I loved the way Luciano is portrayed on this show. From all that I've heard from past historians of organized crime, Charles "Lucky" Luciano was a man that feared no one and had balls of Steel. He's doing a great job in this scene and especially the later years moving forward.
TheRealist 811 that’s true too, I do think this show does kinda soften Luciano up just a tad. Not a lot by all means because outside of the police, no one really f’ed with him. But let’s be honest, dude killed a lot of people, like IN REAL LIFE!! And that’s documented and facts. I don’t remember a scene where he killed anyone outside of ordering a bunch of hits.
Rothstein is such a fascinating person it’s almost weird😂😂😂guy was something else. Love how his personality was portrayed in this show, I feel they got a lot right. You can definitely tell very little people in that lifestyle was as level headed as he was.
AR was a genius. Basically fathered organized crime. Lucky Luciano himself was quoted in saying he learned everything from Arnold Rothstein...he was shot over a poker game I believe and on his death bed he refused to say who shot him. I kind of wished they showed his demise. Michael Stuhlbarg did an amazing job portraying his quiet genius and sort of elegant approach. Even threatening someone with death, he did it in the most respectful and well mannered way. 😂😂
@@theSuperviLLain_est It was neither said nor implicated, they just made a reference to Rothstein's passing when Lanksy runs into Nucky down in Havana. The hit Lansky set up was the failed hit on Nucky while he was in Cuba. Killing Rothstein offscreen was a shame but i understood why due to the time skip in season 5.
Ivo Nandi has an amazing screen presence. His depiction of Joe Masseria was boss! This scene has the best four characters on Boardwalk. Anatol Yusef, to say he’s English does an awesome Brooklyn accent.
I admit he do do good in this show. But it was hard for me at first to take him serious in this roll. After seeing him as AJ's friend in the sopranos. He was just a lil wanna be tough guy. But he did good here.
@@robsancho3978 - Hey, that bakery boy who Christopher shot in the foot became a prohibition agent in Boardwalk Empire that Eli killed in his living room! From little acorns, eh? LOL!
Luciano glaring at Maseria @ 2:04....cut away to Maseria @ 2:06. Painting behind him. Skull appears over his left shoulder. Subtle foreshadowing at it's finest. Every detail (well almost) was carefully selected by the production crew of BWE. Dialogue, sets, music, even back ground......
@@Emory_OrginalG_Tate No, its not. Its an easily verifiable fact. Lucky worked for Rothstein long before he worked for Masseria, and then eventually Maranzano. Again, factually, you are wrong.
Every time gangsters in movies talk percentages I always wonder how they know how much that will be. Do they have their own accountant auditing the books too haha
Sounds awesome but these guys were enforcers they did not have political clout or big business brains to dream up the world in which they wanted to create.
Just to bad Jimmy was a dummy! Lost it all over 5 grand and acting like he earned his street stripes the long way although he was just a baby in that life
Rothstein looked down on anyone who so much as used a double negative and was pretty vocal about it, Masseria talked like Kevin from the office in the episode where he invents his own language and Rothstein did not for a second fuck around with him, dude was serious lol
Lmao AR new dam well what card game he was talking about lmao I loved this show this scene is so great all actors are great joe da boss is a great actor .oh I guess they stab there selves
Kinda out the blue here but does anyone else at 4:19 feel like that guy could seriously have been a brother of Al Capone? I mean my goodness, crazy similarities they both have. Obviously, this is strictly IMO 👉🏾😉👈🏻
So much to unpack. Joe the Boss probably signed his own death warrant sneering at Luciano like that. He just had to wait the better part of a decade for the sentence to get carried out.
Maybe in real life but on this show, Lucky Luciano went under Joe Masseria while Arnold Rothstein's still alive. He let Joe have em because Arnold couldn't control him anymore and saw that his potential was reached in his eyes.
One translation was bad. When Joe the boss says “I’m watching you boy” the real translation is “Don’t break my dick, boy”. Sicilian is my second language.
Lansky: 🗣 We already pay half the take of that game to you. Rothstein: 🗣 Yes, and now you boys know why!!! Translation: 👉🏽 You guys pay me half because I’ve already been paying Mr. Masseria “Under The Table Money” Privilege from the start. The extra 10% is coming out of your pockets to him directly now while I’ll still be paying him on the DL (Down Low) moving forward. So honestly, you should be kissing the ground I walk on.🔥🔥🔥 I Absolutely love the subtle nuances of this show. After The Sopranos, The Wire, and Breaking Bad this show, Boardwalk Empire, is the best series ever made. PERIOD CASE CLOSED!!!
Joaquín Enríquez Breaking Bad is so bad??? Seriously Brotha, but hey if that’s your opinion I can’t get mad about it. I Respect it!!! But man, Breaking Bad IMO is an awesome series
You've got it a bit backwards though. At this point, Masseria and many other high up Italians were customers of Rothstein, not the other way around. They were the ones effectively paying Rothstein, who offered services to them, chiefly financing. Lucky and Lanksy paid AR for protection the way many others paid Masseria for protection, but AR didn't pay Masseria shit. It was the business relationship between AR and Masseria which was so valuable to Masseria that, as a courtesy, before killing Lucky and Lansky, he would first reach out and see if AR objected. Now you see why they paid AR. Otherwise they never would have been swiftly murdered without even seeing it coming.
This is a superb show however all the violence does turn my stomach. I now have some understanding about possibly why both Rothstein & especially Joe Masseria went down. Meyer & Luciano were tired of paying a tax to those two other gangsters. Great acting in this scene.

@@eleanramirez2447 but he was never a hothead
The way he stood up when masseria told him he was watching him
@@caisersoze2003 yeah.....the way the actor stood up to the other actor just as the director told him to, amazing

I *love* the tense portrait of mutual respect between Owen and Richard in this scene. Amazing performances both.
The only dude to pull out a gun on harrow and not get killed by harrow..
And he got whacked by Maseria coz those 2 start-trouble-from-ten-year-old pricks at the beginning.
@@BacktoAzn thats a damn shame. He was my favorite character
@Shapiro Shekelberg he'd shit you out like yesterday's sausage

He still ended up in a wooden crate. Special delivery.

NO CONSEEDUHS! EES MINE!
Richard could've killed him three times before he drew even once! "Why didn't you shoot me?" "I may yet!" Classic.
I loved Vincent Piazza’s acting in this show. It’s shame I haven’t seen anything from him since.
I admit he do do good in this show. But it was hard for me at first to take him serious in this roll. After seeing him as AJ's friend in the sopranos. He was just a lil wanna be tough guy. But he did good here.

Trust me you will. Season 3 is set in 1923 and that's when Luciano started his early rise into power. Same with Capone in Chicago.

No. Its Lucky Luciano.

Owen and Richard teaming up
They had respect for each other. They were both doing the same job, just for different teams.
Sounds awesome but these guys were enforcers they did not have political clout or big business brains to dream up the world in which they wanted to create.
OWEN'S IN THE BOX
😰
Lucky still had to go back and do business with the man in order to wise up to Italian ways
Richard Harrow is one hellava enforcer for Darmoty
Just to bad Jimmy was a dummy! Lost it all over 5 grand and acting like he earned his street stripes the long way although he was just a baby in that life
1:00 that look Lanksy and Luciano give each other. They're probably both thinking Jimmy is the guilty one.

1930s and 20s was a great time to sell liquor,in the 40sand 50s it was already legal.

For talking about family the whole day, mobsters don't value the lifes of nephews that high.
Arnold Rothstein and Ramsay Bolton from GOT are pretty much the same vibe.
