    • Insightful
This movie is a masterpiece, I wonder why there are so many negative reviews. It is a story of love, commitment, mistakes, missed opportunities, responsibilities, forgiveness, and most importantly it is centered on family. Story of a black man, Troy, post world war 2 era, who struggles to make a decent living for his family. Through his playful dialogue, we are taken through Troy's struggles as a child. We learn that he is one of eleven children. His father was a farmer. His mother abandoned them when he was 9. At 14 after a fight with his father, over his girlfriend whom his father was trying to take advantage of, he is left greatly injured. He flees to the city, walking close to 200 miles by foot. Once he gets there, there are no jobs for colored people, there also isn't housing available. Along with other black men, he lives in man-made shelters by the river banks. He resorts to stealing for food, and then for shoes as he says it. He meets the mother of his first child Lyons, and when Lyons is born, he feels the responsibility to take care of Lyons and his mother, and now has to steal "3 times more." During his last hand robbery, he is shot to the chest, and jumps at his shooter with a knife. He inadvertently kills the man, and is sent to jail for 15 years. While he was in jail, Lyons mom moved on, and Lyons is raised without a father figure. When he gets out of jail he meets and marries Rose the mother of his son Cory, who is in his teenage years and is been scouted by a recruiter to play baseball in college. Troy is very reluctant to the idea of Cory playing baseball in college. During his jail sentence, Troy met Bono, his now best friend, who introduced him to baseball. He is highly successful at baseball, but as we later learn, he would never make it to the major league, because of his age (40), or as he believes because of his color. He harbors a deep mistrust of white men. This plays a large role in his decision to refuse to sign for his second son Cory to play baseball in college. He believes his son should aspire to greater things, although we are unsure of what. This is a reason of constant tension between Cory and Troy. Cory believing that his dad is just afraid that he will be more successful than Troy ever was. During this time we learn that Troy has been cheating on Rose with a lady called Alberta, and that Alberta is expecting. Cory loses all respect for his dad, whom he believes mistreat his mother. One day when coming back home. he finds his dad drunk on the porch of the house, a fight ensues. and Cory leaves home. He will enlist in the navy and return as a corporal only later when his died passed and its time for his burial. In this movie there is no doubt that Troy loves his wife Rose. He says it several times himself. He states he is only with Alberta because she helps him escape his responsibilities, and allows him to be another kind of man. Although he confesses to Rose his affair when Alberta is expecting, he never leaves Rose. He comes back home everyday, and never sleeps out. He faithfully hands his check to rose every Friday as he always has, and for her to hand him back his allowance. He keeps his responsibilities to his family as a husband and father, as he tells his son Cory during one of their arguments. Unfortunately, Alberta dies in childbirth. Rose takes Raynell, Alberta's daughter to raise her as her own. The end of the movie is a reunion for the family. Troy is dead of a heart attack. Lyons has excused from his jail sentence to attend his dad funeral; he is serving a 3 years sentence for check fraud. Raynell is a young beautiful girl who calls Rose mama, and seems passionate about gardening. Cory is back from the navy, where he was also released for his father funeral. He has done well for himself, he has achieved the rank of corporal. We see Gabe who was also release form his instutution to attend his bother's funeral. Gabriel is the only sibling with whom Troy had kept in touch. After WWII, he was mentally impaired, and Troy was responsible for him. It is with his pension that Troy was able to buy the home where he and his family lived. Gabriel was arrested due to disturbing the peace. Troy who couldn't read, made a mistake and signed papers whom he believed where release papers, when they were in fact papers giving orders to for institutionalise Gabriel. Due to Troy's mistake, Gabriel has been institutionalized. We also see Bono, Troy's bestfriend from jail. Bono is pleased to see Cory, and tells him that Troy knew he was meant for greatness. Everyone congratulates Cory for his achievements. Cory says he wants to come back, but Lyons warns him against it. Cory gets to bond with his younger sister Raynell, who now sleeps in his old room. Beautiful movie. Watch it. ... show more

    • Fences is A Beautiful Story; A Must-See
"You got to take the crookeds with the straights. That's what Papa used to say." The Papa in question is Troy, played by Denzel Washington. This line is the perfect summary for a great movie about ordinary folk who struggle to make “good” lives for their children, if not for themselves, as they struggle with the cards they were dealt. I love fences because it uses many layers of storytelling to give an intimate portrayal of Troy’s life in relation to his family. One example of detail: catch the scenes with the pouring of libations. I have watched the movie three times already because the character development is so rich and entertaining. The drama and the characters are fully formed. From the start, the movie pulls the audience in. In the opening moments, we are pulled into a funny exchange between Troy and his colleague/friend Bono. The dialog is funny, and simultaneously discomforting for Troy’s use of racial epithets. The content of their dialog is their “work.” Immediately, we see Troy as a confident, hard-working black man who is not afraid to agitate for promotion to truck driver. In those opening scenes, as the two men pick up garbage and inspect trash cans, we are drawn into the context of segregation and the struggles of Black people to get ahead in a 1950’s northern city. In snippets, we see that Troy is a thinking man with street savvy. Work, and Troy’s relationship to work, scaffolds the movie, and it offers some elements of tension. What could have happened had Troy lost in his agitation for promotion to garbage truck driver? Note that despite his confidence, one cannot help but feel the same nervous apprehension when Troy finally has the meeting with his boss at the Sanitation Department. Within the scaffolding of work, it is Troy’s relationships with his wife, Rose (played by Viola Davis), their children, his brother, and Bono, that make this movie special. It is a pleasure to laugh and drink with Troy and Bono. Even if one is not the drinking type, the sharing and banter and good cheer are infectious. It is heart-warming to witness the loving, relationship between Rose and Troy. The two of them play their roles so wholesomely that if feels as if they believe their love is real. And then it hurts like heck to witness the relationship collapse under the weight of their pretenses. Privately, both knew their marriage was functional but lacked individual fulfillment for either. The movie hints at the complexity of marriage bonds but leaves some of the mystery alone. We cannot know everything the couple share. The movie has some surprising twists. For example, Rose chooses to raise Troy’s baby, Raynell, by Troy’s mistress, Alberta. But in doing so, Rose functionally divorces her husband with this line: “From right now … this child got a mother. But you a womanless man.” And with that, Rose becomes married to her church. It’s telling that Rose is the one who wakes Troy up with the news that his lover is dead. At that moment, it becomes clear that Troy can’t create the wholesome life for his war-hero brother, Gabe, his family or himself. He simultaneously loses the two women who mean the most to him. He loses the respect of his friend, Bono. He fights with his son Cory and loses the little respect the boy had for him. One starts to feel how lonely it is to be Troy or Rose. But both keep “it together” as they struggle with their respective hurts and responsibilities. Troy continues to provide for his family and preserve the continuity of a home life. There is even a hint of marital reconciliation when Rose tries to get Troy to come home at a normal hour. But neither Troy nor Rose, lose love for Gabe. Troy, the man, takes his “crokeds with his straights” well. He maintains a strong moral compass to do the right things for his children and provide for his family. He is a proud man who doesn’t want to “owe” anybody. He doesn’t cave under the weight of his responsibilities. Not even at his lowest moments, e.g., while sitting on the steps holding baby Raynell, he does not descend into self-pity. Maybe Troy could have been less hard on his sons. Troy desperately wants to protect his sons from the disappointments of a segregated society that would not allow a talented black man to play major league baseball. Troy’s “solution” for his boys is work as he understands work. This singular point of view may have hurt Cory’s prospects to play football. While he furiously demands it, Troy only earns the respect of his boys after his death. And after Troy dies, it becomes clear that while he consumed so much of the oxygen of Fences, his brand of fierce love resonated deeply with his family and friends. Rose, it seems, understood her husband deeply. Witness the scene near the end where Rose fiercely confronts their son Cory when the latter decides he doesn’t want to go to Troy’s funeral. In the end, Cory’s heart is softened by Raynell’s invocation of the memory of their Father through song. “ "Blue laid down and died like a man. Now he's treeing possums in the Promised Land." And Gabe raised his hand and raised his Trumpet. The gate slammed shut. Gabe played a long note. Gabe said, “That’s the way that go!” If you enjoy well-told and acted drama of the stuff of Americana, you will enjoy Fences for telling an intimate story within a multi-dimensional family and social context. ... show more

    • Denzel Washington and Viole Davis hour finest.
Troy Maxson makes his living as a sanitation worker in 1950s Pittsburgh. Maxson once dreamed of becoming a professional baseball player, but was deemed too old when the major leagues began admitting black athletes. Bitter over his missed opportunity, Troy creates further tension in his family when he squashes his son's chance to meet a college football recruiter. ... show more

    • Complex
The first half hour or more is so boring I thought about quitting this one. The male lead has so much ego and bravado, you just want to punch him in the face. It gets better and you get to see into a family with a father that seems to put his family first on paper but never really does and the heartache that brings. The acting in this was excellent. ... show more

If for no other reason, watch this film to see Viola Davis give one of the most amazing performances you've seen. She brings strength and dignity to the role of a woman who's gradually had pieces of her strength and dignity stripped from her but manages to navigate her indignities with grace, dignity, and a will of iron. She alone makes the film worth watching. (I'll admit to not being a huge D. Washington fan, but he's also great in the film and, as director, he's generally very good.) ... show more

    • Very good film
I liked the dialogue and the actors were up to the task of such a serious film. It's based off a stage play so much of the movie takes place in very few settings and it's heavy on dialogue. If you like then you will probably like One Night in Miami which is also based off a stage play.
