Malcolm & John David Washington Break Down a Scene From 'The Piano Lesson' | Vanity Fair

[@biancaeze14]

They make me proud and I'm not even related to them. The way they explained this scene was beyond artistic and visionary. They speak like modern day Renaissance men. Great job Mr. and Mrs. Washington for raising your kids wonderfully. I'm excited to see the art and storytelling created in this film. ❤❤❤

[@monica5146]

[@PrettyAssassin]

[@rmarciano491]

YES

[@JARVISK600]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@NixBurkett1984]

John David not only looks like their Dad but talks like him too. I am most definitely going to be watching this movie.

[@Sew-Ronica]

This song made me cry. The energy was full of passion and despair.

[@heather6457]

Malcolm and John Davids' breakdown of this scene was explained to perfection. I really enjoyed their insights! I love their vision and perspective.

[@MarcellaMiddleton]

Completely stole ya’ll mom’s whole face but David sounds just like Denzel, I love that so much!!!!

[@giorgiomarte9131]

It's weird cuz in the movie he looks just like his dad. Tripped me out lol

[@marsha1758]

This was my favorite scene!! The sound of the stomping and the dishes rattling gave me this nostalgic feeling. Like visiting my grandmother in the country during the summer and listening to my family gather and sing church songs.

[@filmadcamp1512]

Malcolm reminding me a lot of Ryan Coogler in terms of his calm energy.

[@sk8mafia214]

Yeah, I realized that too about him in his GQ video he did recently as well

[@filmadcamp1512]

@sk8mafia214 Yessss

[@aminatadiong8419]

Not only were they able to break down the intricate details in the scene, the music and the story line, they managed to relate it all the real life, what has happened in the past and what’s happening in the present. Incredible!!!!!❤️

[@montenegroafro4454]

“You couldn’t wait to do that.” “I couldn’t wait I couldn’t f*kin wait.” 😂 Love these two brothers!

[@Komediennekymd2009]

Great breakdown & Malcolm did a wonderful job with this. Phenomenal acting.

[@GodsChild4Ever446]

I’m watching it again for the 5th time…. It’s absolutely brilliant on so many levels of revolving and revolution of the soul into acceptance that leads to peace. Very well done 👍🏿

[@Komediennekymd2009]

Watched it tonight. U have to appreciate actors , acting & and storytelling to truly appreciate this movie. 🙌🏾🔥

[@michellerosebrown]

Keeping it in the family. Their father must be proud. ❤

[@tiwantiwaabibiman2603]

And their MOTHER too! Denzel didn't make, raise and teach/influence them - including their sister, on his own.

[@Hardknocklife224]

Thank you so much for explaining this scene! I recently watched the version with Charles Dutton & Alfre Woodard and was mesmerized with the writing of August Wilson. This scene was the only one I had to put Closed Captions on because I wanted get ALL of the words of the song. It was so intensely beautiful because of the history of Black Americans. Loved the scene! ❤❤

[@samosullivan1744]

I caught this masterpiece at the London Film Festival and when this song finished, the audience applauded as if we were actually in a theatre! And rightfully so!

[@chrisharris3310]

Extremely emotional and powerful scene.

[@Hibbs4Prez]

Kudos, gentlemen. Saw this at a movie theater a couple of weeks ago and of course this moment was a standout.

[@TheDeRaye]

This was my favorite part of the movie! They were jammin!

[@evelynwashere13]

Talk about a dynamic duo these 2 are great. I watched another interview where Malcom talked about having such a fan moment meeting Christopher Nolen, I can see him reaching that greatness

[@JustUdoro]

YES!!!!🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾 These two are taking cinematic expression to A WHOLE NEW LEVEL!! Keep going🙌🏾❤️

[@gasolinepearl6567]

Loved watching this breakdown. I can’t wait to watch the film!

[@hannahbanjo5629]

Beautifully shot movie! Love these guys!

[@KloderTX]

This sequence is amazing. Caught me off guard. Wonderful.

[@HelenL2-b1i]

Truly amazing movie plus casts, but my favorite scene is when all 4 gentlemen are singing. Bravooooo too you all 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@NativeNewYorker212]

Denzel and Pauletta Washington… take a bow! Look what y’all have done with not only these two, but all of you children! 🙏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾

[@kristopherjones734]

The Washington Brothers (John David and Malcolm)

[@tosmith5183]

Their passion for the mise en scene is inspiring and engaging. Much love

[@filmadcamp1512]

The musical rendition in this scene alone has me excited.

[@olaedo777]

Ok, this Malcom. He knows what he's doing

[@thelittlefactsvideos]

JDW was a massive surprise for me. Definitely his best performance since BlacKkKlansman.

[@bluelionprivatesecurity6309]

The liquor was inviting spirits in. Hint liquor nickname spirits. It’s a great conductor.

[@monab4177]

I am so godly ❤❤❤❤proud to see these young men demonstrate black excellence in the film industry.

[@RP.123]

Denzel and Pauletta raised them well!!

[@ettajfan5882]

That's an important story they're telling.

[@jaalahford1637]

Loved this film!!!!

[@BLISB]

Great movie, great job by all involved. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@lovethestage]

And this is what you get when a Hollywood wife and mother spends less time flossing and more time mothering.

[@filmadcamp1512]

PREACHER!!!!! Absolutely… 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@kimberlyjackson8343]

John David is a great actor I have a crush on him ever since I 1st saw him and I would love to make out with him ❤

[@BlessedNHighlyFavored04]

I’m conflicted by the way his voice is so similar to his dad..The movie had a boring storyline, the demonic chanting..No.. I really wish Black Artist would navigate to better writings.

[@Geauxme]

August Wilson won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama for The Piano Lesson. Maybe it’s his story telling you don’t resonate with, but I don’t it’s fair to state black artist don’t gravitate to great writing.

[@Geauxme]

Which movie/plays resonate with you?

[@Nmendenh-rl6ej]

Can you call them nepo babies if they stole their mamas whole face?

[@FionaHani-x2c]

Ain’t no way I’m first
