Sean challenges George.
Sean: Why did you get
yourself arrested?
George: Draw attention to
the issue. To make a point about Sudan.
Sean: And I believe
Scotland should be independent but I don’t wag the finger at the English. There
are other ways.
George: You’re wagging the
finger at me now. Another reason is that I don’t wear makeup in movies or in public
and it’s starting to show. I needed a diversion. I wagged a finger.
Sean: And I want to become
old with a good face, like Picasso.

Voice-over
Finger-wagging, denoting
disapproval, admonition, perhaps shame on you, also expressed in smiley code as
[-X. It’s usually to emphasize a point than divert attention. Unless you happen to be an aging actor.

When I watched the news, I was puzzled why George was arrested for speaking about Sudan. Does America really protect the freedom of speech? In America it seems political power is controlled by the police. In Sudan political power comes out of the barrel of a gun.
In America police also carry guns. You have to watch what you say, so "freedom of speech" is controlled. George deliberately crossed a line to be arrested. Being arrested was his statement. Authorities arresting high profile people for human rights issues need to tread carefully. Mohandas Gandhi was arrested several times but in the end, the British were forced to leave India. Water dripping on the rock will eventually wear the rock away.
