- Опубліковано 22 січ 2017
- Denzel Washington, Viola Davis, Mykelti Williamson, Jovan Adepo, Stephen Henderson, and August Wilson's widow Costanza Romero joined the Film Society's Eugene Hernandez about their new film 'Fences,' following a screening of the film.
Fences is the story of Troy Maxson, a Pittsburgh sanitation worker who once dreamed of a baseball career, but was too old when the major leagues finally admitted black players. He tries to be a good husband and father, but his lost dream of glory eats at him and causes him to make a decision that tears his family apart.

My favourite quote from this footage (and overall from Mr. Washington), "I'm an ordinary man with an extraordinary job. NOT the other way around."
Viola's reply to an audience member's question was one of the most insightful, interesting answers from an actress I've ever heard
I think Viola's Rose is a warrior too.
Beautiful movie about black family, love, pain, relationship problems and staying together despite all that happens loved it.
This is not about a "black family". This sort of thing in this movie happens in all races of families. But I do understand this senroio was greatly present in black families maybe more so then whites BACK THEN but you can't say that today. White families, mexican families, asian families and black families all experinace this story within there families. And even back then but more so today then back then. It is all equally present today in all races.
Mykelti should have gotten nominations for supporting actor. He soooooooo good at what he does!
He killed that role. 🙌
Absolutely agree.
This was such a deep movie. Very relatable
9:28 great quote about standards
11:51 Thanks for giving Denzel his props
14:34 Great response
I thought Denzel or someone atleast was gonna cuss that guy out for asking that question. "How in the name of god is Mr. Henderson black?" First of all it was a waste of a question, I'm sure there were plenty of people in that room dying to ask something. Secondly I cant believe someone feels like they need to take it upon themselves to try and in invalidate someone of being black. Shame
The fact he was Dominican explains the reason to ask such a question. I felt like Denzel brining up Haiti was a subtle clap back. The response about Black consciousness over color was even better.
I watched this movie about a year ago on Netflix. It was such a great movie to watch...storyline kept me guessing...I learnt today that it was written by an African American playwright...that is awesome!
Realy agreat movie, i learnet that The only thing keep us togather is appreciation for the other sacrifices
Voila Viola
great great great
I really enjoyed the movie.
This host is so......
Out of the loop. Hosts should be chosen by how drawn they are to the material they are going to facilitate. This dude is so lackluster
WTF kind of question @ 30:09? smh lol
What About lol so cringey
hell yea that was so ignorant....i was like "no he didnt just try to invalidate this guy blackness in this setting". Shit happens like this randomly to light skin African Americans all the time....its always a WTF moment ....it's just rarely filmed live ....smh
I came here because of Viola, but I read your comments and I had to watch the entire video myself. OMG, that question was just either ignorant or bad taste. "black" is just a label. Even if you put in genetics, african Americans are not even technically black in color, it's just a label. I think what makes us "white" or "black" or "brown" or whatever is our lineage and ancestry. That question is really, really... ugh, bad taste. But I think Denzel's historically-educated reply to that really nailed it.
WTF indeed...even though I read your comment before watching the video I couldn't expect a question like that. There are no words for this type a question
damn
Ignorance can present itself even in the darkness room...Mrs. Dominican l
I thought the same. What a stupid ass comment/question. Embarrassing!
Alright Ok Spicy keep it coming 😁💕
Who are the lazy people in the audience that decided the cast did not deserve their standing ovation?
@ 36:02 For a second I thought the young actor had on a stiletto boot............lol. (It's the angle.)
The statement, "He looks like a White man" statement was uncalled for!
It was plain dumb! Most of all, irrelevant.
U
Viola Is such an Amazing woman and so attractive not because shes black.
Her being black is a big part of who she is, of her lived experience in the US, and her narrative, all components of her inner beauty. Her features are classic African Congolin, her complexion a rich espresso. That is obviously part of her physical beauty.
I would say she is not only beautiful solely because she is black.
Dominicano : así no se representa un país 🤔
What are your thoughts on when she asked Denzel if he was going to keep seeing the woman and he said yes. He said he couldn’t give up that other happiness.
My reaction as I watched it was "oof." Like an emotional punch to the gut.
I was angry that he never acknowledged her pain, I suppose through pride and fear. But at the same time, he never failed to say he respected her, and it seemed, on her own, for herself and her self-respect. He respected her even though he dominated her, because she knew she chose her lot, and she stuck by her commitment - her responsibilities. The same way he did.
But he never acknowledged or understood her inner life, because he was so wrapped up in his own. He just kind of assumed that it all came back to him and his choices. So if he was right by it in his own heart, then it must be right for everyone. Even to the point of continuing an affair.
But that was different than Rose. As a wife, Rose committed her whole self to Troy. She didn't hold anything back from him that would be for his own good.
I think it hurt her deeply, as most women experience, that she didn't get to be the recipient of her husband's laughter and joy. That in some way, he viewed her as a burden, in that the only time he could feel truly light and joyful was when he unburdened himself from Rose, his wife. I think that broke her heart - it was so unfair - he could only be with a self-respecting woman if he held back his most tender self, but her tenderness for him faded as his own self-respect did. It's like he needed her to respect his decision to continue an affair, sort of lending a boost of respectability to it. Like, people were not OK with it, but if she consented to it, then they'd have to accept it too. I think asking that of her destroyed the comeraderie with his friend Bono. I mean, they were still right even when Bono saw it coming and confronted Troy about it, but how Troy handled it destroyed the respect Bono felt for him. That line in the bar about him improving at Dominoes said it all.
So I don't think he was surprised at all when Rose relented, and agreed to raise Raynell as her own - he relied on Rose's respect for commitment, and her values - she couldn't abide the idea of a motherless child. But I think Troy was truly shocked and befuddled when Rose said the consequence would be that Troy is a womanless man.
That line floooored me. Damn!
It's the truth though. It's like Troy required every last bit of her as an individual woman. Sort of a wife's version of giving your "last full measure." she kept her commitments, and honored her values, but asking it of her killed the tenderness she could give to Troy or Raynell.
What say you?
denzel drunk
I think Viola is too😅
