Fences is a very good movie, as a Broadway acted movie, it is one of Denzel Washington's finest. the movie which tackles the father and son relationship and the true selfishness in the " I know what's best for you " statement. Shows that sometimes fences are done to keep people in, rather than keeping intruders out The movie flows out In 1950s Pittsburgh, where Troy Maxson (Denzel Washington) lives with his wife Rose (Viola Davis) and their son Cory (Jovan Adepo), and works as a waste collector alongside his best friend, Jim Bono (Stephen Henderson). Troy's younger brother, Gabriel Maxson (Mykelti Williamson), who sustained a head injury in World War II that left him mentally impaired, for which he received a $3,000 government payout that Troy used to purchase a home for his family. Gabriel has since moved out, but still lives in the neighborhood, often getting in trouble with the law for his eccentric behavior, which includes religious fixations.
In his adolescence, Troy left home from his abusive father and became a robber to sustain himself. After killing a man during a robbery led him to prison, he met Bono and revealed himself to be a talented baseball player. He then played in the professional Negro Leagues; but he never made it to Major League Baseball, which had no black players in the years before 1947. When Bono says that Troy was born too soon, Troy rejects this choice of words and insists that he was passed over due to the color of his skin. Having survived a near-fatal bout of pneumonia in his youth, Troy claims to have done so by defeating the Grim Reaper in a fistfight, upon which the Reaper vowed to return for a rematch
Filled with a lot silent suffering in movie as the characters hope to maintain a hope of sanity amidst the clashing of dreams and disappointments, Troy being a failed baseball player doesnt want his son to go through life dissapointed because of the colour of his skin A decision, his brother who in vying for a better life for himself returns from the war shell shocked and delusional so that Troy could "have a pot to piss in"
The fences that had to be built is symbolic for the actual fences that are built in the family as you try to create boundaries in a two room apartment and earn your respect as a human being
The fences Troy had built with his 38 years old son for being an absentee father, haunts him as he now comes back to meet him for little loans as he took to music as the only thing that makes him wake up in the morning, The Fences made Cory say "Every where i go i see him, i cant grow out of his shadow, even under the bed i feel him breathing on me"
All your life fight all your life to grow out the shadow of your father as he imposes his will and command on you Cory feels this way and feeling cheated out a football scholarship based on a personal bad experience felt too much to handle and not attending his burial almost felt like the best way to pay him back and say no to him once in your life but when the trumpet of Gabriel opened up the sky figuratively for Troy to go to heaven all truly is forgiven and we understanding truly that God doesn't judge us like humans do. Even though we battle the Grim Reaper and the Devil hounds selected people who might be shell shocked dedicated their time to help us chase them and sometimes give closure to a beautiful film with a lot to teach.
