Bodie was such an excellent character. The man who played him did an excellent job, I was sad when he got taken out.
Yeah, he's one of my favorite, too.
The game is the game
Part of the game
Russel Westbrook is the actor,he actually got play at the NBA after the series.
@@masticloxpoker1006 You got me.
The framing of the last shot just reinforces the sense that Bodie is a "pawn" in the game. There is a statue of a King like figure in the foreground, while Bodie sits with McNulty halfway across the metaphorical chess board. Despite how long he has been in the game, he's still at the starting line...
Great comment. Never spotted this.
Oh wow
Spot on observation…spot on!
Nice catch, and looking at it from that point of view its almost like bodie and mcnulty are two pawns from opposite teams facing eachother
Great catch. McNulty is wearing black while Bodie a white-ish color. The whole show starts because White (Barksdale) makes the first move. Both McNulty and Bodie are pawns in a much larger game.
The call back to D’Angelo teaching Bodie about chess is one of favorite moments from this show
@@MonoDdeit’s a show to this very day I can go back and rewatch and find an Easter egg or two
@@MonoDdeyeah no question about it. The wire is the goat and it’s not close
Nah Dee was in the wrong. Giving these hoopleheads hope in thinking they could be a Queen.
Well Dee believed it. Up until Wallace. Then he realized he wanted out because the game is the game.
One of the best conversations in the series… It was at a point the two characters knew why the other acted the way they did! The writers of this show are absolute geniuses.
Amen brother! It's while I'll always appreciate this show over the Sopranos- the Wire was a mastery of writing & storytelling & real life... the way things are- it never took me where I expected or (thought) I wanted it to go, but it always took me where it should go- where it needed to go...
They're both good at their job, and annoyed how other people don't care as much as they do.
I believe the dude who created the show was an ex Baltimore cop.
@@genericsoda4 One was a cop, the other was a Baltimore Sun reporter.
When Bodie said “I feel old” that’s depressing like he’s probably no older than 23 then saying that with no irony . That’s what the streets can do to you
19-20. he was 16 at the beginning.
And marriage too….
@@GenXDesigns chill lol
@@GenXDesigns lol true females are a headache but necessary
@@redman6790 females are God's punishment upon us
He finally understood what D'angelo explained him years before. Maybe even better than D'angelo himself back then. Like someone said before, Bodie's work rate can be a metaphor do the working middle class man. 8 hours per day, never skips, and nothing in the end if something goes totally wrong, so to speak.
This is why I feel the wire is a much more important show than the sopranos and breaking bad.
Many of us can empathize with being an employee who wants to do good work, wants to earn for themselves by producing good work, and wants to be recognized for their dedication and commitment.
but in the end, what gets you promoted, recognized, and more money is being friends with the boss, having connections, or having leverage over someone else, and in this day and age, having no loyalty and jumping from company to company has become the go-to strategy for employees to earn more money for themselves.
It’s all a friggin game smh./
@@steverogers7601 breaking bad is a fun show but can't touch the wire or the sopranos and anyone who says otherwise is insane
yeah, the full circle theme, keeps popping up. The show is the best, but the first season, it was instrumental.
@@johndavey2340 The Wire >>>> Breaking Bad >>> Sopranos
@@gaiterat6187 this is such an embarrassing take
The "I feel old" line reminds me of the "I'm tired Bunk" line by McNulty at the end of season 3. Both exhausted themselves in the name of something they don't fully recognise anymore.
It goes to show how impeccable the writing and character development was on this show when the character who kills Wallace, the innocent boy in way over his head, turns out to be one of the most sympathetic characters who we also feel sad over losing in the end. Bodie was the definition of a soldier. The mutual respect McNulty and him had for one another at this point was palpable. They both saw a bit of themselves in one another; hard-headed, devoted to their respective cause, jaded by their bosses, and willing to put their own principles ahead of their wellbeing or social standing.
yup. you don't even remember that he shot Wallace at the end... def not what I was thinking when Bodie got murdered.
McNaulty looking at Bodie when he says “you’re a soldier”…he has more respect for him then most of the police he works with that aren’t fully committed like him.
He deep down wishes he could have got Bodie to join their side. Imagine how good an undercover bodie would have been?
Probably better than Bubs@@MikeBudalich
And that moment Bodie had more respect for McNulty than any of Marlos and Avon's crew
@@MikeBudalichNah he knows Bodie. He respects him more for who he his. Just like Omar, every man needs a code, and McNulty lives by that more than the whole institution he works for just like Bodie
@@viewmaster617McNulty too. In fact all the cops that come across Bodie that are real respect him too. Remember the pool game?
"I feel old" one of my favourite lines of the show. Bodie was incredible in the Wire.
Thats the same feeling I had in the early 2000s when the game stated to change and the youngin's started to take over and boss the O.G.s around
Poor Bodie man. He has the game and the skills to succeed at almost any legit biz
Bodie was a true solider. When he died it was literally loosing the last of his kind.
He went out like the soldier he was. Even in the face of the most ruthless killers, he didn’t back down.
Bodie the 🐀
true soliders dont snitch
@@bigkahuna3534And that's probably why true soldiers don't become bosses. Ppl up top snitch for less time often
@@kongming66 slim became a boss and he wasn't no snitch like Bodie
Bodie was one of my favorite characters. Smarter than even he gave himself credit for. Someone you really wished could have found a different path in life. I could see myself becoming friends with him.
The Wire is a masterpiece. McNulty is awesome.
It’s a shame the wire hasn’t won that many major awards, if at all.
No Emmy’s, nothing, especially when I’d argue this show is more important than the sopranos and breaking bad.
@@steverogers7601 no awards? * interesting
@@Soda_Pus hasn’t won that many major awards.
It won some awards but The Wire never won an Emmy.
Emmys are pretty major for TV shows.
@steverogers7601 Which is interesting because of how good a show it is. Think of all the HBO Series' that won Emmy's. Now ask yourself how does the Wire matchup with the rest of these shows? Now The fact that it never really won anything?? That ain't even right... TV is very INTERESTING
That garden is probably a mile or 2 from where he spent his whole life. He's never been there cos he's never even left his hood. Lived his whole life on the block
The game is the game. Bodie got the package. Mcnulty got the badge. They’re both soldiers and understand their roles as pawns but both never really move up from their positions. Mcnulty been eating his food listening and relating to Bodie but as soon as he acknowledged Bodie as a fellow soldier, Bodie starts to eat his.
Bodie's up there with Omar as one of the most heartbreaking characters. An overall decent guy born into a rough life. He followed all the "rules", respects people, even more honest "enemy" cops like McNulty. A kid that would have done great things in any other life. Yet at the end of the day he's just an expendable pawn of truly evil people, and he dies in hollow fashion trying to follow the only principles he has even though he knows it's the end for him.
Can't count the amount of scenes that can make your teary eyed
Very arguably the best scene in the show
lol what?
I relate to Bodie so much cuz my life was very similar to his. I'm 29 now and I feel like I'm at the same crossroad in life.
I was 29 until late march man I feel you.
One of the greatest conversations in television history
Bodie symbolizes the struggle of the average blue collar working man. He’s a company man who puts it all on the line everyday but as he puts it: “What comes back?”
Nearly identical to the port workers who sacrifice their bodies every day and can still barely get by
Nailed it
I was thinking the same thing!
Funny how what Bodie is talking about is true not only in the professional world but also in one's personal life. People will readily take your help but will seldom offer it up when you're the one in trouble.
I love this scene so much because much of this dialogue you could reverse the lines (just sub "real police" for "soldier" ) and much would still ring true to the characters.
One of the greatest piece of art in a along time , hopefully get back to this and letting the writers be real and free!!
Show didn’t win a single award Emmy and was only nominated for two writer Emmy’s Insanity criminal unreal
Heartbreaking scene, one of my favourites ever in the wire
Bodie was giving his eulogy
One of the best shows ever! Please make more of this HBO
I commend bodie for this. Dude stood tall when it mattered. Hard to believe nobody just shot Marlo to death.
I like to believe he got got in the end, his final scene indicates his self destructive path
mcnulty understood more then anyone...that quote at the end...he felt that personally
The great shows do set pieces well, but their real strength is in quiet conversations between characters
truly. you can tell whether a story will live on in the minds of those who watched it by how masterfully the simplest of scenes are made: and I quote Every Frame A Painting: two people in a scene talking to each other.
Yeah the silent respect from McNulty. Just listens
The last time Bodie and McNulty had lunch together was juxtaposed besides the scene where Randy gets beat up for snitching. this foreshadowed that Bodie would get got for snitching. In the earlier scene with Randy, Randy even says that he only said what everybody knew anyway. Bodie seemed to intend to do the same.
Bodie didn't get killed for being a snitch, he got killed because he refused to knuckle under Marlow and give up his corner. He died on principle
@@joeyjojoeno the real reason Bodie died was because he was seen with the (police) McNulty. If he wasn’t spotted with the police then who knows what would’ve could’ve happened 🤷🏽♂️
After this moment I like to imagine McNulty dropped Bodie off at an Army recruiting center. All he wanted was to do his job and have someone else have his back.
That would be Bodies best choise, but he was too deep in the game and was in his own way knowing that the game will end soon for him.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who tries to give Bodie an alternate ending. Every time I watch his death I’m wishing it would turn out different if I watch it enough times.
It would be tough to join the army with a record as bodie has been arrested a lot but if he had an officer of law enforcement or an officer of the court (Like a DA) to vouch for him they would allow it.
The respect for Avon lived beyond Marlo's reign.
"i feel old" me too man, me too
Rip to the millions who figured this out a lil too late... in the streets and in the real world
The streets, the ones who got set up or figured out how alone u are even tho ppl swear they gang gang and got ya back even when u held ya part down they showed u how dirty the streets is and remind u to never trust no one even family.
The real world, good ppl regular ppl tryna wrk n climb up only to be stepped on or thrown under the bus by someone u trusted or thought was a friendly co worker all so they can get u out the way or earn that promotion and get a lil closer with a boss or manager.
N to the ones in prison and who died in prison when they got their n found out the streets and gangs only use u, they never have ya back 💯 no matter what u do even if u held it down 100x the girls the bros the love goes so fast once u locked up and truly on ya own n they won't come see u write u or even pick up a phone call.
Preach brother
One of the best scenes in one of the best shows of all time.
Every time I see a clip from the Wire, it is just an immediate reminder how perfect it was/is.
One of the best scenes in the series.
0:00 it looks like there sitting on a giant chessboard ♟️the trees in the back look like they symbolize the pieces
How an earth a show of such is timeless and they didn't live in an era of smart phones.
Right! If they had smartphones, it would've been way more deaths due to self snitching on social media and dropping their own locations.
I love this show and how talented and versatile all the actresses are. I hope we'll get more seasons please 😂❤
The Wire wasn’t appreciated enough didn’t get great rating didn’t major awards they tried to cancel it after season 3 yet it’s one of the greatest shows of all time
This show is so excellent in every phase
Bodie was doomed to always be a senior corner fella for most of his life. He's like Benjamin Ruggiero in that movie about Donnie Brasco. Ruggiero did everything for his people and the mafia and was never recognized, he always maintained the same position without really ascending
'I'm only 19, but my mind is old' - Prodigy, Shook Ones Part II
You're a soldier Bodie
0:41 actually it's 13 years and 4 months.
Underrated comment
This why it’s the best ever. Scenes like this!
The quality 🤩
Bodie was going to snitch under the false pretense that Marlo killed Lil Kevin for no reason . Completely unaware that Lil Kev gave up Lex and ruining Randy life in the process. He was definitely a pawn, never privy of what was actually happening around him. Had he know kev gave up Lex. He never kicks the car door in, Mcnulty never springs him. He never feels compelled to snitch.
When McNulty said Bodie was a soldier I don't think he was complimenting him but telling him that was his place in the game. I don't think Bodie took it that way
Crazy how boadie is a young adult around this time but he “feels old” because he been in the game since he was young and seen the game change so much
The Game is The Game. Always.
Oh, no doubt
Legendary.
Incredible series, between The Wire, The Sopranos, Band of Brothers and Breaking Bad. It's extremely difficult to say which is the best series ever made on TV.
Sopranos and breaking bad are overrated trash shows
@@MrFrankello Lol, try harder next time troll.
@@thegeneral123 yeah whatever bum.
I loved the Sopranos when I was younger but I don’t feel that it’s held up like The Wire has. I do still enjoy all of the shows you named though.
@@thegeneral123 Why would you have to declare one the best when they all do different things well?
McNulty was guilty about his own part in making Bodie's point. You're a pawn, "a soldier", a disposable piece and McNulty was one of the people using Bodie knowing full well what him talking to the police would lead to.
One of the most tender moments in the whole 5 series….
Goats
Loved Bodie by the end.
Pawns?! This is what sealed Marlo fate. The was the best written show in HBO along with Sopranos
The thing that saddens me the most is Bodie died believing D'Angelo had killed himself. He deserved to know the truth about his friend.
Bodie is one smart a** pawn
Bodie asking if they were still in Baltimore broke my heart.
Bodie was the man
got gunned down cause he was about to snitch .
Everyone's hearts ache when Bodie says "I feel old". I, like other people, pointed out that he's really about 20 since he was supposed to be 16 in season 1. On his death notice, it shows he's 26 (I think his real life age) and it appears to be a careless error. Analyzing this scene, maybe it was meant to show he was 26 on paper since that life aged him 5+ years. I like how the creators say that over the seasons was essentially watching Bodie grow up 😭
I always thought it says 20 on the report but the the 0 was badly written so it looks like a 6
@Joel Summerfield Yeah, I believe it said 26 and his actual birthdate was on there. I forgot if it was his real life birthdate or something close.
Update lol: I just went to the clip where McNulty finds out about his death and it does say 26 with the birthdate 2-15-79. His real life bday is like a year before
@@ashkeygii9449 hahaha i'd just gone over to the clip to do same thing before i read this
The irony of Bodie complaining about Marlo is Bodie doesn’t realize Avon was just as brutal and ruthless in his rise to power.
that's not irony.
Avon is definitely the lesser evil when it comes comparing him to Marlo though. Avon had some redeeming qualities, whereas Marlo had none.
@@madgavin7568 Avon had a conscience, Marlo does not
Y’all in the comments hearing soldier but what I hear is that he was willing to tell
And to think I hated this guy after what he did to Wallace. Brilliant show
What he mean by “don’t ask me to live on my knees?”
He'd rather risk death to take down Marlo than be enslaved by him.
"I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees"
TV has never been better than this.
It may never be again....
The best show ever on TV. Only Breaking Bad really comes close.
McNulty se vê no Bodie
Bodie was only 23 and had 10 years in the game.
He was a real one and got taken out like a snitch
you can stand on your code and ethics all you want, but the second someone gets a perceived idea about you you're done.
Bodie would've made am excellent soldier it's a shame. He'd be like a general.
« _Pawns_ »
Ok. Now please school me because isn’t this what bodie was supposed to do. He is snitching on the opposing team/enemy. Why would I not do that. “He said I’m not snitching on my corner or any Barksdales.” I could see if he snitched on Avon and the crew he was with. But I really don’t see the problem with Bodie trying to get Marlo crew locked up. aint that what you want 🤷🏾♂️
When he got jammed up didn’t they get him a lawyer?
Nineteen-Eighty-Four for everyone who survived the 90s.
Comments section be like: "When Bodie took a third bite of his sandwich, it symbolized how the world was taking a bite out of him". Just enjoy the scene. Not everything has to be like your 2nd year film studies essay
“The almost overpowering bright light in the garden represents heaven opening up to young Bodie, McNulty being passively instrumental in his ultimate demise.” 😂
McNulty is now King Charles on "The Crown"...
McNulty is the Bodie of the police
That's one way of looking at it, right.
Bodie was snitching. Him sitting down and having lunch with a cop is considered snitching in “ the game”. No Ni99a doing dirt with you would ever accept that; even if true. I knew Bodie was gone soon after this when it first came out.
Bodie was bout to snitch how is you guys glorifying him being a soldier granted he never messed up before but soon as his back against the wall he was going to snitch like I’m not even hating just speaking
Marlo was gonna fall if bodie had lived i wonder what bodie would have gave them on marlo?
KILLED WALLACE FOR SNITCHING BUT WASNT EVEN SURE HE SNITCHED, BUT U WAS BOUT TO TELL ON MARLO 🤦🏽♂️
True but it was the enemy
@@rasulsamad5860 SNITCHING IS SNITCHING 🤷🏽♂️
It's called character development you simp..
You’re soldier Bodie.
Bodie agreeing to snitch here
At least he died on his feet
McNulty wasn't complimenting him. Soldiers (pawns) are expendable and they die so that the more powerful can gain. The irony is that Bodie took it as a positive. He is starting to realise he is being sold the big lie that he can one day get the benefits from the game if he just "does the right things", but he still doesn't quite understand. He is fooling himself and can't quite bring himself to believe it is all for nothing, and that no matter what he does, those at the top will always want him to stay a pawn (soldier).
McNulty was complimenting Bodie to win his trust. It would have worked had Monk not been watching and reported back to Marlo.
"I ain't no snitch"
*Proceeds to agree to snitch on Marlo"
“Snitching” just feels like a policy that people have established and demonized to keep subordinates and victims complicit.
in this case, bodie did snitch but it was necessary and absolutely warranted. in this case, "snitching" should be categorized differently.
@@steverogers7601 Bodie a snitch

Boldie was being a hypocrite in this scene
What are they eating?
This might sound odd I know, but this kinda parallels to Jesse Pinkman & Hank Schrader coming to terms.
Jesse was a snitch and Bodie agreed to snitch . I see why you make the comparison
