Look, I don't want to go all online sleuth here, but that's a different coat and a different backpack. - ThreadSky

Could be the strap where he's got it slung over one shoulder is downside facing up due to getting twisted around.

Nah. Look at what you can see of the bag itself: bulky, with other straps sticking off. The shooting backpack was all clean lines and slim.

I was thinking that, although I'm reluctant to conclude a lot, because sometimes stills taken from low-frame-rate video do weird stuff with details. The more important fact is that the man in the second photo is clearly Jake Gyllenhaal.

Nah. One coat has flaps on the front pockets and a full zip; the other has no flaps and appears to be a half zip. One bag (and you can see this better in other photos) is white and has clean lines and no loose straps hanging off. The other is black, bulky, with stray straps.

reply

rsgat.bsky.social•93 days ago

I mean, now that we know that the full face picture is from the day before, I suppose it's possible that he got to the hostel with his big travel backpack and casual jacket, then switched to his murder jacket and murder backpack the next day. But it's equally possible it's just some other guy.
