...when he sees a poor black lady win some money or something like that on TV?
In a completely pointless and self serving segment of the movie.
Did this movie invent "virtue signaling"?
No, that was Ocean's Thirteen.
shareNah.
Virtue signaling or "signaling theory" was touched on by Darwin in "The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex" (1871).
A solid 130 years before "Ocean's 11".
Not sure how the scene would be considered "self serving" for the fictional characters portrayed therein.
Some people will try to find anything they can be bothered or offended by, though. So I kind of understand where you're coming from, I guess.
He was watching Oprah, the scene seems more like made to get some laughs...
