After watching "Fences", I felt a lot. A movie that obeys and does not obey the rules of Hollywood drama. The rhythm is slow and filled with a lot of lines. When I see it at the end, it confirms my feelings. This film is adapted from a drama. The history of the characters and the events of the story are almost all explained with lines. This method is simply a test of the actors' performance, but the performances of Denzel and Viola do not need to be repeated, they are exquisite and extremely ornamental. Occasionally think about it, this movie only has more scene switching speed than the stage play, relying on the story itself and the tension of the actors' performances. The film is to outline the various contradictions of an ordinary family, the contradictions between characters and characters, between characters and self, and nothing else. What makes people watch and think deeply is the fate of characters and characters. The story itself is extremely simple, and there is almost no ups and downs in the three-act series, and there is no such thing as a double twist. The fixed scene is the backyard, completely copied (though I haven't seen it) in the style of the play. This reminds me of "The Tea House". Good movies are all the same, created at the right time and place. Although I can't say how classic "Fences" is, how awesome it is. But it does touch me and bring me in. As a spectator, that's enough. Think about it with the current Chinese market thinking, "Fences" is an IP movie, the male protagonist is not likable, the story is very old-fashioned, there is no topicality, and there is no small fresh meat, even if it is an old drama, the investor Basically can't watch this kind of play. Is "Fences" really good? Is it boring? Is it a good movie?

  • Rose: I took all my feelings, my wants and needs and dreams, and I buried them inside you. I planted a seed and watched and prayed over it. I planted myself inside you and waited to bloom! And it didn't take me no 18 years to realize the soil was hard and rocky, and it wasn't never gonna bloom!
