Good day Mr. Washington. I am a huge fan of yours, and I am very excited that you are doing this AMA. I have always felt that you have the amazing ability to bring a movie into reality, from film to life. you are an inspiring person and an amazing actor. I have seen so many of your movies, so many favorites but I love more than anything The Book of Eli, The Hurricane, The Great Debaters and Philadelphia.

In 2011 you gave a commencement speech at Penn State University. The most memorable thing about that speech for me was when you said "If you don't fail, you're not even trying" which I thought was an amazing piece of advice. It was one of the most inspiring speeches I have ever heard, and whenever I need some motivation i stick on my headphones and I listen to it.

My two questions for you are:

  1. What was your favorite movie that you worked on?

  2. What advice can you give to the younger generations of today?

Thanks for doing the AMA!
