It’s one thing to have your heart set on something, have it just in reach, and then ripped away. It’s another to have it rubbed in your face everyday.
There is no one or any thing i can be mad at for this. Except for maybe myself, but i’ve done that for the past couple months now and it’s done nothing for me except keep me from being happy.
With the new year approaching i’ve decided that I need to be my number one supporter and not my number one critic. Iv’e done nothing but tear myself down and the worst part is that i’ve convinced myself that i’m a failure, just in the past month.
Where am I going to end up if I keep allowing myself to do this?
A little backstory to this clip before you watch it:
Will Smith’s father abandoned him and his mother when he was a child, and when Will was finally getting into show business and making a name for himself, he tried to snake his way back into his life like nothing happened. Will co-wrote this episode, and James Avery (Uncle Phil) said “this scene was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to shoot in my life. Every emotion, every word.. that was Will”
Will was actually supposed to play it off and then walk away, and there was originally an alternate scene that was supposed to happen, but he actually completely cut out what was supposed to be said, and did all of his own dialogue. The hug at the end of this scene is completely genuine, and this was a stepping stone in Will’s career where he started to take on the “do what feels, sounds, and looks right” approach to his acting.
This scene alone, means a lot, not only to Will, but to me as well, seeing as I don’t have the best relationship with my father either.
So I’ll just leave this here. Enjoy.BEST ACTING IN THE WORLD RIGHT HERE.
I want to see the world. All of it.
