Antwone Fisher
The movie of Antwone Fisher which was directed by Denzel Washington and whose screen play was written by Antwone Fisher portrays the life journey of Antwone Fisher. This movie shows Antwone’s childhood and his struggle to heal the wounds made by people in his life. Antwone never knew his parents, and so he grew up with Mrs. Tate, his foster mother who abused Antwone and his brothers. Antwone was even molested repeatedly by one of his older female cousins at age 6 and even saw his best friend Jesse murdered in front of his eyes. Antwone them joined the military to escape poverty and after having and attitude problem and being involved in many fights he was forced to go see Mr. Williams, a psychiatrist, who eventually told him he needed to find his real family. Antwone, along with his new girlfriend Cheryl traveled to see his family, they found his mother, Mrs. Tate, his cousin and eventually he was united with his whole family. Antwone fisher is a man who has been constantly hurt and wounded by people in his life. All of this hurt has been bottled up through all of these years and he explodes in anger anytime someone makes a remark that reminds him of his past. At the beginning of the movie Antwone had a dream where a young boy was in the middle of a wheat field. He was them led into a room with a long table. Surrounding the table where what like a hundred people. The table was filled with delicious looking food, and the little boy was led to the end of the table where he was seated. I believe that this dream represents Antwone’s desire to know who his real family is. The little boy who was seated at the end of the table represents Antwone and the people around the table represent Antwone’s real family and how he wants to be surrounded by his family. Antwone’s dream came true at the end of the movie when he was actually surrounded by his real family and sat down at a table with them to eat.
