"Fences" is adapted from the play of the same name by the playwright August Wilson, and has been performed on Broadway stage many times and has won Tony and Pulitzer Prizes
. There have always been people who wanted to make "Fences" into a movie, but the screenwriter August Wilson insisted that black filmmakers be the director, so it has been difficult to give birth. After the producer Scott Rudin received the rights to the film, he called Washington and asked him if he wanted to play or direct the film. Washington promised him to read the script first. After reading the script, Washington was attracted by this story. Denzel Hayes Washington Jr. admitted afterwards that he had seen the drama when he was 20 years old. He did not immediately agree to make the movie, but the reason for acting in the drama version was because he was worried that his age could not wait for the preparation of the movie. Washington was 55 at the time, and Troy, the lead actor in the play, was 53 years old. If you don't hurry up, Washington is worried that he is too old to act

When it comes to movies about life, it’s hard to say why in one or two sentences. There are no absolute good or bad people in life, only conflict and reconciliation between mortals with strengths and weaknesses. The actor's performance is very good, but the drama is too strong

The real struggle in an ordinary family, and the acting with great tension. Probably the two highest-level black actors, who have dedicated works with a great sense of stage. Davis won the Oscar for the female supporting role, and liked her role very much, especially after the twist.

Troy: I spend my money where I'm treated right. I go down to Bella, say, I need a loaf of bread, I'll pay you Friday, she gives it to me. What sense that make when I got money to spend it somewhere else and ignore the person who done right by me? That ain't in the Bible.

Bono: You got more stories than the devil got sinners.
Troy: Oh, hell, I done seen him too. Done talked to the devil.
