The enigmatic post, one could say, brings a customary wave of buzz from the fans. The legendary actor, in his usual mysterious style, released a cryptic message with the announcement of his up-to-date film. The phrase evoked the up-to-date ironic kind of reaction that kept the fanbase in a sort of magic unable to wait for the actor to bestow upon cinema this time.

The post read: “The higher they rise- the harder they fall. Highest 2 lowest- immediately in theaters.” Nothing more until the ever-dramatic Denzel took over our minds with a short warm-up clip showing Mr. Washington in his usual intense and mouthful iambs of rebirth and beginning: “It’s not the ending, it’s an opportunity for a new beginning,” said Denzel, immediately that’s the Denzel wisdom talking.
Fan comments arrived without delay; one user from Turkey said, “Wowowowowwww💥🕶️my heart is blunt, I’m the American actor whose movies I’ve watched from Turkey… I love it so much.” The excitement was real; another fan said, “I am in Love With this actor.” You can’t blame them—Denzel does that.
But not all of them were just sitting around building hype. Some were already celebrating their movie night arrangements with one commenter saying, “I was thinking about going to see this later today 👍,” another added, “It’s on my short list! If Denzel recommends it, I’ll see it 🔥.” That last one could be onto something; with Denzel’s approval, there is no question about seeing it.
A lot of comments came in funny: “DenZel has been on a grumpy tour promoting this movie 🍿 😂,” with the interpretation meaning, “Even the best Hollywood is not beyond a little humorous banter.” Another follower took poets’ liberty to write in Portuguese about noble deeds and divine purpose, ending with, “Quando Jesus nos levar ao céu, vou te procurar para lhe dar um abraço bem apertado.”
Some were bummed to find out that it won’t show in some of their favorite screens. “Wish was in Amc theaters,” lamented one. But mostly, the air was filled with anticipation: “Looking forward to seeing this one 👏👏👏.”
Whatever his up-to-date work is about, from the looks of it, it hits the punch. Either his enormous clout, the cryptic messaging, or it is just the fact that it’s Denzel freakin’ Washington selling it to the public. If history is any indication, it’s going to be good.
