I love how composed Bullock is in this movie. Normally he’d barely be able to keep it together in instances like this, but here he takes everything in stride and gives it right back.
Bullock continued to be civic minded and sought to bring law and order to the chaotic mining camp. He participated in several ad hoc committees that addressed local issues and was appointed sheriff of Lawrence County in February 1877. The hardware store was a success and Star & Bullock would eventually expand to several locations in present day South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming. Bullock’s business interests would grow to include banking, mining, and ranching. His ranching operations, primarily raising horses, near the confluence of the Redwater and Belle Fourche Rivers provided a lasting legacy when 120 acres were sold to a townsite company. The town of Belle Fourche was founded in July 1891 and briefly became the county seat in 1894. During the Spanish-American War, Bullock joined the Third Volunteer Cavalry Regiment under Colonel Melvin B. Grigsby. He recruited eighty-four men from the Deadwood area and led Troop A as a captain. Grigsby’s Rough Riders spent the war at Camp Thomas, Georgia. Bullock’s friendship with Roosevelt grew during this time. He campaigned with Roosevelt in 1900 and joined him on a two month western trip in 1903. Bullock also introduced Roosevelt’s sons to the West by hosting them in Belle Fourche and guiding them through camping, fishing, and hunting trips. After Roosevelt became president, Bullock was appointed superintendent of the Black Hills Forest Reserve and became the United States Marshal for South Dakota in December 1905. He was reappointed by President Taft and served for eight years. After Roosevelt’s death in January 1919, Bullock worked with the Society of Black Hills Pioneers to commemorate his friend. He selected a site three miles north of Deadwood on Sheep Mountain, which was renamed Mount Roosevelt, and supervised the construction of a thirty-five foot tower on the summit. Around one thousand people attended the dedication of the Mount Roosevelt Friendship Monument on July 4, 1919. Bullock would pass away less than three months later from the effects of colon cancer. He was buried in Mount Moriah Cemetery among other Deadwood pioneers. Source: Wolff, David A. Seth Bullock: Black Hills Lawman. Pierre, S.D: South Dakota State Historical Society Press, 2009. Print.
3:58 - This might be the single greatest Seth Bullock moment ever recorded, saving his best friend's wedding from complete doom. So awesome. Now that's a hero we can all be proud of. And Merrick taking a picture of Hearst at the end makes this scene even better. 😀
It was everything aligning at the right place and time. When Hearst first came to Deadwood, he found a barely united camp that he thought he could muscle over- and he came close. It was Al and Seth's cooperation that prevented that. When Hearst returned to Deadwood, the camp was gone and he was facing something he couldn't buy, bully, or burn: a town. Killing Charlie Utter, who was one of the few who was thoroughly respected in town, made the rest band together like never before. Seth arresting Hearst and Jane calling a mob on him was a beautiful way to end his involvement in town.
seriously, i wonder to this day how so many pricks get to live so long in this world,when all i saw and heard and read about in history books and movies of back shooters and bushwackers,rotten people live too damn long,and that's a fact
I love this movie. Shows the absolute progress (or lack thereof) among characters. Bullock has always been extremely smart, but emotionally stunted. He went from a man of few words to perhaps the second most articulate person in the camp; all while being guided by the same direct moral compass
01:29....apart from the first glances Alma gives Seth in the movie, in their first scene and then as he walks her up to her hotel as they converse in the doorway as Sophia is unpacking, Alma clearly still deeply loves this bloke. She fell for him after a marriage foisted on her by a gambling dead shit father to the idiot who was a dope in every way and Dan pushed off a cliff in season one. Alma knew when she fell pregnant she would have severe problems giving birth, she saId so as receiving this advice as a younger woman but she wanted a child and she loved Bullock. The gift of David Milch is so apparent in this movie and the actors are simply without peer. Olyphant is a gun, versatile, he is so good as the real Seth Bullock. That US Deputy Marshall Raylan Givens swaggerish walk is just so magnificent as he walks off after just shrugging off Hurst's threat, and gee did he also look like Raylan when he quick drew and in the blink of an eye put Hurst's left hand bodyguard down on the balcony. Magnificent.. Molly Parker is also just sublime, people may not know she had competing filming in Canada as this movie was being made and had to fly back to the set on private jets to cut her scenes, that these two can still just not only 'hold' a scene, but 'nail' a scene as two characters, and people whom timing and Seth's brothers death fighting in Mexico also just killed off [pardon the pun] ANY opportunity for both to have married and lived their lives. I truly hope, as the son of a wonderfully loving Father who has Parkinsons, that David Milch an continue on being productive, and leaving the world what is a unique gift, as long as is physically and cognitively possible. I really wish there was a final season here, I'll take with glee and then some this movie, but really the richness of the storyline, and the actors, and writing, cinematography just for me anyway puts this series/movie up there with the absolute genuine film diamonds that generations will look back upon with wonderment.
I love bullock so badass he reminded me more of raylan givens in the movie I guess because I got so used to seeing him in justified nobody can play a better lawman than Timothy Olyphant
The scene where Trixie tells Sol they should get married, After Sol says free all day Trixie looks out and has this absolute expression of joy on her face. Then Sol looks straight ahead and he has the same look, absolutely great scene.
I believe Al says “ terrible fire at your claim last night senator”. It sounds like fight but I think he says fire because Bullock torched his lumber. Either way I love how Al can’t help himself and starts to roast Hearst.
@@valkyrie9646 doesn’t make any sense though for the real Seth Bullock was madly in love with Martha they were childhood sweethearts. There was no Alma Garrett.
1:46 Another path taken, more effort spent, not been so overwhelmed by problems and fears in hindsight insignificant, time proves us all fools when the candles fade out and we are left with the facts and regret surfaces. To all the young souls out there succumbed to fear and a sense of insignificance, burn your flame brightest, you’re more significant and beautiful than you’ll ever realize. Happy occasion.
Al taps Dan on the shoulder when Hearst walks in-basically a 'we might need the services of your keen blade once again'. Love Al's smile at the way Bullock handled Hearst.
So a judge issued a warrant for a person who at that time did not exist and would not until the marriage vows had been taken? So if the wedding was delayed, the warrant would have been void as they could not have found the person in question. Ah, the wild west.
I had to re-watch because I'm certain I saw bushwhacker Dan dancing and genuinely looking like he's having a great time doing it. Just odd seeing this side as in many ways Dan was like Seth; both of them capable of going from 0 to 100 in a flash with no temperament whatsoever. Trixie couldn't have found a kinder soul than Sol to have as a husband. Sol always radiated a deep seated kindness.
Great scene...Alma and Seth...ladies take note... she is the kind of woman men go to war to protect. Gentle yet strong. Strong yet feminine. Intelligent yet submissive. Even with a fortune, she knew when and how to allow masculinity to direct her. I loved her character and wish I would have found someone like her.
The big flaw in this show is that the Senator wasn't killed early on. It would have been easy, and anyone involved would have gotten off free as a bird. Considering men today, like Epstein, with the monitoring technology we have and the institutional safeguards and "suicide" with very little inquiry, it would have been a walk in the park disposing of the Senator back in those days. And considering the brutality, immorality, and ruthlessness of the town of Deadwood, I found it to be so annoying that he wasn't killed that I could not finish watching the series.
It's not a "flaw". George Hearst was a real person in history with a long life, so they couldn't have killed him in the show. The show is based on real people at the time and real incidents recorded. Hearst did terrible things in Deadwood and elsewhere in real life and was never truly punished for them in the way you'd want to see. It's the way things went and the way things go. And even if he was a fictional character, it wouldn't have made sense to kill Hearst, as his deeds in the camp were very slow-moving and gradual, with his takeover in the 3rd season, so that by the time he was doing TRULY awful things, he had TONS of his men there watching the moves of everyone in the camp. And Trixie *did* try to kill Hearst - she just missed with her shot and got him in the shoulder.
Have all the original fans of this series died except for me? Seeing these comment sections is depressing. This movie is to Deadwood what Godfather 3 was to its predecessors. Same name, same cast, but not nearly the same thing. This looks like a corporate effort to recapture magic they know nothing about.
This was very good ending, actors got way older and this is lots of years after original Deadwood and time has moved on. Glad that we finally had closure
A tad late to this party, but I'm still sucking air. It wasn't as dark as the series, nor did it capture the same magic, and it was a smidge too sentimental, but don't forget that it was written by an ailing David Milch. His mind is slowly deteriorating. I think that under the circumstances we should be thankful that we were given closure at all. And frankly, the fact that they were able to gather almost the entirety of the original cast was nothing short of a miracle.
The real MVP of this scene was Merrick. "Smile, senator Hearst" as he's being arrested again lol. Great movie.
Oh shit! That did make me laugh. 😂
Merrick ws played by Powers Boothe.
@@monerz1 Powers Boothe played Cy Toliver
@@Greydevil82 Oh, you're thinking of Top Gun.
@B Basen Last time Bullock arrested Hearst, Al forbade Merrick from printing a word about it. This time he wasn't leaving that plum on the tree.
Watching this movie felt like seeing family you haven't seen in a long time.

Maybe it's corny, but my heart ached to say goodbye to these characters.

I do love that nearly every major character gets to personally tell Hearst to go fuck himself in one form or another during this awesome film.
Lord knows Seth owes Sol that and much more!

Very well put.
The years and family life have refined him but he’s still got that twitch in his mustache.
Now he doesn't drag people by the ear, now he has fancy handcuffs and all
Bullock wasn't emotionally stunted. His emotions were a reasonable reaction to the place in which he was living.
4:30 love how Dan had his hand on his gun, shows in the years we missed he was always ready to back up bullock.

4:30 Al's smile at Seth. The entire fucking essence of this show encapsulated. Great movie, great ending. Huzzah!
Al and Seth’s growth is what made this show so compelling.
Don't fuck with Deadwood
Huzzah!
I love that look between Alma and Seth. What could have been...
I love bullock so badass he reminded me more of raylan givens in the movie I guess because I got so used to seeing him in justified nobody can play a better lawman than Timothy Olyphant

Damn i was so excited and sad after this movie ended bringing closure to possible best series ever been made
Alma. True heroine. Much respect
kim dickens was like 53 when they shot this, drinkin that halle berry shit.
Ah yes square dancing, still hotter than twerking.
The scene where a dying Sam Fields makes Bullock cry is probably the greatest scene of Tim Olyphant's career and that says a lot.
Sam wasn't dying, but he and Bullock share an emotional moment talking about Charlie's death.
"Smile Senator Hearst!"
I believe Al says “ terrible fire at your claim last night senator”. It sounds like fight but I think he says fire because Bullock torched his lumber.
Either way I love how Al can’t help himself and starts to roast Hearst.
Alma and Bullock the love that can never be
Wish he would have left his wife. He only stayed with her out of obligation, not love.
@@valkyrie9646 doesn’t make any sense though for the real Seth Bullock was madly in love with Martha they were childhood sweethearts. There was no Alma Garrett.
@@valkyrie9646 I think as the series progressed he "fell back into" love with his OG wife. At least thats how they made it seem to me.
i love deadwood

I don't even know where to begin with this, so early in the morning. Very funny 😀🤣🤣🤣!!!!
I wanted Seth and Alma to be together. Tragic. Glad Tricia and Sol ended up together. Sad that Charlie died.
So did I...
Old Dan looks like he got a little fatter, and a lot greyer. Bet that knife of his is still keen though
jordan hicks “them other operators forbear out of respect for me, and knowing what hot blood your blade would draw if they ever fucking presumed.”

Peep my boy Dan with his hand on his gun ..
and ready to pop out another eye no doubt.
Bullock had balls of steel!
SITUATION: HANDLED.
That’s the way my boy
And once again, holy shit.
Shakespeare + Milch = Deadwood
Then he gets the shit kicked out of him in the street lol. God, I loved this finale.
This movie was a superb ending to the series. 10/10

its almost 9am and after watching this, its going to be a good day
I loved this series
The Bullock affair arc feels so unresolved and god damn it is it bothersome
Mr. Hearst is indeed a knuckle-head when it's all said and done. And Molly Parker is still fine as hell..😉🙃
fucking loved this
I know Powers Boothe died but it still would've been better with Tolliver.
I had not seen the movie. Was Charlie Udder killed prior to opening scenes? Or during the movie?
During the first hour I think.
LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!
Is that the same actress who played Sofia when she was a child in the series?
Sorry now, but at 3:11 that's a plastic doll, right?
Ye seems so
It's an animatronic baby with movements, but yeah, it's not real. They probably didn't have time to find a baby for the scene.
