Dead Presidents by Bowman
#DeadPresidents
I've heard him described as lean, gaunt, thin and haggard, but this is ridiculous.
Mistigram: when he drew #AbrahamLincoln for his #DeadPresidents series, Atonalosprey couldn't imagine that in 2025 he'd be actively pulling his mouldering remains out of the grave to weigh in on the triumph of the mobocratic spirit. This piece was included in the spooky MIST1022 artpack.

Frame from the film 'Dead Presidents' (1995). Close-up of an armed robber (Larenz Tate as Anthony Curtis) with white facepaint, black lips and eyes wearing a black woolly hat and a brown leather jacket holding a sawed off pump action shot gun. There's another armed robber in the background.
✊🪖 Released #OnThisDay 30 years ago. The Hughes Brothers' sophomore feature film. Unflinchingly gritty part Vietnam war movie, part crime film. Worth watching solely for the armored truck robbery sequence. #DeadPresidents 📽️🎞️

Just look at how wonderful that cigarette glows in this shot from #DeadPresidents (1995) !
What a fun way to show time has passed without ever leaving the room or these two characters.
A moment in time💯

#DeadPresidents 4/4
We talk about four of our other favourite shots on today's Substack deep dive:

#DeadPresidents 3/4
The following few minutes show Curtis narrowly escaping a land mine, holding a dying soldier, and witnessing several variations of racism and war atrocities. The match cut insists we directly connect those experiences to his loss of innocence and boyhood.
#DeadPresidents 2/4
The match cut is a clever edit to eclipse time — skipping basic training and then some with a single cut — but more specifically it’s a commentary on America putting kids in a situation where they kill or are killed, and often both.
As Curtis (Larenz Tate) runs through back yards to escape his girlfriend’s parents, a foreground wipe transitions directly to him running through the jungles of Vietnam.
#DeadPresidents 1/4
Coming up next week we've got a deep dive on five of our favourite shots from 1995's #DeadPresidents, but these two work so well because of proximity.
Meanwhile, the guards stand under a different set of bars; the flags of the country Anthony served for, which used him up and spat him out.
