@@decimustv4257 It's a toss up for sure. If you ever get a chance, he was in a Highway to Heaven episode(A Song of Songs. 1987) as "Gabe Wilson". Such a great episode. I believe the series is on Prime or maybe Tubi? Of course that brings me to Michael Landon and Victor French also. Man, I still miss those guys.
Being a parent is literally the easiest job in the world IF you LOVE your children. The love I have for my wife and daughter can't be faked. It's just there. My daughter asked me one time why I always tell her that I'm proud of her before I tell her that I love her. And I told her "Stella, there's nothing on this Earth you can do to ever make me stop loving you. But pride is earned."
Yeah, and pride is sourced from shame. True humility is the only way through parenthood. Coming to terms that as a parent we cannot know everything, but we must be humble enough to learn.
When i was a kid, i saw my neighbour, shouting “yay daddy’s home” when they father's home. I'm confused, curious, can’t understand why they all so excited when their father coming home. Me and my brother used to hide in our bedroom when our father came back from work, because we all scare of him. 1 day, he shouted our name, calling us out. Asking, “why do you guys run away when i came back?”. We were scared to death, so we lied to him saying we got homework to do. The truth is, he’s a hot headed man, when ever he’s stressed out, coming from work, shouting and calling us out, saying he wants to check our homework. We are not brilliant as he always wanted us to be, our grade are just average, barely get an A-. When he found out our grade, he beat the crap out of us, saying we wasting his money, we're worthless, useless. Like every time we got our results, it feels like death to us. No matter what, i will never do this to my kids, i am my father’s son but i am not him. I don’t want my kids hiding in their bedroom when they knew me coming home.
Same. I remember one time I heard the door opening and I hadn't taken my shoes off and put them away - so I ran to my bedroom with them. He didn't allow me to close my door so I would always hang out in the corner of my room that isn't visible from the angle of the doorway. Anyway, he comes into my room, sees me with my shoes in the carpeted room and gets mad. The thing is - he only ever hit me a few times and it wasn't severe (i.e. with the brush-end of a broom or push me onto a carpeted floor). But the yelling and mocking and verbal abuse was very stressful for a scared little kid.
Joshi The Yoshi Wow, I’m sorry you had to go through that. Jesus loves u and is there with you always just call out to Him and believe in Him. Much love God bless
@@joshitheyoshi2533 i know how that feel, and when my dad hit us, he hit us hard, leaving serious bruises and wound. When we go to school, we are embarrassed to answer to our teaches and friends, they all asking what happened to us. Living under his dictatorship is just so hard, yea we do share some good time but it ain't long, like just a second and then he turned back to his usual hot headed personality. My parent just divorced, which is i think this is the best for all of us, and we don't have to live under his dictatorship anymore. It's been years since the last time we met, and no i don't or ever wanted to meet him again.
That wasnt about respect. Did you hear what he said. His daddy ran him off so he could be with a 13 year old girl.... its sad that a grown man was jealous of his son. Act with aggression and took and dominated a young child. As black thats a part of our history in this country. It shames me as a black man to hear this. It shames to know that this happen often in our culture..
When I watched this movie, this is the story I wish his younger son knew about him. I always wondered if anyone told him at any point. It makes so much of Troy make more sense. This scene is powerful too. Troy closes his eyes when he's telling that story like he's recounting his eyes being swollen shut and blind.
I think in this movie Troy never was taught what he wish he knew so he could show his son. He only knew what he learnt from himself. Troy always gave his son the choice, to choose the right path. Troy was never given a choice from his father.
Right! Thats why I dont judge anyone for their "issues". Everything is cause and effect and most issues are the effect of something else negative that the person experienced or is dealing with.
I have this play in my English 101 from college, but it was never a part of the class curiculum. I was always curious about this play though. One day at my sister's hpuse, I watched it on Hulu and Denzel W had me bawling at the end. I have a family member who is somewhat like this and this movie brought up so much. August Wilson did a magnificent job writing this.
If I ever have a wife and children I will run my ship like a dictator in terms of I have the final word or say so but I will listen to my females opinions. Don't get me wrong, I think a little fear in any relationship is healthy for you. It's lets the other parties know that there are boundries not to be crossed. Weather it be a Parent to child, man to woman in a relationship, boss to worker, sibling to sibling or even friend to friend... but even with that being said I wouldn't want someone to walk on eggshells around me. I think Troy takes it too far. Your kid can't even talk to you dude.
Despite the trouble my kids give me now and again. Despite losing my cool now and then. Despite not being where I want to be in life. I don’t think I’ll ever be unappreciative of the smile on my children’s faces when they open the door for me :)
I used to fight my father when he got drunk. It was a good way to get him away from my mother and sisters and brothers. I am the oldest boy. I'd usually win, I was young, played hockey and highschool football so, the physicality of it wasn't that bad. I really couldn't punch him in the face. So many chances. But I knew my future and that of my mom and siblings would be f*cked if I wailed on him. I remember sitting in an exam in school once...wearing a turtleneck because my throat was bruised. I put down my pen and looked around the gym and wondered how many fellow students had to fight their father ever. Instead of studying for the exam some more...I'm fighting my father...wtf. I always slept with a 2x4 under my bed because on many occasions I woke to him choking me or punching me. My sisters slept with knives. But the really f*cked up part...is that now that I'm older...I look like him. I sometimes catch a glance in the mirror that reminds me of him...and makes me angry. The face I so wanted to pound into the ground. Ahh...such is life I guess...we play the cards we're dealt. I think you become a man when you can take care of yourself, and you don't complain or make any excuses.
yeah im scared im becoming like my father too. I'm losing my hairline exactly the same way he did at my age (from his old photos) and I also am developing a psychological castle around myself it seems and I'm pushing people away just like he did.
I think the next key to self-improvement is to forgive your father. That's not the same as making excuses for his abuses, but it benefits you just as much to let go of past dwindling anger and resentment.
He criminally ROBBED the win & im white (*like affleck) im Irish (*like affleck) and I’m a critic 14/16 years in theater 141 in life… HE WAS ROBBED THIS 2ND BEST ACTOR WIN (*period)
I keep watching little clips of this because Denzel's acting is off the charts but I've yet to watch the whole movie because I don't think I can handle such a heavy story haha
Makes me think of my parents who did the bare minimum of what a parent should do. You know, roof over my head, clothed and fed me. But the love ha. That wasn’t never there
Had a friend in school, real nice kid, his mother was single although had a great job and a very respectable woman. This kid hardly was disciplined because him and his mother got along well. Few years down the road she met a ex Marine. Shortly got married, this is when life changed drastically for this kid. His new father only knew how to shout and use a belt. I swear he got a beating daily. Sad part is his other took her new husbands side. She started beating him also. To make a long story short. He finally moved away to another state. Many years later I still think about my friend. I have a better understanding there is a difference between discipline and abuse. Some of us don’t know that difference. Some of use violence to discipline. Does this make you a man? Yes and no, yes if discipline is explained with reason. There is men in prison that will tell you they were beaten as a child. Although never was it explained to them why.
I'm not saying ALL of them, but every ex-marine I've ever met has had a temper the size of a truck. Whatever the reason most seem that way, I don't know, but still...
Everything is cause and effect! usually an abusive person is dealing with alot of negative effects from their past or present circumstances. A person's "issues" usually stem from negative things done to them in their past or negative things they are dealing with in the present.
It truly hurts to see other fathers and know you missed out on a love alot of people get that helped you all through life, but in a wierd way it feels good to know you're not the only person that had it rough and not feeling alone in it makes you feel better, in a sense
I’m my mom’s son more than I am my fathers. She was a stay at home and was a polar opposite to my dad, pretty much gave me all the good qualities I have in my heart. Now that I’m grown up I listen to my dad much less because I respected him out of fear as a child, I don’t want to be like my dad to my kids, I want them to respect me out of fear of disappointment and not physical consequences. Only time I ever want to get physical with my kids is if they absolutely need it and it’s a final resort. I also want my kids to know I love them without a doubt, I don’t plan on being always soft, but I sure as hell don’t want to be all tough love like my dad’s been to me.
So your Dad paid for everything and your Mum had the easy job. You should respect and appreciate your Dad because he likely sacrificed his life to provide for yours, that's what a Father's job is. Times change and change fast, and people are products of their time and environment. Males today are more feminised than ever, and by some margin. My parents grew up at a time when kids (or rather boys) got caned in School. Violence was normalised. My Mum spanked me a few times as a kid. Because that was the norm, and she grew up in a very rough family. But my sister wouldn't dream of spanking her son and nor would my Mum. Because times are more civilised now. As for "tough love". I grew up with two quite soft and loving parents, and I'm spoilt and lazy as a consequence.
I never got one of these talks. My dad beat only once and it was because I didn’t want to go to the store with him. He always looks at my like I’m weak and is always mad that I’m “perfect” So to speak, I didn’t make all the dumb decisions he did and now he’s jealous or angry I have no idea. I’m 17 going 18 and still a virgin, I’ve never smoked, drinked or gotten arrested. Some people say I’m boring and I’m a square, I don’t know but I won’t follow the herd and smoke “just because”.
Some fathers dont want to be fathers. So you get resentment that enters into their "parenting". Sure tough love is tough love, but i doubt "love" really exists.
@@getmoney1st312 maybe it would've make you feel good, but only for an instant, revenge and resentment are very terrible things that mess you up badly, so I'm glad you showed you're not monster like your father ❤️
I get it’s a serious scene but watching it out of context is like “when you and the boys are having a good time sharing a drink, but then you end up sharing a little too much”
Sometimes when acting like this is pulled off so well, it makes you wonder if to a degree he's been through something like this in his young life or someone close to him that he knew was like this.
Only a movie and some pretenders acting how they're paid to act but whoever has been or going through that in real life, I pray you grow wiser and stronger...
The tragic thing about this scene is that the way Troy's father treated him when he was a child carried over and he pretty much treated Cory similarly.....later in the film the similar clash between Troy and Cory occured just like when Troy was a child in that Cory was going to leave (like tradition in that family). I hope for Cory's sake he doesn't turn out like his father.
Punishment for accountability and decency is one thing. Punishment for anger or maliciousness is another. When people don’t have the wisdom to know the difference you’re gonna have problems. Today too many parents are running away from it altogether. Thus are lost generation full of suicide and depression.
I think of something Murakami wrote, it's from his book Dance Dance Dance. "We are led to believe that we grow up over time but that doesn't seem true, it happens all at once."
The final time my aul fella took a hand to me was in-front of two of my friends when I was about 12 or 13. I'm certain I'd have taken it again had they not been there, but embarrassment took over the fear and I drove him into the nearest corner and everything stopped from that moment. We've actually been friends ever since, and I think he realised he had simply become someone he never intended to be. He's had my back ever since.
Dysfunction transcends into dysfunction, if and only if that next production isn't willing to understand what troubled the prior. And more importantly come to the conclusion that they themselves will never become susceptible to such a ill manner to the throne to which follows it.
When you think about it when he stood up to his dad he knew he wasnt able to go home when his son stood up to him he told him go be a man That cycle continued Fear and Respect it's crazy alot of ppl say you cant Fear love in someone the good book dose it all the time We was whooped and chained water boarded to fear so master could have his respect soory I went to deep
I heard a similar tale from a friend of mine. Her father propositioned his own teen son's gf. He essentially told her: my son's just a pup, he's got no money, no job, no nothing. Im an accoplished man, be my woman instead. And before you ask, yes, he obviously cheated on his wife a lot. It was when I heard that story that I realized how rare my own happy family was.
My father and mother were parents of 4 kids. Father was sole income earner and didn't make much. Mother was sole over-time parent and working side gigs to make ends meet. There was no time for love. They kept us fed, sheltered, and healthy. This is the reality for many kids. Everyone saying Denzel was abusive has no F-ing idea what a tough life is. What poverty causes. My parents loved us more than any parents can ever love their kids cause they were killing themselves to keep us fed.
Parents like this disgusts me to the very end, just because they had a messed up childhood doesn't mean they get to dump their trauma on their own, you supposed to be better, not the same. Just real pathetic.
If your parents ever treat you as bad, i have the PERFECT revenge you can have on them. Walk away when you can, be successful and never so what they sid to you. I SWEAR TO GOD, they will regret ao badly about the past you will FEEL it i. Their voice as they talk... I did.
Being a black man like Laurence Fishburne, Chadwick Boseman & Tyler Perry could make a difference if it wasn’t for Denzel Washington I should have drag him into this damn mess a long time ago.
Wow, Denzel's face was perfect. Watch it with no sound & you'll see why I said that. The director missed something there and I don't know what it is but it was missed. I'm guessing, only guessing, that the director depended on the dialogue to much. Something like that. Denzel's facial expression is perfect but the director restricted his body expressions to get the shot? IDK
@@inversional_loop Thanx for bringing that to my attention. I will, for a probably short time, keep my opinion the same. I can still hear the dialogue getting in the way. Thanx again
Yessir, it takes until you're grown enough to strike back and hope you're just lucky enough that he's only strong against women and children, so you've got a chance. But I knew tougher kids with tougher old mans and they were still better men at the core; wouldn't be as low down as this one. If not just for fear of the charges and sense of morality, but they would drop you harder than a sack of bricks if you tested them. You never felt the Earth like that.
Denzel isn't just a legend, he is *The* legend. Brilliant performer. A natural.
James Earls Jones is better

Denzil Washington truly is a great actor.
Fantastic prose; what simplicity and depth. Denzel - you make me Wan to read August Wilson’s plays now.
if you hate the actor personality in there role that means there doing a good job bc there playing there part and tells how a good actor they are
i felt this way about Tom Hardy in The Revenant
God Denzel is so good ! You just can’t help but hang on every word of that story, true professional!
When the matter came down to it, he knew what he had to do. He set aside each and every one of his fears to become the man he always was deep down.

I’m 17 going 18 and still a virgin, I’ve never smoked, drinked or gotten arrested. Some people say I’m boring and I’m a square, I don’t know but I won’t follow the herd and smoke “just because”.
@Beezy Da Boss Then y tf don’t girls wanna talk to me??? I ain’t the biggest or the most confident but at least I try and listen.
When he said his dad wanted the little girl smh I felt bad for him having a parent like that 🤦🏾♂️
He's that guy that invites you to share a bottle, then holds on to it while he tells you long stories.
Haha
Some fathers dont want to be fathers. So you get resentment that enters into their "parenting". Sure tough love is tough love, but i doubt "love" really exists.
Denzel is a really great actor.
I bought my first gun at 14. With plans on taking out my father. Thank god I didn’t do it. But at 18 I left, n never looked back.
I'm glad you didn't my friend.
alan828 Not as glad as I am.
@@getmoney1st312 maybe it would've make you feel good, but only for an instant, revenge and resentment are very terrible things that mess you up badly, so I'm glad you showed you're not monster like your father ❤️
alan828 My father is not a monster.
Humboldt Parks Son then wtf u trying to say
Denzel is amazing
I get it’s a serious scene but watching it out of context is like “when you and the boys are having a good time sharing a drink, but then you end up sharing a little too much”
1950 era....August Wilson.
Well that is why Denzel is. By far the best actor he is simply the best he can bring that emotion make it feel like it is real love it
This scene made the story make scene. Childhood trauma effects the way you treat people and look at the world.
Sometimes when acting like this is pulled off so well, it makes you wonder if to a degree he's been through something like this in his young life or someone close to him that he knew was like this.
Only a movie and some pretenders acting how they're paid to act but whoever has been or going through that in real life, I pray you grow wiser and stronger...
Well that escalated
The tragic thing about this scene is that the way Troy's father treated him when he was a child carried over and he pretty much treated Cory similarly.....later in the film the similar clash between Troy and Cory occured just like when Troy was a child in that Cory was going to leave (like tradition in that family). I hope for Cory's sake he doesn't turn out like his father.
Generational Trauma..
“ Now I know why the devil never came to get him because he is the devil himself”
Powerful stuff.
Movies like Fences - > makes you understand... just like American history x. This movies are brutal an honest.
Respect is different from fear
Punishment for accountability and decency is one thing. Punishment for anger or maliciousness is another. When people don’t have the wisdom to know the difference you’re gonna have problems. Today too many parents are running away from it altogether. Thus are lost generation full of suicide and depression.
I think of something Murakami wrote, it's from his book Dance Dance Dance.
"We are led to believe that we grow up over time but that doesn't seem true, it happens all at once."
The final time my aul fella took a hand to me was in-front of two of my friends when I was about 12 or 13. I'm certain I'd have taken it again had they not been there, but embarrassment took over the fear and I drove him into the nearest corner and everything stopped from that moment. We've actually been friends ever since, and I think he realised he had simply become someone he never intended to be. He's had my back ever since.
Bruh I love this movies 🎥
Jesus this is by far the best actor to touch the world. Any character. He got it. Danzel for the next Batman 😂
Dysfunction transcends into dysfunction, if and only if that next production isn't willing to understand what troubled the prior. And more importantly come to the conclusion that they themselves will never become susceptible to such a ill manner to the throne to which follows it.
😔................. that is dark. Damn.
When you think about it when he stood up to his dad he knew he wasnt able to go home when his son stood up to him he told him go be a man
That cycle continued
Fear and Respect it's crazy alot of ppl say you cant Fear love in someone the good book dose it all the time
We was whooped and chained water boarded to fear so master could have his respect soory I went to deep
I heard a similar tale from a friend of mine. Her father propositioned his own teen son's gf. He essentially told her: my son's just a pup, he's got no money, no job, no nothing. Im an accoplished man, be my woman instead. And before you ask, yes, he obviously cheated on his wife a lot. It was when I heard that story that I realized how rare my own happy family was.
My father and mother were parents of 4 kids. Father was sole income earner and didn't make much. Mother was sole over-time parent and working side gigs to make ends meet. There was no time for love. They kept us fed, sheltered, and healthy. This is the reality for many kids. Everyone saying Denzel was abusive has no F-ing idea what a tough life is. What poverty causes. My parents loved us more than any parents can ever love their kids cause they were killing themselves to keep us fed.
My daddy was never around, haha to you lot.
Parents like this disgusts me to the very end, just because they had a messed up childhood doesn't mean they get to dump their trauma on their own, you supposed to be better, not the same. Just real pathetic.
What some have had to endure…
When everyone is having a good time at the party and that one person brings up politics
If your parents ever treat you as bad, i have the PERFECT revenge you can have on them. Walk away when you can, be successful and never so what they sid to you. I SWEAR TO GOD, they will regret ao badly about the past you will FEEL it i. Their voice as they talk... I did.
It's a crime he didn't win the Oscar for this role.
Compared to his father, I'm sure Troy is a better man.
Being a black man like Laurence Fishburne, Chadwick Boseman & Tyler Perry could make a difference if it wasn’t for Denzel Washington I should have drag him into this damn mess a long time ago.
To a degree he became his father
Marvin Gaye much?
Being abused is no reason to abuse.
The world got big....It was a long time before I cut it down to where I can handle it... 💯
Ever just click on a TH-cam video and have your mind fuckn blown away???
JESUS CHROIST!!!!
Every single kid is different. some things are tried and true but it's not one size fits all.
Violence against children is never justifiable.
The Apple that fell from the tree, even bared fruit...
He was raised like a lion, literally.
Dang idk if I can watch this
I misread the title. Thought it said "Feces"
Troy has a story
Wow, Denzel's face was perfect. Watch it with no sound & you'll see why I said that. The director missed something there and I don't know what it is but it was missed. I'm guessing, only guessing, that the director depended on the dialogue to much. Something like that. Denzel's facial expression is perfect but the director restricted his body expressions to get the shot? IDK
The director would be Denzel himself
@@inversional_loop Thanx for bringing that to my attention. I will, for a probably short time, keep my opinion the same. I can still hear the dialogue getting in the way.
Thanx again
I'm nervous because I'm kicking my son out of the house when he turns 18 and I pray it doesnt turn out ugly.
why
Why are you kicking him out?
Why tf would you kick him out in the first place?
You can't cast a Shakespearean trained actor and expect him to NOT give his all.
My man!!
How to ruin the mood 101.
Its interesting the way they try portray black men in this folm
Because parents of minorities are more strict , cold and sometimes violent because of their life struggles that they faced due to discrimination.
Larammie Maldonado not necessarily, ik plenty of white parents that disobey their kids like crazy
@zyklon b I guess your kind has more in common that I thought
A black man wrote it.
Yessir, it takes until you're grown enough to strike back and hope you're just lucky enough that he's only strong against women and children, so you've got a chance. But I knew tougher kids with tougher old mans and they were still better men at the core; wouldn't be as low down as this one. If not just for fear of the charges and sense of morality, but they would drop you harder than a sack of bricks if you tested them. You never felt the Earth like that.
Denzel!
Dude, go to therapy.
The worst advice I’ve ever heard 😣
14? He said 13 earlier.
She was 13, he was 14.
JESUS CHRIST SAVES❗️❗️❗️❗️
Denzel was made to play this role. Hit it out the park grand slam
So Denzel was a better Father than the one he had. Watch who you have kids with
I jest made a new Denzel video
I thought man don’t like white liquor 😂😂
Did you Santa Mean Sainta as in Female MAria Carla Clarita..and Clauss? NEIN!
DR DRE
What is to be a man? Exactly
For him I think it was standing up to his abusive dad
I'm sorry but King Bach ruined this movie for me 😆 can't help but see his parody of the film.
Twisted, dysfunctional... is life without God.
