Sending this video to Beggar's Corner to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter Tofumar.

His back is a roadmap of pain... or pleasure? I think he liked it.

My god what a great sift. I watched this film when I was young too and it remains to this day one of my favourites. It literally makes me weep every time I watch it. Powerful stuff

I've never seen this but i'll give it a try. To my mind, Denzel's best, most untouchable, enduring performance, and probably one of my favourite acting jobs of all time, is from Training Day. Any part of that film sees him displaying a fine piece of acting - away from his normal character 'comfort zone'. But worthy of note is one of the final scenes, when his neighborhood turns on him, and his viciously yelled speech about "playing basketball in pelican bay, shu program, 23 hour lockdown"!

Crooked cop fixing up a young guy in order to pull some strings, it's one of my favourite films not because of the unique and fun story (though it is fun), but almost entirely because of Denzel's acting.

Not in the same vein by any means, but i thought i'd share.

For some reason I was fascinated with the image of the guy's head exploding in one of the early battle scenes of "Glory."

If you look closely at one point in this film, there is an 'extra' who plays a soldier in the regiment wearing a digital watch. Oops.

This is a good scene. It demonstrates the blind racism that persisted (and persists) in the U.S., and how minorities bear the brunt of this racism, not only as individuals, but as symbols. The country cannot have minority heroes, because the prejudice mythology runs too deeply.

And with each whip, both characters learn this. Powerful indeed.
Personally, I liked Denzel best in Ricochet. "Look at me, top 'o the world!"

Wow this is awesome. I watched this film when I was young as well and it remains today one of my favourites. It actually makes me shed a tear every time I watch it. Awesome.

He was just trying to get himself some shoes!

I wonder was that tear real? Powerful either way.
