You know its oscar nom worthy when Will Smith is making that "I'm on the verge of tears" face like he did in Pursuit of Happiness. I am for sure seeing this movie.
+Gordy Luft The Osacars..... if the academy kinda likes you and you shake enough hands you'd problaby get nominated over a good actor/movie, remember Jake Gyllenhaal or the lego movie last year?
+Gordy Luft I was extremly happy to see will smith in Pursuit of happiness acting to his potential, was upset he never won any oscar for it, hopefully he will with this one
+Gordy Luft Watch Fresh Prince S4 E24-Papa's got a Brand New Excuse. You knew he was gonna be big back then.
+Julio R. Jake got robbed.
+Gordy Luft You know, your comment could easily be interpreted as sarcasm, especially when you consider Will's done Oscar-bait films before.
Will Smith looking like Denzel Washington lol
+soubido denzel wouldve been perfect for this role
+MRJOETHEHOBO12 except he doesn't do accents
D. Foxx dont care
***** you should
+soubido so true lol
Me and my husband saw this movie and researched it. We decided to have our 5- year old son join basketball instead of football because of it. Luckily, he couldn't have cared less and we're very happy with our choice lol
How dare you! How will child grow up to become a Christian man now?! You will now need counseling to prevent him from become homosexual! Don't you understand?!! Don't you care what other people think and are going to say about you?!
@@alexkx8599 um... ok.
Soccer is a good option too. Now that they are thinking about banning headers for under 13
CorellianSombreroMann 235 makes sense. I’ve played soccer ever since I was five and sometimes those motherfuckers come at you harder and faster then they have any right to 😂
Basketball hello but as a kid I played tackle football I got a concussion but I still play it with my friends “face your fears” but be smart about it
Geez it feel like the NFL will send a hitmen squad after Will Smith
+Redem10 Well if he gets into a fight his mom'll get scared and tell him to move in with his aunty and uncle in Bel Air.
+rush92287 Well done, sir!
+Redem10 Don't worry buddy, Will Smith will send a suicide squad back to NFL
+Mike Lee beautiful
+Mike Lee I see what you did there and I liked it
"Tell the truth.....Tell the truth" Really sends chills down my spine, so authentic, I know I ain't the only one feeling that
+Raequon Jones My God, I thought I was the only one. It really does.
+Ivan Panev luuul
+crazypvp i don't think it's about sensitivity as much as it is liking shitty acting
You're joking right? That sent chills down your spine. You must live a sad life. That had to be the shittiest acting I have ever witnessed.
+HowDoIAim word.
"if you don't speak for them, who will?" Will will!!!
+Steve Williams nice
Williams Will lmao
I will
Hey Mr. Will !!! You're funny !! Thanks for the laugh 2 years after you posted it :) lol
Steve williams thanks for the laugh after four years
Will Smith really wants that oscar. LOL.
+Dalyxman You can almost see it in his teary eyes
lol
+Dalyxman So does Johnny Depp (Black Mass). So does Leonardo DiCaprio (The Revenant). So does Michael Fassbender (Macbeth). And Bradley Cooper is nominated _every single year_.
+MalcolmRandall Michael might get nominated for Steve Jobs.
+Dalyxman With that Nigerian accent, no doubt Lol.
Is will smith finally starting to show his age or is it all make up?
+Pofski Black don't crack
more than likely makeup because he doesn't look like that now
+Pofski make up
+Pofski he looks pretty good in suicide squad.
+Pofski Both
Anyone focusing on Will Smith's accent instead of the important issues raised by this movie should reexamine their priorities in life.
No.
@@Wurmo exactly. NO
I agree.
better get their head examined for CTE
or both goon.

+Sony Pictures Entertainment can i do it later?
+Sony Pictures Entertainment great
+Sony Pictures Entertainment Join the discussion, and pay us off if you don't like our original script.
+Sony Pictures Entertainment I am so sick of hearing people bitch and moan about player safety. They know what they are getting in to. They ARE getting compensated for all of their troubles. Most of these players are committing suicide because they were stupid with their money-ie broke, alcoholics, and drug users. They are making a living off of playing a GAME that they love. They know what they are getting in to. And there multi-million dollar contracts make more than sure they are getting compensated for the risks.
+John Williams What you said is a complete and utter lie. The average kid coming up from little league into college will not be educated on the dangers of football. And not only that but if it werent for people like Dr. Omalu, we would never even know the full scope of the dramatic brain injuries.
The fact that you could encourage this just shows how rotten a person you are and how badly we have to have a national discussion about this.
Players are retiring left and right because they are finally discovering the truth of the matter. Will some still play? I'm sure. But we need them to know the full extent of the damage they will take.
We need to discuss whether our children getting permanent brain damage is something hat we are okay with especially in football-centric towns across America.
JUST SAW THIS MOVIE, and wow did it give me chills. The people who are criticizing this and giving it bad reviews, have no heart it seems like. If you are a fan of sports or not, this movie is amazing in my opinion. And hey, so what if his voice didn't sound exactly like a nigerian accent? He did an amazing job nonetheless. It's such a sad and amazing film. Well done Will, well done.
I agree. Plus there's no such thing as an Nigerian accent. There's so many different dialog. People just stupid to understand great film now days.
+Aaron Villalobos This movie is AMAZING watching it now
saw it last night and it was a Excellent movie👌
Acting is ok,accent is bad. The rest,average!
+Aaron Villalobos Is "amazing" the only adjective you know??
When I was a child, I played football in Texas. I love football. I played my hardest, ran my fastest, and hit my hardest every play. 6 concussions later, I was diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy. My weak memory is annoying but it isn't as hard to deal with as my struggle with impulse control.
This comment was 4 yrs ago... I hope u r doing well now.
Please update us on your status and health how are you feeling? I pray you are doing well and staying strong.
Wrong!! CTE can only found out after an autopsy of your brain when you die.
@@RaikaTempest it can't only be diagnosed post mortem but that doesn't eradicate the fact that they have it. If all major factors, history, symptoms stem to CTE, then that's it.
@@Theone.fitness @Raika Tempest It's called a presumtpive diagnosis. You know what else relies on a presumptive diagnosis? Alzheimer's. And that's just one of many. You probably know of a family member who has it and I doubt either of you would have had this reaction.
I can't help but feel as though that "Tell the truth!" scene is gonna evolve into a meme.
+KashelGladio LOL I am sooo on it.....
+KashelGladio It's already a thing on the Doug Loves Movies podcast
+Jordan Cunningham What's your favorite Will Smith movie?
"Uhh... I don't know, I really like Independence Day but I..."
"TELL DE TROOTH!!"
+KashelGladio More like a GIF, but i feel you.... -__+
This film was depressing as fuck. But of course the NFL doesn't care. Shit, nobody cares.
+TheBookWorm1718 Do kickers suffer head trauma?
+Lambsquad_90 - Well, I know after this film I will do all I can to keep my boy out of football. I know that's sad to say to many, but I can't help it.
+Lambsquad_90 Word.
+Captain Goku - Fair enough, but still, you didn't have to call me names, Captain.
+Lambsquad_90 At least there is a film about the NFL. Nobody really cares about boxing or MMA which obviously should not be allowed in intelligent society. I understand the desire to compete in a physical contest and be the champion of a sport but I can't support the slow or quick deaths of even willing athletes for the purpose of entertainment or money.
It's over for the NFL. Thanks for getting the truth out Dr. Omalu.
+B Kalley more like the players don't care about it at all while their playing, no matter what anyone tells them.
+nph53 There's a group of retired players who are suing NFL for their head traumas from multiple concussions.
+B Kalley It doesn't matter what the fans say, as an NFL legend said in the book and documentary this movie is based on, once the mothers see what this can do to their kids, they won't let them play anymore. Fewer and fewer players at the college level means there is no one to move to the NFL. Colleges will make the right decision long before the NFL will ever give up, because they are institutions that are supposed to be focused on IMPROVING one's mind, instead of destroying it. Once we reach a tipping point, it will all slowly dissolve away.
It's not over for the NFL, far from it. Men will continue to play football because of the riches it brings. It's good that the facts of head trauma are available so that an informed decision can be made. But it's just like the risk of lung cancer with cigarettes. Even knowing the risks hasn't crippled or stopped the tobacco industry.
+Keith Hickson
thr problem for the NFL isn't the men wanting to play its parents allowing their children to play. you have to have young players available to replace the beaten up broken ones and I dont know about you but as a parent can you honestly say you'll let ur kids play for a organization that for years denied the sport caused these types of injuries and refused to pay to help take care of their retired players?
Sad thing when Nigerians only worry about an accent instead of the story of the man whose story will smith is telling. SMH. . Always critical.
Accent is very important. If it wasn't, the story would be told without the accent.
Of course the story is important, but cinema isn't only about how something is written down.
+NOA i have seen Nollywood movies and most of those actors don't speak proper English. Will is American. Learning a new accent isn't easy otherwise, many Nigerians in the US would have pure American accents. The criticism is misplaced.
+hatimjm1 to be fair, they are coming from a different language altogether.
I don't see Nollywood actors making $100,000,000 films though.
Complaints about accents are always valid in acting. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a skill that is part of the craft.
+hatimjm1 your kidding me, right? I haven't met a Nigerian that didn't speak english better than the queen. lol
+NOA The message of the story is more important than his accent.
I think the American Government suffers from concussion...
+Jane Huzrad except they haven't suffered from dementia and died yet...
+Jane Huzrad Yeah, Uncle Sam has been smashing his head on oil barrels ever since. What did you expect?
+Quilliam Attari And he's been smashing it into other countries in the name of Global Security, when in reality it's jingoistic hegemony.
+TPDManiacXC626 lol
***** I've been reading Noam Chomsky's Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance. Noam knows what he's talking about and I'm STRONGLY anti-jingoism.
All those who say "will smith plays the same character in every movie"...how about now?
+Kal Elwait till you see the movies he has coming up like collateral beauty where he plays a marketing exec battling depression or some shit
Exactly! I think he is a very good actor, & I havefor years, ever since he was on Fresh Prince of Bel Air. This man is great at his craft, and although he is not a over the top , character a method actor, like Johnny Depp for instance, he is an amazing actor none the less. I'm glad other people, millions of people in fact, have this opinion as well. I get so sick of people who have never acted in their lives, never worked on a movie set in their lives, or had any experience in the entertainment industry, in their lives to bitch and complain about what they think and how they think a television show,movie or any production should be done in any aspect. They have no right, they have no say, and they don't know what the hell they're talking about. Yes I'm a makeup artist and I can say this. My mother is a teleprompter and transcriptionist, and I am a transcriptionist as well. My aunt is a producer,editor,and director. So before anybody wants to get smart with me, and show their ass, just know I do have experience. And just like Quentin Tarantino said in a quote, "I didn't go to film school, I just watched a lot of movies."
+Par Ker hating ass bitch
+GetTheF OuttaHere Do what your name says then shut the fuck up
Par Ker Idris Elba is a very good actor and so is Will Smith. Talking to people like you just did is highly disrespectful and immature. Once you learn how to communicate in a positive way with people, your life will be so much easier. If you haven't seen the movie yourself, don't go by what others say. Now sit down and learn some respect for others.
The only reason people have a problem with the accent is that it seems weird coming from Will Smith's mouth. It's a damn good accent. Close your eyes and listen to the trailer. Then you'll realize how good it is.
+Mizzah Tee no its not - at all. your probably one of those people who aren't well traveled so any african accent sounds like every african accent.
+Mizzah Tee It's much lighter and easier to pick apart than the real Dr Omalu's, I think he's doing a delightful job for someone who is not from Nigeria.
+Jabba U no it's good in a sense that he's American and isn't trying to make his portrayal to seem more like a caricature than an actual person
don Cheadle is an american as well. and his rewandan accent in hotel rewind was perfect. kerry washington's accent in Last King of Scotland was perfect. there is no excuse whatsoever. Chiwetel Ejiofar is Brtitish but his Southern accent in 12 years was spot-on as well. again, no excuse.
Gordon Millar day lewis would've got it down perfect. and thats the differnence.
I cried while watching this movie, not because it's sad, its because how mighty these Doctors are, and how hard they have worked.
Will's Nigerian accent..... idk man
+Kdizzle206 i hear you man
+Kdizzle206 not too bad. Way better then how he sounded in after earth. This accent is hard to pull off for anyone.
+Kdizzle206 idk it sounds alright to me. Other people have a problem with it too tho.
It's just gunna be hard to hear it throughout the whole movie..if someone had that authentic accent it would've been great like 'Djimon Hounsou" from Blood Diamond
+Kdizzle206 He's not quite Dr. Omalu, but he's pretty close for casting an American actor.
I just saw this movie...and I was totally broken DOWN with relief and gratitude to GOD that I never allowed either of my sons to play football. As a parent you try to do your best by your children, sometimes you fail. In this one decision, I was right. I was right...I immediately called my older son and told him about this movie and how POWERFUL it is..so powerful....I encourage EVERYONE to see it and I pray that the Football gods find a solution. I love the game but not at this price. Never at this price.
Soft played football all my life your songs going to be soft
Yep, Will Smith should have been nominated for an Oscar for this movie. Will is a incredibly gifted actor and an amazing singer! He captured his character exactly. Wonderful acting. The integrity of Doctor Omalu in real life is inspiring! He was the one to diagnosis this chronic brain damage. Having been born in Nigeria, he wasn't brainwashed by big $ sports. Thank you for making this film.
Will Smith won for playing Serena and Venus Williams father for King Richard
mens problems are not oscar worthy in this society anymore
Powerful message - hope the NFL will stop denying the dangers of the sport.
Can't wait for its release.
Spoiler alert… they still haven’t
Im surprised the NFL gave permission for them to use the logo and actual teams for this movie
+Dominique Cruz If the NFL had said no, it could have been much worse for them I'm sure.
+Lady Kayura I stand corrected. You are right they don't need ask the NFL for permission to use its logos as long as those trademarks are used as intended.
+Dominique Cruz Technically they don't have to ask for the right to use it. As long as they properly list it as property of the NFL in the credits they can use it however they want.
they don't even show that they used actual names in the trailer haha. Which the NFL didn't want them to so there aren't any real teams in the movie.
+asendejo7 the NFL is a non-profit organization. As long as they're not being libeled, all is fair.
My husband was a high school football player all star and went on to play college football and was offered a nfl position. Football destroyed his body and we figured out on our own that the concussions have affected his memory and thinking. Haven’t seen the movie yet, gonna watch it tomorrow night. I imagine it will be emotional as it hits close to home!❤
How is he doing now?
Whats his name?
I don't understand why this movie didn't do well in the box office.
Does everyone in America has CTE? I mean I like American Football myself, but not that much to just blindly ignore what is as plain as daylight. Concussions kill. Very silently. Very slowly. Very painfully.
No football in america is as. Rugby is in Ireland
@@deyluhnas what? Do you have a concussion?!
Lucky Eddy no I dont
@Robbi Grimm I was comparing how popular the sport is in America to how popular the sport is in other parts in the wold
The medical information available is sufficient enough to be sick of american football. And if it isnt, did you sign your kid up for it lately? Because i mean, you wouldnt do THAT, would you?
People !!!...People !!!...lets chill with the Oscar predictions for now till the movie comes out.... OK ?
+william Aggrey-Orleans If it does well I could see him get a nomination but I think Leo for Revenant and Fassbender for Jobs will be hard to beat out...
+Patrick Fisher Depp, Black Mass
Yea Depp will be tough be beat as well, good crop this year.
+Patrick Fisher Don't forget Eddie Redmayne!
+Patrick Fisher Definitely
it was a beautiful film that speaks volumes about modern society. Unfortunately humans are inherently violent creatures and we're drawn to it like a moth to the flame.
Sad and precise analogy there!
Repetitive head trauma is harmful.... Good god!!
Repetitive head butting CAUSES head trauma.
good lord :0
+pointlesscastaway I know it seems obvious but have you ever seen the amount of thought that goes into making a football helmet? It seems pretty fair to me that people think that their equipment will protect them.
+pointlesscastaway The nature of brain damage caused by repetitive head trauma was very vaguely understood until Dr Omalu discovered CTE. The human brain is still the least understood organ of the body.
+Pankaj Rastogi the brain damage doesnt mean only physical injuries, but also nerves and anger!
Dang will smith and the fresh prince of bel air look the same anyone else realize that are they brothers or cousins?
Lmao nah you trippin
They are the same person...........
+Noah Raymond they father and son idiot
Yes they are father and son. This is common knowledge...
Yep, father and son! So much alike, hey!?
"Tell the truth.. Tell the truth!" Gives me chills every time
Its about time that a film like this comes out, which - unlike so many other films which glorify football - actually shows the gritty reality of the game. Long after the stadium lights go off and their fame fades, these men have to endure the debilitating consequences that are the product of a society that somehow twisted our notion of manhood and sportsmanship to entail destructive violence. I always found it odd that so many self-professed Christians have no problem letting their kids idolize and relish such life destroying violence, but then loath the private consenting sexual habits of others. These compassionate followers of Jesus derive great pleasure from two men irreparably damaging each other's brains, and even idolize them for it, but if these two men wanted to do something as simple as marry one another, they are treated as the most vile creatures. If that isn't a misplacement of moral priorities, I don't know what is.
Wow...That was kind of brilliant
+will smith sorry, I couldn't read the stupidity of your comments without commenting myself: you are are a close-minded absolutely mindless football fan. Saying brain trauma doesn't affect ALL football players is like saying cancer isn't bad because it doesn't affect all people. Look up the SI article to learn about how there are nfl players in their late 40s who can't dress themselves...
Je
Kutlu Mızrak im confused? so your saying i should be more direct with it? how direct do you want me to get!?
Kutlu Mızrak what? are you trying to be politically correct with me? dude whatever goodbye
How this movie didn't win an Oscar is beyond me! Will Smith did a fantastic job and it really exposed the truths behind CTE which is REAL and only those who have the disease/condition truly know the immense pain it causes! It really touched me seeing these NFL superstars commit suicide and leave their families in ruins! Anybody who loves sports should watch this film!
I feel sorry for the people who can't get over minor deficiencies of this movie, it was incredible, in my opinion.
Hollywood for once will it kill you to do actual research on Accents. We don't sound like that in Nigeria. Jeez.
+Rex Ibook Eyoita and Nigerians need to learn how to speak in American accents. One can barely understand what they say half of the time.
+hatimjm1 why? Did you colonise us? Do French people ask Americans to speak in fresh accents. Does America own the English language? No.
+Rex Ibook Eyoita you are asking an American to speak like a Nigerian...how possible that?
+Rex Ibook Eyoita "Do French people ask Americans to speak in fresh accents" Dude, aren't you doing the same thing with WILL SMITH? You are asking an American born and raised man to speak like a Nigerian...
hatimjm1 if you read my first comment very well, you will see I wrote will it kill Hollywood to do actual research.
He's an actor. They are trained to fake accents so don't give me that. With proper research and training he could sound like an actual Nigerian and not like what he sounds like.
it's about damn time Will! I hope he gets an Oscar, but there will be tough competition again. This looks good. His accent isn't over the top either. Not bad.
Joyner lucas bring me here.
Me tooo lmao.
Me too
Same
SAME. Lmao. I'm like
...concussion? Huh. Lemme google this.
Dude, like seriously, like Will Smith is more than an icon or an legend to me, man. He is my motherfucking hero. Out of his famous movies, this was one of them, the other four that I didn't watch before is Shark Tale, I, Robot, Wild Wild West, Enemy of the State and this one. Honestly, I didn't even know that he acted as a African, nevertheless, pull off an African accent. That shock me for real. I'm definitely seeing this one. Believe it.
Next I'd like to see Denzel in a movie about the Doctor who discovered Irritable Bowel Syndrome, just make sure to focus in on the dramatic dialogue, the intense facial expressions and put an emotional score behind it. All the comments will say; "Oscar!"
+Absolutesublime1 Plenty of doctors have already discovered International Boar Semen. internationalboarsemen.us/
I think the point this one is going to drive is how this doctor stood up to the NFL, one of the most publicly idolized corporations. That and it's Will Smith, everyone's favorite black actor. So he is pretty much guaranteed an Oscar
+Gordy Luft Eh I just don't think it will translate to that much of an appealing cinematic experience personally. I've seen documentaries on it which were interesting though. I think most viewers will have that mindset though of seeing a famous actor, hearing dramatic lines and music and like you, think; guaranteed oscar. The performance may be great but the concept just doesn't seem to be something that will draw in acclaim. I guess it comes to down to perception though.
+Absolutesublime1 You had me at Doctor Who.
+TheBurek touche :p
Here we are 7 years ago.. Will Smith just gave Chris Rock his first concussion.
2 YEARS LATER AND I STILL GET GOOSEBUMPS
Nice senior quote "tell the truth! TELL THE TRUTH!!!" Too late now, I graduated :(
I think this movie was incredible. So interesting!
You are absolutely right Martina. We learned a lot about concussion after watching this film, really worth it.
I thoroughly enjoyed Smith's acting and the whole story.I think "Concussion" should easily get a basket full of Oscars in all the major categories.
it was a great movie
nmessai215 Yes I watched this movie with people who are all football fans and we all agree that it was not submitted for an academy award in any catagory because of the power of the NFL.The filmakers were lucky enough to be able to make and distribute the film.But to nominate "Concussion" for an Oscar would have caused political power problems between the NFL and Hollywood.
Totally agree and i see that is unfair to not nominated this movie for the Oscar award
Slm-alm91 It surely was UNFAIR !! Why ? I know that the movie did not go over well the NFL.The NFL views brain trauma as a direct threat to the revenue of their giant corporate spider. The film industry borrows from them and there are interlocking,overlapping interests. Truth be told,it is a miracle that this film ever saw the light of day and was not surpressed. That fact gives me a little hope.
There were far more worthy movies that year.
Anyone here after Chris rock outburst???🤣
i am
yuppppppppp hahaha
Lol everyone is whining about Will Smith's accent when what matters most is the message of the movie (the NFL is a huge propaganda machine that keeps the sheeple entertained). I guess stupid is as stupid does. Football sucks
I'm more of a British football fan,if you get what i mean...
+RyGuy94 Most of the people whining about his accent do not even know what the accent should sound like. Nigeria has over 100 languages, of which there are over 250 dialects, and most of them sound completely different from one another. There is no "Nigerian" accent like people are complaining about. If people actually listen to one of Dr. Bennet Omalu's interviews or speeches, they would quickly realize the "accent" Will Smith is using is being templated off of him. Unfortunately, people seem too lazy to do any research before forming opinions.
+RyGuy94
The NFL is in it for the money; no surprise there...but the lengths they'll go to ta get ratings and Sunday viewership while covering up player injury and abuse is disgusting.
+RyGuy94 for what it's worth, I grew up idolizing Dave Mirra, I've been making bicycles hover since 5 years old, and I'm certain I have CTE that's compounding other genetically predetermined mental problems. extreme sports are a problem, too.
Will Smith's the one delivering the message, so it makes a difference when he cannot embody all aspects of the person he's playing.
I just watched the movie and I think it's a great movie. WS totally transformed himself for this one. I would have a hard time believing it was him if I didn't already know. One of his absolute best performances yet!
Before you play football, watch this movie
Griffin Lamp people should do what they want...
thedarkknight646 doesn't mean they shouldn't be aware of the consequences.
True but the NFL doesn't really care about the player's health! Very unfortunate!
@@СлаваРоссия-у7ж they are not forced to play. They all know the consequences.
I still play football lol
A very good movie. It has deeper meanings than accents as some are focusing on how well Smith acted the accent. His accent was very convincing. You don't want to make the accent very very close to reality as most wouldn't understand the conversation and you start concentrating on what is said instead of the drama plot.
"If you don't speak for them, who will?"
"Will will."
Just saw the movie concussion. My kid will never play football >> My wife said that after the movie
Let him try an actual sport like football (the one where u kick a ball) and basketball.

Scott Sanderson?
GodsSon __ that’s a baseball player
Will Smith does his best Obama impersonation in this movie
😂😂😂
lmao he was trying to pull of a nigerian accent
He don't have the talent to, and it sounded racist
Why didn't they just hire an African actor? Will Smith's fake Nigerian accent is terrible
you should be grateful they didn't heir white man to do the role lool
Chiwitel Ejiofor would have sufficed, igbo man as well
***** I am Nigerian. He did not. lol
"Tell the truth, Tell the truth"
It's embarrassing. He didn't even try at all. He followed the guy around and that's the best he could do???????
Firstly, with all the people ranting that Will Smith's Nigerian accent is wack, please take several sits at the back.. #1 there is no one accent in Nigeria, as a Nigerian, we are one of the world's most diverse nation in terms of culture, religion etc. An Igbo person sounds very different from a Yoruba or Hausa individual. We have over 250 Dialects in Nigeria alone, so there is truly nothing like a Nigerian accent. #2 This is a very serious subject matter that needed a very high profile actor. CTE affects even children, so Will Smith as an actor is an excellent person to spread the word. Yes David Oyelowo could have done grt as well as Chiwetel Ejiofor cos of there Nigerian heritage, but sorry, they didn't, so stop whining and enjoy the movie. Will Smith is still one of the best actors alive, who embodies each character in an amazing awe inspiring way. I can't wait to see this movie. I am moved already by the Trailer
+K Kelly I absolutely agree, there is no one accent in Nigeria.
+K Kelly Agree with everything, except the bit about Will Smith being "one of the best actors alive". But yes, the rest is spot on!
+retro He is one of the best actors alive lol. I'm curious to see your list.
+retro def ONE of the best...how do you define acting talent? I'm with Barber on this one..I'd like to know your reasoning..or not..it's your opinion so it isn't justified by anything substantial. But would still be nice to know :)
Nope uh-uh that accent was atrocious. Yes we have many dialects, but it's not impressive when you can't even properly emulate one. Let alone the person you're trying to embody in the film. This isn't even the first time this has happened. It's occurred with multiple films. If David and Chiwetel can accurately portray American accents and embody the characters that they play , why can't Will Smith ( a person who has been in the industry longer than them)? Is that a sign of a good actor to you? There are American actors that portray European accents perfectly. Smith's accent seems half-assed and uncommitted. Signs of not a good actor.
Deadshot and Killer crock.
LoL
+ActiveGamerLife i understand deadshot, but why killer croc
Joel Amoah Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is the bald black dude in the trailer. He's the actor playing Killer Croc in Suicide Squad...
Mizzah Tee ohhhhhhhh
+ActiveGamerLife Stop with this super heroes geek shit jokes. Please.
This movie is truly amazing and the performance of Will Smith was spectacular. 10/10
His Nigerian accent is appalling, why Jesus. He clearly didn't do his research into what makes a truly Nigerian accent, because this is just abysmal. Hollywood could have used SEVERAL black actors who are actually african and could have pulled off the naija accent O.O
It was a great movie. The accent didn't affect much to me. Probably only Nigerians for the most part but everyone else it didn't matter much to
Well dumbass he's African American why not?
I can do a better Nigerian accent and I'm Egyptian, it's from hanging out with some Nigerians in my country...he could have spent more time socializing with Nigerians and paid more attention to the way they talk. I mean, actors are supposed to be good at imitating. Good movie though, eventhough his accent was distracting.
Don Cheadle is African American and did an amazing accent in hotel Rwanda
I'm so glad I don't live in America after watching this movie...
+Kyle 400 #sadboyz didnt see the movie but i guess you can find bad stuff about your country in with ever you live...
limso cro Go watch the movie then come back and talk to me....
Kyle 400 #sadboyz ok ill do it tonight :)
you never came back
penzoil1010 i was planing to watch it but something got in the way when i see it i well recall to you ;)
I love this movie. I am so glad that Will made this movie to show that human beings were not made for violent games like football. We do not have the natural ability to protect consistent head blows even with a helmet. Only certain animals have this natural ability. It's a game for greed. Mothers who have sons that want to play football need to go see this movie. Will Smith was explicit!
Soooo…. why are Americans still playing and watching football?
This movie shows the dark side of 🏈
You got Will Smith, Alec Baldwin, Albert Brooks in what looks like a tension-filled drama. This I gotta see.
We need a film about rugby and other sports, in the same regard. The doctor is to be commended for speaking out against powerful vested interests, and the damage being done to people. Excellent film.
Will Smith is a great actor.
+Alain Bruno he is my favorite actor!
+Alain Bruno I love all the movies he plays in
+Alain Bruno he is old
+Alain Bruno you again -_-
+ryandc ranchdel He's only in his 40s, what is wrong with you bro? Look at Tom Hanks, age is just a number when it comes to acting.
I think will smith is the best actor. What do u guys think?😕
+Sa Ba You told the truth, You told the truth!
+Sa Ba Negative ghost rider that honor goes to Tom Hardy. IMO
+Patrick Fisher nope
+dradra2day Tom hardy is on the rise avd an absolute beast. And a much better actor than will Smith. You can't even compare the two
+Sa Ba Daniel Day Lewis is the best actor of our generation. He's won more Oscar awards than anyone, ever. Will Smith has yet to win a single academy award.
This movie pretty much shows why the NFL is so dangerous to play.
4 real!
Lots of money to be made. The smart ones will get out sooner than later. I am a Vikings fan and remember when Robert Smith retired in his prime leaving a lot of money on the table but in retrospect that seemed pretty smart of him.
After the Oscars, Will Smith and concussion take on a whole new meaning lol....
People just love to moan and whine about side issues while ignoring the bigger picture. The movie is a great story showing serious implications to health. Yet, many comments on here are about the ''accent.. oh, the accent.. blah, blah, the accent''.
There isn't a single Nigerian accent because Nigeria is a massive country with hundreds of dialects and accents. So please get over yourselves.
This is literally one of the best movies I've ever watched.
Its been 8 years since this film came out...the number of cases of CTE exploded (as expected when dealing with first findings) however...the number of players that have died by way of suicide, verses natural causes are pretty much even...and although that number is reducing due to new concussion protection and protocols, there is still a insurmountable players that haven't stepped into the light of testing, but show signs of CTE through actions based questionable character issues. 8 years later and I think about the Tua Tagoviola's, the Teddy Bridgewater's, the Adrian Peterson's, the Steve Atwater's, and David Fulcher's...The Antonio Brown's, the Vontez Burfect's, Hines Ward's, the Sebastian Janokoski's, the Chris Mohr's and those are just a few of the modern day players over the past 30 years...big hitters, tough runners, fearless pass catchers, and throwers. But also think about the John Riggin's, the Larry Csonka's, the Deacon Jones's, the Fran Tarkenton's, the Marion Motley's, and Marion Barber's (what would possess a man to have his thermostat up to 91° while sleeping?...CTE)...I could go on and on and on...and still never name enough, because according to NFL player protection statues, the NFL is only responsible for players health post merger of the AFL and NFL...so anything before that is shit show of mysteries we'll never know about.
For as long as there is money involved, human health, safety, and life will always be secondary.
And the worst part beyond that is the NFL will never change...they don't have to...because as long as you and I love this sport, (and trust me, WE LOVE THIS SPORT)...the game will likely outlive us all.
Here's to the men; gladiators, warriors, supermen, the deceived, the misinformated, misguided, and misled...may you find your way to the eye of the storm ⛈️.
its shocking how you the industry has so much Power.... that you ask people around about this movie and over 80% of them tell you that they have never even heard of this movie... this a clear answer of how powerful is Money to control over the pure Truth
Just saw the movie. Amazing performance. Love it. This madness must be stopped !
I appreciate when I see actors using different accents and languages to portray their characters. I know it is more critical in biopics like Concussion, but even when Jason Bourne spoke other languages it lifted the movie.
the irony of someone who made a movie titled concussion and then knocking another man in the head.
such an underrated movie
"When I was a boy in Nigeria..."
Apparently you should start with the truth here too.
Great and inspirational movie, I must say.
Great film. I hope WS makes another one with this director.
The type of movie that will stay in your head for years to come! 10/10!!!
Just finished watching this film & I’m definitely gave it 9 on imdb.
I've had post concussion syndrome for a few months now and feel like nobody really gets it... It happened at work, so unfortunately I'm left jumping through hoops and trying to justify how I feel constantly. I look well on the outside, but internally I'm a mess... My cognitive abilities have been changed and I'm generally not myself even on the best of days. My focus is nearly non existent and I'm very easily distracted by the silliest things.
The anger, depression and anxiety that I feel on a daily basis is real... At first I pushed to go back to work to feel normal and have found myself prolonging my healing process.... Though my symptoms have calmed down I am pushed to try to return to work even though I'm not really able to work ft time. I'm ok when I'm at home, but when you starting adding people in, noise and lights it all gets so overwhelming. I'm expected to modify my environment by wearing sunglasses inside, bringing ear plus along or possibly adding a brimmed hat to wear while I work inside with children.... it's so frustrating and emotionally draining....
I'm totally going to check this movie out! My memory is getting better, but my Short term memory is greatly affected :(
So are they admitting in this movie that the NFL wanted to fight the fact that their players were in medical danger? Isn't that a huge problem?
Glad to see Will Smith in, what looks to be, a good role again
People are confounded by people not understanding banging heads is bad for you.
But there was a time where people didnt kniw a lot about head trauma.
As a kid I bust my head open and had to go to the er and get it treated and it still has lasting effects. The treatment was alrighr but different protocol then they do now and it may be why i have lasting effects
1:33 Oscar performance right there
Will didn't think about head trauma when he smacked Chris Rock in the head.
I have never had a Concussion during Football. But I can say, I have had a Concussion when I was Seven years old and it hurts. It really does hurt.
*"You're going to war with a corporation that owns a day of the week"*
Haha that's true I never actually thought about it that way
lets be real the players know that getting hit for a living isnt good for you. They are not that dumb that they think serious damage isnt being done to them. Players play because often its the way the can make the most money.
If you told me I could live to 50 as a rich famous millionaire or live to 75 as an average joe, I think I choose to the short life of a a rich famous man.
+EasySnake yeah i guess thats why in the past 2 years about 7-10 players have retired in their early to mid 20's due to concussions. Yes players are aware getting hit isn't good but they are aware of the severe problems those injuries cause in the future. Players who have concussion problems are waking up now and cutting their careers short before its too late.
ag2407 The vast majority of players are choosing to stay in the NFL as long as possible. The vast majority of NFL players end their careers because they are cut and cannot find another team.
+EasySnake Ok I still don't get your point? They are still not aware of the long-term side effects of concussions. These are kids in their early 20s with little to no knowledge of neurology, I think this movie will wake players up and have them make more conscious decisions.
ag2407 you underestimate players, they know the consequences. they are choosing to play despite all of the evidence. (I am speaking about the vast majority)
Actually listen to players talk about it.
ftw.usatoday.com/2014/12/bears-chris-conte-die-earlier-nfl-concussions
"I'd rather have the experience of playing and, who knows, die 10, 15 years earlier than not be able to play in the NFL and live a long life."
-Chris Conte
Many players dont come from privileged backgrounds. Its NFL or hard labor at low wages for most.
***** you are probably a relatively well off privileged person.
Trust me grinding poverty that many players come from makes being happy very difficult. eg. you try to be happy while being evicted.
The NFL will always have players because of the systemic poverty in this country.
Such a good movie! Will Smith deserves an Oscar!
+Lauren stop smoking meth.
He is nominated for a Golden Globe.
+Lauren Fine.. Will Smith I officially nominate you for #ShitAccentOfTheYear
+davidallenroth it was a great movie, especially for sports fans. You must be on meth
I'm a rugby man and because of him we can save many more men from being a victim of there own success
My gym teacher was one of the football players in the movie 😂
I've been going to the movies recently and have been observing the controversy among the best movie nomination.
While i haven't seen some of the other movies in question, I have seen The Martian and Concussion. The Martian could be nominated for an award for a fiction move. Anyone who has seen Concussion will agree that Will Smith gives a remarkable professional performance in the more nonfiction current event movie. Will Smith deserves a standing ovation for his performance in Concussion.
That was one of the WORST Nigerian accents I have EVER heard.
I can see why he didn't get nominated for a Oscar.
+M I G I it doesn't matter if the movie was amazing if his voice acting is shit hes not going to get nominated
hahaha
+melwise2007 Well he and the movie were good, but everyone and every movie that was nominated was just better. That he plays the racism card is actually just retarded. He really lost so much respect since then. Also he basically said that atleast one of the nominees was not as good as him. I dont think that shows any greatness..
+M I G I for someone who has not seen so many
+801QSC the voice acting is great because in the movie the protagonist is nigerian ,. Shut your mouth !!
It has been a very long time a trailer didn't spoil the whole movie !
I have already saw this movie a couple days ago. It's a great great movie! I strongly suggest to watch it. It's worth every penny you spend. I started noticing will smith declining after the pursuit of happiness. But this movie put him back on the map😊
Amazing movie from start to finish. Especially from the viewpoint of being a sports fan and a high school/college football player.
Great film my wife showed me it ! The NFL is a joke ! Lost my respect for them !
I get chills every time I see Smith say “Tell the truth!
love will smith
