Antwone Fisher - 8 stars out of 10
This movie uses the great technique of slowly revealing details of the main character's life to allow the audience to progressively understand what motivates this character's actions. This story adds a bonus - after we begin to understand the character's actions, he then goes on a personal journey to find his roots in a great exploration of "Man vs. Himself". I love that this is a true story and anybody that went to Grove City College should be interested to know that in real life, Antwone Fisher graduated from George Junior Republic School. Denzel Washington is incredible, as always. Joy Bryant was absolutely charming and was probably the most vivid character in the entire movie. Antwone offers a very moving speech at the end, and it was worth watching the entire movie just for this incredible movie moment. Good acting, realistic characters, and a well-written screen play make this an enjoyable film for anybody in a dramatic mood.
