I hope Denzel continues to direct movies like this. Young teenagers could really identify with Troy and Rose's youngest son, Cory, as well. The themes of family, work, as well as relationships, really are universal and applicable to both young and old.

WEEKLY WRITING CHALLENGE MOVIE

I really would recommend this movie to ANYONE. Troy, being from the south who came to the north, represents this experience, and the great discrimination that he faces in seeking better employment, but also his eventual success in achieving some level of equality as a worker, shows a comprehensive look at the progress of African Americans in our country at this time. This movie/play also speaks to the history of the African-American experience in modern America. Some lines that I will never forget were 'You got to keep the crookeds' with the straights.' The dialogue in the play is very idiomatic of the time period as well as the dialect that the characters speak as native, blue-collar working people living outside of Pittsburgh in post-WWII America. This was truly a stunning performance by a couple of the best actors living today playing a married couple of such great complexity. Viola Davis is one of the best actresses of our time and her performance as rose in Fences speaks to that as well! The range emotions that she is able to convey is amazing, and Denzel and her compliment each other so well as actors.

I was thrilled to see her in another powerful female role, since I love her performance as Analise Keating in ABC's How to Get Away With MurderВ as well as the movie Doubt starring her friend, Meryl Streep. Viola Davis is the secret gem of the cast. The characters are all so memorable, including Troy and Rose's sons, as well as the friends of Troy, who are played well by their actors. You should think about the beginning, middle and ending. A short story is normally between 1,000 to 10,000 words long. Using the prompt above, your task is to write a short story. It's a true, fact-based story about broken dreams. I would love to see this play on Broadway if it ever comes back to the Great White Way. Write a short story about a well-dressed student who has run away. There is very few moments in the play where special effects are used or music is heard, but there are a few breaks that signal what would be the scene changes. The film is shot just like a play, with dialogue taking the front seat.

I think the writing of the play is superb, and I love how true the film is to the play. This movie is based on a play by August Wilson which was on Broadway in the 1980s. Denzel's performance is 'self-directed,' and he does an impeccable job at channeling all of the energy of the main, tragic character of the drama, Troy.

That to me is one of the most impressive things about this film. I really think Denzel should be nominated for Best Director as well. Also, I am surprised that this movie was not nominated for more awards at the Golden Globes, but I am hoping that the Academy Awards will nominated both Denzel and Viola again. I was amazed by the performances of the lead actors, Denzel Washington and Viola Davis. I recently saw the movie Fences at an independent movie theater in Asbury Park during winter break.
