Denzel Washington cumple 69 años

Denzel Hayes Washington, Jr. (Mount Vernon, Nueva York; 28 de diciembre de 1954) es un actor, productor y director de cine estadounidense, ganador de tres Globo de Oro, un Premio del Sindicato de Actores, un premio Tony y dos premios Óscar; estos por las cintas Glory como mejor actor de reparto en 1989, y por "Día de entrenamiento" como mejor actor principal en 2001.

En 2020, el New York Times lo calificó como el gran actor del siglo xxi. Conocido por sus actuaciones en la pantalla y el escenario, ha sido descrito como un actor quien reconfiguró "el concepto de cómo ser una estrella de cine", relacionando con personajes definidos por su gracia, dignidad, humanidad y fuerza interior.

Washington ha recibido el reconocimiento de la crítica especializada a lo largo de su carrera desde su debut en 1977, encarnando en muchas ocasiones personajes de la vida real. Algunos de ellos han sido: el activista sudafricano Steve Biko en "Grito de libertad" de 1987, el defensor de los derechos humanos "Malcolm X" de 1992, el boxeador canadiense Rubin Carter en "The Hurricane" de 1999, el entrenador de fútbol americano Herman Boone en "Remember the Titans" de 2000, el poeta modernista Melvin B. Tolson en "Grandes debates" de 2007, y el narcotraficante Frank Lucas en "American Gangster" de 2007, entre otros.

Denzel Washington nació el 28 de diciembre de 1954 en Mount Vernon, Nueva York, como el segundo de tres hijos de Denzel Hayes Washington Sr., un ministro pentecostal, y Lennis "Lynne" Washington, propietaria de un salón de belleza. En un principio, Denzel pensaba dedicarse a la medicina, pero finalmente inició la carrera de periodismo en la Universidad de Fordham

De niño asistió a la escuela primaria Pennington-Grimes en Mount Vernon hasta 1968. Cuando tenía 14 años, sus padres se divorciaron y su madre lo envió a la escuela preparatoria en la Military Academy en New Windsor, Nueva York.

Denzel Washington interpretó el papel del abogado Joe Miller en "Philadelphia" (1993), junto a Tom Hanks y Antonio Banderas, pero esta vez la Academia ni siquiera le nominó. Tom Hanks, sin embargo, dijo de él que era el actor del que más había aprendido.

Durante el resto de los años 90 apareció en películas como "El informe Pelícano", "Marea roja", "La mujer del predicador", "Fallen" y "El coleccionista de huesos", que fueron éxitos de taquilla.

Denzel Washington tiene un estilo muy particular que mezcla la bondad y la pasión. Esta mezcla innata le confiere a los complicados personajes que interpreta una solidez muy creíble que apasiona al público.

El 7 de julio de 2022, recibió de manos del Presidente de los Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, la Medalla Presidencial de la Libertad, por su contribución a la igualdad y a los derechos civiles, aunque no lo pudo recibir, debido a que dio positivo al COVID-19

Es cristiano evangélico pentecostal y miembro de la Iglesia de Dios en Cristo del Oeste de Los Ángeles (Iglesia de Dios en Cristo), ubicada en Los Ángeles.

Gran éxito su trilogía de "The Equalizer"

Bob Dylan records "Hurricane," his song about the incarcerated boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter.

[delux2222]

They can incarcerate my body but never my mind. —Rubin “Hurricane” Carter (May 6, 1937–April 20, 2014)

On November 7, 1985, U.S. District Court Judge H. Lee Sarokin handed down his decision to free Carter, stating that “The extensive record clearly demonstrates that [the] petitioners’ convictions were predicated upon an appeal to racism rather than reason, and concealment rather than disclosure.”

For a man who spent nearly four decades of his 76 years under the restrictive eye of the U.S. correctional system, few have ever touched as many lives as Rubin “Hurricane” Carter.

The world-class boxer turned wrongfully accused prisoner, turned advocate for the rights of the unjustly incarcerated, has succumbed to cancer, but his memory and work will endure as long as there are people outside and inside the prisons of the world fighting for justice.

Rubin "Hurricane" Carter

[lboogie1906]

James Albert Ellis (February 24, 1940 – May 6, 2014) was a mid-20th-century boxer. He won the vacant WBA heavyweight title in 1968 by defeating Jerry Quarry, making one successful title defense in the same year against Floyd Patterson, before losing to Joe Frazier in 1970.

He turned professional as a middleweight in 1961. Early in his pro career, he was trained and managed by Bud Bruner. With Bruner, he compiled a record of 15–5 (6 KOs). His five losses were decisions to top Middleweight contenders Holly Mims (whom he defeated in a rematch), Henry Hank, Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, Don Fullmer, and George Benton. This start helped his speed of punch, movement, and finesse. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Après avoir obtenu son diplôme d'études secondaires, Washington a fréquenté l'Université Fordham, où il a d'abord étudié la médecine, puis la biologie, puis s'est intéressé au journalisme et enfin au théâtre

Denzel a joué avec brio dans de nombreuses productions de la troupe étudiante, l'un de ses meilleurs rôles étant celui d'Othello dans la production de la tragédie de Shakespeare.

Le talent et le travail acharné de Washington ont été reconnus par la bourse qu'il a reçue, qui lui a permis de poursuivre ses études à l'American Theatre Conservatory de San Francisco, malgré le fait qu'il ait obtenu un diplôme en journalisme en 1977.  Cependant, n'y ayant pas étudié pendant un an, l'acteur a quitté l'école et depuis lors, le seul endroit où il a perfectionné ses talents d'acteur était la scène de théâtre et le plateau de tournage.

Le premier rôle dans un grand film fut la comédie "Copie en négatif" de Michael Schultz (1981).  Après le succès de "Glory" (1989), Hollywood a breveté Washington comme héros d'action positive et de drame.  On avait le sentiment qu'à l'écran, Denzel ne pouvait exister que sous deux formes : soit en bon flic, soit en combattant pour les droits de l'homme. Le travail dans le film "Hurricane" (1999) est devenu une étape importante dans la carrière de l'acteur.  Le rôle en filigrane du boxeur Rubin Carter, surnommé "Hurricane", qui a passé près de vingt ans derrière les barreaux pour meurtre, qu'il n'a pas commis, a valu à Washington un Golden Globe Award, une nomination aux Oscars et le prix du Festival international du film. à Berlin pour le rôle du "Meilleur acteur".

🌀 When the world seems to whirl around us, it's often the power of music that helps us find our center. As a hurricane heads our way, I find solace in the profound lyrics of Bob Dylan's "Hurricane." 🎶 Let's dive deep into the meaning of this iconic song.

"Hurricane" tells the powerful story of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, a middleweight boxer who was wrongfully convicted of a triple murder in Paterson, New Jersey, in 1966. Carter and John Artis were accused and convicted based on flimsy evidence and racial bias.

Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, a promising boxer with a bright future, found himself facing life in prison due to a racially charged justice system. The song sheds light on the injustice and prejudice that Carter endured during his trial and imprisonment.

Bob Dylan was deeply moved by Carter's story and wrote "Hurricane" as a call to action against the injustice. Dylan's lyrics passionately demand a fair trial for Carter and raise awareness about the flaws in the criminal justice system.

Dylan's lyrics reflect his outrage and frustration at the injustice of Carter's conviction, making a powerful statement against racial discrimination and wrongful imprisonment. The song's refrain, "Here comes the story of the Hurricane," serves as a rallying cry for justice.

In 1967, the black boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter and a young acquaintance, John Artis, were wrongly convicted of triple murder by an all-white jury in Paterson, New Jersey. Over the next decade, Carter gradually amassed convincing evidence of his innocence and the vocal support of celebrities from Bob Dylan to Muhammad Ali. He was freed in 1976 pending a new trial, but he lost his appeal -- to the amazement of many -- and landed back in prison.

Carter, bereft, shunned almost all human contact until he received a letter from Lesra Martin, a teenager raised in a Brooklyn ghetto. Against his instincts, Carter agreed to meet with Martin, thus taking the first step on a tortuous path back to the world. Martin introduced him to an enigmatic group of Canadians who helped wage a successful battle to free him. As Carter orchestrated this effort from his cell, he also embarked on a singular intellectual journey, which led ultimately to a freedom more profound than any that could be granted by a legal authority.

THE HURRICANE- 1999 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rubin "Hurricane" Carter (Denzel Washington) is a champion boxer whos life is ruined by racist cops who falsely accuse him of murder.

He spends the next 20 years behind bars and writes his life story. A teenager names Lesra reads it and they strike up a friendship while trying to release Rube from jail.

Enjoyable drama/boxing movie.

Denzel Washington was great.

Directed by Norman Jewison.
