      Yes! A popular thing in the 60's and 70's. The only choice of a European luxury car was a Rolls Royce, a Bentley, or perhaps a Jaguar. So big American cars were imported for the wealthy people. Not so much these days. You might see a modern American Mustang on the roads in the UK, but not many other left hand drive Amercan imports.

      Plus the Krays were big admirers of old school American gangsters and idolised guys like Al Capone! Which is why they drove those American cars!

    My grandfather did business with the krays in the 60s. Apparently they were incredibly polite when they met, and greeted my mother, in a pushchair, and ronnie gently shook her hand. Sure they were terrible people who did terrible things, but they oftentimes showed great kindness and politeness to the ordinary people.

    Lived in East London in 1966-1969 as a child. The Krays were celebrities back then and very popular, local boys made good. They were always in the newspapers photographed with film stars, TV stars and pop singers. They came from Bethnal Green, 3 miles from where we lived at the time. At seven years old it all for the most part went past me unnoticed, but my mum thought of them the same as all the other celebrities in London at the time.

    Hey Chrissie, I’m happy you’re enjoying Tom Hardy’s work. He’s quite an excellent actor. Thanks ever so much for sharing your thoughts on this movie.
    Tom Hardy made a TV series called Tabboo. It’s set in the 1800s and is most definitely worth a watch, even if it’s just for your own enjoyment. It’s dark, grimey a little spooky and his character is so well suited for his skills. Overall great cast and an unusual story to boot.
    Looking forward to your next reaction and wish you a glorious day. 😊

    @Ingens_Scherz 3 месяца назад +2

    I always liked this movie for lots of good reasons (Tom Hardy and rest of the cast, and the storytelling quality) but I always felt it didn't quite understand where all this violence and desperate crime came from. It came from poverty. No one had any money in east London or in any major British inner cities in those days. So, for instance, the young woman might have wanted to run, but she simply couldn't or, indeed, wouldn't know how to.
    This Hardy vehicle is actually a bit of a remake of a smaller movie from 1990 which I actually prefer to this, mainly because that movie absolutely did get it.
    For instance, there's a great scene at the heart of the 1990 movie where one of the Kray's mother's own "circle" (an aunt I think, if memory serves) delivers a bitter monologue about "men". I haven't seen that movie for years so I might have to watch it again!

He wanted people to be looking at the paper the next day saying
    "Jesus Wept, they found Ronny dead with close to a hundred dead gangsters surrounding him.

    I'll be watching tonight after work; it's always fun to watch with you, Chrissie. You should see the 1990 film, The Krays. These two films balance each other out quite nicely, the 1990 film being far more sinister and hinting at the paranormal. You are very cute and sweet. 🥰😘🤭 xxx

    I learned my second language as an adult, but watching London crime movies as a teenager felt like a bit of a prelude. British slang is so bizarre and so extensive that almost everything said is either a figure of speech or a slang word. You could take years of English as a non-native speaker and become fluent in the language, but if you found yourself in that culture it would be like you learned Spanish to go to Portugal. I was in South America volunteering at a conservation camp in the Peruvian rainforest. I was talking to a local who spoke English when a guy from London walked by us and said, "Oi, my telly's done a runnner. Could you give it a bell?" The Peruvian guy had no idea what that sentence could even possibly mean and he told me that I was actually trilingual for understanding "whatever the fuck language that just was." I couldn't "give it a bell" because we were about as far from civilization as you can possibly be without going to space. I reminded him of that and he rolled his eyes, laughed and called himself a "prat," which got me another sidelong look and a chuckle from the Peruvian. I expressed that there was also slang in Peru and he was like, "Yeah, but we didn't overhaul our entire Castellano language to come up with it. Quechua is even better. That's a language where people say exactly what they mean, and best of all it didn't arrive in this place by way of genocide." Listening to the locals hate on the Spanish was so fun. They won't even call their own language "Spanish," instead referring to it by its regional dialect, and young people in that country are very focused on learning Quechua so that they don't have to speak the language of their imperialist oppressors. Fuck, I miss Peru. Nothing will make you understand how shallow our own culture is like living there. It's a place where you can buy mescaline in a market, take it, walk out into the hills higher than freaking God, stumble across an ancient ruin that isn't even on a map, much less does it come with tour guides or entrance fees, and meet a local stranger, also tripping their face off. There you'll have a great conversation about history and spirituality or just a nod and a subtle exchange of unspoken understanding. That's Peru. That is, most significantly, NOT the United States. I'm going to die there. I'm determined. My final days will be in Cusco.

    The club singer is "Duffy", she had a short stint in popularity in the British charts in the 2000s I think, she could of made it a bit further in her singing career but I think the was always in the shadows of Amy Whitehouse (similar genre of music), as Amy become more known internationally.

    • @gdarmo
      @gdarmo 3 месяца назад +2

      Duffy was never fully comfortable with her rise to fame. She took a hiatus from music shortly after her second album in 2010 due to a terrible traumatic experience where she was abducted, drugged, flown to another country and raped. Her involvement in Legend marked her return to music as well as acting, but she never returned to the spotlight full-time.

      Damn, I can't believe you just called me stupid 😂 That's the whole point of my comment. That's why it was so weird that wasn't the case in this movie. Others have explained that this was an imported American car and that's why the steering wheel was on the "North American" side.

    It stars Tom Hardy and his real life wife Charlotte Riley. It’s one of the best mini series ever.

    Hey Chrissie - You should check out the 1990 "The Krays" film with Martin and Gary Kemp as the brothers, for me always feel like the better film but probably due to familiarity more than anything as Tom Hardy's performance is brilliant. Funnily enough I drove past The Blind Begger (The London Pub in the film where Ronnie Kray murdered George Cornell in full view of witnesses) yesterday as down in London for a work meeting.

    yep this is true story and gangsters was more know as The Firms in the uk and they was tended to be loved by there community as they often put money back into the community like the Kray twins in this move donated money to a ton of things like Repton Boys Club a boxing club, the fighting tended not to spill over into the public and was often against each other

    20:54 - One of the many things this film got wrong about Ronnie!
    In real life it was HIS IDEA to do business with the American Mafia and it was HIS IDEA to keep Leslie Payne around! He was much more clever than this film gave him credit for!

    • @GeorgeMurphy-i1p
      @GeorgeMurphy-i1p 23 дня назад

      Ronnie idolised the likes of Capone that much that he even gathered the leaders of the London underworld to "divide up" London!
      Apparently, however, Charlie Richardson either said or did something that was as good as laughing in his face which is why he held a grudge against the Richardson's for so long! It's known amongst the old-timers that the Richardson gang were much smarter and much more successful than the Krays...

    • @GeorgeMurphy-i1p
      @GeorgeMurphy-i1p 23 дня назад

      23:40 - another falsehood of this film is that Reggie abused or "raped" Frances but in real life the likes of Freddie Foreman and others said that Reggie worshiped the ground she walked on and would NEVER have done something like that to her!
      I've always said that the perfect Kray film would've been Tom Hardy as the Krays, with the guys that played George Cornell and Jack The Hat and the mother that played Violet Kray from the old film!
