- For the first time, Will Smith is taking over the Red Table with his three kids to open up about the most grueling and transformative time of his life - making the movie “Emancipation.” In this deeply intimate and revealing Red Table Talk, Will recounts how for the first time in his career he nearly ‘went too far’ and almost ‘lost himself.’ Will shares the biggest revelations of his life, a horrific moment he experienced while filming and a co-star who refused to speak to him. Trey, Jaden and Willow ask their father questions about how he was able to recover from the trauma of playing such an intense character. Plus emotional surprises from director Antoine Fuqua, co-star Ben Foster and Will’s #1 fan in the world: his

Will's oldest Son is such a beautiful soul - it's nice to see the kids together❣
Absolutely ❤❤
I agree 😊
YES!! When Will was explaining how deep one can go and not be able to return back to himself. To hear His oldest son say "JESUS" 11:06 and Will glance over at him was very Powerful and NEEDED to be said at the exact moment!
He Is gay
It didn't sound like he was saying it as ''Jesus is the Way'' more like he was using it to express an emotion of shock about the process. @@blugordon7808
I love the way he explains things to his kids...you can tell they respect him and listen to what he says.
Pffff. It's all for the cameras. Maybe to some extent they listen but not to everything or most things.
@@bboyStuntZbut how many kids or people listen to everything their parents say
@@kwekswilliams6884 none
@@bboyStuntZIn your household probably
@@PagastiTV yours too. You ain't perfect.
He genuinely love his kids, and they love him
Absolutely 💯
i mean as a parent thats usually how it goes right? ya fam love always fuck what the world thinks or says fam is first...
Did u not see willows letter to Tupac. Also they constantly disrespect him as well and don’t say anything to their weird mother who also makes him look bad…
Hahaha y’all are dumb
But the things he did to Justin beibers anus while Diddy held him are disgusting!
Whenever I hear someone say 'slavery was a long time ago. That was then!', I cringe. That dismissal of many many peoples' suffering makes me sad, yet livid at the same time. History should be learned from, so the atrocities will not be repeated.
I agree and those who dismiss so easily cannot and will not face this truth or thier own!
No its not. Its the past. Stop living in the past. Focus on the now. Most of yall not doing nothing about it anyways. Just talking. No action. My ancestors were slaves also. Get over it. You cant change the past. Focus on now and create the future. Thats why no one advancing. Yall stuck. Move on
@@MakaveliArmy😒🤫🤬
The past informs the present and future. The mentality of dismissiveness is the same mentality that justifies slavery. The lack of compassion, the inability to understand that each person is unique and deals with things differently.
@rayz5173 you already informed. So why you dwelling in it?. Move on. You say that like you gonna find something new about slavery. Stop making excuses
I DONT CARE WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT WILL....THIS MAN HAS CONTRIBUTED AND GIVEN US SOOO MUCH. HIS ACTING IS IMPECCABLE. THE WAY HE IS WITH HIS CHILDREN IS AMAZING. THANKS FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE AND STILL DO. MUCH RESPECT WILL...MUUUCH RESPECT. IT'S AN HONOR TO HAVE GROWN UP WITH YOU, ON MY SCREEN. ONE!
👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
He really do his shit too !
so didnt diddy and cosby....whats your point?
It's crazy to see Will suffering so much hate in the US. When the incident with Chris happened, the majority here in Brazil sided with Will, maybe because "everybody hates Chris"
@@flpReges No, it's because he became the typical over aggressive angry black dude that we see too much of here in the US. You don't hit comedians because you don't like their jokes. We lost respect for him. Now he's just another
Jaden’s laugh took me out every time 🤣🤣🤣
I found it annoying and distracting to be honest
Me too🤣🤣🤣🤣
somebody needs to cast him as the joker in the next Batman
That strangled puppet laugh was not working. No thanks.
Which was worse.....the cackling Jaden laugh....or Will's inarticulate oldest son whose only word in his entire vocabulary is "facts"....I wanted to tell him grow up son
Will Smith is explaining how the mind can be reprogrammed. He is pretty much saying while he plays these characters so long how you can lose yourself and actually become the character that you are acting. your mind is literally being reprogrammed and you become something else. This was very powerful to watch.
Very powerful 👏
Yep! Channeling
Yep
That's what happens to Hughes Ledger with the Joker 🪴😎✌🏾
@@jreyes7885was just about to say this happened to Heath Ledger👌
Any parent who got this type of relationship with his kids deserves the world❤
Yes for sure
This is the most unnatural interaction I've ever seen!
He's got gorgeous kids.
I thought that was Jada
Right! They ALL won the genetics lottery!
Except for Jaden who looks like a 12 yr old kid and sounds like his voice hasn't broken yet and has a weird laugh!
The other two kids are good looking ... Jaden is the runt of the litter!
@@heyleighmikaila Except for Jaden
Will Smith must understand he is his ancestors wildest dreams...
It humbles you to know we were taken and kept from everything. It's good he is trying to educate his kids.
(if they think we are their wildest dreams, then i think they cant detect my suffering and that's insane and feels hopeless to try to communicate with them through the ether. I had 1 dream in my sleep of 1 of them my dad scoffing at me when his widow instigated it. It was true to real life them. It was so out-of-place horrific and i have no explanation yet.)
♥️
A word ❤
This ❤
@@ShaniLee-vd5pe😮 Did you know his KIDS divorced him as teens because of what they endured growing up? Where have you been. Or him kissing Jaden on TV in the mouth as a big kid! Look at him now! Disgusting Hollyweird
This dude went from playing Venus/serena dad to playing Peter and then the Oscar’s right after…. Yea this dude was outside of himself
Thank you for mentioning this, it’s missed a lot
Was thinking the same thing.
I hate watching movies like this it puts me in a very dark place, but have to watch to remind myself why I continue to fight for freedom
Not good to keep reliving these films
@@appleheadasmr Its interesting you all never say that about holocaust films or other historical films. Just only complaints about the ones about slavery? I wonder why? Its almost as if people want to ignore, dismiss and erase its. Now why is that? Hmmmmmm 🤔🤔🤔
When me and my son was in a homeless shelter because I had lost everything when my dad died, I mean I was just not here I was in deep Mourning, so thankfully t h i s shelter for families took me and my son in all we have to do was go through counseling also budgeting classes because they think that you you know how to budget when you get evicted and that was absolutely not the case in my case.... when my dad died I just could not function but anyway the counseling parts help me out tremendously and they had computer room where we put a resume on the floppy disk and showed us how to do all of that but I already know how to do that too but you know when you tell somebody it tickles me when they trying to find you a job what they think you should do oh you can do you get more money when you do this no darling I'm a cake decorator I'm a baker I'm not a chef😂 so anyway one of the other things we had to do we had to do Monday nights in these meetings which consists of movies about forgiveness and what are the movies I think the name of it was amazing grace I didn't get the premise of the movie I didn't care about the movie all I saw is these white people who own this place think that it's a narrative for us to see this movie about slavery and how this one slave I think forgave his master or something I don't know I just saw the shackles and it drove me crazy!!!! And I walked out of the movie in the president or whoever she was of the shelter place was in her office and they sent me to her office like I was sent to the principal's office I'm a grown woman😂 and she asked me are you okay and I'm like no I'm not, now this is a christian-based shelter and she said one of the requirements is to stay for the Monday night classes I'm like yeah but you watching a movie that is offensive to me and she said what is the official about it I said it's about slavery she's like okay..... and I looked at her I chuckled I said to her you will never understand and she said what do you mean I said you're not black, yes she was a white woman she could never understand and she said I don't understand what you mean because I'm white I'm like yes you are and she found that offensive I just started laughing and I'm like okay. And I said well can I leave now cuz I'm getting tired of the conversation right now she said sure, so I left and the next morning she saw me at the office and she came up to me and she said I got to apologize to you, she said I prayed about the situation she got some type of clarity she said you're right I can never walk in your shoes..... and at that moment I cried I mean boo-hooing because finally finally somebody heard me especially somebody of her stature actually listened and felt where I was coming from because I told her that movie represent to me everything that I hated white people about everything about white people I could not stand it like those shackles I was bound but when she said what she said the hate became less and then my heart began to open up because that one part she actually listened and understood.
@@DorkJellyBravo❤❤❤❤❤ that is exactly what I've been saying for years! As a matter of fact I kept saying I don't understand why Jewish people are not Brothers with us because we had to endure the same plight! But you got to understand now Jewish people can trim their nose is straighten their hair to be one of them and actually one of the actresses actually did that and she knows she's Jewish but they rather be one of them so they don't have to go through that again, but we is the people we can't change our color or our hair and I don't want to because I'm a warrior for my people especially people of God🎉
We hear about actors when they get so deep into their characters & the time they must spend after the production. But with our Black actors, it makes me wonder with a film such as this 😢 Will Smith must do extensive work to get out of character but we all go back in that space when we are confronted with people who are racist & say to ourselves “Here we go again!” This is a perpetual & ongoing unique level of “stress” experience shared among Black people. That we must choose how we handle such situations……
Will is such an icon, he brings such a unique emotional and engaging personality to each role only he could bring.
😮 Did you know his KIDS divorced him as teens because of what they endured growing up? Where have you been. Or him kissing Jaden on TV in the mouth as a big kid! Look at him now! Disgusting Hollyweird
Can't help it... I am still amazed by this man's talent. It was the part when he mentioned the resilience of our people that hit me deeply. Let this sink in.

@@NyNativeTv none of this changes what I said. Two things can be true at the same time. I can be amazed by his talent and still not care for the person. I am frequently travelling the streets Hitler helped built (living in Germany) . Want me to take the country roads because he was the devil in human form?
This is the best Red Table Talk episode ever. Thank you so much Smith family, this is exactly what we needed to see.
Agreed
It's the only one I was able to pay attention and sit through
This is what our children and children’s children needs to see….
FACTZ
Never forget our history and never let this kind of treatment happen again, NEVER!🙏🏽
Maybe not. Let's stop inducing trauma making ourselves depressed.
@@lindabenson8863 They are trying...
@@memoirsofalegend5472 So stop reading your bible, and tell the Jews to forget about the Holocaust. Yall always want black people to forget about bad things that happen to them.
This is a beautiful family.
The children are so articulate respectful and kind. I wish them all continued happines.
Absolutely beautiful ❤
Willow and Will , father and daughter chemistry is beautiful❤. All 3 of his kids are free around him
So nobody is going to talk about Jaden's laugh 😂
Soo annoying
Ugh 😩
That's what I'm saying , that laugh was different
Excruciating
CRINGE to the utmost degree 😬 😂
We should never forget. There are layers and layers of pain, injustice, cruelty, trauma, and then so much to unravel and unpack. This is something you never get over. It stays with you for generations. It will take a very long time to heal. Remembering can be the leveller that's needed to stand firm and strong in yourself. Work to forgive, but never forget. Sometimes, real truth and real lessons come after deep and real pain.
Powerful words you spoke!!!
I’m not only taking this as an educational tool but also in my personal life experiences 😔
Thank you 🙏🏾
Whew 😢 You say a word🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Now something powerful needs to be made to educate on the Native Americans struggles and abuse!
I have met black folks who have been conditioned through their childhood to live the stereotype of black folks as second class citizens and poor. EVERYONE needs to be educated that we all are Americans. This is a powerful talk!
Yes
British Monarch established USA and Canada illegally. There are nothing called White and Black native Citizens of USA and Canada. Every Africans were shipped by different Slave Masters through Ghana which is a Country in West Africa. Indian Americans owned the first thirteen colonies of USA which is 4th of July; Independence Day from British Monarch. Indian Americans owned the whole Canada. ------- Osollo.
Yes, Trisha. Yes
That photo broke my heart. I know this movie is going to be deeply emotional, and Will Smith was probably the perfect person who could play this part.
old movie
This movie has been out, it's a good one
@@russdnickel7 cool! I'll have to find it. Thanks!
@@jaeljade3609Its not that old. It came out In December 2022.
More people whose ancestors created this hell need to see this
When he showed and explained the chain around the neck scene, all I can say is straight tears and hurt over here. Our people really experienced this and for a moment, so did Will.
yeah seeing the chains and other devices they used breaks me every single time. I couldnt imagine how hot that iron got in the summer
@@TheodoreBakes😢😏Forefathers went through it, mahn...this is triggering.
😢
Yes, I couldnt stop the tears from falling either ( _despite the fact that I am Greek_ ), and we Greeks are all too familiar when it comes to _slavery._
Greeks were _enslaved_ by the Ottoman Empire ( _Turkey_ ) for 400 years, all the way up until our LIBERATION in 1928. The _trauma_ is still "fresh" for us, and what makes it even worse is that the Turkish Govt. ( _and its leaders, as well as their people_ ) REFUSE to not only _acknowledge_ this, but they moreover refuse to ACCEPT the pure INHUMANE ATROCITIES they committed against us.
When _they_ INVADED us, they would take all of the YOUNG BOYS ( _below the age of 18_ ), round them up in every town's "square" and in front of their Mothers, they would CUT OFF their _male genitalia_ and their _tongues._
When it came to the _women_ --- they RAPED every "female" as young as 4 years old.
They changed our names by adding a _suffix_ of THEIR surnames to our surnames, so that others knew WHO our "Master" was. They basically tried to _eradicate_ us off the face of the earth ( _and we were a very small nation of under 6 million at the time I believe, since we are only 10 million presently!_ ), so yea -- we KNOW and we IDENTIFY w/ what the White Pilgrims ( _Invaders_ ) did to the Indigenous people of America ( _they literally murdered 60 SIXTY MILLION Native Indians all across America when they landed there! History cannot be erased -- no matter how hard they try!_ ), and once they got rid of the Indigenous peoples, they then brought African people there AGAINST their will, and not only USED them as something far worse than "animals" --- but TORTURED, RAPED, and KILLED them as if they were "animals". 😔
America will never be "respected" as a Nation, unless they do RIGHT and pay REPARATIONS to the African peoples they KIDNAPPED, ENSLAVED, BRUTALIZED + MURDERED in cold blood!
Here in Greece, we have a vast African _diaspora_ and the people of Africa are FREE to live as everyone else does here; a person of _color_ doesnt fear the police here, in fact : its quite the opposite --- its the police who FEAR the PEOPLE!
And here is an interesting fact: Not ONE person of African descent ( _whether they are citizens of this country or not_ ) has EVER committed a _crime_ nor has ever been arrested here. NEVER. EVER.
The vid ( below) follows around my good friend Kevin who is from Ghana, Africa. His parents immigrated here nearly 40 years ago, and Kevin was born here and has grown up here all his life; he speaks Greek BETTER than most Greeks! And as you will assess from the vid, he is KING here.
He lives as a Greek Citizen and is RESPECTED + LOVED by everyone he encounters. He decided to become a "rapper" and the funny thing is: he "raps" in Greek and he manages to combine his African heritage along w/ Greek history, and everyone LOVES him, because he REPRESENTS us as a people and tells our history and the history of Africa in his songs. He is proud to be an African Greek, and we are proud of him as well, as a Nation, and as a people.

Much LOVE 2 U across the miles 🇬🇷 ✌🩵
Im 57 years old. My mom was a share cropper , her mom a slave and my great grandmother was a slave. Please understand how recent this is. As a kid, seeing the cotton fields and "bacca" fields that they worked on made my body ache. I can't watch these movies without rage, so i dont. Im blessed to know a lot of my history, but it hurts. My genetics are 52% Nigerian and 48% Irish, Im I wrong to be embarrassed of my Irish side? I feel tainted, unpure.
No need to be embarrassed. Embrace and know both sides. Embrace yourself ❤
I'm like you. Very choosy about these films because of how I feel coming out of them. Every single time.
@@butterflywarrior9204remember that it was a few horrible people in your genetic line. Your great great grandparents in Ireland and Nigeria were wonderful complex people
Jaden’s laugh is hysterical! 😂. Loved this episode of the red table . It was eye opening.
Thank you Will Smith and your beautiful children for this table talk I have a granddaughter and we live in a luxury high-rise in Manhattan so she doesn’t have too many black friends if she has one and I always have to remind her you’re a little black girl she’s 15 now I’m raising her And I’m taking her to see this movie. I have tears in my eyes while I’m speaking because she has no idea where we come from or who we are no matter how hard I try to teach her my grandma and my great grandma they come from those days they didn’t have golden years, they didn’t have an abundant life. Neither did my mom. all three of them are gone to heaven. this needed to be told I needed to hear it and see it. Thank you so much Will I celebrate you and I appreciate you for this movie.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Why do you tell her she is a little black girl????? Why don't you tell her she is amazing, wonderful, a joy, a treasure?? You seem to add a negative that she is black??? Morgan Freeman speaks the best...don't see white or black...see a person and who they are.
@@greentree730 no I have to remind her who she is trust me there’s a lot of prejudice and racism over here too and I have to let her know that she’s not one of them because she’s not she is a human being. She knows that and sometimes she’s not always treated and welcomed the way I welcome her friends to my house so she do need to know where she comes from who she is. She needs to know about her blackness, I’m not making it seem like she’s a little black girl cause that’s exactly what she is a young black teenager. It’s not in a negative way a very positive way she come from Black kings and queens. I’m her grandmother and I’m raising her the best that I can, but she needs to see, her history too and that she does not know they really don’t teach it in school a lot of things that we don’t know because so many of our family has passed on. I don’t even know a lot of stuff family tree I don’t know too much because too much wasn’t told to me, and thank you for your comment
If she forgets.. the world will remind her. You have to teach her not to be desperate for white validation. I wish someone taught me that when i was young.
@@greentree730 why is black a negative.... She's all those things and black is one of them... Being black is apart of our heritage... Maybe you believe black is not beautiful! I'm black and I'm proud.. we will never forget and others won't let us either.
I'm drying my tears after watching this. Will's talent and gifts are transparent... His trauma was apparent (witnessing his father beat his beautiful mother when he was a child, punching Chris Rock at the Ocars)... I get it... He doesn't need an Oscar or Grammy to validate God's gifts to him and his love for him. I will always love and support him... ❤️
Maaaaan! ❤
"We DON'T have to get each other holy. We are ALL flesh and blood, We are NOT here for long. Let's LEAD with kindness" Well said.❤❤
Yes
It hurts me so much that any of my ancestors had to deal with all their years being pure trauma. I wish love on them so much and it’s so sad that they didn’t get that and they had to watch their children endure the same.
Imagine knowing your family owned human beings and grew rich off their abuse and exploitation Then using your wealth and power to deprive generations of their children of basic human rights, acceptance or even human dignity. We outlawed slavery, but it never really ended.
@@Bill-lt2ll I appreciate your acknowledgment and compassion. Thank you! 🩷 I am sure you are the change maker in your bloodline and God loves you for that. thank you.
Jaden’s laugh cured my depression 🌞🌤
He got his mama's laugh😂
Jadens laugh put me into one lol
I’m from Texas. My parents ended up sending us to a pw school district and the things I went through were never on the scale of slavery but it scarred me. I learned so much about our people on my own because I was singled out to defend my whole race, is what it felt like, in classrooms where I was literally the only black student. So while the world smiled about Obama I went through hell. The whole class starring at me and putting bets of a week or even two days on his life astonished me. Til this day they’ll pretend that nothing could be the matter. When in fact it was “all good” because I had no choice in my mind. I said that to say the sheer anger and rage in my heart went away when Will said “we fought to be here and our place here”. It gave me a perspective. A lot of these things my family doesn’t even know. My black friends don’t know and even they say I’m taking it too far when they try to say I’m white. I know much more than the average person about what we’ve been through and are going through. I’m not saying that I hate white people I don’t. I’m a child of God and so is everybody else in my mind and heart. I’m just passionate about the truth and being made to be quiet about things I can clearly see happening is frustrating. Can’t wait to see this movie
Thank you for this message and truth ❤
“ The ownership has to be in our minds.”This is everything. I’ve always walked through life like I belong where I am.
This was so soul touching. Beautiful moment for a man and his children discussing our unforgettable history. I love this. This is what we need.
Red table talk without Jada is phenomenal! Love his relationship with his babies
I hope she doesn't get jealous and try to emasculate him again. That stuff is tough to watch so I can only imagine what his kids feel being exposed to it.
ya way better without Jada ... she gets on my nerves so bad!!!
Why is this the 1st table talk that I've watched all the way through, with no bathroom breaks, or anything? I did eat half of a king size snickers towards the end. But this was beautiful! I love, love, loved it 🙂Much love from Central Florida Sir Will.
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your family discussion ❤!
This movie is one of the best movies I have every seen! And the best acting I have ever seen in any character. And I'm a HUGE cinephile. The opening scene when he tore the hinges off the door as they grabbed him said so much. It showed that this character is extremely strong, extremely passionate, extremely loved and extremely determined. He kept that same energy the whole movie. It was like Will was out of his body. He wanted to make sure we knew who that Hatian hero was beyond that picture. Nobody on this planet can convey his spirit and love the way Will did. Emancipation is forever etched in my psyche and in my spirit. And for that I will always be thankful.
We love you Will! Great seeing you and your children spending time together ❤️
Absolutely 👍🙏
I am just floored by this! Every person who plans to go to the polls this year should be mandated to see this before they go! Thank you to everyone who stepped up to the plate to make this happen, and kudos to Will and The Red Table!
Why is there a candidate that's running to reinstate slavery? Not to my knowledge. Good grief.
For a movie that was black and white.. It gave so much color
🔥👌🏾😮💨
Every time I remember Will from my youth in Fairmount park on Sundays at the plateau. I touched his ankles and tapped his sneakers when he was on top of that little shack they played the music from so I could ask him for a song I wanted to hear. He wasn't famous at all back then. This was before he had any songs for the masses. We were so young. I'm the same age as Will. To have him playing this very important role and articulate his experience and our communities perseverance is profound. Our generation were raised by the children/grandchildren of slaves. Its not as far reaching back as people try to paint. Anyway Will went from Fairmount Park to the Grammys to the big screen. He has had his own perseverance journey. And I smile at the memory of its beginnings on Sunday afternoons in the park for free with us Philly kids just having fun and enjoying our vibe. This video feels full circle.
This was deep, emotional, and beautiful
WOW!
Got it. 😢
The student doesn't choose the Teacher or even know when they will appear.
(These parent- child teachable moments are the ultimate. The empathy they shared will live within them for a lifetime.)
Ty sooo much Boss...😍
Can't imagine how much Will is learning from his children at this stage of their lives.
This breaks my heart. What an amazing actor. How he could go into character and then somehow snap out of this is just jaw dropping. I love this man.*** When his mom made the cameo at the end, I felt her pride. I would have been so proud of my son too!
Willow is so georgious.
When she laughs,She sounds just like her mother.She looks like her as well.
I remember tearing down while watching “the pursuit of happiness “ by Will…that movie is so heartbreaking, seeing the father and son struggling to make ends meet💔.
Will is such a good actor 💫
I still to this day don’t understand how 1 race can look at another race as nothing and still do 😢
Entitled
We often look at our own race and see and feel nothing. Look at the level of violence in our communities. Many men look at women as prey and something to control and dominate. It's a demonic spirit.
What's worse is when a people still sees themselves as slaves!!
The God we serve is not the god they serve .
And even worse when a people still see themselves as superior. @wildonez3076
Thank you, Will and Family this was great!
Thank you Will Smith and your children for bringing the past horrors of slavery to light. We need to educate all Americans of our history so that we can somehow heal from our terrible past.
It will ALWAYS be heartbreaking to see what our ancestors endured and fought for and through. I remain a proud Black human.
I'm sorry, but watching this stuff almost puts hate inside of me. God help me! My grandfather experienced this kid of stuff. It still goes on today. We just don't have chains on our necks
We still do, just in different forms.
This discussion was most insightful.
They made some gorgeous children
Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Will and his kids. It really showed how much adoration they have for him, and he for his kids. This movie was powerful, moving, and at times gave me anxiety. The performances separated their celebrity, and you saw the characters. The director and cinematography was truly incredible. Will did an amazing job, he has always been a good method actor. So versatile, such a cool dude.
4:31 is so funny. I love how is funny even with his children. You can tell in the way he talks also, that they really are intrigued by him. So refreshing 💙
They all have unique laughs that are contagious. I never heard Jayden laugh before, but it made my heart smile. I love this family and everything they stand for.
Best thing ive seen in a long time. Father & his kids chopin real game .. Beautiful 🫡
It's really cool to see him having a discussion with his kids, especially as adult children. I can feel the mutual respect. It seems to be a very special, vulnerable and candid moment between them, one of many I'm sure, that we get to witness. Thanks for sharing.
No one knows the pain of the people that lived in that time...we can only fight for our freedom today....
I agree, we must fight! As a biracial woman who attended school In Ga, and I was called zebra and N... On a daily basis.
Thank you to Will, Trey, Willow and Jaden - this was touching and educative. It was beautiful to watch the relationship between father and his children. The conversation is enlightening, not only about the movie & Will's character but, it is a sharing moment with his children and sharing his wisdom with them. ❤❤❤
Yes, I immediately drew tears after seeing that photos... That painful to see... Knowing our ancestors were torcher as such... That was thousands of that whip going across his back... The pain they were forced to endured... My heart is hurting right now... Once of the reason whey I stopped watching Roots back when I was a teenager... I couldn't take it anymore... It would make me so angry after watching it and I wanted to hurt those ppl... Will, I Love your performances in your movies, however, I do not think I can handle "Emancipation" as my heart and already feeling the pain and just watching your performance in this trailer is heart wrenching... I take my hat off to you because I don't know how to did it... I'm shook... Exactly, our subconscious cannot separate the reality from acting... How long did it took you to come back to reality after the making of this movie... When will you stop doing these transformation to your body physically, emotionally and mentally... They all looks so heavy... Facts, as we cannot experience success until we know what it is to fail... I agree with Ben 100%, KINDNESS
This has to be the best red table talk. it's the best one I ever seen at least.
I once almost drowned in a deep pool thinking I was ready to try the big boys side of things.
I remember thinking that if I submerge myself next to the wall, when I feel helpless, I will just reach for the wall and pull myself out of the water.
With my eyes closed and that feeling of needing to breath was knocking, and I could feel at that point that I was just not swimming anywhere but I was too scared to open my eyes. After I finally gave up on trying to swim I try to reach for the wall I believed I am still next to, and, it was not there anymore, I thought I was safe, and now I knew I was not. I can relate a lil bit with what Will is saying about reaching back for your original self - given that I rap too and I get that bliss of stillness in your mind while the flow is just pouring out of my throat.
i love how this dad is with his kids. soooooooo beautiful.
them babies are beautiful emulsion of their parents...just gorgeous
Awesome conversation guys! Thank You
Love this. I learned so much. Thank you for the everything, and thanks for sharing your journey. It inspires millions.
Thank you Smith family for sharing your time and educating us~
I cried thru this whole episode and as a black person I would like to say I feel cheated. Everything was stripped from us and we were left as shells most people know where they come from and know their ancestry which was all but lost to us, the brutality was unbelievable and they don’t want this talked about in schools but they want to keep pushing the fake text books praising the white man and all his discoveries and accomplishments, amazing isn’t it!!!
Thanks for sharing this content.
Loved watching this!!! Watching this weekend!
So happy to see he’s back! One of the best!!! Blessings to all 💜
EVERY Black/African American family MUST have a Red Table Talk♡
❤❤❤❤ can't wait! Cried during the whole interview. Seeing everyone together and how much work he put in. History is being made..this movie looks ..feels epic.
Willy is nothing in this world then sitting down on table and hearing your kids responds to you and let them bring out what they are thinking about everything. Love it and keep up.❤❤
The absolute beauty on this table. A masterclass! The love of a father and his children. This conversation is so wonderfully layered and executed. I will always love and respect this man and the impeccable work he has done and continues to do. His legacy is ICONIC. Thank you so much Will, Trey, Jaded and Willow.
Will's performance was phenomenal! It's so raw and real. Instead of the clean versions of slavery, this one put you there.
I absolutely looooved watching this! I loved seeing Will sit down with his kids and not only talk about the movie but talk about history and how it impacted us as a people.
The only red table worth watching. It's amazing that he's kept being himself for so long with that job.
I remember a little baby Trey in his pop's music video for Just The Two Of Us.... what was that, 25-30 years ago?? my my how time flies. It amazes me.
What a great video... Will and his kids are all down-to-earth people with their heads screwed on right, and I respect that family.
I remember that video with him and his son as well. Your close, 26 years ago, because I remember when that video came out in 1998 because I remember it came out approaching Father's day... Time flies because I remember when that song was brand new like it was yesterday lol
@@sheilaatif6906 We are old now lol
@@american_cosmic . Exactly lol. I just turned 38 last Friday. So that about sums it up haha lol.... I was in the sixth grade when that just the two of us song came out. You know we're getting up there, especially if we can remember a certain song coming out 26 years ago lol. 1998, the 90s period seems like yesterday. The best era ever, just wished I would of realized it back then when I was a child lol.
@@sheilaatif6906 Yeah, I'm about to turn 40 next week lol... I wish we could go back!!!
@@american_cosmic... Oh so u about to be in the 40 club.... Time flies, because it seems like once I graduated highschool 20 year's ago, that's when everything started going by extremely fast. I miss my childhood a lot. Being a 90s kid was the best. My ninja turtles and power rangers day's lol. We need a time machine with the quickness lol...
The 11:00 minute mark:
What Will has described here is the demonic force that took over him when getting in character. We have to understand where acting comes from. Around 530 BC, in ancient Athens, Greece is when the tragedies, plays, and dramas started. It was literally a religious experience. It was literally a religious ritual. It was an act of worship. The theater was next to the temple of Apollo, who was the pagan god of poetry, dance, the arts, etc. When the audience cheered and gave adulation to the actors they were praising Apollo and other gods associated with entertainment. The actors often found their “muse” to inspire them in their acting. The muse were demonic forces unbeknownst to them then and to Will Smith now. Remember, Beyoncé said that when she’s on stage a spirit takes over her. She called the force Sasha Fierce. It’s a demon. . .
The same thing with the Olympic Games beginning in 776 BC. The athletes called upon the gods and goddesses to impart speed and strength to win their races and wrestling matches. They invoked the spirits of these gods to appease the chief pagan god of Zeus, whose statue was adjacent to the stadium.
That's a good analysis. Now take a look at yourself and see what spirits you're channeling in your daily life.
Every word you're speaking is the very reason I'm such a fan! Thank you for blessing us with the heart of what you do and go through, to bless us with feeling present in every scene with you! May God keep blessing you and keeping you in HIS Tender Loving Care, because this world needs your genius❤❤❤❤
We as black people appreciate your hard work on this movie, thank you for the message ❤
When u realize that God wanted that movie to be captured as we loose our history to a false narrative. The enemy wanted to distract from the greatness and impact of this film by the oscar issue that happened. The enemy wanted to kill steal and destroy the light the God wanted to shine.
You On It!!
Truth. The people who are banning books are nothing but demons.
Amen!!! ❤️🙏🏽
This is so wonderful Will along with your amazing children it touches my heart ❤still watching video now …still seeing the love to and through u all ..

I have loved you Will Smith it will take me getting my mind ready before I can watch this movie. You are my favorite Actor of all time. My favorite movie of yours is Enemy of the State. I can watch and rewatch that one. Blessings to you and your family.
I love this man! I love the fact that he's educating his children! This is something we need to pass on to our own, despite the color of one's skin.
Powerful conversation, transparent observations, and sharing.
THIS WAS A BEAUTIFUL VIDEO THANK YOU SMITHS🙌🏽🤍ICONIC
He's beginning to resemble Alfonso, made my heart smile 😊
This movie shows we still leaving in the same time mental strength
The trailer gave me goose bumps. Never forget 💔
Jayden's laugh is hilarious! I enjoyed this talk.
This is so real. Thanks for sharing your and so many deep actors truth in these roles. Losing yourselves for some entertainment and others like me growth and knowledge. ❤
This is one of the best talks I've heard online
😢😢very sad right now. This is what happened to Africa for many years, inside the continent of African, and continued into America. Thank you for doing this. Mr. Will
Thanks Will for using this as a medium to confirm to most of us you are human and relatable. I admire your bravery in letting the world in on this. The vulnerability and openness in the interview is humbling. Thanks again.
