Fences: Great acting doesn't equal great drama

After watching it for ten minutes, I really can't do it, even if the Oscar has nominations for Best Picture and Best Actor, because I originally watched it for this reason, but even the synopsis of this text looks more exciting than the movie itself. many! Most of the lengthy movie is completed by the dialogue in the backyard at home. I admit that the crying scene of the female supporting role is really good, but it can't redeem the careless plot setting of the movie. It’s true that this movie can cure insomnia. The tone of black people’s babbling is all one tone. In the end, I fell asleep without watching it anyway. It cannot be ruled out that it did realise the black life of the bottom of the era, the disdain of the straight male cancer male protagonist, the harmonious family chatter at the beginning, the hidden story behind it, the ugliness of life shown after the lies were exposed, and there are still turning points. , that is, they were buried by almost two-thirds of the film's chatter, and it suddenly seemed worthless. Pity. But Denzel Washington's performance is still very good, the actor is estimated to have a play, and Casey Affleck has an opponent. But personally, I think Casey's performance is more profound, even if you see his real body offstage, you will still bring emotions into it and feel that he is still the miserable male protagonist. Actors who give life to a character are truly good actors.
