Cinephile No. 626 "Fences"

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

In "Fences," Denzel Washington and Viola Davis teach a master's level course on acting. Thanks to a wonderfully written script and a tremendous adaptation from stage to screen, the dialogue flows effortlessly, sweeping between each and every character on screen melding itself into the scenery. Hanging on every word, you follow along as one man tries to find himself in a changing world with which he is dissatisfied. The great conflict arises when the dutiful woman standing at his side is forced to negotiate the terms of the relationship. When the surprise comes, you are floored and left closely listening to every word uttered next. While I won't give away the ending, it will leave you wanting more and more movies like this soon to be revered film. 

Be good to each other, 

-Nathan

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
