Traffic (2000) - Robert Wakefield's Speech

[@jadehalliday6636]

"If there is a war on drugs then many of our family members are the enemy & I don't know how you wage war on your own family" ~ oh, I felt that! 😔✨

[@silverwheel]

I love this scene so much. When he gives up on that speech, it's like he burned off the last of his rhetoric and become and ordinary person, and finally he sees the issue with clarity. When he walks out it's like he's being released from prison.

One of the greatest actors of this century ...any film u take he is wonderful.

and we are here to listen....

[@kaitice4456]

I’ve been looking for a clip of that amazing line/scene and can’t find it. Now I’ve got my excuse to watch the blu ray again

[@HoodyBoy85]

That last line is the greatest.

[@logancooper4049]

@3:49 greatest scene i have ever seen, i have no idea why but the music is breath taking, the warmth, the nice greenery, sound effects, camera shots all marry up perfectly

[@alexandrocardenasortega3685]

He wasnt nominated for this role, let that sink in for a moment...

[@jeffreyrichardson]

When drug problems hit home, the game rules change when the ones we care for and love are affected!

[@b0x1n9f4n]

Jeffrey Richardson isn’t it like that with everything? We’re so quick to judge until it is us or the one’s we love we must judge, then our high-n-might ly stances take a backseat. A drug addict, a prostitute, a homeless person, these people aren’t worth shit until they are people you love and care about.

[@MrChristian331]

@@b0x1n9f4n yeah I'm not a big proponent on free will either. I think there is always something or someone pushing or pulling you in some direction that's difficult to fight against, no matter how strong your moral compass is.

[@b0x1n9f4n]

Kris HEALTHCARE: AI Very true.

[@SullenMorbius]

great scene! love this movie.

[@onlyjihan]

Damn, his amazing wow

[@andrewc1716]

Love this scene

[@Yourismouter]

and he realizes that the war on drugs is a war that criminalizes family and whe he knew what his daughter went through and the fact she would've gone to jail, he just couldn't endorse it anymore the war on drugs.

[@dragankostic26]

It was local problem, now its "vogue" problem

[@enoching7]

such a great scene because we see in one scene how a man who had a plan suddenly realize that all the words and money may never solve America's greatest problem

[@martinignaciodefeo9235]

Hypocrisy?

[@katelewis536]

One of the most memorable scenes for me in movie history because it wasn’t milked and didn’t descend into cheesiness

[@marcB3-b1x]

great acting without saying a word.....first 2min....👍

[@eanayac]

I don’t know how you wage war on your own family... wow!

[@CheerfullyCynical829]

If someone doesn't want to be helped, you can't do anything to help them. Even if they're in your own family.

[@palmlifeuk3553]

Great film, quality

[@notmytruthTHEtruth]

The saddest thing about this scene is how utterly unrealistic it is because no one in politics would ever say this shit. Painful how no one in leadership will ever say the truth.

[@cgh7337]

No kidding. This movie is over 20 years old & very little has changed.

[@notmytruthTHEtruth]

@@cgh7337 and why would it? Our troops were guarding poppy fields in Afghanistan and where does 90% of the world's heroin supply come from? Exactly.

[@PhantomEagle1.618]

The war on drugs will never be won. Sad we've wasted so much $ and put so many in jail for minor drug charges.

[@gymnast2890]

It criminalizes those who are already traumatized by childhood abuse.

[@sertorrhenclegane]

@@gymnast2890 Not every drug addict is a traumatized person.

[@Michael-it6gb]

Yeah. Let them go ahead and snort their drugs. That's your brilliant solution.

[@CheerfullyCynical829]

I'm all for legalizing drugs like weed, shrooms, ecstasy, maybe even LSD. BUT I'd be pretty fucking uneasy if people could stroll into an outlet and legally buy crack cocaine, meth or heroin. Very uneasy.
