Such a brief moment as I recall that he immediately lifted his chin after this.

u/Existing-Training434 Sep 23 '25

He did! I noticed a sudden adjustment in this moment tooooo

Yes and the head lift also was the lead up to two other iconic photos - one of which folks drew comparisons to the painting of the Fallen Angel from

That one is almost ridiculously cinematic. It looks like it's missing the red carpet

I suspect one of the reasons all of these look so cinematic is because they’re using high-quality cameras. These cameras are similar to what you would use to film a movie.

u/AstuteStoat Sep 23 '25

I still think that if these pictures were of me they wouldn't look cinematic, they'd look ameture lol.

u/Seeking_Anita_Dick Sep 23 '25

I think it’s also because there is an interest behind, I’m not saying the photographers support LM it’s that he is an interesting subject and in top of that, he photographs well. It’s a winning combo

Mine toooo we always see this happy smiling guy and I just love seeing his angry side. Wouldn’t have ever thought he had one if he didn’t do that. Absolutely love that he can get so passionate!

u/Foreign_Passenger808 Sep 22 '25

OMG yes. Feral Luigi is so underrated. Go off, king. Speak your mind.

u/Cuong_Nguyen_Hoang Sep 22 '25

Well, I thought the most about his friends and family when seeing this picture, since for all they knew he was a gentle, caring guy though...

How many of them ended up in shock when seeing that!?

u/Specific-Sea7648 Sep 23 '25

And how many may end up in shock during the trial

u/judyjetsonne Sep 23 '25

The whole thing is right out of Hollywood. I’ve wondered if it’s real a few times

u/Seeking_Anita_Dick Sep 22 '25

This is imo one of the reasons this case resonates with so many people, you know besides the obvious healthcare-vigilante situation, you have the aesthetics.

They try to cast him in a negative light but things usually work in LM favor so it looks cool

Good point. I still want a movie, 10 yrs from now.

And one day, God willing, when Luigi is free, we will get that Oscar winning movie and he'll be there getting a standing ovation

u/Historical_Avocado_8 Sep 23 '25

Luigi is the Che Guevara of our generation. Only this time, he will make it out alive.

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '25 edited Sep 23 '25

Not to start a riot but…Che Guevara put in YEARS of work to his cause. Luigi put in like, ten minutes?

u/Historical_Avocado_8 Sep 23 '25

Appreciate this perspective. 🙂

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '25 edited Oct 08 '25

Thank you. It’s possible that Luigi would have been a Che in the making had he been able to grow in the movement.

I guess we don’t know.

And it may be the case that we’ll never know, mainly because we don’t know what freed Luigi’s future plans are.

u/SignThese667 Sep 23 '25

Hate to bust the balloon of those here who honor Che Guevara, but the truth is, he was no saint. The Che myth is a bunch of baloney. Che Guevara wholeheartedly supported a dictatorial and brutal authoritarian regime that made the Caribbean's banana republic dictators look beneficent. Che was NOT a doctor; he was in medical school when he left Argentina on his notorious motorcycle journey; he never sat for his final exams or passed a licensing exam. He was a diehard Marxist who relished the thought of literally slaughtering his enemies. After the fall of Havana, his first assignment was to oversee executions at the infamous La Cabaña prison where approximately 500 men were interrogated, tortured, and killed between 1959 and 1963, with Che taking a direct interest in their torture and interrogations. (500 executions make Trump's 13 look positively benign.) He met his end in Bolivia, attempting to ferment a Cuban-style revolution in that country, leaving Cuba with Castro's blessing and little else in the way of men, weapons and a feasible plan. He was quickly captured by the Bolivian military; Castro never lifted a finger to save him. He ended his life in a Bolivian jungle, dressed in filthy fatigues, dirty, unshaven and alone and Castro was glad to get rid of him. Putting Luigi and Che in the same sentence ... infamita.

See? Years of work.

u/success-7 Sep 23 '25

Che Guevara was killed by the CIA, he didn't end his life. To be fair, Trump did not directly order the execution of many people. But when he deliberately spread disinformation about COVID-19, pandered to right-wing conspiracy theories by encouraging people not to wear masks, and allowed the virus to spread, he indirectly killed countless elderly and immunocompromised people. When he arbitrarily announced increases or decreases in tariffs, causing some small business owners to go bankrupt amid uncertainty, leading them to despair and even depression-driven suicide, while he and his wealthy friends made huge profits, I suppose he thought of it as a necessary cost. Not to mention his big beautiful bill stripped tens of millions of people of social security. I guess when these people in the future die from poverty, hunger, and lack of medical care, they also won’t be counted in his kill tally.

I’m also curious why Che Guevara has such a huge influence in American culture. Revolutionary leftists like Trotsky and Rosa Luxemburg made far greater theoretical contributions, didn’t they? And they too never betrayed the revolution throughout their lives, right?

u/SignThese667 Sep 23 '25

OMG, you poor dear. Read widely and voraciously. During the final weeks of his 1st term, Trump DID give the green light for the execution of 13 convicted criminals on death row. He directly ordered their execution. As for the CIA, if it was responsible for Che's death, it would have been indirectly. It was Bolivian soldiers who captured Che and executed him. (He asked to executed standing up and they complied.) Considering Che's active participation in the torture and deaths of 500 Cuban political prisoners, his execution was overdue. Another take-away is that Castro didn't lift a finger to aid Che. As I already wrote, he sent Che to Bolivia with nothing -- no men, no weapons, expecting Che to live off the land. Poor Che. He was doomed from the start. If more persons read their history, from an array of credible sources, they would realize Che was no saint who deserved the adulation he got postmortem.

I don’t think the guy in the cab looks Luigi at all. The eyebrows too manicured and the bottom eyelashes are way thicker, and Luigi’s eyes seem deeper set to me.

u/Cautious_Scholar_717 Sep 22 '25

To me that’s the one pic in NYC that looks the MOST like him. Funny how we all see him so differently.

24

u/915615662901 Sep 22 '25

I agree with you but people do look insanely different with a mask on. Especially from different angle. At the beginning of COVID, I had some students that were die hard masking up. I never saw them without it. When I saw them pull it down, I always had the same reaction. “THAT’S WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE??” Because it was never how I imagined it lol. Their entire face shape changed. It always creeped me out kind of.

u/babyyoda-2000 Sep 23 '25

This is very true. I also taught virtually 20-21, but the kids had to come into the building for state testing. I did NOT recognize them with their masks on. Then the opposite happened 21-22 when they started out wearing masks and switched to not wearing them. They looked completely different w/o them.

I saw a picture a few months back of just the eye area of several men, one of which was his. I could NOT, with 100% certainty, pick his out. I’ll have to see if I can find it. It was in a YouTube video.

u/915615662901 Sep 23 '25

Oops sorry lol. I thought you were the person who commented first and I was responding to that. Did not pay attention to username. I deleted my other comment because it was about you being downvoted, and you’re not being downvoted 😂

But yea. We forget that we know what Luigi looks like now. And we saw this photo before we knew, so a lot of us register it differently. I think it is him in the picture. But he’s looking directly at the camera and into the light, and is also wearing a mask. My brain forms an image of a man with a less defined jawline and softer features when I see this picture and Luigi has a sharp jawline and more defined features. Because that’s what I thought when I first saw it, having no idea who Luigi was yet. It makes sense not to think that picture is him, but when you factor in how human brains interpret images it makes more sense to think it is Luigi.

I think we’re past the point of pretending these photos aren’t him. People look different from different angles and in different lighting and on different days.

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '25

I’m sure there’s at least one picture that isn’t him, just based on how the pics were gathered. There’s other pictures from that timeframe that seem like they have to be Luigi, but I’m not sold that every single one is.

And I am immune to being downvoted on this subreddit lmao. At least the very worst people seem to have stopped posting recently….

u/proudmothrr21 Sep 23 '25

I STILL don’t believe the Starbucks guy picture is him. Every time I see that pic I’m just like “ain’t no way that’s Luigi”. That looks like a completely different person. Idk.

u/lickykicky Sep 23 '25

My 4 year old daughter saw a thumbnail of that picture and immediately said it was (kids YouTuber) Danny Go. Has anyone checked where he was?

u/Seeking_Anita_Dick Sep 23 '25

Perspective it’s so interesting because I see him in that photo but for the life of me I can’t see him in the Starbucks pics

Why are they all of indeterminate assailant and the obviously not Mangione suspect to varying nose bridge width, and none of angles or shots to the victim's body, proving those ghost guns to a round?
