Ad Antwone Fisher, marinaio particolarmente irascibile, viene ordinato di parlare con lo psichiatra della Marina Jerome Davenport per cercare di capire le motivazioni delle sue esplosioni di collera. Durante il percorso di ricerca in se stesso che compie con l'aiuto del medico, Antwone trova in lui il padre che non ha mai conosciuto e ha il sostegno della donna che gli fa scoprire il significato dell'amore. Scopre che esistono anche persone buone ed altruiste e che esiste la speranza. Così comincia a volersi bene e ad accettare e perdonare gli altri.

There's an air of sweetness about this movie, despite the grim subject matter (touches on physical and inappropriate abuse of children, and the former is sometimes quite graphic, so be warned) and it's very difficult to feel pessimistic when watching it. Perhaps it's because of the light humor ("Hungry?" "I could eat."), or perhaps it's the innate sweetness and innocence of Derek Luke, who played Antwone. Probably it's a combination of both.
This is not to say that there aren't some heartwrenching moments, of course. There were scenes where I found myself wanting to reach through the TV screen and give this poor kid a hug. But the overall feel of the movie is one of triumph: Antwone Fisher was an angry, violent young man, yet he overcame that and became a really great person; he was abused and subsequently scared of women, yet he worked through that and found a wonderful girlfriend; he was lost and alone, yet at the end he found a family to love and be loved. Knowing that the movie is based on a true story only adds to the feeling of good prevailing over bad.
Denzel's first film where he both acted and directed, and one that he can definitely be proud of.

Obviously not a well known film, but a fantastic one none the less. I haven't bought the dvd but am just doing so right now, having just watched the film on tv.
Simply, it's the touching story of a young man in the navy, delving into his past with the help of a navy pysciatrist, to get to the roots of an anger management problem. The film focuses on the journey that he makes and the telling of a horendous up-bringing, and in such a brilliant and moving way it leaves you speachless. Based on the real Antwone Fisher's past, the film brings his life to you in such a way you could almost talk as if you had been there - a definite sucess for Denzel Washington's directorial debut! Honestly, i can't praise the film enough!
Just make sure all watching have tissues near by!

Viewed this one last night. A very emotional film. whether man or woman you are bound to drop a tear at some point in this movie.
Antwone is a young man who grew up without his mum and dad and the only memories he has are bad ones. He was given out to foster parents and lets just say was not the best experience of his life. After surviving; joins the navy. With the effects of his childhood affecting every aspect of his life, he is forced by the Navy to see a Councillor, Denzil Washington. On counselling Antwone Fisher he finds short comings in his own life.
He also encourages Antwone through some of his life struggles and to find his family whome he as never met. with his new found girlfriend they embark on a journey of discovery in more ways than one.
Wonderful wonderful film there is such innocence of a young black man and the everyday struggles he had which we often take for granted. This story is filled with hilts and turns just when you think he has it in the bag, bang there comes another untold chapter of the young mans life.
Truly a remarkable bio-film and portrayed so sensitively by the three actors. One i will always keep in my collection.
