Lucky and Meyer were very unique in the world of gangsters. Mobsters stabbed each other in the back all the time. Lucky and Meyer were true friends and looked out for each other.
Dominant Persona bugsy and his mistress stole millions from the lucky and Myer when building flamingo, bugsy was the one who betrayed them that’s why they killed him
that's actually an ad lib line referencing another movie both guys were in...Blue Jasmine...where Stuhlbarg was a pervert of a dentist who crept around trying to knock out women with ether. When Rosetti says the line, Rothstein stays in character but smiles a little.
@@jonathan2755 yeah but Rothsteins brains were behind him on the wall after the 20’s the guy was ambitious and capable but kind of a shithead in many ways
that’s one thing i didn’t like about the show the actor that played lucky, rothstein, pa sky just didn’t have balls .. they just weren’t believable gangsters ..
@@robjj5373 yes he is the only one who said that. Several critics stated they felt Vincent Piazza was very very good. And people that study the Italian mob back in that day and the stuff that I read about it the way he played Luciano was pretty much close to the vest.
@@fifthbusiness1678 I thought he was fantastic. The accent, the delivery of the quick witty lines ... I know nothing about the real life Lucky, but this particular character, imo, was a very strong part of the show.
When Rothstein smiles at your attempt at an insult, you never know if he's smiling cos he thinks it's funny, or smiling cos he knows you've just screwed yourself. Most likely, though, it's both.
I slept on BE when it first came out, but its been a great pandemic binge. Meyer and Lucky are the best and it's cool seeing them as youngboys. I'd be all in on a Meyer & Lucky show
Luciano and lansky are like an old married couple. Lucianos like the quick to temper tough guy husband and Lanskys the cool cunning and collected wife who works strategy.😂😂
Have to admire how Luciano show his knowledge of Yiddish and Meyer show his knowledge of Italian. When Luciano tells Bugsy "understand" in Yiddish ("farshteyn"), it just adds so much richness to the characters and the teleplay. However, I found it curious that the producers routinely used subtitles for the conversations held in Italian but never for statements made in Yiddish. I mean, did they expect the viewership to be knowledgeable of Yiddish but not Italian? When Luciano tells Meyer that Maseria hates your pretty face ("sheyn pnim"), again no subtitles.
@@eshel4463 I know right? Even in this clip you can see Lucky has misgivings about Benny, then later he decides to use mafia money to build a casino in the middle of the Nevada desert…
Joe always liked Charlie a lot on a personal level because of his charisma and toughness, you can see it in the subtle smiles he always gives him like at 11:38
And I could 🌟 stare LOL not star my auto populate bc he reminds me of Eric Weinstein & Jessie Eisenberg fr is it just me or is it lusciously uncanny ? ! 😆
savage642 Frank never got his hands dirty. Benny Siegel, Vito Genoese, Albert Anastasia and Joe Adonis killed Masseria in real life. Siegel and a few of his guys killed Maranzano for Lucky. I think the character you mentioned maybe a combination of a few characters
Charles Luciano in real life seems like the most opportune to soak game from the best in his environment. Smart of him to split the responsibilities of decision between board members.
Ooooooohhhhhh and I also noticed at 13:43 when the deal was stuck with Joe Masseria, Lucky, and Meyer there were no handshakes... Business Back Then... I'm guessing that's a Bad Omen.
Because for a long time he was an average gangster like everyone else who answered to higher up people , it wasnt until after the castallamarese war he rose up
Nobody ever talks about Nucky Thompson being a real person controlling Atlantic City. Boardwalk never gets love over Sopranos even though its based off of real people.
This show is more accurate to history than I originally thought, before I read more on the period myself. Obviously Nucky is highly fictionalized but the references to Bill Lovett, Pegleg Lonergan, Brooklyn, Frank Uale's operations etc are all accurate little references. The only error among all this is that Rothstein got out of bootlegging very early but it's a pretty minor detail considering it fits the script, much like Nucky's dramatization and the fictional Rosetti
this show has like the best cast ever to play every single roll this is the real masterpiece of all the crime drama tv series of this century even better than Breaking bad , The Wire , Sons Of Anarchy , & Power!!!!!!
Notice how lucky is a very strong personality very into his work , yet Meyer was able to ease that aggression and help lucky see a bigger light and picture not to mention Meyer was a great speaker , hard to hurt the guy when he knows his words and his stuff
Loved the "shot to nothing" reference to snooker - did not expect this from an American TV show - Snooker's a wonderful game, deserves more exposure in the US.
I never understood when he said "English so my partner understands", when in numerous episodes after and even since Meyer shows he speaks fluent Italian.
he isnt fluent thats why u see him say few words here and there. also when charlie was talking to joe mayer definetly was wondering what they were saying. if u really speak a person native language its obv an advantage to use it. people like other peoples who cN do that, it earn sumpathy
Sexy Fandom I saw 2 episodes 7/8 last night and these short clips..so interesting. Are you going to put more out? Wet our beaks...lol. thank you for what you put out
@DeltroxTv Tbh, it's part luck, part genetics/preference. The reason why I started smoking pipe is that it's genuinly only form of smoking I can enjoy(it's smoked like cigars). I do not know if "ordinary" ciggies have something that disagrees with me: paper, glue, tar? I just felt sick everytime I tried. Pipe-tobacco is somewhat less processed but has more nicotine, so I can get that relaxing feeling without nausea.
