we can notice the talk about the movie Fences, especially since its evaluation, for example, on the famous site of rotten tomatoes, reached 95 percent, and this number is not always easy.
When the film sheds light on how a person’s defeats and frustrations are reflected even on those he loves and their closest relatives, then only at this point he has touched part of our lives and ourselves in one way or another.
At first glance, the movie may show you the barriers that may surround a person only because of its color or shape, but after the end of nearly an hour of watching the movie it turns out that this is only one of those barriers and perhaps least of them, especially as it is related to a certain period of time, but the real walls in the life of the common man have no end.
The story of the movie
The film revolves around two main characters, the strict husband “Troy” and his role as the great actor (Denzel Washington) who was nominated for this year's Academy Award as the best actor in a major role and also directed this work, and the dedicated wife “Rose” who is performed by the actress (Viola Davis Also nominated for this year's Academy Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.
The story of the film revolves in the year 1950 in the American city of Pittsburgh, about the lives of a married couple, their son and their dear friend. The movie tracks our hero in the details of his day as he works, while he spends his time with his family and friends, and he also cries his ruins and exudes his old stories in a sarcastic and sometimes funny way, full of pain and sadness at other times.
“Troy” (the illiterate man and the former prisoner in addition to his own allegorical prison behind the baseball bat) spoke a lot in this long talk movie, which lasts for approximately two hours and twenty minutes.
His brother "Gabriel" or "pocket", who suffers from a brain injury, the impact of his participation in the Second World War, which affected his mental ability and balance, which has now become a source of inconvenience to people and pedestrians. (People will simply not bear the consequences of bloody wars, even if they are promoted in their path.)
All this combination shows the character of the hero who, at first sight, the great head of the family who narrates the streets and alleys with his boyfriend and his efforts, strives for the summit to live, even in the simplest and most despicable actions, and that rebel who demands his right to drive a waste car instead of collecting it looks like his white colleague with monitoring all his attempts Desired to obtain his promotion at work, it appears that the husband who loves his wife and is passionate about her even after the nearly 18 years have passed since their marriage and his love for her remains dewy.
The events of the film continue to go smoothly, to show successively that, as anyone exhausted by faults, deficiencies and defeats, whose implications are reflected on his family, the nation buried by his parents, his past in the old prison, baseball, and a lot of racism that he faced, all this is monitored in the film smoothly and wonderfully.

Barriers and fences
Most of the scenes of the movie were taken in the back garden of the house in front of the fence, which the wife "Rose" would like to do with his presence in a lot of dialogue included, his presence in the protagonists' dialogues, in the baseball ball hanging next to him, and in the talk of a lifetime friend "Bono" the white man with unlimited patience who His friend awakens in time, all this reinforces the symbolism of this barrier that lies in the barriers of the past with all the nation and its experiences and lies in the present as a miserable attempt to protect those we love.
The personality of the wife Rose is like a rose dedicated to every brunette woman who grows on such walls and separators, her white heart, her love for her husband, her dedication and sincerity and her husband's love for her also despite the surprises mined in the folds of this love but she remains a rose that gives the arid to everyone around her spontaneously and unprepared even if They ended up at a critical point and another fence.
