M h. I grabbed that menu off that window. Point not get in
it's unlocked. Just throw that the blow box. This car is not from
the motor pool. It's not sexy dough in there. So where's the office?
Back at division? In the office, baby going out? Day's a
training day. Off to hoy show you're around. Give your take to the
business. You know. I got thirty eight cases pending trial, sixty three
in active investigation, another two hundred and fifty on the log I can't clear.
I supervised five officers. That's five different personalities, five sets of problems.
You could be number six if you act right. But I ain't holding
no hands, you understand, I ain't babysitting. You got today and today
owned to show me who and what you're made of, you know, like
narcotics. Get back to the office, get a nice desk job, you
know, chasing bad checks or something to him out here. Okay, But
if you want to be an art, I want to serve my community by
riding of dangerous drugs, right correct? Or why you want to be an
ard? I want to make detective. There you go, you can do
it. Stick with me, you can do it. Unlearned that boy,
they teach you at the academy. No, don't bring none of it.
Get you killed out in. I will do anything you want me to do.
Roll your window down, start there. So you gotta hear this stream.
You gotta smell it. You know you gotta taste it feeling as you
learn that, learn that, get you killed him, plot and all kinds
behind your back. Denzel Washington, that name alone draws such reverence from film
fans. His performances are legendary, and time and time again, he is
wowed filmgoers with his wide range of abilities. Before two thousand and one,
there were questions if Washington could be one character that was the quote unquote bad
guy or villain. This week's film answered that with one of his greatest performances.
Directed by Antoine Fuqua and released in two thousand and one, Training Day
gives us the story of idealistic cop Jake Hoyt Ethan Hawke in his resurgent role,
who is wanting to become a narcotics detective or a narc He is selected
by Officer Alonzo Harris Washington to go through a training day to try and make
his squad. As the day evolves, we see Harris's facade as a decorated,
well respected in feared cop fall apart in the ruins of corruption, greed,
and lawlessness. Our first clip sets the stage for this day. Our
next clip is the first meeting between hoy and Smith in a coffee shop.
We hear the coldness that Harris has in the eagerness of hoy This is important
because as this film progresses, the Harris's coldness evolves into ruthlessness and Hoyt's eagerness
turns into helpless despair. I'm trying to read my paper. Please shut up
last you wouldn't mind not roasting a hot black and white out sooner? Tell
me a story white like my story, No, not your story. A
story. Since you can't keep your mouth shut long enough for me to read
my paper, tell me a story. I don't think I know any stories.
You don't know any stories. All right, I'll tell you a story.
This is a newspaper, right it's nine but entertaining. That's why I
read it, because it entertains me. You won't let me read it,
so you entertain me with your boy. Tell me a story right now?
Go Well, there was a dui stop or DUI stop let me load up
my gun a d ui. Oh listen, all right, it's kid.
We were on here to watch. Oh me and Debbie. Who's I'm sorry,
Debbie Maxwell. My training officer had a female training wosser. Yes,
sir, O, okay, all right, so what was you black wife?
Wife? It's pretty good, pretty good, Debbie midwatch, go right,
all right. Well so it was a real quiet though you never know.
That's the point. Go all right, well it was. It was
quiet night. We're rolling on van when I'm driving this accurate just a beautiful
car comes out of side street all over the media and in excess. I
lighted up hit the whaler guy drives on im like I'm in visible for ten
blocks before he pulls over. He plays run clean, and so I feel
tasked and arrest and I'm I'm belting him in our unit and Debbie's tossing his
car. She calls me over to the vehicle and shows me slump thirty eight
and two shotguns fully loaded and locked. So she calls our supervisor and I
keep searching. I find five hundred grams of meth in the dash. It
turns out this duy is unbailed for distribution it's on his way to smoke his
ex partner before trial. We prevented a murder. You got him. It's
amazing. It is that you could be out there with a fine for a
year and the most entertaining story that you can come up with to tell me
is a drunk stop. But I don't believe you. You tap that,
you know you tap that, you put in a backseat. Bam, cold
X man. I got a wife. You gotta do you do have a
yes? Okay? It lines up straight. Let that right to the right
of it and to the left of it, or pockets right in those pockets
of money looking either one of them paid to build. With most cop films,
there is corruption either right in front of our eyes or it is heavily
implied. What makes this film different is it is not over the top.
It is painfully real and drives this story. Our next two clips are examples
of this. First, Alonso has to meet a group of officers that call
themselves the Wise Men because of their ability to use corruption to get whatever they
want. In this meeting, we hear the trouble Alonzo is in. After
a disturbing and disgusting story. Then, after Alonso kills someone to take millions.
Hiding in his own home, his relationship with Hoyt begins to unravel,
but not until Alonzo makes one more attempt to convince Jake that what they are
doing is acceptable. Let you see a jam. It's my new guy who
works on my squad, Jake Hoyt. Captain Luke Jacobs. You haven't need
to talk to the Fed. You talk to him first, good man,
and can take you back for you stand Gerdski over here. He runs the
DA shooting team. You think about him before you pull the trigger, because
you're room. He'll snap nuts out using for dice. Detective Doug Razeli right
here, and it's high dollar deft cases for the French poodle crowd. You
know if you lose a Picasso, he'll find it for your ditch. Fine,
he's a good man. Please meet you, good man. Boom shoo,
get yourself a baseball steak or something. Yes, I don't know why
I am meeting you. I don't talk to dead man. Ain't dead.
Jenny Rye, A long faced Doug huh Bet sees your house or something told
him the story. Come on, tell the story. You think it's so
funny you're talking. No, No, it's your story, you tell it
all right, all right, this is cereal burglar chasing him for twelve months
and real slickster gave up nothing. Captain's riding my ass the entire time.
Sensing was today Judge's female, that's right Landers. Yeah, I know Lander's
shop lady. So before the hearing, guy gets hold of some peanut butter
packs and he's standing tall before and he's waiting to give a statement. So
he shoves his hand down his pants, comes out with a gob at extra
chunky chief. Bailiffs won't come near him. Now. He's looking to judge
right in the eyes, licks his fingers cleaned. So Judge says, uh,
oh, this poor man's insane. He can't go to prison, orders
him to psychiatrist. He fell for it. Yeah, that's because he's smart.
Times she found out it was sandwich spared. The order was signed,
that guy has been transferred, Proceedings closed, close, freckled. Six months
in the puzzle factory. Then they'll call him normal and let him Lose'll ever
do a damn prison? Yeah, give him credit though, work the system
deserves his freedom. Yeah, so what right, I'll tell you what I'm
gonna find this guy on the street and I'm gonna do him. You better
take his bullets from him, staying Ah, Lonzo, he had an expensive
weekend in Vegas. How did you ever screw up so bad? Nothing?
It's nothing, forget it. You know, I didn't know. It's not
my town. I'm not a Nissian. The Russians don't care if you have
a badge. Whack you. You're to hopper jet out of here. Why
it's an easy fix. How he's cashing an account? Oh yeah, yeah,
who's one of my old ones? My first one. It's not a
problem. Look, the guy's a high security risk anyway. If I'm not
around, who's gonna keep him off the radar? You, I'm just taxing
them? Not so okay, that's your call. I do not want you.
I do not want to see you on the front page like those others.
Yeah, I stood, who's driving me grad Mercedes? Okay? And
now hoit? Questions Alonzo? All right, Yeah, it'd be who's you're
not the ground? This way? Justifiable on the side, lined to be.
Okay, Now, what happened? What happened was the murder and armor
bred Oh wait, we had badges, so it's different. So help you
guys. Can't you see that man was your friend and you killed him?
Come my friend? Uh mean why because he knows my first name? Sudden,
this is the game. I'm playing his ass. That's my job.
That's your job. Rogers sold dope to kids. The world is a better
place without him. Hey, this man was the biggest major buyer. Later
in Los Angeles, I watched that tsucker operate with impunity for over ten years,
and now I got it the ship. Yes, it ain't check us
what you think are we gonna do? We're gonna roll up in a black
and white huh. Slap the cuffs on him. You're under arrest. That's

I'll go back to the valley. I'll cut parking tickets. You know he
can't be like this. It is this way, man, I'm sorry I
expose you to it, but it is. It's ugly, but it's necessary.
I became a cop to put away drug dealers, the poisoners, the
criminals, not to be one sounds just like me, and I know what
you're going through. I know what you're feeling. You're scared. I'm not
scared as you want to terrified. Anybody goes through that. The first time
I went through as it the sona. You can match what's in your head.
That's what's going on in the real world. The better you're gonna feel
in this business, you're gonna I'm a little doun on you, queen.
Need to trust you and all this is behind you. It's gonna be a
home on the world that opens up for you. I walk a high and
pass sun, but I can give me the keys to all the doors were
my guys are pretty good. But then I leaders, then clowns. You're
a leading. You want my job? You got it. You want to
lock up poisonous. This is the best place to do it, but you
gotta just you don't take your time. You may detective and play the game.
You grow wise and then you can change things. But you gotta change
him from the inside. So let's go down down to the station. You
talk to my guys stand and then we'll walk key through. What you gotta
say to the da guys. Okay. This film has many great performances and
cameos from the aforementioned Hawk, Tom Barringer, Doctor Dre Macy, Gray,
Snoop Dogg, and Eva Mendez. But no mistake, the performance that is
not just the top in this film, but one of the greatest ever is
that of Washington. In our final clip. The unraveling of Alonso is complete
when men that Alonso allows to illegally operate in a local neighborhood do not take
Jake out when he commands them too. He loses all control and gives a
speech that many, my self included, feel is one of the most memorable
in cinema history. Oh you mother, okay, all right, I'm putting
cases on all you. Huh. You think you can do this, Jane,
You think you can do this to me? Your mothers will be playing
basketball and Pelican Bay when I get finished with you. Shoot program twenty three
hour Lockdown. I'm the man up in this. You'll never see the light
of dude, though you think you I'm the police. I rush you just
lift it. Yeah, that's wack. You better walk away. Gonna walk
away because I'm gonna burn this down. King Kong ain't got on me.
This film marked a major turning point for Washington. As I stated before,
it proved he could play the villain and do it well. It gave him
an added dynamic to his already awe inspiring range, So much so he has
went on to play other unscrupulous individuals in other films. While they are great
performances, they do not match the verocity and powerhouse performance he gives in this
film. This film was a hit. It was the second highest October opening
in cinema history, at twenty four point two million its opening weekend. The
only reason it opened in October is following the September eleven attacks, the film
was delayed by a month. It finished with one hundred and four point nine
million gross worldwide. It was nominated for two Academy Awards, Best Supporting Actor
for Hawk and Best Actor for Denzel Washington. Rightfully and Deservingly Washington one for
Best Actor. It has spawned a since canceled television series, and a prequel
of the film is currently in production. It is timeless and its realness,
rawness and unabashed power. I would recommend this film to anyone, no matter
what films they like. With my highest recommendation, I hope you will join
me next week when we will look up to the sky and answer is it
a bird? Is it a playing? Well? Maybe, but one thing
is for sure. It is the first comic book film blockbuster. We will
look at Christopher Reeves in the nineteen seventy eight film Superman the movie for WMNH
and Matt Connerton unleashed. This has been a classic film review with Derik Pilcher.
Guess who's banking Steve? He's still doing that time the show? Yeah,
