movie, which has won several awards.

The movie sets out on a mission to make the viewers feel as if they are in the
scene and it has succeeded mainly as audience reactions range from awe-stunned
silence to cries of pain.


A GUT-WRENCHING DIRECTORIAL MASTERPIECE IS NOW STREAMING ON NETFLIX

Denzel Washington must have felt his heart out while directing the 2016 movie,
Fences, for the themes that it brought upon touched right into every nook and
cranny of the viewers’ hearts. Based on a Pulitzer-prize-winning drama of the
same name by August Wilson, Washington’s portrayal and bringing it to life is
nothing short of a spectacle. The movie also stars Washington’s frequent
collaborator, Viola Davis, and progress while centering around the themes of
love, betrayal, racism, and emotions in the most touching of ways.



The cast, which beautifully narrates the story of infidelity, father-son
relationships, and society’s harsh, blatant reality, moved audiences to tears.
Remarkably, some of the performances were so heart-wrenching that a few viewers
felt the need to close their eyes as they played on screens. The direction and
cinematography by Washington involved long takes to have the actors shine in
every scene. 

Additionally, the visual contrast that the movie brings with its photography
spurs life into an otherwise lost history. The movie went on to win several
nominations and awards, including an Oscar for Viola Davis and an AFI Award for
Movie of the Year. A movie for those who truly believe in cinema, Denzel
Washington gave his best acting and directorial performances in Fences. The
movie is now streaming on Netflix.

However, Denzel Washington’s tryst with period dramas was never over with
Fences. The actor, director, and producer also nurtured another masterpiece that
marked the last performance of Marvel’s late Black Panther actor, Chadwick
Boseman.


A DENZEL WASHINGTON PRODUCTION MARKED THE FINAL PERFORMANCE OF THE LATE CHADWICK
BOSEMAN

Denzel Washington once again took out a play from August Wilson in 2020 with
director George C. Wolfe in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. Featuring Viola Davis and
the late Chadwick Boseman, the movie received widespread critical acclaim and
immense praise from the viewers. Featuring on the list of one of the best
African-American casts in an ensemble

the movie ticked every right box. 



Again riding on Washington’s signature camera styles and excellent narratives,
the movie was once again, just like Fences, a very moving piece. The acting by
Boseman was unparalleled, as he leveraged every scene to its maximum potential.
Also, Viola Davis gave her best performance yet with an emotional stir to the
heart. Overall, Denzel Washington’s style, talent, and ability to tug on
viewers’ hearts are a rarity in original filmmaking.
