This is when I realized Will Smith was possibly the best black actor of our gen

Really only Denzel comes close

Went from oscar nominated roles to not mentioned at all.

i wish will would do some low-key indy type flicks where he could really show off his acting more. I also loved his performance in I am legend, even though that movie was kinda meh and I can't watch it again because of the goddamn dog

I think Denzel is better though.

That ending scene in Pursuit is amongst the finest overall ACTING he's ever done. He sold the shyt out of that scene. I think Will goes underrated as a an Actor

Six Degrees Of Separation
Enemy Of The State
Ali
Pursuit Of Happyness
I Am Legend


All showed his range as an actor

As he gets up there in age, he probably will start doing a few indy flicks.

I fukks with Will...I like the fact that he started his own shyt.



^ Him and his business partner with Overbrook Entertainment, John Lassiter.

More bruthas in entertainment need to be doing this type of stuff. We need a Master P/Diddy of film.

Will has only really put his immediate family on at this point, but I would love to see him really have a go at a small studio, and even recruit outside black talent. John Boyega (Star Wars dude) is about to be a massive name for instance...why not put together a project with him?

Regardless....

Although i love Pursuit of Happyness.. i cant really stand Will. he tends to play the same guy and most of his movies are the same. Pursuit though was very good.

I won't even lie, when I watched that scene in the cinema.. I shed a tear breh. To see breh make it..

Jamie's never been such a draw but he's had better performances and the more definitive role. Denzel's obviously #1.

Jamie's skillset is more diverse and he's taken more risk in roles. He's also willing to not be the top bill or main character which helps.

I think now that he's made his money and he doesn't have the "Mr. Box Office" hype all around him anymore he will take more risks and show more range.

This. Will's last good movie was like 10 years ago. He's been stale since doing the generic hollywood movies with no depth to his roles.

this movie smacked the shyt out my soul
i only watched it once
took my mother to see it when it dropped
i will never watch it again
EVER!!!

Coli Bro @saysumthinfunnymike, beat me to it

...Will breaking down in Uncle Phil arm, is when I knew he was more than just a one-trick-pony(no pun)

"Why he don't love me," ETHER'd a 90s kid soul, cuz of how much it was relatable
