Why the Top Casey Affleck Wore on the Red Carpet Is Really Important

Manchester by the Sea is a heartbreaking movie, as well as a heartwarming one at the same time, that revolves around awkward conversations. So it’s appropriate, though also annoying, that more than a few awkward conversations revolve around the lingering unease felt by some in Hollywood over the fact that its star, Casey Affleck, settled sexual harassment cases with two women in 2010.

But we’re not here to talk about that, we’re here to talk about Affleck’s top that he wore at the Independent Spirit Awards where he nabbed the Best Actor Award. His top read “love” in Arabic, which was quite refreshing to see in the new America that President Donald Trump has taken over.
