white sneakers


why did that black guy get so pissed when he said that about blood on his white sneakers?

reply

I don't know either. That scene creeped the hell out of me.

He probably blew up, because he knew that was the incriminating evidence.

Man was just sensitive about his footware.

Strange scene. Either somehitng was cut that would explainit, or it was a little overacted...like most of the film. For Lumet, terrible.

"tiny white sneakers"

I think the point of it was to show what a great lawyer Casey was.

It wasnt so much the one question about the sneakers that made Washington crack. Casey was riling him with his entire line of questioning. His tone of voice was mocking and contemptuous throughout.

If that question about sneakers hadnt pushed JW over the edge, Casey would have carried on pushing buttons until something snapped, because he knew that - no matter what coaching his lawyers had given him, JW couldnt resist provocation.

I agree with Padzok..he was mocking him.

reply

It was a stereotypical comment, like "all black guys love their sneakers" during the line of questioning he saw that he was angry so he went for the kill...

none of the stated theories about the sneakers really work for me.

over a year and a half later maybe it is better explained in the book it is based on, tainted evidence.

I thought it was to show his insanity, to snap at something so small. I thought they were going to go for an insanity defense if the "police being a hitman" thing didn't work.

He used the word tiny so I thought was going down the line of "you know what they say about people with small feet" or something alone those lines.

Seriously? All black man adore their sneakers, once by accident I stepped in a black guy's new sneakers while walking in the streets of New York and the black man went into a rage! His only concern was his damn shoes! !!!

Watch when he breaks out of prison, he has a cop uniform on but still has prison sneakers (white). It was recorded on prison video.


See!?
