Beautifully
made and heart touching, is the Antwone Fisher story.
Denzel Washington directed a masterpiece in his directorial
debut. The movie is based on a true story about a troubled,
sometimes violent, young navy man who comes face to
face with the terrible, horrifying, trauma of his childhood.
A screen newcomer, Derek Luke, plays Fisher, a violent
navy man who deals with the pain of his  childhood
as an abused foster child. Model Joy Bryant who was
featured in the Eddie Murphy comedy Show time, played
the gentle, supportive girlfriend Cheryl.
Antwone’s childhood experiences may put you to
tears. However, in the next few moments you will be
left rejoicing because of how he overcame his struggle,
more so because of the odds Fisher overcame. The Antwone
Fisher story will inspire you, it certainly inspired
me. It conveys a message that no matter what you been
through, no matter the odds, no matter how many people
you have against you, you can still come out on top
and be victorious. |
“Antwone
Fisher” is based on a true story that is uplifting;
it makes you want to reach out and touch somebody. Personally,
one of the most touching movies I’ve ever seen,
“Antwone Fisher” explores the many depths
of a young man who was been through it all. From being
tied down to a pole and beaten, raped, even terrorized,
Fisher still managed to triumph and over come all the
f*cked up shit he’s been through in his childhood.
Before I saw the movie, I didn’t realize how much
my family meant to me. We as imperfect humans tend to
forget the impact our family has on our lives. Fisher
made it through his childhood with an image of a mother,
but never getting a chance to know one. He survived
on the basis that by just holding on a little longer,
he’ll make it through everything.
Simply put, “Antwone Fisher” is a must see
movie. If you’re into true stories that touches
your heart and make you burst out in tears, go see this
movie. “Antwone Fisher” helps us to appreciate
our lives and our families while the story also gives
us hope and makes us treasure those who inspire us. |

Day’s” Best Actor Academy Award winning Denzel
Washington is the military psychiatrist who slowly breaks
down Fishers past to help him get through life without
the pain holding him down. The movie takes place around
San Diego, a city with many military bases, and Fishers
hometown Cleveland. The Antwone Fisher movie is a movie
that brings out raw emotions that are usually lost in
a person. It showed clips of him as a child and the
things he went through, the way he got beat and mistreated.
Then it shows how Fisher gets over his struggle with
the past, with his girlfriend there to comfort him.
It makes you feel his hurt and pain, his hate and love,
his struggle. |
“Antwone
Fisher” explores the boundaries of thousands of
foster care children who are still fighting for a stable
and loving
family in their lives. “It (Fisher’s Story)
touches on issues that have sort of been kept quiet,
stayed within the home. That’s one of the reasons
why Antwone wanted his story told, to speak out to all
those others who might be in hiding, or are struggling
with it, that they also can survive.” –
