One of the most memorable
movies I have ever seen. The acting, the story of one black families
experience . . . was spellbinding . . . to me.
This is not a "fun" movie. It's about a man who cannot feel or has any insight into his emotions. It is cinema at it's best . . . for people who want psychological content. No song and dance routines here with Gene Kelly.
From Rotten Tomatoes:
Denzel Washington directed and stars in this adaptation of August Wilson's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, which centers on a black garbage collector named Troy Maxson in 1950s Pittsburgh. Bitter that baseball's color barrier was only broken after his own heyday in the Negro Leagues, Maxson is prone to taking out his frustrations on his loved ones. Both Washington and co-star Viola Davis won Tonys for their performances in the 2010 revival of the play.
