Scene from Escape From Alcatraz
This post has NOTHING to do with the analysis on racial stratification this scene discusses or how Clint Eastwood is the GREATEST actor at portraying steely indifference without undesreved haugtiness. NO NONE OF THAT. The thing that boggles my mind is…WHY ARE THESE INMATES WEARING PEACOATS?!!! Now a days Peacoats are like…FASHIONABLE(“look at his peacoat/tell me he’s broke”-Kanye West) but in this 35+ year old movie, EVERY INMATE in this WORST OF THE WORST PRISON(Alcatraz makes Rikers look like a playpen) has a PEACOAT!! Wow…the way times have changed.
.(DOPE)is as(DOPE)does.
