The Fascinating True Story That Inspired 'Peaky Blinders' 

Based on everything going on in the world lately this is the quote of the decade

yeah kind of like how Quentin Tarantino did it with inglorious bastards and once apon a time. as long as it isn't slander or too modern I think its fine

to be faaiirrr

I second this! Scorsese's movie did reference real people, just in a wacky fun story

They had one I think

Moody Cinematic Video / Drone Shots with using Cinematic Black LUTs! ://ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DIfEY93WUhM.html

Dead Rabbits!

@@thedudeabiding1582 The Plug Uglies!

It is a crazy story worth a video

@@zoso1up it really is. The fact that all these people tried to get him out even EARLIER than the minimum sentence is just mind boggling to me. Just because someone writes well doesn’t mean they’re a good person.

The last podcast on the left covered Unterweger. Worth a listen.

@@donovanchilton5817 I came here to say the same thing! It’s an unnerving and unbelievable case.

oh yes, that's my next screen name lol

Oh boy. With Simon Pegg as Stabby Cappy leader Shomas Tellsby.

“Peaky”

@@topgtate4750 Apparently you were never robbed & beaten by those Pesky Blinders lot ; ]

That would be amazing

well the closest you can get is by playing mafia 1

@@mrducky179 and GTA 5

I think there’s a movie coming out

The real life gang was pretty much disbanded by the late 1920's and series 6 takes place in 1929 so the writers essentially wrote themselves out of a show.

That's awesome if true! :)

*Consoom intensifies*

You need to touch some grass

Oddjob approves of the latter. And Random Task.

Is it not a lot of muslims today? I live in Holland. Just asking. Thx.

Did you have Hell's Grannies at some point?

Mine too! Only mine is in Alabama. Other than that they seem to be pretty much the same.

London is for the Muslims now, RIP

@@fanfam what an idiotic comment..

Interesting. I wonder what combinations of clothing would reproduce the same effect in today's world? Could it, even?

@@robertraymond762 Steve Jobs wearing jeans and a sweater. Any middle-class person in America could wear exactly the same thing if they wanted to. Alternatively, rap stars with diamond studded gold teeth and speaking with a ghetto accent, but wearing tailored suits.

@@robertraymond762 probably like wearing a baseball cap with a tuxedo.

@@robertraymond762 that’s a very good question, I suspect no combination of clothing would do so. Fashion now specifically for men is very ironic, and influenced by urban culture to begin with. Mens street wear of the 90 and 2000s came to Paris and American fashion houses via the likes of Virgil abloh and all high fashion takes it cues from street wear, this is in the casual wear context then there is the question of suits and business contexts. That being said business culture has its own high class form of dress and I assume it would be like mixing cheap suits with Gucci? An often “low class” thing to do when wearing a suit is to do loud colors like red and over accessorize so maybe something like that would be a dead give away

How does that make sense?

@@ashleelarsen5002 because if you've seen peaky blinders they keep razors sawen to beaks to slash people wen needed so he's saying wen he grabs his beak he cuts his fingers 🙄

@@broughton90 oh! Sorry, ya I like non-fiction. Documentaries and such. Happy Weekend!!

😆

Shit mine been cutting me up too thought I was the only one

peaky fookin blinders

I hate that, get an english narrator, it's English history

An actual lol

Go to your room lol

Yeah it could be interesting to see more of the new york society in this era

@@glitchito5961 yea

@Dark Lizzy ; Easy. Industry only works when "someone works in the industry". But whose "life vision" is working in a factory??? So you always had to force people to work in the factory...and poverty will do the trick! That´s the same in Russia in the 1930s; Stalin confiscated and burnt the harvest and thus forced the farmers to leave for the cities and either starve to death or work in the factories...many died in the streets! My father was born in 1924, he was only a kid in Charkov at that time, but everybody was starving, since the harvest had been destroyed, so my father and our family was also struggling to survive back then. Stalin was a ruthless murderer, even to his own people! We know what we are talking about! And everyone who lived at that time and survived will tell you the same!

This is a myth that Carl Chinn, author of Peaky Blinders The Real Story, who was also born and bred in Brum, remembers from his youth.

Same in Glasgow,the saying was 2 with the head and one with the bunnet (cap)

Its not an American thing, its a "this particular American should probably get out more" thing. I grew up knowing what mongers were be they fish, cheese, or any other goods.

'Hell, at least I was mugged and robbed and not fucked by the government...'

And anyone British pronouncing a city in the United States you’d think it was in England.

@@aleriomurillo2239 probably because many American cities are named after English towns and cities

@@jon77834 You’re missing the point of my original comment but yes, there are communities whose name derived from other countries.

BER-MING-UM

I think a lot of Americans think England is just London

Hold up. It's not finished?

@@adnanomer9089 Pretty sure it's finished, but they are making a movie which is gonna be some sort of an epilogue of the last season. I'm not sure

Where is Peaky Blinders found? I'd like to watch it :-)

@@Epochal_Enigmas yeah because that looked like an ending to me even though they left some things behind. A movie sound more reasonable than a whole season

Oh wow! I didn't realize this, I was expecting a genuine season, but alrite! 😎👍

I still can't tell that to this day 🤣

You played yourself with the last phrase mate. 🤣

The gangs of old york

"Fish are fishy because they're fished with fishiness." ---Albert Einstein

You are right I lived there 50 years ago and that is how it was, miserable violent place and the show is pretty true. You would go months and never see the sky for dirty black clouds. The Shelby are based on the sheldons who still existed in the 70s. I’m from Dora road small Heath.

This is what probably fed into the stories from Steven Knight's Birmingham grandparents, the stories which first influenced him into writing the show in the first place, rather than the ACTUAL historical Victorian members so named, which I guess is something he discovered in his research. Then, wanting a more fashionably attractive period, he transplanted his fictitious veterans of the WWI trenches into powerful gang leaders of the 1920s, rather than pesky troublemakers of the 1890s, which further allowed him to equally feed in fictitious connections from them to REAL though small bits of Birmingham and English history during that time, though sadly due to Birmingham apart from the Black Country Museum just outside of it in Dudley NOT having ANY historical locations of the period, so filming the first series anyway mainly in Liverpool (Ringo Starr's original home as the exterior for the Shelbys) and Manchester, but still using REAL place names in the city for these locations (which confused me, a born citizen of the city!). So, to me, with its horses and gunplay, and playing around with history and characters of the time the series in its original form is more of a FANTASY URBAN WESTERN, which gradually morphs, for the better once a good part of the story leaves Birmingham in later series, into a pretty good twenties and thirties British gangster series which I enjoy more (ironically, there was ANOTHER show actually called 'Gangsters', which was set in Birmingham and this time actually shot there, including using Duran Duran's original 70s nightclub, The Rum Runner, which was a big hit at the time, so if you want to see gangs in the real city I suggest you watch that!).

Hello 👋, and how are you?
