the film 🎞 Ah-Mazing!!❤️❤️
Watched the movie last week , i know what i have to tell my kids … keep a humble heart i cried when your father told you that when all of you were watching tv … i realy cried…. Thank you for sharing this with us !
Venus is smart, funny and with a drop of sarcasm. Totally classy and entertaining - playing the journey with humor making it enjoyable.
You make absolutely AM🤩ZING videos Venus. It’s like getting a life update from a friend. 🥰
Watched it half way through then battery ran out of laptop. I was great but then prior restart of laptop, I wanted to do some research if it is really true (because it was too good to be true ...) and I love your youtube clarification, that it really happened like shown and yout you folks were engaged so much. Cannot wait to finish it and to watch it with my family and kids. Truly inspiring. King Richard 2 is a must and maybe you start with the story of when your parents were young and how they got you the talent and preserverance. This is really a fantastic story about family and together you can achieve anything you put your mind to.
I absolutely LOVED the movie King Richard! Thanks Venus for sharing your insight. 😊😊😊
It was an AMAZING movie! I loved every minute of it! I may or may not have cried like three times…
"you just can't imagine things in life". Well your father sure did! I wish I could shake his hand and show my respect. Your father is much smarter than anybody. I hope to raise my children to be humble, super confident, and to have fun just as you and your sisters did.
Just watched the movie tonight, the best tennis movie so far. So smart King Williams, the spiritual tennis is happening along the movies to the end, long time to see a movie nonstop for me. Awesome one. Love you V , and S too. Thanks Will Smith, and the casts.
When I saw this last year it was definitely the finest film experience I’d had in years!! It captured the true life thrill of dreaming as big as possible in the real world and then tackling all the obstacles along the way step by step!! What an experience to participate in visually and emotionally!! Love!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I liked the film too Venus. It gave me better insight into what you went through learning to play the game of tennis in what at that time was a sport that was reserved for whites only. Glad you made it to the top of the game and I will always remember the TREMENDOUS contribution that you gave to the game. Thank You soooo much.
Your family's story is remarkable, frankly the American dream! Your story should be told, and I feel like there's at least another movie to be made. Two sisters dominate the sport of tennis, maybe 'Queen Sisters' I think people would love to hear the story of you Venus a grand tennis champion and your sister the GOAT.
This!! Agreed 100%! Saniyya and Demi better get ready lol
I have not seen the movie but really want to but because of covid my husband and I don’t go out much we are in our 70s and he is having chemo so his immune system is low I’m so happy for you and your family that the movie was such a success I have enjoyed watching you and Serena play tennis and have a lot of respect for both of you thank you for this video please keep making them
Non sai quanto sia bello guardare i tuoi video. Grazie❤️ You don’t know how fun is to watch your videos. Thank you ❤️
Thank you so much!
Your story is the most beautifull things i have hear from the botton to the top , with discipline and a very good father too bless king richard and bless williams sister the greaths forever
You are so kind
@@VenusWilliams thanks tou too and thanks you for sharing , may god bless you and your family
Love the court scene moment with V and King Richard. The kitchen scene with mom and dad was intense engaging and emotional. Love how free spirited Venus was in winning matches, just full of bounce & energy. Opponents would act so rigid, so was just nice to see authentic excitement ❤️. Oooh when Oracene checked that neighbour! YES GOD LOL🙌🏾⭐
I can’t even tell you how many people I have told they MUST watch this film. OUTSTANDING!!! Thank you for sharing your family life story with the world! 💗
I loved the movie and the closeness of your family. A great family movie. Thank you!
Absolutely I love the film king Richard! And always my best tennis players are William's sister's! I never missed any of there tournament's! Love you Venus!
Im a tennis bum since the 80’s! Venus you changed the game and bent the curve to inspire and promote women’s tennis to a whole Nother level. Nobody else did that but you. If you did it with beauty and grace and wait for it…… Power! It’s so great to watch you on KZhead. Please keep at it, you are a breath of fresh air.
Loved this movie so much!! You guys are just amazing humans and so glad the Lord shared your lives with us!🤩🤩🤩
love the movie it made me laugh made me cry and made me sad made me proud job well done
I watched it on the plane the other day, such an unbelievably motivational film
Mama Williams is a strong confident loving wise woman!!! 💫💕🌟❤️
Love you and your content 🎾💙
Happy Birthday, V. You are an inspiration to many!
Great Film!!! Been waiting seems like forever for it. Can’t wait for the next film on the next chapters of you guys life and career. I’ve been a fan of the Williams Family since 1993 when I first heard about their story. 🖤🖤🖤
A very happy birthday to you Venus🥳 Wishing for you good health, joy and peace. Have a great one!
I loved the film and hats off to all involved. Question I have is when Richard was defending his daughters honor and as a result was beaten for it was that an actual event? I also enjoyed the fact that once the "thugs" saw what the sisters could do began to protect them. I hope that was a true event. I watched the movie 3 times. Loved it. Told others about it.
We didn't know what to watch last night and my youngest son wanted to watch the movie. He's only 12. We all loved it. A great movie.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Venus.
Welcome!
I'm a big fan of you Venus since I was a kid in Chile and you were 16 years old. My grandfather loved tennis and told me: "she is gonna be one of the greatest". You playing on the TV was pure joy. A couple of days ago, I watched the film in the flight from Germany to NYC, and brought me into tears. Really beautiful story, and outstanding film. Congrats and thanks for the magic.
I went to that movie with a friend we left in tears and highly inspired. Those credits were very touching. One question I would have how does it feel to relieve some of these moments on screen? Does it makes you reflect and see a different perspective on your life ?
I was really touched by the part where Venus didnt really mind having a Silver or Gold trophy. She gave the gold to Serena!
I knew you on court Ms Williams. And seeing you off-court is even more amazing. You are so eloquent yet humble. Indeed, this movie has been extremely inspirational for me in my personal life... "Pick up a racquet and start swinging" - I won't forget your words. To have known your family through this acclaimed cast was an unforgetable journey. God bless you, your father, mother, sisters, husband, and kids!
I love how your parents negotiated… here’s our standard agreement….the whole family is going to Florida with paid living and employment for Mr. Williams. Thank you very much! 🤩
I loved the movie. Great things come from passion and dedication. You deserve every good thing you earned in your life. I really believed the actresses were real players and hear you saying they learned all that in six months was so awesome.
This was my favorite film last year. I've already seen it three times. I mostly could relate to your dad. The obstacles he had to overcome so that you & Serena could become champions was so inspiring. His persistence & dedication has helped motivate me to achieve my dreams. I'm 58 years old, never played tennis, and I'm DETERMINED to be a Wimbledon champion! (no, I'm just kidding). Seriously though, it did show me how important it is to commit to your dream (whatever that may be) on a daily basis. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. As far as questions I have, did your dad really get beat up by gang members?
To be honest it's the best movie, that I've seen in a while. Loved the storyline. Hope we get to see a sequel. ❤️
Thank you Venus, the first time I saw your mother and father I called them King Richard and Lady Oracene. I read your father's book, so as I sat in that theater (all but completely filled), cried the entire movie, for several reasons. Story line was that of a fairy tale! I didn't see actors, they were that good. What a gift to the world!
It was BEYOND superb. I cried throughout the whole movie. A must see! It was done with such passion, excellence and authenticity. It was a movie that really represented the black community well. V... Serena... sissy's it was AMAZING!!!😭🙏🏾💕🥰😘
So glad to hear your feelings on the movie! It is one of my favorites now! I will always be # Team Venus!!!
I recently started playing tennis at 50. And now I'm playing USTA & ALTA ( 3.5 and B1). I love how my game has progressed, hitting with pace, vicious serves and PLAYING THE NET!!AT 6'0 I AM A FORCE.....DONT PUT IT WHERE I CAN GET IT....ITS OVER!!😆😊🎾 Thanks to you and Serena's influence on me and the women of color who probably would have never thought to pick up a racket.
Venus you are an absolute Queen 🤍
Such a beautiful movie, can't wait for my young nieces to watch it, very inspirational. Thank you 😊 🇬🇧
I watched this movie around three or four months ago. And definitely got so inspired by your family story. So thank you so much. 🖤
Venus, what a beautiful and inspiring story... You are a beautiful person I loved watching play. I watched the movie, it was a great moving and I have to be honest, I got teary during a few scenes. What you and your sister had to endure going up and once you got on tour is a testament to internal and family strength! One of the things I wondered about is during the times on the court in Compton, how often were you harassed by the local gangs and at what point did they stop harassing you and your family and understood that you were something special?
Venus, let me tell you something. At the end, when you opened the door and all the fans were there…I was DONE. 😭😭 I love you SO much. Could you please tell us what that match was like playing in your first major tournament? Especially with you being a child phenomenon.
OMG, I literally put a comment a while back requesting your opinions on the movie. I love the movie so much, and after watching this video, I just love it more. It is such an inspirational movie, and I do take it personally as I am also from an underprivileged family. I love how assertive Richard was, and how much faith he has in you and Serena. I had quite a few "You gotta be kidding me" moments while watching the movie, while he demanded free coaching and a house, who does that? When he refused a million dollar contract after your first US open, isn't that insane? I was completely blown away, and inspired by your whole family. Thank you for sharing your wonderful story with the entire world. By the way, your kitchen looks pretty nice, maybe you can make a cooking video if you like cooking. I wonder what a champion eats on a daily basis, and what is the staple dish in your family. Have a great weekend.
Nice comment and feedback - second the idea of a video on food 👍🏾😋
Okay so I’m watching the movie for the 1st time…I’m 24 minutes in and my emotions are intense…I’m telling myself to breathe… okay I’ll comment again after I watch the entire movie. Whew! So far so GREAT!!! Your Dad … WOW and your Mom 🔥🔥🔥!!! …I have 5 daughters…don’t make me come back over here!!!”
loved the movie! inspired me to pick up a racket and now tennis is my new favorite sport!
Love the film, the acting, the tennis & the music! So well done! I’ve watched it several times already ♥️♥️
I didn't know the story of you and your family. I found the movie to be very inspiring, I loved how the movie made we fall in love with you and your family.
congratulations God bless you all love the movie 🎬.
I LOVE this movie
king Richard is an absolute masterpiece in my opinion, you, Serena and the whole family are an example for everyone who loves sport, doesn't matter which one
I just watched last week and Loved it! And Loved even more the Extra Video shared on HBO Max when you two visit the set, and everyone is so happy!! Now I am watching Being Serena because of it. And now I'm here on KZhead watching your Videos! 🙂🙏
Lovely family film!
It was an AMAZING film.....of one of the greatest sports stories EVER! if not THE greatest! fantastic!
I loved the movie, what's great is you can even share it with non-tennis fans, everybody knows the Williams Story. I loved the Cinderella scene as I recall reading about it in Serena's memoir "On The Line"
Tennis is the best sport. Venus is class act and a great Champion..if she was British she would be Lady Venus 💐
I simply love all of you. Your Parents are The BEST !!! Joe Jackson ain't got NOTHING on King Richard. I have so much love and respect for your dad. I Love the film. Can watch it over and over.
I have always loved Venus and Serena even before they were FULLY ACCEPTED by society at large. Their story personally fueled more passion to succeed in me. So proud of them.
