Movie Reviews of Antwone Fisher (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Barely Scratches The Surface.....
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the true story of a young man that is tragically abused in the foster care system by his foster family and his long journey to overcome this tragedy through the help of a caring psychiatrist and finding the love of his birth family....
For this reason I loved the movie "Antwone Fisher". However, it is difficult to portray the entire story of Mr. Fisher's life in a movie and some areas of the movie left me feeling like it was just another happy Hollywood ending.
We never learn why Mr. Fisher's birth mother never came to claim him after she was released from prison. We do see that Mr. Fisher does find and confront his birth mother, but it would have been nice to hear her side of the story in the movie instead of just hearing Antwone tell her all about how well he has turned out as a man.
Also, does Antowne Fisher end up marrying, Cheryl, his girlfriend in the movie and do they have a happily ever after? We presume that "Antwone Fisher" has overcome his anger issues, but it would have been great to know what he is doing with is life now. So many unanswered questions left hanging at the end of this movie.
Summary of Antwone Fisher (Widescreen Edition)
Autobiographical movies rarely get more truthfully moving than Antwone Fisher. The title is also the name of this fine drama's first-time screenwriter, a former Navy seaman who was working as a film-studio security guard when his life-inspired script was developed as Denzel Washington's directorial debut. This Hollywood dream gets better: unbeknownst to the filmmakers, Derek Luke--a newcomer who won the title role over a throng of famous contenders--was also a friend of Fisher's, and the whole film seems blessed by this fortunate coincidence. Washington's sharp instincts as an actor serve him well, as both a subtle-handed director and Luke's costar playing Jerome Davenport, a Navy psychologist assigned to assess Fisher's chronic violent temper. Their therapy sessions prove mutually beneficial, as this touching true story addresses painful memories, broken desires, and heartfelt reunions without resorting to a contrived happy ending. Fisher's good life is worth celebrating, and Washington brings a delicate touch to the party. --Jeff ShannonDenzel Washington makes his triumphant directorial debut and Derek Luke shines in his first big-screen role in "one of the most touching, heartwarming films of the year." (Jeffrey Lyons, WNBC-TV) Inspired by the true life experiences of its title character, Antwone Fisher tells the dramatic story of a troubled sailer (Luke) who is ordered to see a naval psychiatrist (Washington) about his volatile temper. Little does he know that his first step into the doctor's office will lead him on a remarkable emotional journey to confront his painful past--and connect with the family he never knew.
