He is sentenced, demoted, and ordered to begin psychiatric treatment for his violent nature. He joins the Navy where he gets into trouble for injuring another sailor in a fight. All of this is supposed to be the reason for his violent temper. At that time he left and lived a life of crime on the streets, for the next few years. He was placed in a foster home at two, where grew up in what is described (by him) as an abusive home where he lived until age fourteen. She never bothered to claim him when she got out. His teenage mother was in prison, and his father was dead. Pretty good film about a young black man Antwone Fisher (Derek Luke), who wound up in an orphanage as a baby after being born in prison. Vivid, painterly images and the yearning melodies of composer Mychael Danna complete the artistry of the film. Washington demonstrates his ease with actors by drumming up rich emotional intimacy, not without naturally humorous and awkward moments. And eventually he finds the strength to work through his anger and the courage to forge his first romantic relationship with Cheryl (Joy Bryant).Writer Antwone Fisher, making his screenplay debut, achieves an encouraging view of human nature with this story, and first-time director Washington molds it into a film that ranks with GOOD WILL HUNTING and ORDINARY PEOPLE. Fisher and Davenport form a father-son bond (Fisher even adopts the doctor's wife as a kind of surrogate Mom). After a few strained sessions, Fisher navigates through difficult memories of his Cleveland childhood, mostly of life with a vicious foster mother (Novella Nelson) who beats him on a regular basis (and refers to him not by name, but by the n-word) and a foster sister who violates him sexually. Antwone Fisher (Derek Luke) is a young Navy sailor who is on verge of getting booted from the military because of his volatile temper when he is ordered to mandatory sessions with psychiatrist Dr.
