Red table talk - Will Smith and His Kids Take Over The Red Table

For the first time, Will Smith is taking over the Red Table with his three kids to open up about the most grueling and transformative time of his life - making the movie “Emancipation.” In this deeply intimate and revealing Red Table Talk, Will recounts how for the first time in his career he nearly ‘went too far’ and almost ‘lost himself.’ Will shares the biggest revelations of his life, a horrific moment he experienced while filming and a co-star who refused to speak to him. Trey, Jaden and Willow ask their father questions about how he was able to recover from the trauma of playing such an intense character. Plus emotional surprises from director Antoine Fuqua, co-star Ben Foster and Will’s #1 fan in the world: his

I love the way he explains things to his kids...you can tell they respect him and listen to what he says.

Will Smith is explaining how the mind can be reprogrammed. He is pretty much saying while he plays these characters so long how you can lose yourself and actually become the character that you are acting. your mind is literally being reprogrammed and you become something else. This was very powerful to watch.

Will Smith must understand he is his ancestors wildest dreams...
It humbles you to know we were taken and kept from everything. It's good he is trying to educate his kids.

Jaden’s laugh is hysterical! 😂. Loved this episode of the red table . It was eye opening.

We should never forget. There are layers and layers of pain, injustice, cruelty, trauma, and then so much to unravel and unpack. This is something you never get over. It stays with you for generations. It will take a very long time to heal. Remembering can be the leveller that's needed to stand firm and strong in yourself. Work to forgive, but never forget. Sometimes, real truth and real lessons come after deep and real pain.

Jaden’s laugh took me out every time 🤣🤣🤣

Whenever I hear someone say 'slavery was a long time ago. That was then!', I cringe. That dismissal of many many peoples' suffering makes me sad, yet livid at the same time. History should be learned from, so the atrocities will not be repeated.

Reaching this stage where you can have intellectual conversations with your children is the best part of parenting.

I have met black folks who have been conditioned through their childhood to live the stereotype of black folks as second class citizens and poor. EVERYONE needs to be educated that we all are Americans. This is a powerful talk!

“ The ownership has to be in our minds.”This is everything. I’ve always walked through life like I belong where I am.

Can't help it... I am still amazed by this man's talent. It was the part when he mentioned the resilience of our people that hit me deeply. Let this sink in.

I am just floored by this! Every person who plans to go to the polls this year should be mandated to see this before they go! Thank you to everyone who stepped up to the plate to make this happen, and kudos to Will and The Red Table!

Thank you Will Smith and your beautiful children for this table talk I have a granddaughter and we live in a luxury high-rise in Manhattan so she doesn’t have too many black friends if she has one and I always have to remind her you’re a little black girl she’s 15 now I’m raising her And I’m taking her to see this movie. I have tears in my eyes while I’m speaking because she has no idea where we come from or who we are no matter how hard I try to teach her my grandma and my great grandma they come from those days they didn’t have golden years, they didn’t have an abundant life. Neither did my mom. all three of them are gone to heaven. this needed to be told I needed to hear it and see it. Thank you so much Will I celebrate you and I appreciate you for this movie.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

This movie is one of the best movies I have every seen! And the best acting I have ever seen in any character. And I'm a HUGE cinephile. The opening scene when he tore the hinges off the door as they grabbed him said so much. It showed that this character is extremely strong, extremely passionate, extremely loved and extremely determined. He kept that same energy the whole movie. It was like Will was out of his body. He wanted to make sure we knew who that Hatian hero was beyond that picture. Nobody on this planet can convey his spirit and love the way Will did. Emancipation is forever etched in my psyche and in my spirit. And for that I will always be thankful.
