James Earl Jones' performance puts Denzel Washington's performance to SHAME!

Courtney b Vance looks so scared

Getting called nigga by darth vader is crazy work

Extremely powerful scene. It’s a shame people glean the wrong lessons from it.

its like he reached down deep inside and dragged this out from past experiences. This was great, and you could feel his anger coming out with every word spoken. phenomenal.

DAMN!!! Goosebumps all over me!!!! That man was AWESOME!!!!

James Earl Jones was one of the best stage performers ever and this is a perfect example of

I wish everyday that broadway plays were shown in theaters nationwide live. Or even bluray releases

So he is speaking thru his pain and validating his own failures as just. The son just needs a little compassion and if his father won't give it to him. The world, aka other people most certainly won't. Great acting in a bad scene when the son walks away broken

James Earl Jones and Courtney B Vance. What a scene!

Holy cow I just shit my damn self watching this

🙏🏾🕊💐

Fathers like this don’t deserve the kids they have. My Grandad grew up as a black man in the Great Depression, did everything from building a house, to fighting in wars, and NEVER made his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids feel like they weren’t loved. Any parent that says something like “I feed you, I clothed you, I put a root over your head” like that’s something to brag about and not the bare minimum is a scumbag that doesn’t deserve their kids.

That's not a portrayal of a good dad at all. I see a power tripping boomer bullying and belittling and likely traumatizing his kid.

Omg I even clapped 👏🏽 at the end. Lol 🤣 that was amazing acting.

Id rather have a father who likes and loves me.

Man, I’m about to watch it again 🥹

The guy who play as his son also played as a mentally disabled man in a 1996 movie called The Boys Next Door .. good actor as well

thank you

So he doesnt like him.

Never forgotten...ever🤟🏾💯💯💯🕊

Imagine how prosperous America would be if everyone had a father like this.

Well damn, Jones brought the house down with that.

"Stern" father? No. Abusive father.

life lesson to every son !

Pineapple on pizza: "How come you ain't never liked me?" Me: 0:32

I just remixed this classic. Father's MUST lead their son, if the son will not follow, who's fault is that?

That's theater as it should be. People talking to each other.

James Earl Jones, stern father to the whole world.

Courtney b been handsome❤

This is racist af

He holds him upright because he knows a man needs support sometimes, but when a man can support himself, he can accomplish anything. Teaching him that - that's love.

If I ever woulda had enough money to buy a home, I'd have had children.

I feel pretty force choked up now.

Powerful stuff right here

I really needed to see this...rest in peace, Mr. Jones 🙏

This is misleading, that abusive piece of shit is a lazy fuck who has never respected the people he works for, he wants nothing more than to slap his wife and children around. He is a brute, unintwrested in money and in love with being a king. What the play doesnt say is that entiteled bitch boomer will never in his fucking life stop hiding the fact that he raped and abused you and forcing you to feel bad about it while he gets paid for it. This is what no arts loser can tell you

What good actors!

RIP LEGEND

Rest Well King

First time I’ve seen this. It brought me to tears. I lost my Father 2 years ago. He was tough like this , but he did ALWAYS tell me he loved me.

I just watched this exact same scene from the movie and Denzel Washington couldn’t hold a candle to James Earl Jones

is the entire play with Mr. Jones available anywhere?

Denzel bodied his interpretation its damn near identical

He didn't really answer the question lol.

Powerful 😮

Yes sir

Rest in power my Leftist comrade.🫡🌹♥️✌🏼

People really misinterpret this scene holy f*ck, there’s nothing to be endorsed here, it’s really tragic actually

Good acting but def exaggerated
