Did you know that Fences has grossed over $63 million? Personally, all I had to hear was that Denzel Washington was in the movie, then I knew that it was a must see. In fact, knowing that Denzel Washington plays the lead character gives movie patrons some assurance that the movie is going to be well done and inspiring. Washington seems to always deliver a soulful character to the big screen. Fences movie is and award winning movie and Viola Davis’ riveting performance won her a Golden Globe Best Supporting Actress award.

About the Movie
Fences Movie is deeply emotional. To understand the life and struggles of a black man and his family in America is not an easy task, but in many ways Troy’s character transcends race. It is the struggle of a working class man who has talents far beyond the work he is paid to complete. While not everyone will understand or appreciate the impact of fences. Not every will be as moved as I was when I felt their hurts or disappointments, rejoiced with their triumphs and cried when they shed tears. Fences movie is a narrative of a person who has been hurt by a larger system and in turns hurts others in his path. I believe, hurt people, hurt people so this movie reiterates this sentiment. There really isn’t much of a silver lining but is more about raw truth and generational set-backs.
Denzel Washington is masculine, strong, courageous, and cowardly throughout the movie. Viola Davis is soulful, trusting, full of pain, and perseverance. Washington is Troy Maxson. the main character in Fences. As a former baseball player who doesn’t get to play pro baseball he all bitterness to leave him ungrateful and disgruntled. The movie depicts his real familial struggle and his courageous wife who plays the embodiment of a strong black woman.

my favorite movie with him is Flight
Love Denzel! I honestly can’t pick a favorite…there’s old Denzel and new Denzel and I love both. I still haven’t seen Fences yet but it’s on my list of movies to watch.
I enjoy watching Denzel and Viola on screen. I can do without the bodily fluids that escape her eyes and nose but her performances are awesome. lol I have yet to watch this movie. Glad it’s on dvd now so I can watch in the comfort of home.
This movie is a must for my movie collection. It is an incredible story but it holds personal meaning.
I just won this movie in a giveaway on another blog. I can’t wait to watch it!
That’s great. I’d love to hear what you think about it because the reviews are mixed.
I don’t think I can narrow my favorite Denzel movie to one! It’s definitely a tie between John Q and Man on Fire. I love the complexity of his characters as they relate to his “children” in those movies. Kids always add an extra layer of emotion for me! I also think they bring out his fatherly instinct and passion so I’m excited to see him in this father role.
I loved John Q. It definitely had me very emotional.
Wow, I’ve never even heard of a Soldiers Story and I thought I’ve seen them all.
Man on Fire is one of my top favorites.
I like American Gangster.
