@@obiwanfisher537 That is the OP's exact point. That trust and respect could only be between two soldiers who "get it," and forms the basis of their relationship.
I was always mad no one ever used him to his full potential. I think it was shown to be too effective and every problem would have ended with him taking care of it with surgical precision. If you look back on many episodes you'll see richard could of ended it too quick and easy. One example, Nucky & Owen are planning Masseria's assassination while Richard is in the background washing dishes. I know historically it wouldn't make sence but ive always thought it was funny that instead of using the battle hardened sniper, they use Owen, who is a great character also, but lets be honest, hes no soldier. In reality he would be seen as more of a terrorist in his country, blowing up government buildings and such.
Such a hard life I made me tear up some people didn't have a choice getting forced into war by your government seeing all death around Him made him cold hearted so he came back a monster original gangster
Despite all the people he killed and the things he did, I was never fully sold on him being a bad man. Capone, Rosetti.. Bad men. But, Harrow always had this underlying humanity to him that separated him from the rest. Almost like he wasn't supposed to be there, but what he did was what kept him relevant in the world after the war, despite him hating it. A truly tragic character.
The character arc of Richard Harrow is a stark reminder to everyone that the 'past' is a reference library, not designed for habitation. The contented soul exits only or those who learn from the past, plan for the future,..but live in the present. Bye gone demons never tire of visitation, so why rent them space in the present.
People that are haunted by the past and live in it usually can't help it because they are affraid that the trauma of the past will happen again and they can't control it. They feel powerless...I'm speaking for myself hear ofcourse with my experiences.
The way he says I've stopped counting is what gets me. He says it like he finally realizes the gravity of it all. Now that he has his purpose, he finally starts to think about who those people that he killed meant to others.
More a sign of a sociopath. When he counted and remembered them, it felt like remorse. Not caring to count is more of a sign he sees his victims as obstacles in his way not as humans.
I liked the scene where the hobo says “These woods are for living. Understand me?” I like how there are multiple reasonable interpretations of what the hobo said, but the obvious one is “Don’t kill yourself around here.” I think the other meaning is that these hobos have all had hard lives, and they help each other. They don’t want police snooping around making their lives harder, and they don’t want to see any more tragedy than they already have. These men just want food, shelter and friends in their little haven they’ve made for themselves.
@@Crazyivan777 that's how I always interpreted it. That he was trying to extend a hand in comfort to another man he could tell was in pain.... but it was the 1920s, and men were more stoic.
@@jasonbari5997 "men should’ve stayed more stoic" Sure. Keep all emotions bottled up within you. Never let it all out, ever. Perfect way to madness and destroying yourself and potentially others 101. Seriously, there are moments when all people must and should stay stoic. But it can't be done 100 % of the time, otherwise you end up fucking up your mental health and your overall well-being.
Richard was the reason I watched the series. All the guys from WW1 were phenomenal characters and that’s what made the series so compelling to me. Richard was incredible.
I was pulling for the vets in the show, I felt a burning and hollow anger as they were snuffed out. The actors and writing was hard to describe. Incredible.
Boardwalk Empire is a great show but Jack Houston took it to the next level with Richard Harrow. The season 3 finale shootout might be my favorite scene in any show ever.
too bad without james and richard i didn't had any reason to watch it. Steve's character was surely great and the black mob boss too. But damn, you can't fucking compare.
Makes you wonder, because after the great war, the most atrocious war of the modern era, 15 year later is another war like that, and shows that the first wasn't enough to learn the suffering of a war.
When he tells Nucky, "I think you know the answer to that yourself", I've always believed Richard's answer is No, he doesn't think of any of them, and that is what bothers him, not everyone he has killed but the lack of guilt of it. He was self aware of being a monster, what a phenomenal character
Thats a good take. Ive always kind of taken it as him being like "fuck you, find someone else to talk this through with" as its directly after harrow tells nucky he wont try to avenge jimmy.
He meant he remembers each kill, the idea is you start to wonder whether they were brothers or fathers to someone just like you are to someone. And then guilt sets in, which you ignore until the weight gets bigger.
Nope. He's saying he thinks of them all the time and every day. People who kill suffer from PTSD and nightmares. Even if they believe it had to be done, the human brain and conscious does allow it for to be accepted.
I know these two were no angels but God I wanted them to make it out alive. Both great characters and played extremely well by the respective actors, to be fair the whole cast was amazing in this show.
One of the greatest characters in television history. Everything from the backstory to the tragic ending will make anyone have a heart felt moment for him. Well written show. 10/10
I just finished the show for the first time and tbh i only watched S5 becuase of Capone and Michael Shannon, Steve Buscemi characters. But Richard was no doubt the best character, show felt empty after he died
By far my favorite character in boardwalk empire! His portrayal of Richard was absolutely brilliant and should have gotten awards for his portrayal of a ex WW1 sniper
This video almost brought me to tears! Richard Harrow is the greatest character ever created in anything, and this video sums up the soul/essence of him. The music and chosen scenes are perfect. This is my all time favorite RUclips video.. ever
@@orangewarm1 Yes, my friend. His character development and in general is vey compelling to me. one example is From him beinjg a lonely assasin to finally getting everything he ever wanted (wife, family, love) gave him the inability to assisinate which was his demise. The scene of him taking out an entire mob faction single handedly to save Tommy... its vey cool
One of the greatest character's in the history of motion picture. People are always giving praise to Michael Pitt for his portrayal of Jimmy, however, its Jack Huston's portrayal of Richard Harrow that really deserves universal praise. Aside from being one of the most interesting, complex and deep character's on the show, he's played masterfully by Jack Huston.
One of the best written characters I've seen so far. Complex, unique, memorable and relatable in someway. You did a great job editing Richard's character. The music of choice is perfect for him
More painful than all the shrapnel in my back and legs or the lead from their rifles, trapped in my shoulder.. The pain and turbulence a man feels when he leaves behind himself as a killer! Venturing into an unknown world of emotion, feelings, and guilt! Many ancient texts say the dead spirits attach to ours when we free them for they are tormented just like myself! The last time I felt peace was right before my soul came back into my body after a nde! I saw the other side, i felt it...it was beautifull, peaceful, magical, and serene! I fear I wont be allowed to return tho for much has taken place since then! The plight of a warrior...
Hey man, from one Vet to another, I understand your pain. I have come to understand that it's not the bad that we do that keeps us from that place of peace you mentioned nor the good that we do that brings us there. It's grace man...free and undeserved to all that believe on Christ. King David was a warrior from the days of his youth. The fact that he was a man of violence kept God from allowing him to build the temple, a house of peace. That did not take away from the fact that he was called a man after God's own heart by God himself and was assured that in the life to come that he would see God. According to the Lord's prayer we must forgive to have this forgiveness and that includes forgiving ourselves sometimes. Don't hold on to things that God has taken away. Semper Fi SGT USMC 1980-1992

Legendary, I don't think many people thought that guy would become one of the best characters in television history based off that first episode... Legendary performance/writing
This character deeply connects with me. Reason being he reminds me of my father. My father who also served in the SADF in the 80's. Today my father is not who he used to be. He is absent and is deep in addiction.
Yes, many of those who fought in what was then Rhodesia or SWA never recovered. Like Richard Harrow and countless veterans, they survived but never came back. So much for war.
How did Huston not get a award for the portration of Richard Harrow ? How exactly is that fair ? I mean you can watch his scenes for the 1000th and youll still shed a tear. He is a freaking legend. Have you seen this guy in Fargo ? Astonishing......

The significance of that single line literally haunts me "i've stopped counting" that lines been crossed there was never any going back to begin with but that line signifies it like a nail in a coffin
One of the most heartbreaking characters on TV ever!!!! He was such a good hearted guy who loved and lived for his family, his sister, Jimmy and Angela and then Julia and Paul and especially the love of his life Tommy!!! But he was a soldier and War absolutely fucks people up to the point they don’t even know who they are anymore, he thought he was a monster, but he wasn’t, if only they had therapy back then for those WW1 soldiers, a lot more of them would have lived fruitful lives!! RIP Richard Harrow!!!!
"he thought he was a monster" And he became one the very moment he fired the sawn-off double-barreled shotgun and the trembling early teenager. The boy was shaking from everywhere on his body. He could barely keep the revolver in his hands, let alone load and cock it. He even raised his hands. Yet, Richard shot him dead. That one was far what made him a monster, and he knew it. I haven't watched any of the series. But I think that he willingly put himself in danger when he was killed in the crossfire, between the two black mobsters. He wanted the misery, the nightmares to end.
Much appreciated due to how criminally underappreciated Van Alden is. I look forward to seeing the eventual video whenever it's uploaded. Keep doing what you're doing my man, I really enjoy these edits that you make.
Whoever it was who created this character deserves a medal. Easily one of the best written characters ever written and as a side character too. Well done.
well that is the point right. They were both ww1 survivours suffering their wounds, society viewed Harrow as a monster yet he suffered his wound fighting for them. Same situation with Jimmy. They understand the pointless war... and having the only 2 people who actually accepted Harrow; Jimmy and his wife die... just made him realise he isn't the monster.... there are even bigger monsters out there and that Jimmys son must be protected from Ulimately he represents the underclass of the period, the men who had to suffer so we can watch the lavish rich lives of the bootlegging as the openly mock serving in ww1 as a back step. He is a brilliant character because every single one of us can understand his pain and suffering.... he lives in a society that couldnt care less that he sacrificed his face to protect them.
@@Crypt696 that's why I hated when Jimmy wanted to die. Harrowed would of killed all those men when nuck killed him. I DIED IN THOSE TRENCHES A LONG TIME AGO. I respect both those characters and chalky the most
I just finished the series. Richard Harrow was a heart-breaking character. I so wanted him to have a happy ending. I guess, in a way, his life became more than he ever imagined it could. A wife, a child, and friendship. I can't recall a fictional character ever being this touching. Big props to Jack Huston.
An amazing character one of the best I’ll ever see. Jack Huston was close to pursuing a different career before Richard Harrow came along. I really enjoyed Boardwalk Empire but Richard Harrow stole the show. What an amazing performance.
Richard Harrow was so unbelievably complex. One moment, he was a soft hearted, hat-in-hand gentleman who longed to have the normal life of a simple family man. Another moment, he was a stone-cold killer with balls of steel. Hands down favorite character of the series!

The beauty of that line is the amount of different ways it can be interpreted. Truly masterful writing.
"And we're still there. Aren't we.?" Many soldiers feel that way. They left a part of themselves over there... Wherever 'There' is....

Real goosebumps when he says “I’ve stopped counting” really a killer with a heart of gold.
He executed a 13 year old with a smirk on his face. Real heart of gold.
He didn't have a heart of gold. Just some remnants of mortality

Thank you for this. I miss the show and I miss Richard’s character.
You acknowledged his emotions as much as the violence surrounding him.
well done! brought tears to my eyes. harrow is one of my all time favorites.
To the Lost.
To the lost!🍻😥
Any particular ideas on new edits? I'm just curious but I would personally enjoy something on Van Alden.
I don't know yet. I don't have too much time because of school but I will try to make a good tribute for him.😅
Much appreciated due to how criminally underappreciated Van Alden is. I look forward to seeing the eventual video whenever it's uploaded. Keep doing what you're doing my man, I really enjoy these edits that you make.
Thank you so much🔥
Love this show I watched it years ago ! I WILL BE REWATCHING THIS SERIES
Pure loyalty
Such a fantastically written character. And perfectly portrayed by Jack Huston. The true highlight of Boardwalk Empire.
This saved me rewatching the entire series again, hes the only reason I kept watching!
Wish he'd been one of those to get out of the game!
what a marvelous character and the actor is sublime in his craft
Amazing character. Me and my brother were running through it, and we immediately loved him.
Great character, top to bottom.
This has got to be one of the GREATEST character ever
He was such a powerfully drawn character. Well done.
Fantastic DVD box Boardwalk excellent actors......one of the best serie!
This guy and “The Creatire-Caliban-John Clair” are two of my favorite all time.
I like to imagine him and Jimmy meet up in the after life and go out with their loved ones like it was before the war. RIP
His last episode was the last time I've actually gasped in a show. Gutted to say the least.
Whoever it was who created this character deserves a medal. Easily one of the best written characters ever written and as a side character too. Well done.
When he saved his best friends son I new how much HE LOVED HIS BROTHER....
well that is the point right. They were both ww1 survivours suffering their wounds, society viewed Harrow as a monster yet he suffered his wound fighting for them. Same situation with Jimmy. They understand the pointless war... and having the only 2 people who actually accepted Harrow; Jimmy and his wife die... just made him realise he isn't the monster.... there are even bigger monsters out there and that Jimmys son must be protected from
Ulimately he represents the underclass of the period, the men who had to suffer so we can watch the lavish rich lives of the bootlegging as the openly mock serving in ww1 as a back step. He is a brilliant character because every single one of us can understand his pain and suffering.... he lives in a society that couldnt care less that he sacrificed his face to protect them.
@@Crypt696 that's why I hated when Jimmy wanted to die. Harrowed would of killed all those men when nuck killed him. I DIED IN THOSE TRENCHES A LONG TIME AGO. I respect both those characters and chalky the most
Such a complicated but yet the best of brotherhood's...jimmy and richards deaths will stick with me
This was beautifully done.
😪 beautiful video, loved Richard, amazing performance from the actor
Richard Harrow. The baddest man on earth, with a heart of gold, wrapped in thorny vines.
Awesome. Thank you. Loved this character.
"Would YOU pay a dime... to see THIS?"
I just finished the series. Richard Harrow was a heart-breaking character. I so wanted him to have a happy ending. I guess, in a way, his life became more than he ever imagined it could. A wife, a child, and friendship. I can't recall a fictional character ever being this touching. Big props to Jack Huston.
The series ended for me when Richard Harrow died...
Well said.
1:42 he’s in fuckin everything
Fantastic editing and all well picked scenes
Thank you for this. His scene with his dog Sampson broke me.
Absolutely brilliant acting and character creation.
"Nobody was meant to be there." "And that's where we were.... Am I still there?"
An amazing character one of the best I’ll ever see. Jack Huston was close to pursuing a different career before Richard Harrow came along. I really enjoyed Boardwalk Empire but Richard Harrow stole the show. What an amazing performance.
Awesome villain!…. Great performance!…. 💯
One of my favorite characters 💖
A truly human and sad , a man's journey .
Iv never seen this show but this guy is badASS. Im going to watch just because of him
I sit here watching and listening and can't help but to feel pain
Well done! The best character in the show in my opinion.
I havent seen boardwalk empire but I can tell that this character is one of the best of all time and wonderfully presented by the actor
Richard Harrow was so unbelievably complex. One moment, he was a soft hearted, hat-in-hand gentleman who longed to have the normal life of a simple family man. Another moment, he was a stone-cold killer with balls of steel. Hands down favorite character of the series!
