A Soliders Story: Pfc. Peterson 

This movie had a superb cast, but the late Adolph Caesar and Denzel just blazed their roles!

One of the best lines from Peterson when he asked Sarge “where you from, England”

Damn, that was a hell of a movie. Adolph Caesar (RIP), he OWNED that role.

Any man who don’t know where he belongs got to be in pain, coldest line ever

Classic. Please don’t remake this movie and ruin it.

This movie should be mandatory for all black men.

My mother took me to see this movie as a child and I’m forever thankful.

This was one of the best movies ive ever seen about black life in the army during world war 2. I recommend it to anyone. howard rollins was such a good actor. he should have won an oscar.

I've seen this movie at least 5-6X. You can see Denzel's potential on the screen. It so sad that Adolph Caesar never got his due. This was an Oscar winning performance, especially compared what wins today. We need more movies like this.

Everytime I see this movie, one thing that resonates, is SGT. Waters and Petersen, wanted what's best for their people. They just had different views on how to accomplish that very thing.

@ 2:35, I tell you folks played CJ Memphis like he was dumb country boy but @ 2:35 he says the realist line in the whole film. "Any man ain't sure where he belong, gotta be in a whole lotta pain." That's some real ish right there.

This movie has one of the greatest ensemble casts of all time. This film is a brilliant adaptation of Charles Fuller's play.

Peterson was the only one with the heart to stand up to Sgt.Waters.He got his ass beat,but he stood up to him.

Its crazy how in the end Waters actually respected and liked Peterson he had some fight in him.

One thing i can say about them old folks. Them mofos used to talk shit and whoop yo ass at the same time. 😂

Adolph Caesar the only actor that outshined Denzel Washington

i swear denzel washington says "get your f****** hands offa me" pretty often in his movies lmao lmao lmao

The first time I saw this Movie was in my 4th grade Social Studies class. They would never show this to kids in school today. We have to make sure we keep these kinda of movies and music with these kind of messages relevant to the generations to come. This movie really affected the way I view this world even to this day because it’s still relevant to the real world.

I watched with this movie with my Grandfather along with the Color of Money and loved it!! I was a knucklehead around 16-17 on my way to Job Corp the next day. RIP to my grandfather

The old Serge was-a beast with those body shots!!!!!😮

It's truly a dope movie.. Very underrated! A MUST See..

I know this a Denzel video and Adolph Ceaser. But David Allan Grier low key is underrated.

The surprise is the Sgt liked Peterson cause he stood up to him.

This movie is one of the best movies I have seen and had a lasting impact on me during my career in a semi military organization. Denzel was robbed that year of his award for this role and was subsequently awarded for his role in Glory! Real men are always admired and respected!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I showed this movie to my Nieces and Nephews. I had to show them that these movies are more about black people then up to date movies. That so many black actors that came out of this movie alone. Movies like this gets overlooked by main stream and gets no mention.

At 2:57, the guy that's talking to Denzel is David Harris, who plays "Cochise" in "The Warriors".

This was one of the best movies ever made, Denzel is fire

The irony is that Watters was planning to recommend Peterson for a promotion. Watters had respect for Peterson after their fight because he was the only one that showed backbone in that platoon.

I don’t know how many of y’all remember Denzel Washington was in a TV show called Saint elsewhere when they decided to make soldier story into a movie, he practically begged them for that part because he made that part and if you could remember, he was the one that gave the eulogy for Adolf Caesar

I like how in Denzel earlier movies he was the one who alwayz was defiant to authority.

Denzel's character was gonna put Waters down, but he went dirty for real.

Adolph Caesar should have won an Oscar for his performance in this role.

Waters throwing body shots like a prime Spence

This movie has one of the best ensembles ever. A who's who of amazing actors !!!!!!

Powerful movie. No blunt force messages.

You will NEVER see a black cast this great again in a movie ever in history

Great play, great movie. Great acting.

Adolf Ceasar should've won an Oscar for that performance.

this movie is really deep but you have to figure out sargent waters and his beef first....it makes it SOO beautiful and i see my self in denzel AND waters thats whats scary and why the movie is a MASTERPIECE

Absolutely love this film. This should have been a major awards winner!!!…….From a personal ……perspective, I really loved the fact that this film marks the “passing of the torch” from the brilliant ( a mind is a terrible thing to waste) Actor Adolph Caesar and Howard E Rollins to Denzel Washington……Amazing!!!👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥……..also check out “Ragtime”……. it’s another 🔥💯……which stars , Howard E Rollins and in his last film, the late James Cagney

That uppercut was diabolical

I SERVED WITH A BROTHER IN THE NAVY IN HAWAII AROUND 1994. HIS LAST NAME WAS WARTERS. IN REAL LIFE SARGENT WATERS WAS HIS GREAT UNCLE. ME AND HIM WATCHED THIS MOVIE TOGETHER.

Denzel plays the same character in Glory.

Sgt really liked Pete because he would stand up for his people

Sargent Waters & Peterson are duality of Black men in America. And the timing of this film is Perfect. A Farm boy, a 1st generation Californian and Waters being from the Lost Generation of the roaring 20’s. Waters reminds me a lot of the WWII military men that were Catholic from Louisiana. Very conservative and fighting to keep their kids away from the majority of black people in California during the 50’s and 60’s. They were about dignity but their kids wanted to fight back and be free.

This movie and Django Unchained are movies people like Tim Scott need to see over and over again.

I was fortunate enough to play the same character that the great Denzel Washington made famous. I had never seen the movie until I returned home from the 2 month run of our show in Sarasota, Florida. Just wanted to get some feedback on the 2 video responses that I posted. Thanks

Never grab Denzel Washington

Wilkie, Looks like we got a wise ass Alabama boy here. Roll Tide!

Excellent movie !!!

Wow, he's only in the last frame of this clip, but Howard E Rollins was on his way to stardom until drugs sidetracked him. He was actually billed as the star of the movie. He was also good in "Ragtime." Lot of good black actors in this movie, but Denzel's performance shined thru. And the rest is history.

Ive always liked the Reverand MLK Jr.'s quote, " judged by their character, not by their color." so many have proven their character regardless of their color!!!

I knew that was the dad in the color purple 🤣

Don't kick a man while he's down...

I saw this movie when it was first released. I had no idea who Denzel Washington was. I heard later that he had been on a hospital show on TV. Unseen by me as I was working and going to school at the same time. Didn't have time to watch any series on TV. The instant I saw Denzel, I thought I don't know who this Brother is, but he is a great actor! Sure enough, he went on to do really fabulous work. Another person who got me was Meryl Streep. Same thing. She did The Deer Hunter and I had no idea who she was. I'm thinking brilliant actress and I was right. Forget comic book movies; the real deal is solid stories and fabulous acting.

This was Denzel’s prelude to his role in Glory. Same character.

can't believe Denzel didn't get a Oscar for this movie

Howard did a fair job in this movie as well. Outstanding acting all around.

PETERSON!!!!Oh I ain't fogot cha boy........😮

i saw this movie for the first time yesterday but it was sooooo good

I remember seeing a video from Iraq where a first sgt challenged a enlisted man. The enlisted man knocked him out.

Adolph Ceasar stole the whole show on this...best movie I have seen, hands down..seen it back in 1994 i believe.

One of the best movies I have ever seen.

If he didn’t throw that dirt in his eyes…He ‘d still be whoopin his ice….🤣🤣🤣

Good movie. Denzel was great as usual

It sad, Sgt waters was so enraged because of racism he came down on his own platoon to harshly, and putting CJ in jail causing him to kill himself was too much to bare, another senior officer should have stopped ✋️ him from treating them that way, his problem was internal, some people are slower to learn than others, he thought he should show them, he was wrong, good movie 🎬 but sad as well. They were all having a hard time already, waters made it worse.

One of my favs

This film was based on a solid play not cooked up by some hacks who consider themselves the next Raymond Chandler rather than just another downtown clown.

Sargent Waters. One of the greatest characters ever created for an African American in film history, and Adolph Ceasar crushed it.

2:32 - 2:39 - 2:44 Deep Cj character duality that might get overlooked

Sgt Waters is Clarence Thomas

Like normal 2 people coming from different perspectives not even trying to understand the others. Like CJ said a man that doesn't know who he is is living in hell

You cut this right at the best line of the film and the entire message of the story.

my husband comes from a long Afro/American Military heritage his grandfather was a part of Red Ball truckers during WW2 his father served in the USAF during Vietnam and my husband with South African heritage served the SANDF and i saw this movie when i first came to the USA and i can’t begin to understand the struggle my husband’s family went through in the USA.

This is when I began to notice Denzel. Oooh Wee!

Pretty deep role that only the most courageous of thespians dares to tackle; my commendations. Gotta inquire though: This character endures a great deal of set back and humiliation despite (perhaps because of) being a strong, independent man. Did that effect you on a personal level at all?

Sarge did'im dirty with the sand.

love that Denzel shut up at 7:09, had me sitting straight up in my chair!

Probably the best line in the movie: Any man ain't sure where he belong, gotta be in a whole lotta pain.

Denzel is an all time great.

Denzel wasn't even 30 yet.

Everybody talking about an Oscar for the late great Adolph Caesar. Them oppressors not allowing our eyes to opened by this type of dialogue in this movie.

A great movie! ❤

"I know who I is". "But I don't know who I am!"😊

Great movie

6:25 ls that David Alan Grier? I saw this movie on ONTV back in the early 80s (81 or 82).

Denzel plays Peterson well. The Play is only as good as the actors in it and they are great.

One of my favorites

CJ told him Sarge fought dirty.

This movie is a Classic!!

Remake this movie with Michael B Jordan as Peterson Terrence Howard as Waters The Weeknd as CJ The late Chadwick Boseman would have been a perfect Capt. Davenport

Get yo fuckin hands off me!!!!!!!!

0:59

"c'mon, pleeeease."

0:38 Big Daddy Kane - "Show & Prove" (Verse 1 by "Scoob") - So hurry up and skedaddle Even if you join the army, you still couldn't battle So where you from? England, you somebody great? You burning Scoob, "I don't think so mate"
