I feel stupid. I know today was an off day, but that doesnt justify why I was like a kid. I know she was embarassed by me and she has the right. I was like a kid today. For no reason at all should I have been acting like that, and it pisses me off. I want her to be proud of me, and I have to give her reasons to be. I need to be better.
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 sneak 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 video seems to mean a lot to me. Forever reblog.
Are you fucking kidding me. Will Smith’s father has been a major part of his life all his life and Will credits him to being a strong driving force in it. He’s just a damn good actor.
