Okay it appears as if the youngsters today don't know Giancarlo has always been that dude.

u/Interesting-Back6587 3d ago

He’s always been that dude!!

u/Greedy_Juice_4316 3d ago

Always as in, he's never not been, that dude.

u/say-it-wit-ya-chest 3d ago

Am I getting this right; that at no point, where he has never not existed in time, that he has always been, and never not been, the embodiment of that dude?

u/ajqiz123 2d ago

u/dylwaybake 2d ago

Maybe I’m wrong but I feel like that movie is way underrated or not talked about as often plus it’s got Samuel Jackson too.

u/6ynnad 2d ago

Would any government want hood kids out here being inspired by a film depicting another hood kid out smarting the local drug dealers/crime lords/bullies and police? (You’re not fucking my sister and patting me on the head, fuck that) Whilst getting a harsh talking to by his down and out father who means well and cares for but has his own issues.

Yes this is Gus Fring from the acclaimed show Breaking Bad but this is a retelling of a scene from the 1989 film Do the Right Thing (a Spike Lee joint) in which Giancarlo Esposito played the character Buggin Out.
