The Truth Of Antwoin Fisher

Antwonin Fisher is one of the greatest films ever made. The sad truth of the matter is that such abuse is so prevalent in the lives of African Americans. The industry is buzzing purely off the fact that Denzel is directing. Real life Black dramas tend to do well and make for compelling movies, so it should be good. The real-life tale of a Navy man who seeks psychiatric help (Washington) in order to understand his anger and previous life of crime. I am very happy to see Denzel branching out and trying something new. He is a phenomenal actor and I expect that he will be a great director as well. No matter how the movie turns out, it is so important that he set his mind to do something and he completed it. God bless. We have high expectations of Denzel Washington performances and he always delivers. What about Denzel the director? Antwoine Fisher delivers the moving drama of the life of a young man and the effects of key figures in his life. Derek Luke in the title role is brilliant. Inevitably the character comes across as molded in Washington's shape, however you get the impression this is not just because Washington directed it, not that Luke was trying to copy him, but that Luke is as genuinely powerful and thought provoking an actor as Washington. Taking the story of a man few viewers will have heard of and making it genuinely interesting is a difficult feat which Denzel achieves. The film is neither rushed nor showy, but it never feels slow or dull. It is measured and nuanced, balancing the humor and drama perfectly. Antwoine Fischer may not blow you away if you like big, explosive, plot less Hollywood films but for those who appreciate a finely crafted character piece, with excellent performances and steady well handled direction, this is for you.
