    I was laughing at the beginning of the movie when Denzel was talking to his friend in the backyard. Something about how white people ordering soup get more meat than soup and black people have be a detective to get some meat.

    He really controlled the movie, so when he wasn't in scenes it felt like they lost a presence that loomed over.

    Saw this last night...simplistically, I can say troy was really a trash ? lol but when I really thought it...that jim crow time period, even in the North, was the real "villain" of this story. Troy and Rose's marriage and their family dynamic was a product of the lessons they got from their parents and the lack of ability to really break the cycle and give/show their kids something different.

    It's not something I'll be watching again anytime soon cuz it was pretty heavy...but this was way more nuanced than I feel people give it credit for.

    Denzel was an ? because his daddy was an ?

    He was hardheaded, self centered, and cocky

    Great performance by Denzel tho. He made u like & hate him in the film

    Great movie that breaks down how most bull headed older black males were at that time. Denzel better yet every cast member did their thing in this

    Such a powerful , great dialogue and well acted movie , it hits so close to home.The cheating confession scene & the first time we meet Troy's brother in the street hit me the hardest mayne.

    Denzel and Viola give towering performances.

    Great directing job again from Mr Washington.

    9/10.

    If you don't appreciate the acting it's a boring movie. It's the black equivalent of a white masterpiece that typically gets all the Oscars. We'll see if it gets the same accolades Sunday.

    Sad thing is, people will say it did so well because of the backlash last year. Same as when Halle and Denzel won before.

    Of course Spike says so

    Affleck & Denzel were the 2 best nominees. Coulda went either way.
