Why is everyone looking over the fact that Kerry Washington actually was being whipped for the movie and she asked to be to feel the pain and horror our ancestors once felt THAT is why that part of him singing was so powerful and real and why you see her truly feeling it when he sings. It was real for her and all of them in that particular moment of the film.
Lawd, every time I view this video, I cry a river especially when Jamie starts singing, "No Weapon Formed Against Me!" Sometimes it's hard to put somethings into words...the tears speak for itself!!!!!
In all that Jamie has done nothing compares to when he sang a portion of no weapon. That one small moment of him singing that song was more than he has done to make an impact on me in his whole life to date .
I was always upset that in the middle of such a powerful, beautiful and touching moment, they would start the dam credit rolling on the screen! Anyway, his message was heard loud and clear anyway! LOVE THIS SO MUCH!
I very well remember watching him that night, it was powerful! When God moves, everyone can feel it, there is no denying God whatsoever. Hollywood and all society felt something real in that song.
See what people don't realize is, that only comes from a place that us is black people know about from the soul when he started to sing the many things we've endured in life for centuries that comes from walking that road.
I was there in the audience for this awards show. They really did start playing the theme music while he was still speaking, but it was because it was being broadcast LIVE on NBC. This awards show was very rushed because it was live. Everything seemed so frantic during the commercials, and they had a little jingle that would play when an award recipient's speech got too long. Jamie Foxx kept talking though. I think I remember him saying more than what is shown here. And then after that, Steve Harvey came out and said a very abrupt "alright, bye everybody"or something like that. It felt like it was over before it started. But it was a good show.
Ohhhhh you can Form Them but Believe Me They Will Neverrrrrrrr Prosper!! I'm Standing In My Seasons, This Is My Time For God Be For Meeeeee, Whooooooo's 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I don’t know if it was a live band playing, but instead of playing him off what would’ve been really cool is if they got some organ going when he started singing.
WHEEEW! Jamie Foxx know he can SANNNG! He definitely made “NO WEAPONS” hit different. But that Kerry Washington, was about to go into a full praise shout! Jaime know he sang that
Now you know the man don’t want to see what will REALLY happen up in there if THAT kinda Worship is shown on screen! They’re already afraid of what we do now! They can’t let THAT happen!
I can’t hear anything on this video. I looked at the comments to see if anyone else had this issue. Every other video I watched today I could hear the sound, this is weird
@@tparker8370 you’re right. I get the feeling that Quintin didn’t want that told because no other director I know has ever done that. Mel Gibson had them take communion during his film The Passion of the Christ but that wasn’t the same kinda film and look what happened to Him afterwards. So I’m thinking he really didn’t want anyone to know that.
This is so powerful when you stop and think of just the words. The content was just iconic with the thought of going through the ancestral step of the lashes you feel the words of the moment NO WEAPONS FORMED AGAINST ME WILL PROSPER! He will bring you though. @thechristopherdennis
