    It's very interesting to see how they modulate their performances for the stage as opposed to for the camera. They have to be larger on stage than on film.
  • THE WAY HE SAID “I DON’T WANT HIM TO BE LIKE ME”. IF ONLY PARENTS TOLD THEIR CHILDREN THAT EVERY DAY
  • "AINT NOBODY GON' HOLD HIS HAND WHEN HE GET OUT IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
  • Viola is so passionate! What an incredible woman.. and Denzel, as always, dynamite!

    Never let your own bitterness and anger cloud the sky full of beautiful moments you could be having with your kids. No child should ever have to deal with their own parents bias and vitriol as an extra chore.
  • My pops told me when I was a little kid, "Dont be like me. I work hard every day with my hands, knees and back. Go to school, and work with your mind. DONT BE LIKE ME." It was hard to hear something like that, because as a kid, your dad is like a king. But he made me realize that I needed to take the chances in life that he never got to take. He made me understand that he was putting up with a hard life, so I wouldn't have to. When he retired, I moved him in with me and my family. He sees me wake up every day and go to work at a college.

    give my left kidney to see this live. 
  • This is a story about a father and son trying to love each other the only way they know how. I was blessed to have a father that was able to express that deep, unconditional love that parents have for their children, and if he had to get a belt, it was cause I earned it. Shit, it breaks my heart watching this and I have NOTHING in my life that truly parallels Troy, Rose, and Cory's struggles, but I can empathize with folks that have great difficulty facing their shortcomings, failures, and disappointment in the hand life dealt them and it hurts my heart to see it play out. That said, as I grow, I begin to realize that all the negative we experience in life allows for the good to shine even brighter, ring more clearly, and remain in our memories long after the bad goes away. These two things, the triumphs of life AND the struggles, are what make life beautiful, what make life worth living. I'd like to believe Cory learned this lesson, albeit in a very difficult way, and that the lessons his father (both spoken and unspoken) gave him molded Cory into a wonderful human being.

    I was crying so hard at the end of this production when I saw it 3 weeks ago in Minneapolis.
