Speaking from someone who suffers for being a paranoid schizophrenic and bipolar, the last thing you want to say to someone like us is call us *crazy* . In our minds we're battling constant demons, so we become defensive, because we don't trust anyone, since we don't trust ourselves. We love intensely, but we can hate from the core of our souls. We feel we're misunderstood, and want someone, anyone, to show loyalty because we know everyone will eventually abandoned us. Reggie was what Ronnie needed most. Someone who would love him unconditionally, be loyal, through thick, and thin.
Absolutely but running protection rackets , committing fraud, slicing people and occasionally killing others is thoroughly bad for everybody physically and mentally. Their victims didn't enjoy it much
@@Marvin-dg8vj Nowhere in my comment did I say it was? I was just giving an aspect of what it's like, and how it feels, being called *crazy* by anyone for being bipolar and a paranoid schizophrenic. I would never condone violence to anyone, even the worst of my enemies, we prefer being left alone. Very few people understand other people who suffer through those issues. We're a creature of habit, what you give us is what we give back, and if we feel disrespected, or attacked, then our actions can be violent. It was a great movie and he played both roles perfectly! Even down to Ronnie's enlarged nose, because they were in fact fraternal twins, not identical.
Absolutely Brilliant film Tom Hardy is the most accomplished actor I’ve ever seen on tv and was the perfect fit to play both twins he’s absolutely incredible as Ronnie and reggie kray the love and loyalty towards each other was soo strong and would last a lifetime
There’s something about Ron in this movie that makes him threatening yet at the same time kind of adorable! You just want to wrap him in a big hug and tell him everything’s okay🥺
The scene where he's helping Frances with her luggage, he tries his best to say something comforting, although what comes out is bizarre and confused. It was heartbreaking to see Frances understand that and then give him a kiss on the cheek.
Fresh Beginnings, I actually watched a couple of documentary’s on them and I read I biography, I found their story interesting and I wanted to really know about them. So I know about everything you are stating but I appreciate the long response!! It’s great to educate people
Wasn't nice the way he treated Frances, if that's how it went down. Siblings, Mothers and even Fathers get jealous when someone has another in their life. Anytime I had/have someone in my life, my mom gets in a dither. I had to let that go so I can live my OWN life, instead of trying to please her.
@@sophiawillis8232 glad I’m not the only person who they interest!! I have 2 books and a 22 page biography on them 😀 I really recommend the book ‘Our Story’ it’s all in their own words if you haven’t got it already
I'm very fragile myself , I'm in treatment , I have schizophrenia I'm able to control it don't take the meds tho I take some , I've learned cognitive techniques combat the demons , I used to be in there out of prison up until 10 years ago , I spent some time in solitary confinement where I learned these techniques to help me , I read every psychology book I could get my hands on , I'm living a normal life now , I'm working and have a wife children and rescued animals , I am very grateful because I never thought I would be out of prison Livin a life I always wanted , my children have it better than I ever had it , I'm not a homosexual but I can so much relate this clip
Lol. I don't believe you mainly because you said you were in prison. Don't paint schizophrenics as criminals. Most of them rather kill themselves than hurt other people they usually hate the shit out of themselves. I know schizophrenia more than you think and you don't need to read psychology books to combat the "demons" you just need therapy and a psychiatrist. Don't create a story just for likes
Ronnie Kray was the sane one. He saw that Francis could see the future, that Lesley Payne was going to betray them and that someone was going to offer him his sausage.
Ive seen this great movie 20 times and i will see it another 20 and more. Each time i see something new and my love grows deeper. Legend will always be for me, the greatest film of the Krays time. The scenes where Frances has died and that music, and that little trickle of blood.. Wow.. and he puts the ring on her finger, that is real emotional as i lost a lady who was just like Frances. Legend.....
Fun little fact: my nan met and kind of knew the kray brothers before they were at their peak. They weren't horrible people apparently, they did some bad things but they weren't really bad people. I watched this film with her and she cried so hard at many points, especially when he said he wasn't himself. They really were interesting people and I wish they could've been been given a better chance in life.
@@anthonybanton1415 for her sake, I wish it were. Honestly I've no reason to lie about this though and I get it seems fake, I didn't believe it at first either. Hope you have a nice day ❤️
@@anthonybanton1415 my grandpa worked in their casino in the very early 60s before it went all to shit for them, with them killing more people. He never spoke about them, but said people rarely ever cheated there, if they did he never saw them near that place again.
Every time I see this movie and the face of the actor who played the part of Ron Kray it throws me back to my childhood and memories of a bully that haunted me and my friends as kids growing up in the 70s.
Everything is stronger than the bond of brothers. Brothers hate each other to the point where they want to kill each other since the beginning of time. The first brothers to exist in this earth killed each other. I really hate to admit it but the relationship between sisters is more based on true love loyalty and caring no matter how we might say the word "they're toxic" it's still more right and effective
@@justaperson2653 unfortunately mate, sounds like a you problem. You may not have a good relationship with your brothers but I do, and I know a lot of people who do aswell. Maybe it’s your age and your still in the cycle of snitching to your parents and winding each other up, but at my age of 18, me and my brother get on so well. We sit down and joke, have serious conversation, hand out and just do whatever. Hope you can get to that stage too
@@justaperson2653 again, I’m not you😂 also bare in mind my brother is 40. Our maturity to each other is different than your average say 3 years apart siblings
1:06 mother's words touch very deep ! A brother is a bother no matter what . I neglected mine too long . Been abused and brainwashed myself , a family elder stating he's only your half brother . And other gaslighting tactics . Been real hard last 20 years . Sorry to go on . Peace all 🤞✌️
Reminds me so much of my relationship with my brother. The only person who has died for me & Lord knows I have done the same. It’s the best thing that I’ve ever had done💪🏼👋🏼🤟🏼
I know they did bad things but I feel so sorry for them. This film is so upsetting. One of the best films I've seen. How can you go wrong with 2 Tom hardy's. ❤💋
coldest speech in film history.. "because i cannot kill you, no matter how much I fucking want to" leads you to the mums speech, "no matter what he's done. he's your brother" FAMILY IS EVERYTHING.
A top class film, played well by Tom Hardy. Understanding the reason for why Ronnie was the way he was. Hard times for young lads in post war times. Association with gangs was common. As bad as it was, they felt this was a way out.
I'm so madly in love with Tom its untrue, and this is my fav movie cos I love ronnie and reggie also. I'm confused about do I love reg and ron because its Tom playing them or do I actually love reg and ron the real people...
It might be both. Seeing them behind all the violence and horrors they committed, you see the human parts of them. Frances was Reggies humanity, but Reggie was Ronnie's. So losing him was hard.
I love Tom as an actor as well. However the characters he played were very grey. Ron started out...and kinda ended a loose cannon, acting before thinking, and tried to get Frances out of Reggie’s life so he could stay with him. However, by the end, he became a little more understanding, and consoled for Frances after she left Reggie. As for Reggie. He started out cool, gentlemanly, and all around a lovable gangster. Then in the second half of the movie, the life of a gangster corrupted him, and slowly broke down his relationship with Frances, and all my respect for him went down the toilet when he rapes her. Near the end, Frances’s words was also my words, “It took a lot of love for me to hate him the way I do.”
I literally don't know how this has happened.. But this video hit 500,000 VIEWS. Guys, I love you all. Thank you! I'm so blown away by the reach that this video has had. Wild.
I know he was a gangster and murderer, but being that mentally ill and ostracized for one's sexuality, it still tugs at the heart strings; like seeing Ailleen Wournos's mugshot; you know they did vile things, yet their brain was dealt a bad hand from the start. Maybe he would have been the same even if sound of mind, but his homosexuality put him in the firing line by itself, too.
the funniest shit is how he always bashed rob in the movie for being crazy and then after he loses the person he loves he basically starts to become him he doesn’t give a fuck about killing someone broad day
@@maydg9969 Hi, brilliant film and Tom Hardy is fantastic in it. You must watch it. I just meant that the whole films sad as in just every thing. How they lived, the people who worked for them, the people they hurt. Where they ended up and amount of time they spent in prison. Just kind of everything x
been through loads of stuff that poor old Ronnie went through mental health problems arent fun now let alone 50 years ago but they would never touch anyone who couldnt pay try finding old lady attacked by krays , they fought other criminals
The Krays used to eat in my nan and grandads cafe, they said they were always gracious and polite, I named my dog after Ronnie Kray as mental illness runs deep through my family tree. I’m not a gang worshiper but their kill count was nothing compared to a lot of other criminals, they were just so despised by the ole Bailey they were made an example of.
Oof, see way to much of the guy in glasses in me. It's not sexual mess I have to hide. It's the terrible monster I have locked up inside. It's exhausting, every single waking moment, scrutinizing every step, every breath, every spoken word, to make sure I don't let the monster peak out a window. Because good people don't have that monster inside them, they are almost child like. I don't mean that in a mean or derogatory way. I mean it in the sense of the purity, the innocence, the kindness, and yes the fear. I'm not a good people. I have to live with this for the entirety of my one and only life I'll ever have. It hurts sometimes, knowing this is the hand I've been dealt. I've already isolated myself away from the world, out of my own fear of myself. It's been a good long while now, so I've gotten quite comfortable with it. That makes it easier, knowing someone would have to go a long, long way out of their own way to rattle the wrong cage in me. But it still sucks, all I've ever wanted was to be more similar to everyone else. Just not in my deck of cards. Good luck out there everyone, I'm afraid there are others out there like me, mathematics would seem to indicate I'm far far from alone in my suffering. And I worry they don't try as much as I do. Be careful, and always tell the people in your life that are important to you how much they mean to you every single chance you get. Who cares if it gets annoying, tell them.
I saw a lot of clips from this film before I realised that Ronnie and Reggie were Tom. Tom Hardy tends to play a similar persona in his films, but the Ron here is different, persuasive, someone else.
