Here after watching Morgan talk about Denzel in the afi lifetime award ceremony 💗💗
Yes and the story makes so much sense now. Morgan is hilarious!
me too!!!
Same.
Me too!!
same haha
Aint that awesome that now Mr Freeman inducts Mr Washington
Pretty cool, for sure 👍
Glory was one of the best movies ever. Made me actually cry.
Thanks
Lol freeman told the same story when honouring denzel. So sweet
Mary Claudia yes I happened to catch that last night on RUclips:) cool eh
😂
I thought Morgan deserved an Oscar for 'Shawshank Redemption' too.
And "Street Smart. Peace.
Very odd he didn`t
The only problem he had was Forrest Gump.
@@blackwaterproduction289 No disrespect to forrest gump but shawshank is the greatest movie ever made or the greatest movie that ever will be made
@@ayanokojikiyotaka6988 Yeah I certainly respect your opinion, but I actually think that Forrest Gump was a better movie with top notch acting from Tom Hanks!
This is how a true gentleman speaks about another true gentleman !!!! Respect to both men for their huge contribution in the industry of movies ! without them Hollywood wouldn't be the same !
I love how Mr. Freeman salutes Mr. Washington at the end. Such a wholesome relationship.
They were both so great in "Glory". Denzel's performance in that film brings tears to my eyes.
Yeah that whipping scene is harsh.
One of the greatest movies of all time
What I love about Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington is that you'll be hard pressed to find a bad movie by either of them. I'm sure there are some especially since they've been in so many films but there aren't many and I personally can't think of one Denzel Washington movie that I didn't like.
Denzel my best actor ever
I have literally saw all of their movies and none of them are bad.
Denzel has the best 🚶 in hollywood hands down..
there's only 3 actors i hv immense respect for...
1. sidney poitier
2. morgan freeman
3. denzel Washington
3 of the Geatest actors period.
@@kikarias79 WTF!
Indeed!!!!
Yes, their very souls represent the long struggle since leaving Africa...it shows in their work.
Morgan. F. 1 Denzel W. 2. Sidney. P. 3 Respect Best ever
Two great Americans of our times , salute to both Gentlemen 🙏from india
Yes they are.
@Beta Simp if i did , i would give you all yurs taxes bak with interest 😎
I have tremendous respect, admiration and appreciation for these truly incredibly , amazingly talented gentlemen. Thank you Morgan , Thank you Denzel
You don't get better than Freeman and Washington. It's the standard of brilliance!
Denzel....the perfect gentleman on screen...I don't know his true character but I just hope he's just as gentle as he appeared in most movies. ..Bravo to him...and Bravo Morgan Freeman.
Yeah, Denzel was a sweetheart in Training Day.
tony my friend you impressed me by being so human in your comment ... the love for compassion and the hope that compassion be real ... because we do fear our hearts ... we all are afraid of our capability to pretend and not be. I myself am an old man and only once in my life have I been a bit selfless.
Fun part is that I got jailed for a short period for that one crowning moment of my life when I gave up my personal safety for a economically poor and physically oppressed kid, oppressed by a policeman so obviously police charged me with some fake case: no it was not that the kid was getting beaten up or something, the kid was getting raped by the policeman his step dad since age 11 till I found out and against my instinct for self-preservation I reported the crime. I am still having to spend money to defend that kid and still fighting the police.
If I could go back in time I would never do it again because life has become so tough since. I do feel ashamed that I say I would not do it again, that is because I am a very ordinary old person left alone by myself ... only because I didn't want to know a kid was getting raped.
I know it sounds kafkaesque, I myself didn't know Kafka's world does exist.
@@andreww7081 this comment is underrated😂
I dont think he was very gentle in the equalizers lol
Well spoken words by Denzel who speaks of a great man a great actor with a velvet smooth soothing voice that can make anyone feel at ease just talking to him Mr Morgan Freeman and Denzel himself another great man and a great actor truly honoring such a great man and fellow actor he's known for 29 years truly amazing and a pleasure to watch both of these 2 great actors just do they're thing God bless you both Morgan & Denzel it's a great pleasure for me just watching you both do something so well for years. 🙂👍
I saw that production of Coriolanus and Freeman was wonderful in that role. Ironically, I don't remember Denzel. Lol!
He did his job of dying……quickly
Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington, two of the greatest actors of all time, I am 63 and a white guy living in Australia, these two guys have stayed grounded their whole career, Jimmy Stewart and Spencer Tracy were great actors too, but not as good as MF and DW. and how Morgan Freeman didn't win the Oscar for his outstanding performance in The Shawshank Redemption is beyond logic.
He didn't win because of Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump. I don't think that's "beyond logic".
@@theoriginalthinker9199 Didn't know that Tom Hanks played a supporting character in Forrest Gump
Such words coming from Denzel is honorable.. well said
In this order ... Sidney Poitier ... Morgan Freeman ... Denzel Washington ... Jamie Foxx and (Samuel L. Jackson should be somewhere in between. Not because of his usage of the words "snakes motherfucker" but because his unique vocabulary, selected by him is often so correct for the role.
I Named my son mogan bcoz I admire him so even in the deepth of Africa , Uganda we love him so much.
Love this story!! Morgan told it back to him after all those years when honoring Denzel!!! Two Legends!!!!
He actually told to correct story... looll.
Morgan Freeman, the only actor who can play GOD and nailed it...
Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington - it just couldn't get any better than this duo!
Morgan gave Denzel the “ real nigga “ salute 😂😂💯
"Revelation: Enlighten, Express Heart, Glorify the Human Experience."
"They use to call me crazy Joe,but now they can call me batman!"
a Legend honoring another legend. I know now, what Morgan Freeman was talking about while he was praising Denzel in Afi, achievement. M. Freeman is definitely, I great actor and most importantly, a great human being!
I remember watching Morgan as a kid on Sesame Street my how he has gone and become a huge star and a brilliant man........
It was the Electric Company, produced by the Children's Television Workshop (now called Sesame Workshop
I just fell deeper in-love with my "Blackness"!
u have every reason to
Two Icons!!!
Two American treasures! I know this video is old (I just came across it tonight), but it is SO great to see this - especially now! We NEED leaders like these men in our government! People like Morgan and Denzel can ACTUALLY Make America Great Again!
Now lives on same patch of land that his grandparents once worked on.
Powerful historic links there.
Morgan Freeman...American Icon, IMO.
Morgan Freeman: the sexiest ugly man :-)
Two great men. Legends of our generation and the last of a dying breed
If I could come back as anyone it would be Morgan freeman.
Stunning men Morgan Freeman. With such intelligent !!!!!
I've always respected and loved both of these spectacular actors for their incredible acting abilities. What I love the most is how truly genuine they are and the fact that they're just amazing human beings.
They do like to pat their selfs on the back don’t they
The two black living legends
Morgan and denzel need to do a father/son movie
And for me 2 I'm proud to know English-language
Denzel being my main actor i admire.
Morgan Freeman is a National Treasure. That man has been in more movies... than Denzel.
" Shoes Sir, the man wanted a pair of shoes.... the man wants to fight like everybody else."
I love Morgan , he's god ! lol But I got to say Denzel has overtaken Hanks , in my mind , as my favorite actor !
Godfather of Acting Stage #Morganfreeman Legend
I'll make it my life mission to watch all of Denzel's and Morgan's movies...
SO MUCH RESPECT FOR ONE ANOTHER IT'S PALPABLE AND WELL DESERVED. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
The best who ever did it D W
Even at a young age I was drawn to Morgan Freeman, so very glad that his career finally caught up to him, love the guy,
White boy from NC.
Two of the best . End of story👍
Big respect and love to both of them ..my favorite actors of all times.
when you look at those great people all you can feel is....love ...and reverence ..
So, why does this shit that I watch in the middle of the night when I'm half in the bag make me cry so much? Dammit.
It’s nice to know such an emphatic person like me wasn’t alone. I cried too.
Touchin' tribute from one great to another.
I could watch THAT man walk ANYWHERE at ANY TIME🙌🏾😍....The movie Glory is where I first saw Denzel. We went to see this movie as part of a project, I was a sophomore in high school and completely clueless regarding the fight that these 'Negroe soldiers' had to endure just to serve in a war that wouldn't benefit them in the end at all, smh. The cardboard "boots" and Denzel's character getting whipped for daring to go and find him some damn BOOTS to continue on and fight, is what broke my 15 year old bratty self and immature self DOWN. This movie taught me more about US in 2 hours, than all of my school years combined, smh...When we left that movie and got on that bus, no one said a word. We were angry, disappointed, inspired and motivated...THAT'S how phenomenal Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman are, they made those characters speak from beyond the grave and you can't teach those emotions, you either got it, or you don't😍🥰😍
Nice one
Your comment has me in tears right now. Powerful story, thanks for sharing 👏
Mark Cleary 🥰You're so sweet..Ur welcome & thank you🤗
The way Denzel Washington delivers his speach and what he says 🙏 makes you want to be great!
the voice it all started for me in shawsahnk , what a man and an actor from an irish man
Great speech by Denzel, as always. He's now a greater actor than Morgan ever was. And what a great human being he is as well.
Weeell, let's not lose our heads. Denzel is a great actor, but greater than Freeman? I wouldn't say that with any certainty. Both can completely arrest an audience, command attention, impart real feeling, and carry a film.
lost ur mind
Why, in heavens name why, this compulsion to create competition? It's not a hundred-metre sprint. It is a brilliant younger man paying tribute to a brilliant older colleague and friend. See the beauty and enjoy the moment!
@@WalterLiddy agree, as good as Denzel is , he is not as revered as Morgan is by his own peers
I'm hoping there is a heaven , and im hoping when I get there God isnt too pissed when I look straight past him and start hunting around the room for Morgan Freeman. His calm assured nature is so warm and kind, I could sit and watch him read a menu for hours.

Love those two characters.
I Worked as an Extra In The Movie: REMEMBER THE TITANS In 1999! DENZEL Was There! ;) \O/ "Thanks D"! \O/ :) )) Regards From Brazil! \O/ ;) )))
Classy dudes the both of them. Love what they both do and who they are.
Thank you 🙏 for your support Mr. Washington
Thank you 🙏 for your support Mr. Freeman
Thank you 🙏 for your support Kennedy Centre
Don’t worry - I know exactly what is going on. I won’t say what now, because saying it now, may backfire on me.
But I have it figured out.
I admire you both immensely.
Thank you 🙏
I am big fan of Denzel Washington. The movie I liked the most is Antwon’s Fisher story in which he played the doctor. Love that movie.
Condolences to all the mothers, fathers, and families who lost their loved ones in Ukraine 🇺🇦.
The hardest thing a small RUclipsr can feel is when you wake up in the morning and nothing has changed on your channel, so plz i need your support very badly 🙏🙏 and one more think pray for Ukraine
Morgan Freeman has been 80 years for the past 50 years, bro
Woouha.... excellent Denzel, thank´s
Perfect tribute to a well deserved man
Beautiful speech from the heart
They're both great! These two made the industry just that much better. Thank you for the time you guys have invested providing us viewers with great entertainment.
Wow what good humans Mr. Freeman and Mr. Washington are, I am an old man and have seen a bit, but knowing straightforward humans has been the only memory that I would wish to retain (if I am allowed by nature). In any case we humans mess up the moment we try become.
Does Morgan Freeman ever age, dude been old like since time itself started...😊
Oh man, it all makes sense now 🔥🔥😭😭😭🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great actors both! I like how they show respect each other! And they spoke the same story
Denzel Washington is a gentleman and a superb actor. But Morgan Freeman is GOD.
𝗜𝗻 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗮 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲?
We need to strive to connect in a way where humanity becomes "as one man with one heart," meaning that each of us feels everyone and wishes for the benefit of all.
I have always LOVED Morgan
Morgan Freeman looking like Abraham Lincoln
Lol true
Denzel has the best male voice in the world, period!
Two men who make me glad and honored just to be alive in the same decades.
I like both of you guys.
Two great men. But...and I have to be honest here...when I heard Mr. Freeman was a pilot my first thought was...wow...I really would like to hear his conversations with the ATCs...LOL.
Faith is one of those words that is commonly used but not always understood. Some of that confusion comes from the many different ways the word faith is used in everyday conversation; a quick look at Dictionary.com
shows seven different uses! One common way that people use the word faith is to refer to belief in something despite lacking any evidence for it. But is that what the Bible means by faith? The answer is a resounding no! So, when the Bible uses the word faith, what does it mean?
The closest that the Bible comes to offering an exact definition is Hebrews 11:1: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” From this particular passage we see that the central feature of faith-confidence or trust. In the Bible, the object of faith is God and his promises. A clear example of this is Abram's encounter with God in Genesis 15. In response to God's promise of countless descendants, Abram “believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness” (Gen 15:6). Commenting on this, the Apostle Paul writes, “No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised” (Rom 4:20-21). Thus, faith means putting your trust in God and having confidence that he will fulfill his promises. Faith is more than intellectual agreement. To use an old illustration, imagine you are at Niagara Falls watching a tightrope walker push a wheelbarrow across the rope high above the falls. After watching him go back and forth several times, he asks for a volunteer to sit in the wheelbarrow as he pushes it across the falls. At an intellectual level, you may believe that he could successfully push you across the rope over the falls, but you are not exercising biblical faith until you get in the wheelbarrow and entrust yourself to the tightrope walker.
Genuine biblical faith expresses itself in everyday life. James writes that “faith by itself, apart from works, is dead” (James 2:17). Faith works through love to produce tangible evidence of its existence in a person's life (Gal 5:6). Put another way, the obedience that pleases God comes from faith (Rom 1:5, 16:26), rather than a mere sense of duty or obligation. There is all the difference in the world between the husband who buys his wife flowers out of delight and one who buys them simply out of duty.
Faith is so important because it is the means by which we have a relationship with God: “For by grace you have been saved through faith” (Eph 2:8). Faith is how we receive the benefits of what Jesus has done for us. He lived a life of perfect obedience to God, died to pay the penalty for our sinful rebellion against God, and rose from the dead to defeat sin, death, and the devil. By putting our faith in him, we receive forgiveness for our sins and the gift of eternal life.
So, faith means relying completely on who Jesus is and what he has done to be made right with God.
Faith is choosing to believe
First of all, the Christian faith professes an unreserved belief in the Bible, God’s Word to mankind - true, tested and unchanging. Faith is also full and unreserved confidence in God, in His love for me, and in His power to help me whatever comes my way in life. “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6.
Faith is a choice. I need faith to become a Christian. I choose to believe in Jesus Christ, that He died for my sins, and that by believing in Him, my sins will be forgiven. The promise is clear. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16. It is faith in a Person that saves a believing soul, not faith in a particular philosophy or a code of rules.
Every Christian will agree that salvation is a gift, not something we attain to by our own efforts. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9. To acknowledge my sin and repent from it is the first and vital step. But I still cannot save myself! “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23. To receive this gift, I must believe in and personally accept God’s gift to me in His Son. The forgiveness of sins is a wonderful beginning, and brings great joy to every true believer in Jesus. It is no small thing to have the burden and guilt of sin removed from my conscience!
What comes next?
So I am saved by grace through an act of faith. I choose to believe. Then what? Do I still need faith? Yes! If I want to live a life that pleases the Savior I have believed in. Though the guilt of sin is gone, the indwelling sin in my nature will still be the cause of many temptations. The next verse in Ephesians 2 tells us what God’s thoughts are for us after our initial experience of salvation. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10. So God has something far greater, and even more wonderful in mind for us after we have believed Him for forgiveness.
It is also written in Romans 5:10: “For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.” Jesus’ life was a life of action. “Though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.” Hebrews 5:8. To be saved by His life, I need a faith that leads me to action. Paul calls it the obedience to the faith. (Romans 1:5)
Jesus is our great Forerunner, and the author and finisher of our faith. (Hebrews 12:2) All the heroes of faith in the old covenant acted on their faith. They did something. Every one of them believed - and acted! By faith Noah prepared an ark, by faith Abraham obeyed, and so on. (Hebrews 11)
Go to action!
John writes simply: “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” John 1:4. It is this light of Jesus’ life that I need to walk in - go to action! If I really want to obey God’s good laws of life found in His Word, I will soon find myself in a battle
Almost all talk of battles and wars when concerning a Christian life refers to the inner battle that arises when a sinful thought tempts you. God’s Spirit and the flesh are at odds. When you have decided to only do...
, a battle against the sin the light reveals. This is the good fight of faith!
To win this battle, I need to believe in a power outside of myself, in the power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus Who has promised that He can save me, and that to the uttermost. (Hebrews 7:25) This ongoing salvation is a work of faith. It has nothing to do with my feelings, which can go up and down like a yo-yo. But when I believe God, and set my heart to obey, even against my feelings or my human understanding, then God goes to action too! He sends grace and help in time of need, and all honor for the salvation gained belongs to Him!
Faith opens the door to a victorious life! By faith, we can truly overcome as He overcame! “This is the victory that overcomes the world - our faith.” 1 John 5:5. I believe in His power to save. I believe that when I take up my cross and deny myself as Jesus did, or as the Scriptures also put it, am “crucified with Christ,” I will be victorious over sin and self. “I have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me and the life that I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20.
Faith is a precious possession! As we said to start with, it is not visible or tangible. However, Jesus said to doubting Thomas: “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20:29. Peter writes about this blessedness also. “… whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” 1 Peter 1:8-9. The result of a living faith is both visible and tangible! The disciples saw it and touched it in Jesus, and our calling as Christians is to come to this same joyful and glorious life - by faith! Come join us at Arundel Christian Church web site every Sunday morning LIVE!!!
Luv morgan alots!! Luv luv luv!!!❤❤❤❤❤
The agreeable sidewalk happily learn because tank pathophysiologically chew abaft a vigorous germany. savory, drunk wing
Thats what graciousness is, not attacking your friend for a joke that you didnt like. Will could have retorted wtih a nasty comment, even that would have been better. it takes composure and temperament which are the marks of great men.Anyway everybody makes mistakes, hope Will learn from this.
he looked at you poorly ohh my god
The xenophobic athlete originally disappear because orchestra weekly shelter mid a alluring scene. panicky, incredible hand
