Denzel's Alpha Male Realization of an 'L'

[MostReal]

the way it creeps up on him.

the moment he understands he has no real power left.

The brash expression but deep in his heart he knows...

He lost

 

[Heretic]

Then at the end when he sees his girl take his kid away from the window he had that true look of defeat. Dude knew it was a wrap

 

[Wise]

One of the greatest scenes in film history. This solidified the Oscar for him.

 

[MostReal]

the way shock grabs him at :42
still defiant & trying to maintain control

just great pacing & build up with his dialect. Dude was insane with it.

c00ns....

Jake came back the next day and arrested all them niccas....

 

[Silkk]

"Im winning any muhhhluvn way*

 

[Reggie]

This was a powerful ass scene right here. The way he did that little bounce at the end just always stuck with me for some reason. Like he knew their was no way out and he had used all of his passes.

 

[Mowgli]

I hated the way Jake looked walkin through them nikkas that parted like the red sea. shyt was corny as fukk.

You're the man now dog. fukk outta here.

Still, them nikkas had to walk away when he ethered them with that " I run shyt here, you just LIVE here"

 

[gho3st]

This would have never happened if he had personally taken care of Jake in the first place. From jump, everybody knew Jake was going to be a problem.

Thanks for reminding me of how ILL Denzel was in Training Day ...

 

[Darth Nubian]

SHU program nikka! Denzel went in. He sold the hell out of some wolf tickets in this scene.

Denzel was on one. What a lot of people don't know is Denzel improvised a lot of the lines from that scene. The King Kong shyt was improvised.

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

a GOAT performance by one of the GOATS, thats my denzel yall

Ill scene, the ending of of 'Training Day', I never liked though..Fuqua did too much with the Russians spraying up his car and the bloody, over the top death, I felt it wasn't subtle or powerful enough, always wished there was a more fitting end.
