@@NikkoNikko98 oh, that's that's that's nice, is it? Real nice, is that right? Okay, we can talk about nice, in fact we can talk about nice RIGHT. NOW.
The man has been with the same woman for over 40 years. And they still seem happy. I know that’s nothing to do with his acting. But he’s one of the least dramatic actors in his personal life.
He has this ability to make any line seem utterly natural to the character, where it’s not just words anymore, but the sound of the character. The effect is hypnotic, magnetic-a scary level of charisma. I’ve seen several actors achieve it in their best roles, but it is exceedingly rare to do it every single time!
You understand what happens now? I understand weakness. I understand pain. I understand death. I understand suffering. And because of these people, I'm starting to understand peace. You can't take that away from me. God is my witness, you're not gonna take it away from them. so do you understand? That's the question. I understand I can take anything I want. Since you can take anything you want, take me. Here I am. Here I am. Take me. i fuckin loved this movie even though i never saw the first two. felt like a continuation of Man on Fire, in fact Dakota Fanning is what made me think of that movie while watching this one. crazy how it's 20 years old at this point
Denzel is one of those rare celebrities that is an absolute master of his craft, while keeping his personal life and demeanor completely grounded. He is completely respectable whether we're talking about his acting or his person. One of my favorite actors!
Am I the only person who ever remembers “The Preacher’s Wife”? I know he doesn’t really do a lot of comedy and it’s more of a lighthearted role anyway, but everyone always shows these clips from these incredibly serious and intense films and then it looks like that’s all he can do. If you love Denzel Washington go watch his Dudley.
I remember thinking how amazing he was in that cup of tea seen in the last equalizer. Such a run of the mill movie and he makes a masterpiece out of drinking a cup of tea and talking to someone. 🙏
I said years ago, can you imagine being someone in Hollywood throwing a party and this happens? “Sir? Mr Denzel Washington has arrived.” “WHAT? Denzel Washington? Oh my go… okay. We need to get rid of all liquor and beer. Run out by the most expensive wine we can afford. Turn off that dance music! Put on some Vivaldi. This party is not classy enough for Denzel! We need candles! If anyone doesn’t have a suit… give them one!”
The first movie i saw Denzel in was Crimson Tide, and what a way to be introduced to him. Fantastic performances by everyone involved, and quite the dilemma the film proposes. The verbal sparring matches between him and Gene Hackman were captivating
Every time I watch a Denzel Washington action picture, I get scared of him. He feels like an unstoppable force capable of moving an immovable object with his will.
the scene of the russian gangster bar is so excellent for the reason we never saw his character do anything violent before, if you would watch equalizer the first time you cannot know what he is capable of and in the end he is as shocked as we are, because he broke his promise and went back to his old self and the audience is shocked because the scene is so brutal, fast and intense.
I always admired Denzel's acting but Training Day really blew me away! It made me go back through his filmography and discover so much more in his roles that I haven't noticed before. He is one of a kind, for sure.
I’ve always loved Denzel Washington, he melts into his character, he lives them, he becomes them. Recently I watched Equalizer 3. Being not really into actions movies I was hesitant but daaaamn! The movie was great and Denzel SHINED
Denzel's a legend, man. I've loved every movie he's been in. I don't think he can be in a bad movie, and even if he is in one, he makes it at least decent. I honestly don't know why more Hollywood movies go for Theatre actors. Like, some just don't fit the look, I suppose, but... Then you just turn to them and tell them to get into some theatre acting. Even if its not for money, its just good experience and knowledge.
My Man Denzel is Something Special! Even as a kid, I not only loved him in any & everything i saw him in, Id already recognized how Special/Great he was without"Actually Knowing/Comprehending Why he resonated so much with me! The Walking Definition of a True Acting Legend! 🤘🏽🫡
Sir Christopher Lee also gave the wisdom of starting out in theater, as he did the same thing. Sometimes I dream about acting, but I know my youth is better spent helping people instead.
loved your video! Denzel has always been one of my all time favorites, possibly no. 1 (leo di caprio, idris elba, brian cranston, denzel washington, matthew macconahey is pretty much my top five off top of my head)
Fences is one of his best work. A masterpiece. Saying in a low voice tone, very subtle, how fathers sometimes can ruined the family harmony by their subborn characters. Loved it
I grew up with way too much love for this man. Remember the Titans, Training Day, John Q, Flight. I got tears from him delivering that alcoholic line just now. My first date with my baby mama was watching Training Day. lmao.
If i could see Denzel Washington in every movie that exists i wouldn't mind it... one of the greatest actors ever i feel sad every time i see him getting old knowing at some point this legend won't bless us with his marvelous acting...
great video, i deadass cried at the end of fences, i thought the last two minutes or so were a little too much with the clouds and shit but the song being sang and his son oh my god. denzel was so good in that shit. you have a playlist for the music you use?
Never fully appreciated his skills before I watched the 2004 Manchurian Candidate remake a couple of years ago. The climactic scene at the kindergarten where he’s trying to bring Liev Schreiber out of his brainwashing broke me. So much faith, conviction, history, and love conveyed in one scene alone. Now I’m obsessed
Jack Nicholson has been awarded time and time again for acting and I don't think the man has ever acted a day in his life. Just shows up on a set, reads some lines in what ever mood he's in and then cashes a cheque, collects the awards and goes again. Denzel is an outstanding actor. Deserves all the praise in the world.
The complicatedly painful and furious glare he gave in Glory as his character was being whipped was one of the first experiences I had with how well he acted. It affected me as a kid when I saw it aired on TV, even though I couldn't quite express the sentiment in words until I was older.
Denzels performance in Malcolm X is in contention for the greatest performance in cinema history it was haunting how he became Malcolm X one of the most legendary, heroic and charismatic figures in human history and potrayed him flawlessly.
The Flight has been up there in my Top 5 movies of all time purely because of Denzel's acting, so much so that it almost DIDN'T feel like acting when he confessed, it just felt like I was watching a real person break down because of their guilt.
9:44 That's the acknowledgement of the movie I was waiting for! Show some love to the Bone Collector, celebrating its 25th anniversary this November! But oh well, no Star Wars prequel therefore no reason to talk about it. It's like the anniversary doesn't really matter. Sorry, went off track
Im soo interested in the things people do in between thoughts, its those moments where someone is being self-aware or deep in their thoughts, them micro-mouvement and behavior is so amazing to me, it seems these actors studied those stuff tonreplicate them manually instead kf instincts
"King Kong ain't got shit on me." "I'll tear your family apart, piece by piece." "For out of the ground we were taken, for the dust we are... and to the dust we shall return." "Forgiveness Is Between Them And God. It's My Job To Arrange The Meeting." Great lines by a great actor. Seeing him and Dakota reunite in another movie years after Man on Fire..
Equalizer series trully was eye opening for me. Its not that he is a hero, he is far past a redeeming point. All he does is a effort to his late wife. Later and only then he again found peace and he defeated his demons. Masterpices of cinema
American Gangster is the only movie that in my country came in the newspapers, leading to Bi/Millionaires, public figures, and even politicians went to watch it as a publicity stunt... Yet the Oscar he got was for Training Day. 🙄
