Training Day - How Denzel Washington Improvised as Alonzo Harris

This video essay compares Denzel Washington's performance in Training Day (Warner Bros) to the script written by David Ayer. So much of Denzel's dialogue was improvised and ad-libbed, he completely changed the ending and amped up the conflict and unpredictability of scenes, which lead to him earning his first Best Actor Oscar. This is a thorough analysis of the improvised changes Denzel Washington made to Training Day (2001).
