Awesome movie

Please watch Deja Vu with Denzel Washington.

When is the next Family Guy reaction episode?

❤

roger wasnt the samdman , he stole the sandman money so he could pay for the warrant to get his friend roger and steal his money and if he wasnt in his situation with the Russians he would've never went after roger

That's something I picture Denzel wanting

Also wouldn’t that have ended in a cliffhanger somewhat haha

definitely a great ending

They probably had a sequel in mind...

If he got away it fits the whole Oscar movie no one wants to watch thing I guess

Right after 9 11

and Ethan

Yep.

Perfectly said. Man was literally a murderer and absolutely evil. His "friends" in his head backing Jake at the end said it all. People hating on Jenny and calling her a gold-digger in Forrest Gump is the only common misconception that drives me crazier. Only when she got clean did she ever seek out Forrest just to heal/rest. And only when she was dying did she ask anything more.

Absolutely!!

He was pure evil portraying as a good guy. He used his badge as a weapon.

I agree. It’s a good thing that this kinda stuff doesn’t happen in real life.

Agree 100 %

He paid the chicanos to kill him.

10000%

I love that she made that comment. The world needs innocence.

It’s true There’s a lot of Alonzo quotes that are just good common sense. For example when people say someone is their “friend”… just bc I joke and laugh with someone does not make them my friend. It’s a word people throw around way too much

Ikr? He's acting like the corrupt things he was doing was for the better of the community lol, it was solely for himself.

Man On Fire for sure! 🔥

People liked that movie in the USA?. That movie is so clichee.

you got gta? i got gamecast.

Cognitive dissonance gets us all at one point or another lol

You mean Denzel finally playing a bad guy or Alonzo turning evil? I think Alonzo's been evil all along is why I'm asking is all. Anyway, it's definitely one of Denzels best. Ethan Hawke held his own too.

@@clevelandcbi Denzel

​@@deputydog3137 Same thing with Tom Cruise with Collateral.

​@@craiganderson5813 Yep.

@@craiganderson5813 I thought that was another good movie as well

thanks

Malcolm X

He won because (1) Al Pacino won for "Scent of a Woman" which was Pacino's lifetime achievement award when Denzel ought to have won for "Malcolm X"; and (2) Russell Crowe ought to have won the Oscar for "A Beautiful Mind" the year Denzel won for "Training Day", but politics worked against him including Crowe being arrested in NYC for assault.

You are wrong, he said he watched him operate with impunity, which means Alonzo was not able to get him until that day. His motivations were selfish, but his motivation was to survive, which is understandable. He wasn't collecting the money to be frivolous with it, he was collecting the money to purchase his own life.

@@dwl3006 That's an interesting opinion. I won't say you are wrong, because there is no right or wrong insofar as opinions go. My comment might appear like I'm saying it as a flat fact, but again it is only an opinion. Comments sections are replete with opinions, it's the place you go to when you have an opinion about something featured in a video. However 'impunity' means that he committed the offences with no fear of punishment - not that Alonzo had no power to intervene. Alonzo knew he was committing these offences so could have punished him a lot sooner than he did. Alonzo provided that impunity by not telling in the first place. So unfortunately I cannot accept your opinion in this case. Just because something is understandable, it doesn't make it right. And Alonzo created the situation whereby he required the money in the first place. He was prepared to commit murder in order to pay what he had to and earn his own impunity - since it would never come back on him if his friend was dead. Again, just my opinion.

@@FrancisXLord No, what Alonzo was saying was that he was powerless to intervene for those 10 years. Alonzo knew he was commiting offences but that certainly does not mean that he could have punished him sooner because the entire theme of the movie is that the system is corrupt, which means that power players get away with their crimes. He operated with impunity means Alonzo (and nobody else for that matter) had any ability to stop him for those 10 years. Alonzo would not say that he operated with impunity if Alonzo himself had the power to stop him. Alonzo had no power to intervene until Training Day. Now, maybe Alonzo was lying and he did have the power to stop him before, but that doesn't change the intention of his statement which was to convey that he had no power to intervene prior to that day. He was prepared to commit murder to save himself, which as you said, is not right but understandable. He did create the situation but admitted it was a mistake, and what even a normal person is willing to do in order to preserve their own life is very accurately portrayed by Alonzo. You would be surprised how ruthless someone can become just to save their own life.

@@dwl3006 'Impunity' is derived from the from the Latin word 'impunitas' in turn from 'impunis' which means 'unpunished'. It does not mean that he couldn't have been punished, and Alonzo demonstrates that he could have been punished by punishing him when it was convenient for him. Why didn't he do that sooner? Incidentally, there were legal means by which he could have obtained a search warrant if he was witness to his crimes, but he needed one in a hurry and didn't have time to go through the usual process.

@@FrancisXLord You are being too literal, and it makes me wonder if English is even your first language. If he says he operated with impunity, he is implying that nobody was able to stop him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to operate with impunity. He literally compares it to a chess game, where it took him 10 years to finally have the opportunity to "checkmate" his opponent, which means prior to that moment, the opportunity was not there. If he operated with impunity, it is never without a reason, and it is never because other people aren't trying to punish him (including competition). This shows you have a shallow understanding of what impunity means and implies. What operating with impunity literally means is that Roger was able to sell drugs without consequences or fear because he had the power, connections and protection to do so. Any other interpretation that deviates from this is mental gymnastics and simply bad knowledge of English language. Remember he had to convince the three wise men to allow him to do it, which means it was in their hands, not Alonzo's, and they only agreed because Alonzo was able convince them of then necessity of the operation. He didn't do it sooner because the three wise men did not allow him to do it sooner. And why didn't the three wise men allow it sooner? We will never know because the movie does not tell us but usually in situations like that it is because of a complex balance of interests and back-scratching relationships. Most likely, someone like Roger was providing some sort of usefulness to either the three wise men directly, or to people that were important to the three wise men. The three wise men by acquiescing to Alonzo's request are clearly vexed, and it is understood that they are sacrificing a valuable asset in hopes of keeping another valuable asset (Alonzo). And as I said, the theme of the movie is that the system is corrupt, so there are many reasons why he could not have gotten a search warrant earlier. For example, Roger was being protected by power figures like the 3 wise men. More than likely was that Roger was useful in other ways in which Alonzo, and others needed him up until that point. The fact that you keep harping on this point shows that you have a naive understanding of corruption. Again, if someone operates with impunity in a corrupt environment, it is almost always because they are heavily connected to various layers of legal, judicial and political protection, usually with a combination of bribery and blackmail (if I go down I am taking you with me). Maybe it's better if you stick to watching easy to understand Disney cartoons.

Damn how can I forget remember the titans. Solid ass movie. Sucks that he only won awards when he played a villain and not that inspirational ass character

I wasn't celebrating in the end of training day I don't know why

You are right, It is inspired by a real LA police officer, although the story is not 100% the same.

He was an ex cop and Alonzo was a rookie cop when they met. Alonzo mentions that the 3 wise men ordered him to Jack Roger and Roger responds about they want his pension.

And brad pitt too

So true
