No doubt it was a powerful script that most likely created an incredible play but it was not meant for the screen. The movie centers around Troy Maxon (Denzel Washington), a father to two boys of different mothers, a husband to Rose (played wonderfully by Viola Davis) for the past 18 years, an ex-con, a garbage man, and above all, an ordinary black man in the 1950's. I didn't like this movie as much as I expected to. It's my duty to take care of you, I owe a responsibility to you, I ain't got to like you! Now, I gave everything I got to give you! I gave you your life! Me and your Mama worked out between us and liking your black ass wasn't part of the bargain! Now don't you go through life worrying about whether somebody like you or not! You best be makin' sure that they're doin' right by you! You understand what I'm sayin'? ![]() You live in my house, feed your belly with my food, put your behind on my bed because you're my son. A man is supposed to take care of his family. Troy: Like you? I go outta here every morning, I bust my butt 'cause I like you? You're about the biggest fool I ever saw. Troy: As long as you're in my house you put a "Sir" on the end of it when you talk to me. ![]() ![]() Don't you eat every day? Answer me when I talk to you! Don't you eat every day? Troy: Like you? What law is there sayin' I got to like you? ![]()
