- THE WIRE "Omar in Jail" (my edit) - Edited together all the scenes of Omar in jail (Season 4). This fascinating story line includes an assassination attempt on Omar by someone hoping to collect a bounty. Originally these scenes were shown interwoven with other stories. To show how captivating this Omar In Jail storyline is I wanted to edit all the scenes together.
Like many a fan of THE WIRE, Omar was my favorite character, like many fans of The Wire most famously, President Obama, who was a big fan of both Omar and the late great Michael K Williams (RIP).
What struck me about the first of these scenes is its about the ONLY time in THE WIRE that Omar is shown even a tiny bit afraid or less than 100% sure of himself. Because now in lockup, Omar is seeing many of those who had looked down the end of his shotgun, dealers or others he had ripped off in the past. Omar knows that he's a walking target and that theres a large price on his head.
Two huge scary guys who he thinks for a second are there to get him (great casting!) fortunately turn out to be two "bodyguards" arranged by Omar's friend Butchie. A nice touch is the prison body armor, of thick maps taped to Omar's body to protect him against a shiv. They worked too! And yes, in case you're wondering where Omar sunk his shiv into the guy who tried to kill him, you guessed correctly, where the sun don't shine. "Omar sending a message y'all". Brilliant acting as always from the immensely talented Michael K. Williams as Omar. Sir: know that your brilliant and multifaceted portrayal of the character Omar, was one of the most complex and interesting characters ever portrayed on a TV series,
If you have not seen THE WIRE.... get on it!
Notes:
*One of the bodyguards is actually one of the real-life Baltimore stickup guys who the character of Omar was actually based on (Donnie Andrews, "in on a 5-22").
