I totally understand what he saying about korey. My therapist once told me that when you have something bad happened to you at a young age. That’s the age you stop growing mentally. My heart breaks to know what happened to them. I cry.
Correct. I can speak from experience. Something happened in my life when i left high school. I was like 17/18 at the time. I now suffer from anxiety, depression and PTSD because of it. I still feel like my mind is stuck in that age even though i am now close to 32 years of age. I have a fear of taking on various responsibilities which would be more suited for grown men to do.
Tonganqueenb that’s some high praise right there I’m only getting ready to start episode 3 so I look forward to him and his acting. I’ve seen a lot of compliments on his acting 🙌🏾
That’s so sad 🤦🏾♀️ now I understand why they put “I like when you call me kid” in the last episode. The age you go in jail is literally the age you stick to forever
All of these young men did an AMAZING job and Jharrel Jerome as Korey? Just wow! It hurt watching this story being played out but I truly believe there was so much beauty that came from such an injustice situation. These men are now using their pain as power and considering what they had to endure, that is such a beautiful testimony within itself! God bless them all! ❤️
Korey Is Still A Child Inside And It's What Connects Him And Makes Him Sane Still. The Things He Experienced We're Tragic And I Can Never Hold In The Tears For What The System Did To Him For What These Monster's Did To Him. 😢💔
@@sinamen516 yes, I watched. I also know that he could not read and did not attend school regularly. Whether big D deaf or Hard of hearing, he could possibly qualify by today's standards as eligible for IDD (Intellectual/ Developmental Disability) services. But, I GUARANTEE that if he were tested back then his IQ was low. That's not just deafness in one ear.
MizzJ0nez I think it’s more so a learning disability versus intellectual disability. He just processes things differently and as a younger child he didn’t get the necessary support. Also, the trauma that affected his growing brain at 16 can play a role.
They need to go through all court cases from 1989-2019... Everyone who was involved.. to sentencing young youths black man.. needs to be punished from the judge on down
A lot of them involved will be able to hide behind the statute of limitations. It's how criminals are protected with unjust laws. Too bad those statutes didn't help Bill Cosby.
Naomi: That's the thing---none of them ever were. The prosecutor has lost a current book deal, had to resign from a board, but that's about it. Of course, she and the cops who arrested the five claim to this day that they're guilty, despite the fact that no real evidence was ever found to prove they were.
Ms_aud most films aren’t filmed in sequential order. So I’m thinking they filmed it backwards. But they could have always created the facial hair or long hair.
@@ChannieChauni as far as I know, while part 3 was filmed, apparently Jharrel spent that whole time hitting the gym and growing out all of his hair/facial hair. The rest would have just been makeup 😊
This had to be the most heart wrenching movie I ever seen ...I literrally got sick to my stomach. That money don't make up for time lost ...He doesn't erase anything...Korey went through more than what they showed ..Those boys were babies...BABIES!!!
When I first heard the title of the series a while back I thought, couldn't they have chosen a better title. After sitting on my couch watching all 4 episodes, yelling, crying, feeling frustrated and exhausted while watching this brilliant piece of work. I quietly said "When They See Us," makes perfect sense.
@@DragonSpiritKarMa sorry, didn't see this message last year. It took me a while before I watched it, cause I knew it would probably make me a ball of emotions. Hope you're doing well in this chaotic 2020 year. 😊
These guys are all geniuses and smart young men. I’m overly proud of them. You guys deserve an Oscar for each role. I’m still numb and moved by the performance.
Yes you have to think they went in as teenagers so their life stopped at teenagers and that's how they came out as teenagers because they didn't have the life experiences on the outside..my hurt hearts for all the guys but especially Korey..
I commend all these young men for a job well done. I lived in Harlem at that time I was 23 years old I heard and saw how the city was divided. I was there when they were protesting. It was sad then and it’s even harder to see it being played out in a documentary. Everyone who played a part in the conviction of these innocent young men should be prosecuted to the fullest. There were no apologies and no remorse. Not no money no apology will ever give these young men back their youth and take away the mental and physical abuse that they endured. I hope they find peace.
Sometimes we go through things and wonder why...why the pain..why the suffering. The Central 5....therer pain reached us all.then and now..God is still good...This movie again was AMAZING*...For you guys.,the cast..you did an amazing job....just fantastic
I am so proud of this group of young actors. They really transformed into these historical characters to tell an important story. Awesome passionate real performances. Hope to see them all go on to huge success.
My heart still hurts to this day -remembering being one of those 15-16 year old teenagers back in 1989, living in housing projects on the upper west side of manhattan approximately 3 blocks up from where the rape incident took place in Central Park. I remember our worried grandmother calling my brother and I upstairs for the evening from playing outside asking us bout this. Luckily we no where near the park nor were we even allowed to leave from in front of the building. Having known about this for 30 years to eventually going on to college and doing a sociology term paper on this case...the thought and idea of having my life stopped as a 15-16 year old teenager arrested, apprehended, abused while unaccompanied by a guardian then coerced into committing a rape crime I never did, spending years in prison is something “no one” would’ve been able to fathom. These young kings did such amazing job..And side note, it took the very talented director Ava DuVernay to craft up a beautifully compelling story, that was yet so daunting and heartbreaking that it still effects the real Central Park 5 and us today. Well done cast. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
What is really sad is all of the fear and pain, sadness, and lonliness, also the built up anger displayed by those men; especially Korey Wise, was ACTUALLY felt by children who decided to go to the park. It makes my heart hurt so bad for these guys!
I’m not from America but i can understand what happened in the show and what happened to these boys (the central park five) every one actually would understand it’s something about being a human this show was amazing i cried alot i never hear about their story before maybe because I’m young and not from America but thank you Netflix thank you ava for this show,and god bless those young actors and the central park five
Patato Everything when they showed the older version of him in the show I was like wowww this actor looks exactly like him. Until I watched the interviews after and realised it was actually him lol
Jharrel Jerome looks absolutely nothing like Corey Wise, but when you see his EPIC performance in "When they see us" you completely forget about that. He nails everything about him from what I have seen from the real life Corey. I was scared, hurt, terrified with this young man through the whole series, that's powerful right there. Hats of to everyone of them involved, perfect cast and director.
Korey is so damaged he is asjusting to all of his past to his present. The pain still lives within. I completely understand why he isn't with anybody. How can he be? God has a plan for them yet. Korey everything will be alright. Jharell you are brilliant. One sweet heart portraying another sweetheart. Absolute artistry
Poor Korey Wise lost his youth. It's easy to understand how he can't really let it go. As for Jharrel Jerome. I do hope to see more of him. That was 1 of the best performances i have seen. Amazing stuff but in saying that it was heartbreaking to see what happened to those boys and in particular Korey.
In the movie when the cop hit Asante in the head and knocked him out, I cried out loud . There were so many parts in the movie that tore my heart into pieces.
As a black man I don't want to be mad. I don't want to be angry. I don't want to hate.... Please help me and millions of others like me.. By just admitting that the kids were innocent..... Stop protecting Trump, stop protecting the NYPD, stop protecting the prosecutors, and stop trying to protect people from embarrassment... We need to hear from all parties involved in the process of not bringing true Justice to the victim and for destroying the 5 young men lives.. It's time to admit. So we can forgive, move on, and heal. So we can teach our young about being honest.
It’s so sad If you see Korey today his fashion and himself as a person is like a teen but it’s really sad that he kind of has to because he lost his childhood for no reason only because he’s black it hurts so much god bless him and the others couldn’t imagine being in that situation
No what sucks, this is one out of 102737339 trillion stories that are very tragic ,melanin people , brown , and other races , but especially melanin people, especially in this country, some of us get raped at a young age, beat, bullied by our own, get motivated to do better, drugged own by our own and get killed by our own, and all that especially by whites
I am willing to guarantee that some of those people would do it again, even after they seen this. That's because they don't have a bit of Human compassion. They still sleep at night.

Jharrel deserves an Oscar! To play a teen AND an adult in the same series is mind blowing!!!
db60615 Facts!!
Yes but he won't win an Oscar. He should and will win an Emmy
@@josephd15 yeah I know, but if this was a major motion film he'd be a shoe in!
Yesssss!!!
db60615 how he play two different roles like that ? Like I’m confused he’s grown how they make him look so young this movie must be old
I totally understand what he saying about korey. My therapist once told me that when you have something bad happened to you at a young age. That’s the age you stop growing mentally. My heart breaks to know what happened to them. I cry.
Wow
Letty Segura yea its actually called trauma. Trauma talks about how some experiences at a certain can effect the brains devolpment..
Interesting
💔

Yeah it’s sad. It’s called trauma and all five of them were diagnosed with ptsd 😢 you can tell korey is having it the hardest
@@KrayzeeLife if anybody questions you PTSD is post traumatic stress disorder
@@KrayzeeLife and then I think Antron is second.. .he breaks down everytime he talks about his dad...they did that to their relationship

They needed to make this a movie
Blankman !?!?! no definitely not, I think they couldnt have fit in the whole story in just one movie
@@alwayslearningnoodle ok
You can hear and see it in the way the real Korey talks, he's still in need of a good strong counselor. I pray for him
& a counselor who can work with him on his level. He clearly has a disability and that was never considered. Sad.

This series did things to me I never thought it would
I can relate
Your not alone on that one trust me 💔
This kid is an awesome actor
Kevin Corcoran iknr
Indeed..
Which one or all of them
They need to go through all court cases from 1989-2019... Everyone who was involved.. to sentencing young youths black man.. needs to be punished from the judge on down

Totally agree , all of them should go through hell and have the experiance of "everyday-death"
How they made Jhaleel look super young is still a mystery to me 🙌🙌🙌

Jharrel did an amazing job.
The kid who plays Kevin is like a 13 year old grown man lol
he’s 17 close to turning 18
He is soooo well spoken!
He's 21, and I was shockeddd
Ε no Marquise (the young man who played Raymond) is 22. Jharrel is 21, Asante is 17, Caleel is 15 and Ethan is 18.
Yep
These guys are all geniuses and smart young men. I’m overly proud of them. You guys deserve an Oscar for each role. I’m still numb and moved by the performance.
These young actors did an amazing job, I would like to hear how this impacted them psychologically?
Yes you have to think they went in as teenagers so their life stopped at teenagers and that's how they came out as teenagers because they didn't have the life experiences on the outside..my hurt hearts for all the guys but especially Korey..

You all did an amazing job portraying these strong beautiful black men you are all very talented great job 🙌🏾👏🏾❤️

Nobody talking about the good cop that helped Korey
That has been on my mind
how did he help him?
He got a part in the movie. That’s enough
Yes! Roberts!
fuck them
I think Caleel deserves a oscar he did really well tell that to Caleel

They broke Khorys spirit. I saw him at Wende CF he was still young you could see his spirit was broken in his eyes
Excellent casting for kid and adult parts
love this interview.
He is a great actor!! Played the hell out of that part as Korey! Touched my soul I tell you!
I knew that the moment I saw Jharrel Jerome on "Moonlight" he was going to be a phenomenal actor.
Wait.. is young + older Korey the same actor?
Patato Everything yes

So how do we assist them in moving from that place is the bigger question. It’s a comfort and a somewhat safe place for them mentally, but
Well spoken
