15

So here is yet another Youtube video I found that, as you may notice, isn't my photography and is not a happy-feely thing either, but I just really wanted to share it here so I copied and pasted this post from my other blog.
Enjoy =)

So the first thing you think about when you think about the show The Fresh Prince of Bel Air is Will Smith. You will also know that this show is a comedy and Will Smith is a funny guy too. Today, I stumbled upon a clip from the show that is one of my favourite moments in the show's history. It isn't anything funny. It's one of the saddest moments I have seen on television. Not many things in film and tv make me so emotional, but this was one of the few.

I can't say I can connect to this very much because I can't. The content just isn't true for me but I think I can relate to this because it's more than the relationship of father and son; it's about being let down, losing something dear to your heart and/or watching someone let out emotions that have been bottled up, exposed and utterly vulnerable. Then, it's watching him find comfort and resolve in a place that will always be there for him. I love this clip because of that.


Synopsis: Will has been living with his uncle Phil for quite a while. Uncle Phil is Will's father figure because his real father left him when he was young. In this episode, his father returns after 14 years to reconcile with Will. Will was planning to spend the summer with his father roaming the country in his dad's truck while he works, but plans change...
