Pretty sure that was the case. After he started singing there was pretty much no doubt whatsoever that he'd gone completely off the deep end and was going to be a danger to anybody near him.
@lmnop otay nah his failed leadership got him killed dont forget he killed the dude cousin over a simple mistake that probably make the hit even more personal
And then there's resentment, like the kind you drum up when you brutally murder one of your right hand's relatives in front of them after they plead for you not to
"Dat guy wit da mask? What da fuck was dat?" LOL Harrow basically took out an entire New York crew to rescue a child. The greatest, kindest, smartest, most sympathetic, most complex, most ruthless killer in the entire series.
Mr. New Vegas if you say Richard was boring then this show was wasted on you him and Van Alden who are the best characters in the whole show although I love Jimmy like the rest of the world
For me that just adds to how crazy he is he's so flagrantly disrespectful to his own people that he never once had the thought "what if they do that to me" and if he did have that thought it seemed like he only just exacerbated his situation even more he was a dead man the moment he decided to get into that business it was just a matter of time just like Jimmy completely morally corrupt and mentally damaged with the cherry on top being anger issues in possession of guns and booze
The list of reasons why this character had it coming is long and diverse. The problem with shows of this type is that everyone, or almost everyone, is so casually evil that there is rarely anyone to really want to support. The closest anyone came to it were Richard Harrow and Margaret Schroeder/Thompson. They weren't perfect, but they were better than almost every other character here. I don't watch these kinds of shows anymore. If I want to watch evil overcoming good, I'll watch the news.
@@nathanduncan672 Yeah the only good thing that came out of season 4 and 5 was Harrow's masterfully executed death. I wasn't a fan of the direction they took it after this. although it was still good, Season 4 was definitely a massive step down and season 5 was just kind of forgetful
This scene shows all what was wrong with Gyp. He's 100% OBSESSED with something Nucky told him months before and - after all the bodies and the blood he shed - he STILL cannot get over one freaking phrase, that HE THOUGHT was "offensive" in some way to him. How can you control a man like this?? It was obvious he had to go...
I thought of the end of The Wind and the Lion but the idea is a little different: Sherif of Wazan: Great Raisuli, we have lost everything. All is drifting on the wind as you said. We have lost everything. Raisuli: Sherif, is there not one thing in your life that is worth losing everything for? [they both begin to laugh]
Raava remember his first ever scene when he beats that old man for some imagined insult think it was the first scene in season 3, I was like wtf lol, everything that came after that also got the wtf response from me lol, crazy guy indeed
The moment when he screams out GOOGOOOOOOooooooogggghh is such insanely good acting. Body language is perfect and the direction is great. Cannavale is fantastic.
@@Dman3827 Nah, it's in the bonus features of the Lord of the Rings films. Christopher Lee did... stuff during WWII, and mentioned it to Peter Jackson when they were filming the scene where Wormtongue stabs Saruman. The interview makes the rounds on the internet every couple of years.
honestly its pretty lame and it defies biology. nobody who gets stabbed just stands there. You immediately say ow and try to get away from the blade. this show is just murder drama for school shooter culture of death worshipers.
I can never stop and think of how painful that second stab is that’s right in the lung and you can just see the blood pouring every breath probably felt like hell after that stab
+UMOGrunt I agree, but I think he would have done it any way without the threat from Nucky. The tide had turned, Gyp had already shown he was out of control.
Matt Male Well mind you Rosetti still had a degree of influence and control in NJ up until Capone, Chalky, & Harrow killed most of his men and Rothstein convinced Masseria to pull his support for Rosetti.
Matt Male is talking about Gyp as the boss in this case. The guy who stabbed Gyp was his second in command and Gyp smashed that guys cousin's head in with a shovel for talking out of turn. It was a death sentence for Gyp.
Gyp was actually the most honest of all of them-Nucky/Torrio/Capone/Luciano/Rothstein-they would sell out ANYBODY to keep the business going. Gyp’s mistake was, just like Nucky said, he took it personal. Nucky tried to give him a whole load of rum and he still fucked him over. Had he not done that, he probably would’ve continued to help Gyp out of his tight spot just so he could keep the business contact later. But Gyp, despite his stature, was a small, stunted person mentally and psychologically, like many bullies who see their only advantage/ability in life in their size. So he naturally makes everything a personal issue needing to be solved w physical violence.
SAOrules you should be able to feel it when you pee it out. It won’t hurt that bad, unless it’s a bigger stone (4mm or larger). You’ll normally just feel a disturbance in your pee stream and see the stone in the toilet.
I thought it was unrealistic. Unless his spinal cord was severed, which I doubt since he was still standing, the natural reaction to being stabbed is to pull away, not just stand there and take it. If you watch some real knife fights/prison stabbings, people don't just let themselves get stabbed. They fight for their life to get away or defend themselves even if their situation is futile.
@texasslav It depends on where they're stabbing. A stab to the kidneys or liver and no sound at all will be produced, because all the air is involuntarily forced out of the person due to the body's shock response. They may regain their breath to make sounds after that, but most times they're in so much pain that drawing in a large enough breath to really scream or shout is near impossible.
@@cabooseabs6864 He is pulling away, the stabber is holding his side he turns around and then he gets shanked upwards towards his heart with a blade at least 6 inches long
A good bad guy makes for good drama, and gives the hero some real opposition. Die Hard was awesome because John Mclain's old school All-American good guy was up against a fancy, pretend sophisticated European villain... who was legitimately smart and extremely vicious.
Most critics have it as the best season of the show which I disagree with (I think Season 2 was slightly better) but every season of this show has been pretty good to be honest. It's not The Sopranos, but it's VERY good all the same. More violent than The Sopranos, too, but that's neither here nor there.
Bobby Cannavale could easily be the biggest A list actor out there. His acting skills are incredible. I've watched so many tv shows and movies with him. He does a lot of low budget and indie flicks and some big ones as well. I read an interview where he's more interested into taking more absurd or off the beaten path type of movies and roles. If he wanted to he could easily take roles from say Pitt, Cruise, DiCaprio or anyone like that. Either way, I'll watch anything he's in because he's very diverse. Him and guys like Michael Shannon are always my favorite type of actors.
It was revenge for Billy Batts, and a lot of other things. And there was nothing that we could do about it. Batts was a made man and Tommy wasn't. And we had to sit still and take it. Oh wait...
He's basically the 1920's gangster version of Ramsay Bolton. One of those characters you realize is completely and totally, irredeemably evil, but is played so masterfully by an actor that in some weird ways you can't help but love to hate them. That's the hallmark of a great actor/actress especially since playing villains well is extremely hard. Hard to play the evil thing right and even harder to make them somewhat sympathetic or at the very least interesting characters. Usually done with humor, etc., and acts of unbelievable violence and evil for devastating effect.
I have to disagree with you respectfully of course Lisa Calvert. The only thing is to say Gyp was more than a psychopath. He was like a psychopath who took things personal. But yes I agree about the Emmy. Big fan of Bobby Cannavale after his performance
@@Saintinthecity-wh9nl He was a D bag. I was expecting more like a meat grinder, or buried alive after being beaten with baseball bats. A nice going away present.
I didn't like him at all, he was weird, irrational, very unrealistically irritable,..etc I would have preferred a more complexe villain who is so good that they might even persuade you to rout for them. Gyp was very one dimensional and predictable.
For those who don't know, "Barney Google and Snuffy Smith" was a comic strip introduced in 1919; the song came out later, after the character of spark plug was introduced
Gyp killed his the guy who stabbed hims cousin. Idk about your relationship with your cousin but my cousin is more like my brother (never had brothers). If Gyp done that to my cousin I’d of blown up Gyps house with his entire family in it.
I've never seen anything other than YT clips of this show and I knew he was kicking Nucky. Some people just aren't playing with a full deck or even half a deck I guess.
Bobby Carnavale does a really good job being a psychotic, unhinged gangster like Gyp Rosetti. Seriously, he sounded really manic during his final moments. Truly an awesome and terrifying performance.
One of the best characters in the show. His sit down with Nucky and everyone was epic when he was slinging insults left and right. A breadstick in a bow tie lol.
Bobby Cannavale is a good guy. I was in a scene with him in Superintelligence with Melissa Mccarthy. When the camera wasn't running, he was very courteous and humble.
The way the stabbing was shot reminded me of Jesse James's murder in The Assassination of Jesse James. The way Gyp puts his gun away, turns his back on all his men and throws his head back while singing and peeing in the sand is like he knows it's all over for him and he's giving them the perfect opportunity to do the deed. He's gotten all his men killed, lost all his money, lost all his drugs, lost all his allies, and basically everyone he's ever worked with now wants him dead. He knows the score, and his last remaining goons won't want to follow him into the woods for a pathetic, dodgy life of petty crime and obscurity after rising to the heights of organized crime in Atlantic City. So he intentionally puts his guard down and puts his fate in their hands, because he's too proud (or too Catholic) to take his own life. After the stabbing, Gyp doesn't even resist. He just lets the knife linger in his back. After he falls on the ground and gasps for air it looks to me like he was hoping for his throat to be cut to put him out of his misery a little faster.....but my dude declines. Ouch 😂
Your misses is a smart woman. I wonder if my woman would know after all the gangster shit ive taught her. Its always your buddys that whack you. “See our murderers come with smiles, they come as your friends”
The bosses had enough of Gyp. They had enough. Seriously, how much were they going to take? So they made an example of him. They stabbed him while he was pissing….
I watched a documentary here on YT about the Philadelphia mob back in the 1980's. Between 1980 and 1995, out of 50 capos in the Philadelphia mob, 29 were murdered and 7 or 8 were wounded or maimed in assassination attempts. And several more had to "turn snitch" and go in to witness protection just to survive. Apparently there is quite a bit of employee "turnover" in Mafia circles, as this clip with Rosetti illustrates.
If he wasn't such a narcissistic psychopath his men wouldn't have killed him like that. Up until the mental breakdown his guy was willing to keep going for him.
Kudos to the director! That bloody opening+immediately filling of the lung with blood after a deeeeeep breath...i always appreciate realism with my violence
Still not half as bad as Dutch schultz last words 😂 A boy has never wept...nor dashed a thousand kin. You can play jacks, and girls do that with a soft ball and do tricks with it. Oh, Oh, dog Biscuit, and when he is happy he doesn't get snappy.
MovieHound17 I wish Manny Horvitz was in more episodes though. I liked his Odessa speech in Season 2. Also Jimmy Domerty was annoying. Season 4 didn't have enough of Rothstein. I also wasn't that big of a fan of the Tampa storyline. Season 3 is often the best season. Look at The Wire and Gossip Girl as examples of this.
@Nick D.....why would that be strange ? I can't tell if this is an attempt to make some sort of "funny" little quip by trying to infer that a song about a 1920's cartoon character is somehow ironically tied to an internet platform from the early 21st century. Either, your "humor" needs a makeover or you are too stupid to realize that he is in no way singing about the Google on the internet. Additionally, Barney Google had bulging eyes like Nucky.
That was for his cousin frankie who got his head bashed on the beach by gyp. He had that coming from way back.... serves him right. Rogue waves huh....
They only killed him because they were tired of watching him piss and listening to his song. Bro was like "sorry...I gotta" lol and then he died in his own piss
