The Equalizer 2 | You Got No Idea What Death Is (Denzel Washington) 

Curiosity killed the cat. They didn't want the smoke 🤣🤣

They didn't pursue because they were afraid and he wasn't, and they recognized that. Never follow an attacker that isn't afraid of you and didn't just kill you outright for no other reason than because he chose not to.

They're just a bunch that brave in the fly-by not in person.

@@OddlyIncredible Add to the fact that they left the boy alone as well and you can very safely assume that they wanted NONE of that. They probably changed neighborhoods just so they wouldn't accidentally bump into what they probably perceived as Death personified ever again.

Dude took out 3 guys each in a span of 2 seconds then walked in a room with no hesitation made everyone submissive with just a glance then walked out with that look of “don’t think of following” I don’t know about you but no way any of them would even consider taking him on after that show

"But why me?" "Let's find out together." Talk about someone going to bat for you - even at great personal risk...

Young men or women… you’re lowkey illiterate bru.. 😂

I'm pretty sure it's just Denzel beating ass

Absolutely 👍🏾

@@cm9241 LMFAO

Studies show the most significant role model for a child or young adult is the same-sex parent. This scene is an incredibly well-orchestrated and written example of just how effective a father figure can be in guiding a better pathway for a youth.

That get me laughing 🤣🤣🤣

@@CrazyRusly same 🤣😂

@@abe4867 odor

One of the best lines ever. Straight up diss like what the wrestler Junkyard Dog did to Jim Cornette in WCW 1990. Cornette said where the hell you been. JYD gave a Louisville address. Cornette said "wait a minute, that's my momma's house". JYD said "that's right and I'm your daddy". That is how you own some beyotch.

​@@DIMP11nice one

So that’s what he said. Kept rewinding to see if I understood. Thanks!

The quote " forgiveness is between them and God I'm just here to arrange the meeting " has to be @1

This was indeed well-written

props to everyone? we watching the same scene? that's all denzel bruh.

@@HeartBreakJ13 hah I'm not alone than I'm not native english person so I wonder if english person would also wonder what he says 😂

"Why not you?" this reply is absolutely perfect and awakens an idea, and spark of confidence in Miles. It's exactly what he needed to hear at that moment. Fantastic acting from both men.

Amen.

For real

I always liked the lighting in this scene, Miles looks like he is about to cry. Powerful scene

Lochlann13 - Excellent point!! So very true!! We written!! 👌🏽🙏🏾❤️

That line cuts me every time

ive always understood that this means miles didnt know what hes seeing while having a gun pointed to his face, cause "you have no idea what death is". Miles was "looking" at death and couldnt describe/recognize it in that moment.

​@@jimmybayconn ,i completely agree with your comment because if that nieve teenager young man named Miles ever had been through the Vietnam War to fight for his own survival and of the camaraderies guys of his Platoon if one of the Vietnamese enemy shots down one of them and he watched him die right in front of his own eyes with that traumatic memory inside his head i garentee you he would definitely changed his mind about having a weapon in his hand is not the same thing on feeling as a real badass Men to be a part of a Gang is a real stupid choice of life, Mr. Denzel Washington speaks that phrase from personal experience as if one of his best friend done that wrong decision,and he finally opened that kid's eyes to use his chances while he's still alive! 😔⚰️✞ ☯🧠 🎥🎞️🎬💯

All these young thugs don't know shit, all they know is what the other dumb fucks taught them

@@dannyberwick9589ima kill you that’s what Denzel said in the movie

no he not

@@josemarceloguansingjr7225 He absolutely is. Just look at the things he says off screen.

@@Zordiak Yes, I agree.

I was thinking the same thing. He 100% is giving a real life lesson!

@@Zordiak He says a lot of shit. Some of it is dumb.

Absolute fact 💯

Tom Hardy is much better actor.

@@chrisrace744 Opinions will vary. But I couldn't disagree more strongly. Hardy is a fine actor. One of the best. But better? Naaa, I can't rock with that assessment.

@@alfa-psi Not nearly as much as you have involuntarily misspoken.

@@latymz he's had far more iconic roles than denzel. E.g. Bane, Alfie Solomon etc. Denzel is like Steven Segal. An action guy.

Made me think about when Peter Jackson was trying to tell Christopher Lee what sounds to make during a scene in Lord of the Rings (where Saruman got stabbed in the back by Wormtongue and falls off the tower), and Lee corrected him on what that actually sounds like, because Lee actually knew what noises a man makes when he's getting shanked. (Christopher Lee was a spy back in WW2 and a Nazi hunter for a brief time afterward.) Some actors have deep wellsprings from which to draw experience, and some of those deep wellsprings reach into dark places.

@OddlyIncredible i love this behind the scene moment I think he said that when a man gets stabbed he goes breathless and very few movies do that It does show his experience and knowledge

He's seen it all and I'm talking about real life. A man born in one of the big heights of racism, gang violence, and drug epidemics ever seen in this country knows what "death is."

Saved the boy's life and rewrote his future right there through a series of tactical moves. Amazing.

'Hits you to the core' usually means the impact was great enough to make a difference. Question: was it enough to have you become someone else's giant? It's okay to receive motivation from a movie...Now, use that to make a difference in someone else's life...for no other reason than it's the right thing to do, and you'll get nothing else from it. Be a Giant (YOU can do it).

@@sbproductsllc5570 what the fuck are you talking about?

@Olel 1. Foul language not required, lest it be by little minds. 2. Offering positive motivation; we all enjoyed the movie, if you enjoy the feeling it imparts, imagine your level of confidence when you are the one making those kinds of changes in someone else's life...that's all. Best of luck in life

@@sbproductsllc5570 what the fuck are you talking about?

The crazy part is I think this wasn't for the young men. I think it was for the old men with young men in their reach.

but them youngins choose to be dumb and gangster. Fools that blame everyone and justify everything just because they think they're entitled. They want to feel inferior just so they can gangbang. It's sad.

These types of scenes aren’t going to be happening as much in the future. Denzel is old and has nobody to pass the torch to.

And so few ever get it

This isnt just for the “brothers” its for any young man ither currently in that situation or thinking about it too many young men fall for the bullshit due to peer pressure and not having a man in the house. Get that “brother” shit out of your mind my friend because those same brothers will leave you out to dry when you need them most. Its about “us” its about community and its about life and how precious it really is because when youre gone there isnt no coming back from that shit its forever. Stay safe and be a figure that young men look up to for the right reasons not the wrong ones

Denzel wasn't in pain. Denzel didn't care about "that kid" "That kid" was an IMAGINARY CHARACTER in a film Denzel was playing another character in that same film. You might need psychological care, if you can't separate actors from fictional roles they play.

@@USMCCombatVet4TastyCrayons, It's crazy to believe that they're people affected by the entertainment they watch.

@@USMCCombatVet4TastyCrayons It's easier to say Denzel than THE EQUALIZER every single time, grow up and stop being a little wuss about everything

@@jsm7896 I mean not to the point of not distinguishing real life from fiction, but entertainment (sometimes) can be art, and art definitely could affect your perspective of things.

@zbyboggy3873 "it is easier to call him Denzel..." that is your brilliant clapback? Denzel...... Denzel..... D..1 E..2 N..3 Z..4 E..5 L..6 What is the character's name in the film? McCall? Robert McCall? Robbie? Rob? Bob? Robert.... 6 letters McCall.... 6 letters Denzel.... 6 letters Finally, the "Equalizer" isn't even a name for him, it is just the film's title. A pseudonym at best. In other words: game, set, and match - you (are a) lose(r).

@Dave Lane stfu dude; the point is that Denzel proves the young man's ignorance and stays safe while at the same time giving the boy a choice. Have you no deeper thoughts than casual insults?

@Dave Lane okay, thank you for sharing your thoughts

@Dave Lane I thought it was pretty fine detail; I had no idea.

@Dave Lane For a non-gun nut, I care And wtf are you doing down here in the comments being all edgy and jackass that supposedly know-it-all Dave?

Interesting! Appreciate the detail!

I think he was younger than that

Jesus christ that's fucked up

Thanks for that backstory. Raised in Chgo but never knew that.

Facts

thrilling moment

@@conephompany indeed. It gives me the chills

He only took the elevator because he knew the roof and windows would be locked.

@Dave Lane I guess the idea of a metaphor is lost on ya eh?

@@dantefromdevilmaycry9857 I don't know, Jordan could fly.

Daniel can’t even wash Denzel’s socks, Brotha 😂

Nah Daniel Day Lewis is something else, both are great actors tho

@Brandon Quezada you are right. I was in my feelings. Honestly it would be epic to have them work together like the USA dream team.

I feel much the same way about my dad. Couldn’t imagine growing up without him.

Jared Leto is the greatest method actor. Period. Has ever Denzel or Daniel mailed co-stars used condoms. I think not.

Up the Boro!

@@richardhorrocks1460 You know it.

*quack*

@@hsayril Autocorrect… 😎

@@Whitpusmc Duck those fuckers😆

Denzel fighting youth illiteracy one word at a time.

Millions of Americans with gun fetishes would disagree with you

McCall is, if I recall (no pun intended here), a retired DIA agent, right? (Or unnamed agencies in original TV series, or CIA in new TV series.) Makes sense if he's just unfazed with such conditions. He's purposedly built for it.

You need to see the 1st Denzel Equilizer movie …..

He was the leader of an unnamed never spoken about death team for all intents and purposes he is death

@@DrWatson4 Personification of death I like it, like Mr.Wick and Aatami from Sisu!!!..

@@dmxdxl Pretty much

Speak on it Nakatomi!!

👏👏👏👏

Yeah, the way one of them says "Who the fuck was that?" makes it clear they ain't gonna follow him to found out lol.

I didn't know, cool detail.

He knew Miles didn't know anything about that

@@SilverKnightPCs😂

@@SilverKnightPCs 1911’s only come in single action designs unless otherwise specified like the colt double eagle which can be fired in double action but it turned out to be a highly unpopular gun that ppl forgot about and is no longer in production. A true 1911 no matter the brand or the chambering can only be fired with the hammer thumbed back. That’s why 1911’s are carried cocked and locked

@@SilverKnightPCs 1911s are single action which means the firearm will in fact not fire if the hammer is in the forward position.

0:09 the ol' left throat jab + control weapon + control opponent's left + right hook combo

The third guy, he knocked out and threw in the elevator had the Uzi lying on the table. McCall passed by there

Especially Fences, a movie that carries a legendary message

That and if America had a better grip on poverty management via social safety nets, like other comparable 1st world nations. Young people in poverty aren't gonna have many positive influences, let alone positive father figures, negative father figures can lead them to crime too. Crime has always been a poverty and wealth inequality issue. Solving those issues or at least managing them better, brings forth positive influences, within improving poverty-stricken communities.

@@alfa-psi I think they mean the speech at the end where they were given the choice of "keep going on and you'll die or walk away and live".

Yup same was hanging with wannabe thugs, wasn't till my father showed me it ain't worth it on the long run,

I just saw it too…. A lot of people haven’t a clue about how real that made this scene…..

I didn’t notice it either.

Yeah I'm too white, what does that mean?

@@ij1376 don’t know why you brought race into it, but anyways…. Yummy was the tragic true story of a child in Chicago, who was hardened by the harshness of his environment and unfortunately paid with his life in a brutal way.

@@jawdropshop don't gotta make me feel weird about it.

2 Guns was terrible though.. lol

@@edwardmowton9825 I remember I enjoyed the movie. Just the Denzel bits of it lol

It’s quality not quantity

Deep !! People lost this comment... So underrated!!

Yeah exactly, they are talking at the building's lobby when actually all those thugs would have come down after them.

The thugs are not stupid. They'd realise that he's out of their league. It's just better to let it slide and save a life or two or five.
