Theatrical dialog like doesn't work as well in the more grounded muted tone Denzel went for. If you don't listen to the words it sounds more natural but if you do then it feels much more fake than the heightened grandiosity of theater.
denzel clearly never was like james early jones cause his son looks like a little b***h
clearly was very pampered by his father
denzel sounds like "dude brah" father not an authority figure like james earl jones
It's the theater, drama is the order of the day. The person in the last row has to feel your performance as much as the first row. It's not a cinema screen.
I don't think he got acting mogged at all. Stage and film are two different media. Besides, we have no idea what the director wanted out of Denzel, he might have asked him to soften it up a bit.
ah, whoops
Looks like he was trying to show a little more love and compassion, which was there in the subtext but that a 2016 film audience probably wouldn't get
New it would be this before I even clicked the link. James Earl Jones is one of the best actors there ever was. His most underrated role is Claudine. Pure charisma and powerful acting.
He played it like a sitcom dad. It did elicit laughter from the audience so I guess it was an effective choice. I don't think he has the tone and vocal power to play it like James Earl Jones but he's a naturally funny guy so this suits him.
Typical Black person moment >praise me for doing the most absolutely minimum required effort after impregnating a b***h
It's like those niggs who brag about having never been to prison. Dude it's the bare minimum for any citizen to not end up in prison, same for a father, you have a kid you work for him, you love him and you encourage him to become better than you because you can give him the opportunity.
Denzel is a extremely one dimensional actor. Not saying he has roles that fit him well. But he literally just plays himself in every single role he does. No range at all
This is common tbqh. I'm not saying there aren't many versatile actors out there but the ones who reach the absolute apex of stardom tend to be the ones that play a specific type that audiences enjoy over and over again. This isn't true of 100% of major stars but a solid 75% of them at least, including many who are considered "great" and win Academy Awards.
Wasn't this what Training Day was about? Him hearing a lot of criticism that he was one note and so he picked a role that was completely unlike his usual fare?
denzel isn't really know for his theater acting
he did julius caesar on broadway a few years back and people were whatevs about it..
he also is a drone in MacBeth..
is that don sneedle?
James was better he talked with the anger of a real dad , Denzel talked like angry Denzel

Cuz Denzel sucks.
denzel clearly never was like james early jones cause his son looks like a little b***h
clearly was very pampered by his father
denzel sounds like "dude brah" father not an authority figure like james earl jones
son lookin like one of those papua new guiBlack folk
Going off of Denzel's interviews I believe he raised his kids right.
men earn respect
if you have to rant and rave about the respect you demand, chances are you are an insecure homosexual undeserving of it
Denzel is a raging alcoholic.
He's drunk right now.
he's also black
IM ACTING
james earl jones is playing the classic boomer dad with a chip on his shoulder
because Denzel can't act for shit, about time people started to notice this.
>2 oscars
because he was hot (physically) in the 90s
>9 nominations across 5 decades
He’s pretty good imo.
Vader had the right demeanor but the delivery was too dramatic, Denzel acted no different than Training Day

denzel is the director

Denzel has done Fences on stage too though, is there footage of that to see if it's different from the more toned down film performances?

The scenes with Viola Davis have more intensity
Damn JeJ was fricking jacked back then
Viola Davis killed it in this film.
The words don't feel right or authentic coming from Denzel's performance.
The play even asks for the actor to be built like a linebacker, idk why they got a little twink to play him in the movie
Typical Black person moment

>thinks a father demanding respect because he puts food on the table and clothes on their back is exclusive to black people
So he was intended to come off as a gigantic tool right?
Yes, the play is about how he's a bitter man trying to frick over his own son's athletic career out of jealousy
Absolutely. He's a total piece of shit.
Essentially he was one of those black baseball players that thought he should have been Jackie Robinson
Denzel is really good at being Denzel.

Is that fellow gay hater Isiah Washington in the play?
>WHAT LAW IS THERE THAT SAYS I HAVE TO LIKE YOU
sounds like Cinemaphile
>Cinemaphile
>having children
Darth Vader's a really good actor and he's playing his bit serious. Denzel is playing TV sitcom dad.
Denzel's voice doesn't fit him
denzel isn't really know for his theater acting
he did julius caesar on broadway a few years back and people were whatevs about it..
he also is a drone in MacBeth..
