"...Lookin all Fred Flintstone" Funny as heck but terribly painful at the same time. If you don't know how to conduct yourself in environment like that (because you grew up in a completely different environment) you just DON'T KNOW. 30+ years ago, I guarantee that guy we me...lookin all Fred Flintstone.
Nobody got shot, no drugs were dealt, and yet out of all 5 seasons of The Wire this was one of the most gut-wrenching scenes. Like tdot22, that was me -to a T. When you grow up poor and ghetto, with that being your environment on a daily basis, you just don't know.
What to order?HOW to order? What do you say in conversation? What's a tip? What fork to use first?Do you use a straw to sip water? On and on and on, man! Mentally jumping to a higher socioeconomic level is EXTREMELY hard. Painful
@BriMarErn IDK man I rate Dukie coming home and seeing his family has up and left without a word or even a note to be the most gut wrenching scene in season 4. :-(
i think the meaning of this scene is to show, that these kids no matter what, they come from the ghetto and the lifestyle is all they know. or to show how social construct segregates the rich from the poor
Those 3 kids were me when i was in America, I lived in poverty while going through school, and I was so awkward when i got my first job and I had to go to restaurants, company events, or even out to lunch as lunch for me would mean either McDonalds/Taco Bell or KFC and for my colleagues it meant a restaurant which I would consider high end. Seeing this clip brought me back memories.
great scene.
