Denzel the Magnificent

Rating: 10/10 (14 December 1999)

I saw this movie three weeks ago, and still carry the impact of Denzel's performance. He just gets gloriouser and gloriouser in each project he does. A powerful story, reminding us of the impact of film on life and people. I would have never known this story had I not seen this picture, and I think that's important. "Sometimes we don't choose the movies we see, they choose us." Elia Kazan once said of Marlon Brando, that when you watched him act, you felt as though you could reach right into his soul. That's how I felt watching Denzel. And I'm grateful for the experience.
