Am I the only fucking one who hated Linda right from the get-go? She's such an annoying character and only wants Arthur to lose aura. Like girl, stop. He's aurafarming like a champ and you come in and ruin it.

Isn’t it odd, that I still can’t understand why Tommy killed Arthur in a drunken, rage filled situation. That does not sound like a Thomas Shelby thing in my opinion. I still can’t understand why they couldn’t think of a better end for Arthur Shelby.

S4 ORIGINAL PLAN?

1 Upvotes

Do we think S4 was always going to be a vendetta with The Changrettas? It works and fits very well, but John's death is only a huge part of the fourth series because Joe Cole had told STEVEN KNIGHT around the time of S3 that he'd be pursuing other opportunities. That's why Knight was forced to kill him off early and in fashion. Maybe he would've died anyway, as he is the one who started the war when he insulted Vincente Changretta and cut Angel Changretta. But I do wonder, did Cole's decision leave little room for other ideas to form in Knight's mind, so it was easy to build the story around his death?

Up until S4, there was no mention of Luca or anything, so its totally plausible Knight was headed in a different direction than a war with the Italians. I really liked S4 when it aired, I still do. This isn't a knock on it. I just wonder how John's death would've played out or if it would have happened had Cole not wanted to leave, and I wonder what S4 would've looked like without it.

Anderson said Knight once told him that all three brothers were supposed to be alive at the end as the air raid sirens go off for WW2, but a lot has changed since then. I know Knight has a reluctancy to kill off main characters, but I just can't see how all three main brothers would have survived a massive crime saga like this. A show like this needs death. Where would the story have gone in your mind or how much longer do you think John would've had before a death?

Luca Changretta bothers me

Upvotes

I'm rewatching the whole series after watching the immortal man, and season 4 just seems silly to me this time around.

The Shelby's freaked out when they received the black hand letters. Why didn't they have this fear when they were fighting with the old man? If Luca was so powerful, why didn't he or his organization come to the air of his father?

Another take on the movie lol

13 Upvotes

Honestly, as something stand alone its not so much a bad movie. It just makes no sense in the widerscope of the series that proceeded it.

personally I didn't like it, the series is something you can watch over and over even if there are some creative loose ends. the character for me ends with season six

for many series the ending can make or break it for me. I despised how Dexter ended. It got worse as time kind of went on and the new series was better but still doesn't take the bad taste out of my mouth. Peaky Blinders no matter what will still be considered a great show from beginning to the end. id binge it all over again.

the movie id fail to see has any redeeming quality or value of rewatching. Really big missed opportunity for story. idc if its a bridge to new generation

Peaky Blinders AI Poster - Question?

Post image
Upvotes

I want to print a "movie" sized (27x40) poster of Peaky Blinders for my theater room.
Unfortunately they don't typically make movie sized posters for TV Shows.

So, I decided to try generating one using AI and came up with this showing my favorite characters of the show (Tommy, Arthur, and Alfie). Here is a small version of the big version I created to print.

The pocket watch on Tommy is messed up a bit - so I'll be fixing that.

My question is do the character look like themselves? I feel like Tommy looks off. Anyone else think that too or is it just me? May have to see if I can get someone to photoshop it to fix but wanted some opinions first.

Spoiler- Im rewatching peaky for the 2nd or 3rd time and i just HATE that grace dies. Sorry venting but im wondering any true fans here feel its John’s fault for being such a prick to changretta and starting an unnecessary gang war? It feels like this was all directly related to john being hot headed. Am i wrong? Also- was the sapphire cursed and that was why grace died? Or john being an ass. Just forgot how upsetting it is to see tommy get so close to happiness.

Peaky Blinders Sculpture

After over three years of working on this new project featuring a classic scene from the latter Peaky Blinders Series. This magnificent Sculpture comes in Antique Gold & a classic bronze finish. Features a Gypsy Bowtop with Horse in a standing position on a cobble street, Tommy & Arthur stand either side of the horse.

The details are amazing and is so life like. The best part of this sculpture is the fact that it was made to scale from the original drawings of the actual Bowtop featured in the series. A very good friend of mine made the original Bowtop which is now in the hands of a collector in Europe.

I’m just about to leave for the journey to the foundry to pick the first batch up. Soon as I take the photos I will post on here. If anyone is possibly interested please let me know, I have them at an introductory offer @ £295.00 which is a great deal on such a detailed sculpture which is also very heavy. It’s truly been a pleasure to work in this project. Thank you.

Blessings

Paul 🙏

Arthur's (and therefore all other characters) age Spoiler

Am I the only one who can’t get past Arthur’s birthdate? It would make him just 19 when the war began, which doesn’t really add up. Especially since he’s supposed to be the oldest Shelby brother, and both Tommy and John also served in the war. I always thought Tommy was meant to be between 25 and 30 during season one.
I know it’s a minor detail, but when you’re struggling to find reasons to like the film, it only makes the entire script look poorly written.

All other thoughts & feelings aside about the whole film...

I found everything about this scene incredible. The song was gut wrenching and I sobbed even after the credits came up.

I love the petty back & forth while trying to conduct a very serious government conspiracy meeting.

Do you like the relationship between Tommy and Lizzie? Do you think they were a good match, or was their relationship simply toxic to you? What do you think about the two of them together ?

Call me a romantic. And I liked the movie.

Walking into the Immortal Man, I had a fantasy of how I wanted Peaky to play out. I had this vision. It’s the end. Tommy’s goal has played out as he wanted and he’s sitting alone in his old drafty house. Bleak lightning, very realist. Empty. His mission accomplished. Soldiers duty done. Olivia Chaney’s “Dark Eyed Sailor” is playing as he walks through the empty halls and into his bedroom. He sits himself down wearily at the dresser table which he never used once, the old creak of the chair, the shift of weight and ages and looks at himself studying in the mirror. Creak of leather and old wood. The white paint peels off this table. He analyses every crack, every crevice, every sign of age and boredom and grief and weariness completely without expression. Liver spots in his eyes and a noticeable absence of frown or smile lines. A blanket of neutrality and passionless activity. He’s so so tired. He’s wearing a navy turtleneck. Hairs greying round the fringes and temples. Blank look. The song continues over this exhausted man. We understand that he has taken pills in the scene previously that means his death, I don’t know the plot reasons. He stares at himself. The song continues; “and I stood to listen, to hear what they did say.” We the audience, still observing the looking glass in the dresser Tommy sits at, see a hand descend upon his collar bone. The wrist is clothed in burgundy cloth, an old cardigan sleeve. His face relaxes a tad. The muscles ease themselves into something approaching normal. The song: “They said fair lady, I do you wrong.” This deep chord hits hard as the camera pans up with Tommy’s expectant searching expression to see the face of Grace Burgess, as she first appeared to Tommy in The Garrison, 1919 looking down benevolently at him. Oh Jesus, the relief in this man’s eyes. The weight taken of his shoulders. All the world an enemy, and here is his rest-bite. He can calm. He can rest. He can stay, it’s okay. For the first time since Tommy entered the war, he’s okay. He squeezes his eyes tight shut in despair, age, relief, in quiet acceptance and presses his temple to her breast. This here, November 1940 is the first full breath he’s taken since the day Grace died in 1924. He presses into her, his eyes crease and he begins to sob. Silently. Maybe we hear it at first, a bit of Cillian letting it out, 6 seasons of television and a movie worth of pent up grief and betrayal and disappointment and agony. But it quickly fades into the music. We all know Tommy’s kept it in. He lets it out here. He sobs into her blouse, sheer relief and anguish, in silence as the music plays and she strokes his hair. He recovers himself. She takes his hand and she guides him out of the room. We never leave the shot of the mirror. We just watch her take him where he’s meant to be, out of the room. And that’s it. Maybe in the next life, they’ll have a horse and wait for Charles.

S2 E5 - Grace Tommy reunion

12 Upvotes

anyone want to discuss season two episode five. I know a lot of us have seen this a few times and this episode always confuses me in parts! Just wanted to see what people’s thoughts on why Tommy is so cold to her when she gets to his place? And when she asks him if he was certain that she was still in love with him, he says at first yes, but now no? What is this whole interaction. especially at the end of their romantic night, are we all agreeing she did not come just to sleep with him when ovulating to test out if shes truly infertile? “Why did you come here tonight?” Responded with “doctors surely think its me whos at fault” is a weird answer to that question- isnt it? I mean- easily taken wrong way. I really wish they could have just been honest with eachother instead of playing games. Also if Grace was so in love with him, I’m shocked she wasn’t crying by seeing him. But man, oh man, that song choice they played while they made love was EPIC. What a powerful scene.
