0:49 “come here”
Those words coming from our fathers have installed terror and fear throughout generations

[joewhitehead]

You know, most fathers would be thrilled about their sons being recruited for college. My own father woulda been over the moon about it if it happened to me

“Pick it up”
“Put it on”
“Strap it up”
“Now strap if off”

“But Mr. Ha—“

“Strap it off!”

And thats how he learned kung fu

i dont know if you can be better then him... he coached the Titans to an undefeated season.

A father who thinks fear and respect are the same thing, puts his pride first, always gets in his feelings when people call him out on his BS instead of just take it like he expects, is a terrible father. I don't care what generation you from.

Y’all defending Troy cuz he was played by Denzel but y’all know good and damn well if y’all had a dad like him y’all would be broken spirits😂😂😂😂💯

I never seen this movie. my pops and my mom went to go. See it it started a fight when me and my father got back in front of each other.
He praised this man in this movie. And wonders till today Why my brother don't talk to him.

Something I learned in life: you can’t tell your parents your deepest desires, because they will always find some way to take it away or hinder your ability. I’m not saying you should never love your parents, but never let them know everything about you. They had their shots and they missed them. Don’t miss yours because you gave away your position before you could take the shot.

Troy makes Vegeta look like father of the year. At least Vegeta genuinely loved his family to the point where he fought the god of destruction for daring to strike his wife.

Man, I love coming back to this film. Hits so close to home.

[ovskii]

"Come here"

You can tell the only reason he did that was because on some level, Troy knows that his son is absolutely right. He's a classic bully who needs people in his life to be inferior to him.

0:48 when every grown folk around know you just messed up, only you don't know it.

[ashtonchane]

bono:(internal thoughts) troy come on man

[geraldchavana]

This is the point in the movie where I feel like he failed as a father he ruined his son's future over his own pride and jealousy

[nodeloliver]

All a boy wants is to know his father is proud of him, or at least loves him. That's all. But for that same father to willfully deny him the chance, the opportunity to make it so... I know no torture more cruel than that.

[arguetafredi]

I know this is a movie but this happens to real people in the real world.I will accomplish lifetime goals but I always want my kids to be better than me and they will

[isaiahdatrackkilla]

Troy was wrong for what he did. He was blinded by his own failure that he had to ruin his sons chance at succeeding.

[Incognito-vcwj]

Is it me, or did that sound like a serious threat.

[Shadowfax]

It's very sad that fathers like him gaslight their own sons and daughters and bring up about their mistakes like its their own damn fault and expect them to fix it by throwing away their own hobby.

Reading these comments let me know Troy's character clearly went over ppls head.
