I... I don't get it

I thought the "angry black man" thing wasn't okay anymore?

DENZEL VIOLA
WASHINGTON DAVIS

fences in large part about the cultural environment of a particular neighborhood in pittsburgh with a rather distinctive economic and social history. it's a very difficult play to produce effectively.

As a dumb Pittsburgher who likes seeing his second tier city onscreen what are the essential Pittsburghcore movies? I got:

Dawn of the Dead
Fences
Out of the Furnace
Jack Reacher
Sudden Death
Dogma
Dark Knight Rises

The deer hunter

how does one person both act and direct a movie? how does that work?

Only Denzel and Morgan can play the angry black man really well.

I liked how it was like a stage play but the ending was goofy as fuck
The Sunset Limited too

They let the DP do all the camera work and occasionally tell another actor to do something

>occasionally tell another actor to do something
That was all the character did the whole movie too

No one on this board is going to understand this movie. It's for black people.

Fellow dumb yinzer here

Warrior
Love & Other Drugs
Next Three Days

Hell you can just wiki the rest

That's some method acting right there. 10/10 Denzel

The short story was pretty good.

>>79244583
how long into the movie did they say "swing for the fences"?

>>79244583
I haven't seen it but I'm assuming the white man was keeping him down so the only way he could get out of the ghetto was by stealing fences

>>79247882
never once

>It's for black people.
No black person will never understand the movie either.

>>79244583
It's alright. Really well acted. About 20 minutes too long.

What didn't you get, OP? Troy was a complex human being, who brought both good and bad into this world and couldn't be easily dismissed, at the end

>>79246642
Are you telling me they voted differently than every other black neighborhood in America?

If not, then what the fuck are you saying?

Washington Davis is a great jazz name

>>79248274
Is that really it?

>>79248274
OP here, i guess what i was wondering was whether the play had more drive to it. The performances were obviously top notch and they managed to make it very watchable, but it really dragged as a narrative, especially in the second half.

>>79248897
The play is better read than seen.
