Fences 2016 - TV Scene, 'I ain't got to like you'' Scene

[KiuLang]

Son: “dad i have a question.”
Denzel: “i’m about to end this man’s whole career.”

[tonywilson]

Something my father said to me that sticks till this day ..."I'm not raising you for me, I'm raising you for the world son" thanks for every lesson pop's

[Ghostofenzo]

I asked my dad the same question and he laughed and said,

“Son, I don’t like you...I love you.” 😭😌

[josephg]

One of the greatest actors alive, a living legend.

"hey pop whats the time?" dad drops another lecture....

[sjrilla]

The way he said "nigga"
Deserved an oscar alone.

[peterspirakis]

“Don’t go through life worrying whether someone likes you or not, you make sure they’re doing right by you”. Extremely true and wise statement! I try to remind myself this often

[justicevasquez]

Whether it’s part of a script or not, I don’t think many people can deliver a message quite as convincing as Denzel can

[dreamsofkaia]

This scene is 100% my father growing up...It legit gave me chills.

[codytanksley]

He didn't ever say he didn't like him, just not to worry about whether someone liked him or not.

[Nmil]

The amount of people being like "Wow! Tough love is so beautiful!"
Either didn't watch the same movie or never actually grew up with a father like this

[tryanewthing]

I feel that this movie deals with the complexity of fatherhood beautifully. The paradox between what is considered “abusive” and “good parenting”. You see the generational trauma and it is being repeated. Yet you feel for the dad who was just that son long ago. When having an adverse parent, it gets very complicated on understanding the difference between love and disciplining/teaching is. This film makes me think of my dad as that grey figure in a way I couldn’t put into words.

[MambaMone]

He was telling his son he loved him without actually saying it

[TempeSoldier]

It’s ok to tell your son you love him and you’re proud of him.

It’s not that difficult.

[HighLordBlazeReborn]

Lot of people in this comments section misunderstanding this scene- the "why don't you like me" question didn't have anything to do with the TV- that was just the natural flow of conversation. This isn't a spoilt kid having a tantrum- it's a kid that's always feared and respected his father but never felt any love for him, or had any back.

This scene started out so good. Just a nice interaction between father and son and then it went left. That’s how it is to be in a volatile home. You never know if what you say or do, no matter how small, will blow up. I lived like that, and it’s terrifying. Watching this movie always makes me cry

[bwill]

“Don’t you go through life worrying about whether somebody like you, you best be making sure they doing right by you.”

I felt that and I watch this video every once in a while to stay motivated.

[RookieAllstar]

just so everyone knows this skipped a whole scene that led to the kid asking why he never liked him. it wasn't that abrupt, it had a climax up to that final scene.

[knives]

It's crazy how he has a calm voice and tone yet he's intimidating, the way he speaks

[bodezzy]

Please protect Denzel we can’t lose this legend! The best to do it
