Nah breh... And it's not to offend you. I mean I'm sure he's seen The Shining. But these other ones you named would take an actual movie buff to sit down and watch. Most people you know who have seen these, are movie buffs.

The thing everyone is missing is Denzel is saying he don't really watch movies like that. He wasn't really a fan of movies or acting until later in life, and even then, he still wasn't watching movies like that


It's a little different. Here's a perfect one... Most video game creators suck at video games and don't play them. They just know how to program. Most of the mechanics working on high end cars, nascar, and shyt like that, don't ever buy or drive them. They just know how to fix them. Floyd Mayweather doesn't watch boxing film. His coaches do and he just listens to them and goes off instinct.


You don't need to experience movies or even like them to be a great actor. Acting is a job. You can learn how other actors do it and take from them..... But you don't have to do that to have the ability to act like someone else


That's what I can believe and then everything else makes perfect sense. Seems y'all don't believe he's not a movie buff.. I don't know too many casual movie watchers who seen the three films you na
:why:

Denzel giving off that midlife crisis energy.
Yeahhhh idk this is like the third interview where he’s talking about some street shyt

And tbh I’m not buying it

Hate to see a legend have to overcompensate and resort to negative stereotypes after a career of having a clean image

I don’t know no street nikkas that went to fukking Fordham to take drama classes with fakkits

Seems odd to be an actor and not a fan of films.

I don't know too many people that worked in an industry for 40 years but don't really know anything about it.

like having a nurse who has never gotten a doctors checkup,

or a mechanic who has never driven a car. I guess you can still be good at your job without the other, but seems very unlikely. I would assume both were lying if they told me that. And that what i assume Denzel was doing here too. lying

he doesn't even have to be a fan of films, i would assume that at the very least, he would research a director who offered him a role in something he was considering, and maybe check out some of their work to be sure he is a good fit.
I think its more like being a chef, when you cook for a living cooking for enjoyment goes out the window.

A lot of actors don't like watching their own films, Depp and Phoenix are the same way iirc

Didn't he get sent away and start going to military school at like 14? What real street shyt could have he been doing at like 12, 13? You're right even in geriatric age cats still obsessed with having a street image :francis: .

Yet the want to blame it on Black women.


The fascination with the streets is to impress other MEN
