@koulster2 3 года назад

tony my friend you impressed me by being so human in your comment ... the love for compassion and the hope that compassion be real ... because we do fear our hearts ... we all are afraid of our capability to pretend and not be. I myself am an old man and only once in my life have I been a bit selfless. Fun part is that I got jailed for a short period for that one crowning moment of my life when I gave up my personal safety for a economically poor and physically oppressed kid, oppressed by a policeman so obviously police charged me with some fake case: no it was not that the kid was getting beaten up or something, the kid was getting raped by the policeman his step dad since age 11 till I found out and against my instinct for self-preservation I reported the crime. I am still having to spend money to defend that kid and still fighting the police. If I could go back in time I would never do it again because life has become so tough since. I do feel ashamed that I say I would not do it again, that is because I am a very ordinary old person left alone by myself ... only because I didn't want to know a kid was getting raped. I know it sounds kafkaesque, I myself didn't know Kafka's world does exist.

Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington, two of the greatest actors of all time, I am 63 and a white guy living in Australia, these two guys have stayed grounded their whole career, Jimmy Stewart and Spencer Tracy were great actors too, but not as good as MF and DW. and how Morgan Freeman didn't win the Oscar for his outstanding performance in The Shawshank Redemption is beyond logic.

In this order ... Sidney Poitier ... Morgan Freeman ... Denzel Washington ... Jamie Foxx and (Samuel L. Jackson should be somewhere in between. Not because of his usage of the words "snakes motherfucker" but because his unique vocabulary, selected by him is often so correct for the role.

@ItsAllLove4Real 5 лет назад

I could watch THAT man walk ANYWHERE at ANY TIME🙌🏾😍....The movie Glory is where I first saw Denzel. We went to see this movie as part of a project, I was a sophomore in high school and completely clueless regarding the fight that these 'Negroe soldiers' had to endure just to serve in a war that wouldn't benefit them in the end at all, smh. The cardboard "boots" and Denzel's character getting whipped for daring to go and find him some damn BOOTS to continue on and fight, is what broke my 15 year old bratty self and immature self DOWN. This movie taught me more about US in 2 hours, than all of my school years combined, smh...When we left that movie and got on that bus, no one said a word. We were angry, disappointed, inspired and motivated...THAT'S how phenomenal Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman are, they made those characters speak from beyond the grave and you can't teach those emotions, you either got it, or you don't😍🥰😍
