Thespian Denzel Washington is an ``American Gangster,'' who, in the opening scene sees his friend Clarence Williams III decry the corrupt state of North American business as lacking ``pride of ownership'' for business owners as places like McDonald's take profits, but care little for decent wages for Black workers, and establishing decent work ethics and selling foods that retain good standards for nutritional value.
To be honest, The character did't say that exactly, but if the movie was updated, he might well have said that.
Washington plays a character who provides a higher grade of co-cane at a cheaper rate and makes millions. His character is seen shooting another brother right in the head in broad daylight. While Denzel got good recognition for his role, it is my opinion that he wasn't just taking a role that was very negative to get the opportunity to play ``more important roles.''
It is vastly important that young Black men who are thinking about selling illegal drugs [ in the face of inner-city hopelessness ] or who are actually part of the pipeline, it is phonemically important that these young brothers check out this movie because they need to know what type of an animal illegal drug dealers of any race or creed, become at any level.
When the main character turns state's evidence to unleash the city's prosecutor on ``dirty cops'' the whole movie takes a different course.
