If I had to pick a band: Coldplay
and the song would be Fix You
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 justSmith was raised by his parents in West Philadelphia. Smith credits his father’s dedication when discussing his own involvement in the lives of his three children: “I look at my father and how he was able to keep four kids fed and clothed and still managed to find time to spend with us.”
Either way this is a great scene
So I just saw these on Twitter
God, I feel so helpless. Just keep the awareness going. That’s all we can do.
I AM REBLOGGING LIKE CRAZY WHY AREN’T ALL OF YOU DOING THE SAME?! DOES THIS MEAN NOTHING TO YOU?
reblogging achieves nothing but making tumblr more aware than they already are. It doesn’t stop what’s happening.
I’m crying.
