I'M ACTING

A lot of people don't understand what is meant by the I'M ACTING meme. Here is a perfect example from a scene in the movie/play Fences. See if you can spot the difference.

James Earl Jones

Why are they laughing during the scene lol

That’s some good shit from James Earl Jones. Denzel is one of those actors that are too big to the point where I can’t take them seriously in dramatic performances like this, he just doesn’t come off as natural here

I'm supposed to think the darth vader one is better right?

>that second video
it's like I'm watching Sanford and Son

Jones killed that scene and living up to it would be very daunting

And yet Denzel thought he could. So much so he made the fucking movie.

Should I watch the Denzel's Fences movie? It sounds funny.

Is Denzel even a good actor? Like why do people love him so much? I just watched Malcolm X for the first time and really I was mostly just impressed with Spike Lee's directing style. Denzel didn't blow me away all that much. He's a bit of an over-actor if anything.

he was at one point. Somewhere after Fallen
