Pacino plays the blind card to win Best Actor at 1992's Academy Awards. Scent of a Woman's pity party plot revolves around a macho ex-army colonel whose manhood has been besmirched by his disability. This scene's extra asset is a pre-gentrified view of Brooklyn's DUMBO neighborhood. You'd hit half of Etsy if you drove like this down there today:
My favorite part of this scene is at the end when the ex-army colonel uses his privilege to mask his disability. The same year this came out, Odd Squad's video for "Can't See It" also featured clips of a blind man driving, but unlike Al Pacino, MC Rob Quest is actually blind.
