A classic time less film that never gets old no matter how many times it’s watched. Bob Hoskins was a one in a million fantastic actor who always played the hard, thug, type of a guy, but in real life was a true gentleman
Hoskins was one of THE best. I was first introduced to him when he played Iago opposite of Anthony Hopkins in Othello. We watched this film in High School back in the early 80s.
@@jeremymerrifield7244Mona Lisa is another fantastic classic film. Robbie Coltrane was in that film also, who in my opinion was another good actor and tv star. Michael Cain (Not a lot of people know that..!!!!!) played a great baddie in Mona Lisa too
My favourite gangland movie of all time, incredible acting, fantastic script that delivered on all fronts, the story line fits perfectly the redevelopment of docklands and regeneration of the river after years of neglect,a follow up movie could never have captured the power of the first movie as Harold Shand had been driven away for the final time and wouldn't be able to return to his beloved London.
I fully agree, but I can't help but underline the importance of music in this movie; it is incredibly explanatory of the protagonists' thoughts and feelings. By the way, given my terrible English (I'm Italian), I'm surprised by your use of such a long sentence. My English teacher always told me to use short and simple sentences, in order to avoid the longer ones typical of the Italian language 😊
Hello to you my Italian friend,the music score for the movie was also excellent, the dramatic scenes accompanied by powerful emotional music brought us even more into Harold Shands unstable world and violence,I believe that he was a business man first,true Londoner and gangland became apart of his life because of the people around him,I had the opportunity to meet the man himself on a movie location in the UK few years later and got him to sign a photo still that was taken aboard the boat on the River Thames during filming of The long good Friday, Bob was a real down to earth guy and very easy to talk with, sadly no longer with us and greatly missed 👍
That shows you that your English teacher was not always a reliable guide .English like German ,French and as you say, Italian can carry many subordinate clauses ,think of Proust's "Remberance of Lost Time" for example ,carrying many thoughts which have to be weighed against one another, Maybe some people like writing in short sentences but others prefer long langorous sentences which go on and on because they resemble life which suddenly comes to an end.@@naufrago5369

Bob Hoskins was Brian Depalma's standby choice to play Capone in the untouchables if Deniro refused...and got paid for it "Linda [ Hoskins' wife ] and me are sitting out having breakfast one morning, and Linda's opening the mail. She said, 'Oh, what's this ?' It was a cheque for $200,000. It said, 'Thanks for your time. Love, Brian.' I phoned him up, and I said, 'Brian, listen, you got any films you don't want me to be in, babe, I'm there for you any day !'"
To deal with his Irish problem Harold Shand should have spoken to Charlie and he could of had a sit down with the IRA and sorted out Harold's Irish problem
That's the problem when certain people convince themselves they're invincible, there's always someone somewhere who's even more powerful. Shand basically murdered himself and his moll which he could have prevented had he called a truce after handing over the money, but no...his ego and pride prevailed over common sense 🙄
His reputation would be done for though. He was the king of London underworld. He's had his firm decimated, his deal with the yanks hanging on a thread... Plus the IRA would have long memories, he was likely a dead man either way, but decided to go down swinging
@@wyverntheterrible He misjudged and underestimated the Irish by a million miles. He also proved he couldn't cut the mustard trying to be a legit businessman, and he should have chosen some of his men more carefully too. Nevermind, it's far too late to worry about him now 😮💨
@@TheVidkid67 well that's his character isn't it. He's a bit of yesterday's man but doesn't realise it. Why he thinks the mafia with their lawyers are soft...
@@wyverntheterrible Exactly. Charlie even advised him to stop living in the past at one point. I'm glad Bob Hoskins managed to change the script and aspects of the plot. Helen Mirren's character was originally going to be a lot weaker and more working class. Even the bottle scene was added later because instead Harold was supposed to chop his head off with one of the sabers that's hanging on his yacht wall, personally I don't think that would have worked too well. The theater version had some slightly different lines too. For example at the swimming pool he mentions having to hump a great big wireless through the snow. In the other version he says it's a great big bazooka. Also on the yacht he says 'These French geezers don't arf know their grub!' In the theater version he says 'These Frogs don't arf know their grub!' I'd love to find that version again. I found it on RUclips about 7-8 years ago by accident even with the X rating at the start. I foolishly neglected to download it. It's long gone now though 😒 I reviewed it on my channel around the time I found the rare version ☺
Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren were both wonderful beyond belief in this - such an incredibly good film with so many good character actors and such terrifyingly brutal scenes. Yet I never felt any of the brutality was over done or unnecessary - it was the reality of the situation. It's an unforgettable film.
I always loved Bryan Marshall, he would pop up in The Sweeney playing the same lovable smooth rogue and I reckon his character in that show deserved his own spin off series with Regan & Carter making cameos. Clearly things too far gone for a trip to Casualty to help much.
Question for those who know more about Ireland of the time: Would an IRA commander have been doing stuff like the car racing? It just seems like a very random location and indeed a very public one, for people who were cagey (and very successful) guerilla fighters. Strange thing to ask, but it's odd to see an IRA man in some strange 1970s futuristic bubble car!
Probably not. Back then they’d be a bit too Catholic . Conservative , tweed jackets , smoking a pipe , half thinking about being a bit socialist …growing beards …Gerry Adams cough cough or more prominently actual socialists led by the Cathal Goulding faction . Cathal wouldn’t be into the petty bourgeois lifestyle . (Official IRA aka Stickies upon the split ) They were certainly not as charismatic or show off like that . Frankly, there is so much coming out now about prominent members of the Ra being tours and informants … questions too about how certain men, who were very public about who they were rarely got arrested for long . Eg Martin McGuinness. He and Sean McStiofan (first head of Provisional Sinn Fein and Provisional IRA - English born and a former RAF man ! ) openly met journalists and camera between 1969-1972 . Well, the former had seen jail time so he couldn’t deny who he was. Some battalion commanders were busy smuggling diesel , money laundering etc eg Plenty of members fancied letting people know who they were in their community hence why the British were so so so good at infiltrating them. The IRA forgot the lessons of 1920s . The British most certainly learned there’s . During the 1970s there were so many feuds between the Provos , Stickies and the INLA , there was a much better chance of a commander getting shot by one of their own or from the other faction than been shot by Unionists (no chance ) or shot - arrested by the RUC or British Army . They had to keep a low profile
@@gavintuesday4959 Pretty good synopsis. The top dogs running the IRA kept a low profile and left the publicity to others. Regarding Brit Int on the paramilitaries, your point is underlined by the 'rogues galleries' on display in Ops rooms across the province and the photo cards issued to troops.
What about a prequel set in 60s? Harolds rise to power. Billiard halls, old Sammie. National service with Colin. How Razors got his scars,how Harold met Vic. So many characters and material to work with.
@@CycolacFan Well that's some almighty "imagination" you posses if you can think up not one but a number of sequels. I'll remind you of the ending of the film because I'm extremely confident you've either forgot it or never even seen the film. Harold Shand and his entire "firm" including his missus got wiped out in less than a single day by a political organisation who the British Army couldn't stop nor take down..... So, just give me scenario of a sequel ?
@@mooncat.787 three seconds worth of research… 🙄🙄 ‘Barrie Keeffe wrote a sequel, Black Easter Monday, set 20 years after the events of the first film. It opened with Bob Hoskins's character; Harold Shand, escaping from the IRA after the car was pulled over by police. Shand would retire to Jamaica, then return to stop the East End being taken over by the Yardies.’ Three seconds…
I found this sequence confusing. I thought the first Irish guy, the one having a meal, is the same one who's driving the car in the final scene. But it can't be because he gets shot. So who is it?
Harringay. Now a Tesco and retail park on Green Lanes. They didn't have much stock car racing at Walthamstow. Or speedway for that matter. I'm pretty sure it had stopped by the time this was filmed in 1979.
