You&#8217;re able to show people what you&#8217;re thinking and feeling from them looking at your reaction without using words. If you at &#8216;Baby Boy&#8217; at that one scene where he went off to kill Snoop Dogg&#8217;s character and then I got into bed, and my girl (Henson&#8217;s Yvette) looked at me and I looked at her, she pulled me closer to her. She knew what had just happened without me having to say that we killed Rodney. So, there&#8217;s a lot of power in silence. I didn&#8217;t appreciate it when he dropped that on me back then, but I do now.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"580\" height=\"360\" codebase=\"https:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"https:\/\/www.videodetective.net\/flash\/players\/movieapi\/?publishedid=702217\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"580\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.videodetective.net\/flash\/players\/movieapi\/?publishedid=702217\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><br \/>\nTrailer provided by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.videodetective.com\">Video Detective<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrating &#8216;Baby Boy&#8217; 10 years laterTyrese Gibson, Taraji P.
