When two acting geniuses Denzel Washington and Viola Davis meet and give their best, and we have the Augusta Washington play, we must lift the hat out of respect before we hear the movie. In fact, I watched a lot of films and reviewed a lot of them, but I did not see a performance of this act accurately, and although I did not I read the play novel, this film will make me read it at once.
Denzel Washington, creativity in acting and directing, conveyed to us a masterpiece of the last century with the eyes of the present.
The story
The story tells us events from the last century in an inter-ethnic conflict at that time, when civilization was at its lowest level, and racism was prevalent at that time, forcing our hero to make very difficult decisions while raising his family. With the fine of the drama being completely different from the movie in terms of performance and footage, the film tried as much as possible to maintain the outstanding performance using some visual effects. It also helped the film succeed more than the story or influences. It is the amazing performance of Denzel Washington, who is said to be the least creative of a foot who presented the story to us in a way that made us live with the events and get affected. The film remained preserved on the reference sources of the play and preserved the original story and did not have to add any more inaccuracies or amend it.
An impression of the movie
The star shine with Washington in the movie he originally directed, but I think he made a huge mistake that had a negative impact on the film's revenues. Even the publicity for the film was not up to standard. The character of Denzel Washington in the movie was so strong that everyone around him hated him until his turbulent psychology pushed him to take revenge on everyone around him. His wife, Rose, was suffering from unprecedented duplication and performed wonderfully, although she was combing anger most of the time until she had self-control, which gives us an impression of the smart wife. So her performance was exceptional and very realistic, from the cries she used to crying out until she was creative. Although the film did not consume a lot of creativity, as it was wholly a quote from the play without any significant additions, the performance performed gave him the strength and success that the film won.
The film is a strong drama that addresses sensitive issues such as betrayal, prejudice, crime, punishment, anger of the son, father, and patience, but there were violent abuses in many of the clips, despite the fact that the film It does not contain any sexual suggestion, but the exaggerated violence does not flow with young viewers.
Cinematography
The movie did not need much effort from filming like other films like Passengers or visual effects and high graphics like the Rock movies if the movie was shot with the iPhone x camera for success. The attention was not focused on the creative and different shots. Rather, the film depended on psychological calm, even when photographing. The photography was closer to the monologues in the play, where the camera stands and lets us follow the shot as if we were watching in front of our eyes without any distraction from the frequent transfer of the camera. Directing was really special from Washington, as was his acting.
Finally, all the characters are realistic and wrong, and as an exceptional and interesting work through which the directing capabilities of Denzel Washington and the acting talents appear. The film deserved the awards and nominations that he received.
