Tony In The Crowd

(Click to play)

This clip shows us Tony standing in formation at a funeral scene. Except
it's not Michael Gorumba's funeral scene. It's supposed to be, but
it's staged.

The blurry-fast pan left, across the crowd of firemen, STARTS at the
real Gorumba funeral, in a suburban setting, at DVD clock time 18:31.

But,at DVD clock time 18:35, there is a SNEAKY CUT, to suddenly show Tony,
AS THOUGH he's standing in the same crowd that the camera just panned across.

The buildings behind him are closer together, in a more urban way.

So, they cut from one crowd scene to a similar staged one, hoping for us
to think it's all the same crowd scene. But if it was the same scene, they wouldn't have needed to make a CUT before "showing" us that Tony
was "there."

Tony's face, with an appearing/moving/disappearing wound, is the only one I can recognize out of hundreds of attendees shown. We get closeups of ten or more firemen RIGHT NEAR to Tony -- why do NONE of them look at all familiar? Where is the REST of Ye Olde Grieving Ladder 1? What unit did TONY form up with that day, for the funeral ceremony?

Note that Tony's LEFT cheek is showing, looking NORMAL, UNblemished, like it was when he was standing at his locker and talking about the dead fireman.
Note also that some unruliness is going on in the row or two behind Tony, almost like a shoving contest, with several firemen suddenly all shifting position at once, and possibly some smiling or smirking by one or two of them.
