He had 4 mentors his father Thomas who helped him to think about the less fortunate, Alfred the protector, Raz the teacher and Falcone the one that pulled the wool from his eyes.
R.I.P. Tom Wilkinson He did a fantastic job as Falcone, the power he showed to Wayne in this scene alone is great portrayal of the character. Going to re watch the film of another one we lost :(
"You think that because your mommy and your daddy got shot you know the ugly side of life, but you don't. You've never tasted desperate" "This is a world you'd never understand, and you always fear what you don't understand" Man, Falcone was so underrated in this movie. He basically taught Bruce a life lesson that used to become Batman. Falcone was the first who gave Bruce a "slap" of reality on his face
@@a_guinness"your father would've been disappointed" It's such a subtle line that she says as she's getting out of the car but you can tell it's ringing through Bruce's head
I love how it kindve craps on the entire Batman mythos but still basically helped create this Batman. Never seen anybody tell Bruce to stop crying just because his parent died. Hes usually allowed to go around depressed and sulking. Falcone told him his story isnt unique in Gotham. Basically the same thing Rachel just told him in the car.
I think it’s fitting Falcone is portrayed here as a master of fear, only to be taken out by the Scarecrow who has that mantle in the comics. It showcases how the old guard of criminality in Gotham are being usurped by the supervillain. RIP Tom Wilkinson, an underrated but essential performance in this film.
Nod, it was an interesting interplay, the old guard seeming to put on at least a pretense, a twisted civility, and more than anything, a reason for the horrible things...the supervillains meanwhile skip most all of that choose to operate with no restrictions beyond their personal psychosis.
Falcone, as much of a jerk as he is, makes a VERY good point in this scene. Bruce doesn’t understand the criminal underworld, or, rather, what drives it. He only thinks about his own vengeance, which is understandable. His parents got killed after all. However, it’s also shortsighted. A guy like Falcone has had to deal with worse threats than a rich drama queen to get to where he is, so no wonder Bruce can’t intimidate him. Bruce must become more than just a man to succeed, as Ra’s Al Ghul states.
Bruce has vast wealth so could in theory use it against him, which alone should make Falcone wary of him. However, getting rid of Falcone wouldn't solve the problem anyway. Other than making Bruce feel momentarily better about himself. It would only cause someone else to take his place.
how though? start openly bribing people? They'd be scared to take his bribes over falconey's knowing that the mobster's money is backed by murder. What is Bruce gonna do, hire a goonsquad? Nah, Tony Soprano has more power than Satya nadela, having people who will murder for you on your word is an ugly power, but it's real and ultimate. Kind of neat that this guy made Batman, at least in this continuity. A couple sentences and a billionaire uproots his life for years and devotes it completely to a cause. Guy should have been a motivational speaker@@Mitjitsu
Well i think Bruce sure knows desperate when his Parents were killed . And Falcone is only scared of not ending in jail where he belongs . If he was at least little good he woudnt need to
@@johnz85 I mean it's really obvious that Falcone wasn't trying to tell Bruce the truth. He was saying that as a final act of disrespect before kicking him out the door, and to stain his father's memory.
The power he refers to is the power to kill someone in public without anyone stopping you because your henchmen could kill their loved ones. Sure, Falcone bought their co-operation. But that alone doesn't keep them in fear for their lives afterwards. Which is the difference between a rich criminal and a rich entrepreneur.
Rest in peace to Tom Wilkinson his performance in Batman Begins as minor of a role that he had was one of the highlights of the movie. He will be sorely missed.
@CraigMcfly1985 Yeah and? It still dosen't change the fact he was the best Falcone just like Ben Mckenzie is the best Gordon and Sean Pertwee is the best Alfred. Simple as that.
I always appreciated Tom Wilkinson’s classic 40’s Gangster sneer akin to the likes of Paul Muni or Edward G Robinson. You can tell he’s having a ball cutting loose with this role. Even in his previous villain roles he was more understated - here he gets to bring life and color and eccentricities to Falcone.
I remember reading an interview with Wilkinson where he talked about this role, he said he played Falcone as a guy who didn't see himself as a villain, just a man doing what he had to do to survive and thrive in his world. I think that's what makes this performance so good - after all, the bad guys never think of themselves as bad, no matter how evil their acts are.
Figured I’d return to my comment with a fairwell to the brilliant Tom Wilkinson, and thank him for all his work and giving us this performance we can continue to enjoy.
It does give you the idea that Falcone wasn't always a successful crime boss. He had to build himself up from nowhere and was probably poor and desperate the majority of his life.
Do you know why we have a dark side? Because we’ve forgotten how to turn the switch on. “And this is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds are evil.” - John 3:19 I wonder if people like Carmine have ever looked in the mirror. I mean, they have a sheet as long as their barrels. Any longer and somebody will have a lot of paperwork to deal with.
Loose ends always come back to haunt you in life. But at the same time, each one of us has a Darkside in us. Some people refer it as split personalities. The way I see it, if you're a good hearted person, then you're worst side is that you could be a wild person as in hyperactive and playful in a humorous way but deep down inside you have a big heart which is good. But if you're worst side is that you are cold hearted and care nothing or the people you hurt in your life then you are a monster deep down inside.
He had 4 mentors his father Thomas who helped him to think about the less fortunate, Alfred the protector, Raz the teacher and Falcone the one that pulled the wool from his eyes.
I’ve just been informed from New York Post that Tom Wilkinson has died at age 75. I remember I first watched him in this great movie. RIP Tom Wilkinson, 1948-2023.
RIP Mr. Wilkinson. Nolan was so brilliant in how he sometimes casted against type (this actor was far better known for sympathetic roles when this came out), and the results here show how right he was.
Falcone created Batman in this scene. Bruce doesn’t go looking for answers until he gets called out here. Yeah you’re angry, and yeah you have spirit, but until you understand the world you’re trying to fight against, you won’t make a damn bit of difference. You’ll be just another rich kid with a chip.
“You’d have to go a thousand miles to meet someone who didn’t know your name” Bruce literally travels the world to become an average Joe like everyone else, this movie’s writing is poetic, really well done
Watching this scene again for the first time in years. The lines and Tom Wilkinson's performance: chef's kiss! Even I want to tell Bruce not to come back lol
Every year, it seems, we lose one amazing personality in the final three days. This year, 2023, Tom Wilkinson was that person. We'll miss you Tom. Rest in peace.
One of my favorite acting scenes from Tom Wilkinson. Love how he just says and pronounces certain words, and love how he made Carmine Falcone scary in this one scene. May you Rest In Peace, Mr. Wilkinson. And thank you for your performances. You will be greatly missed.... 😔🌹❤️
I really like this scene because he calls him "prince" which can refers us to a kind of "medieval allegory" of a prince who at night secretly becomes a dark knight to arrest and punish the thugs who rule the kingdom.
@@elder-woodsilverstein7716 You ask for too many details, this image remains symbolic, we mustn't get lost in imagining a whole structure of a realistic feudal society... ^^'
I thought you were making a Robin Hood reference, i.e. a young upper class man who has to roll up his sleeves and physically, violently tackle the corruption hurting his people.
This is what’s been missing from superhero movies in the last decade - superb dialogue. Up until Endgame a few Marvel movies had strong dialogue, but since then, nothing. Modern DC? Not a chance. That’s why this trilogy remains untouched as the best superhero trilogy of all time.
It's ironic how everything Falconi said pave the way for Bruce to understand what he have to do afterwards and end becoming Batman, a character that no one knows who is related to or what he is... and people always will fear what they don't understand.
Bruce at this point in the story was an absolute selfish rich brat and Falcone ironically gave him the pep talk he needed to hear while also being badass laying out the map of people who could be in favor of locking up Falcone but obviously won't because; well as he said "Power of fear."
Falcone basically gave Bruce idea about fear, anonimity, corrupt in police, and go to see the world..
Couldnt ask for better mentor than him
he pretty much ironically gave the rich, spoiled and angsty brat a pep talk that he needed.
He is no mentor the way he has his goons beat up Bruce I swear I d kill both Falcone and his ruthless goons

Rip, Tom Wilkinson, what a wonderful actor who graced so many movies!
I cant believe the guy that played Falcone is English in real life. That's a true actor.
I normally can tell when actors are English. They slip here and there, but not falcone. I was blown away.
Funny thing is even Batman, Scarecrow, Ra's, and Gordon are played by British and Irish actors
He played male stripper in full monty
He’s from Yorkshire, which makes the accent thing even more wild.
Sadly Carmine was 100% correct about what he said
Carmine's speech basically propelled bruce to leave Gotham and "find himself", so yeah, it had to be true on some level.
I like how this movie is about Bruce Wayne overcoming his fear.
