A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I can't find a reason why to not dislike this film. The acting and story plot are all brilliant. This is the type of movie that makes me have a better positive outlook on life and makes me feel fortunate of the family I was raised by. This movie does show the tough circumstances of being a foster kid as many foster parents can be abusive. With the urge of his psychiatrist, he seeks out to find his biological family. This is defiantly a feel good movie about the positive outlooks of life. It can help people feel better about themselves and make them feel more appreciated. Denzel Washington does a good job for his first time of directing a movie. Denzel Washington probably made the movie of what is now. Without Denzel in this movie, the movie might of not been as good. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone. Anyone who likes dramas should see it because for one, there can't be a reason to not like Denzel as he is one of the most talented actors to come to screen.

After awhile, you forget that the folks you're watching are black. Antwone Fisher presents Black Americans as middle-class and ordinary. You don't have to think "This is a black movie" at all. It's a fine example of vision and leadership by all involved, including its director Denzel Washington.Washington's Antwone Fisher is so good that you're effortlessly pulled into the story of a young sailor who is tortured by his horrendous childhood without the slightest fuss. Washington's direction is pure, workmanlike getterdone. You'd swear Clint Eastwood was behind the camera. Not a bad comparison for a first directorial effort, huh? You can read the other comments to get a more in-depth synopsis; I don't care to recount it here. Simply accept that Washington delivers the story without schmaltz or scenery-chewing. There's such a natural feeling to AF that the suspension-of-disbelief disconnect that one feels for awhile in most movies is missing here.I even enjoyed the way the US Navy was portrayed--a fighting force that will invest in the health and well-being of one of its members by sending this angry and miserable young man to a shrink instead of just to the brig.The greatest strength of Antwone Fisher is its attention to, its homage to human decency.

Whatever you become in your life,you must never forget that you have roots.This is the story of true facts that was made into a beautiful and moving movie! I dare to say that this movie is well underrated.This shows us a reality of life...the more evil surrounds you ,the better person you become.Trust in your instincts and be aware that the ideal of life is to live it happy...without grudges,without living "under a rock" . The movie concept is more that interesting...connecting the storytelling with real life events...keeping us aware of everything..from facts to emotions! Bless these people and make everyone happy ! See it,i recommend it to all young people.it's not about racism it's about how to live your life !
