Antwone Fisher is a man in turmoil. Turmoil caused by long-standing hatred of his own dysfunctional life. Joining the Navy at a young age, he finds himself in trouble from his short temper and inability to deal with his past.
Derek Luke plays a difficult and realistic role as Antwone Fisher, a man on the quest for closure to his past and a new start for his future. The childhood and teenage years of the real Antwone Fisher provide an emotionally sensitive and subtle reality to the lives of many young people in abusive foster homes. Antwone Fisher is insightful, powerful and wonderful.
This film evokes pathos for a man who is a victim of his past, but redeems himself with sincere honesty and honour, to the credit of himself and his long-lost family. At the end of his quest he finds the most important thing in his life - the ability to release a lifetime of guilt and anger through honesty and love of himself. |
