  • The saddest scene of HBO's Boardwalk Empire. The song is About Today by The National. If you have not finished season 2, turn back now and do not return.
    I DO NOT OWN THE VIDEO OR MUSIC, IT IS ONLY BEING USED FOR CREATIVE PURPOSES AND AS A TRIBUTE TO A GREAT SHOW AND BAND.

    No one actually survived the trenches. He was right. My great uncle was in WW1. My grandmother once said,"his body came home alive, but the brother I had died in France" It's why he was so ready to accept it.

      a great example is gefreiter Adolf Hitler of the 16th bavarian reserve regiment. Before Hitler would become a regimental runner he fought in the first battle of Ypres as infantry. His regiment went from 3,600 men to 611 and hitlers own company went from 250 to 42. 16% survived out of his company. And this obviously did great toll on his mental health. This isnt trying to jsutify his actions by reasons of mental health but to rather show how such disturbed inviduals may come to be.

      @@medievalarmorexptert6827 There is wonderful photographic evidence of the change in uncle Ellwood. I have three pictures of him, and my niece a fourth. The first two are official US Army identification pictures. One a graduation from basic picture and the third was taken May 17 1917, entitled "Flowers for Spring" It was taken at the Canonsburg Pennsylvania railroad station. He gifted my grandmother a bouquet of spring flowers he picked himself. They were about as close as a 19 year old and his 6 year old sister could be.Uncle Ellwood was leaving for Quantico Virginia for further training before shipping out overseas from Norfolk Virginia. The fourth picture tells the tale. Taken Aug 29 1920. It's a family portrait. He is standing away from the rest of his family, hollow eyes, distant expression. My grandmother was never able to get the closeness of her brother again. He didn't connect with the family in real meaningful way. He even moved away to eastern Pennsylvania. Ellwood Cushnie Canonsburg Pennsylvania, US Army, April 1917-may 1919 Muese-Argonne offensive, Field Artillery. Also US "bonus army " protestor.

      The only reason he was killed off was because of how difficult the actor was to work with. Notoriously late, hungover, not knowing lines, fought with cast and crew constantly, and just made shooting scenes with him incredibly difficult. Even his agent got rid of him after this. I think the writers did the best they could.

    Jimmy's end where he is back in the trenches of WW1 is quite the contrast to Richard's end where he is welcomed back by his sister. As Jimmy said, he died in the trenches, so he didn't really have anything afterwards. Richard thinks he died in the trenches too, but found a purpose after he came back. Something that gave him worth as a man rather than a killer.

    Just rewatched the show. Such a great scene.
    When you re-watch it you really understand why Nucky did it. Jimmy did nothing but betray his trust from the very start - robbing that shipment near day one, then conspiring with his father and Eli to take over. Then plotting Nuckys assassination… you can’t possibly wipe the slate clean and trust someone like that again.
    Jimmy left him no choice. It would only have been a matter of time before he got greedy again, and forgot who gave him the opportunity.. again. Liability.
    But it’s a sad scene and Jimmy was an amazing character.

      BTW, did you notice the one thing that shows better than anything else that Nucky was a bastard living in a sterile spiritual desert...? He is the only one among the baddies that got the loyalty of no one, something that even gangsters like Al Capone, Luciano and Meyer Lansky didn't have to say of themselves. Capone had the undying loyalty of his two bros and probably of many others, Meyer and Luciano were totally loyal to each other. Even Van Alden and Rossetti had the loyalty of someone until they showed they were crazy killers. Van Alden's second was willing to kill a fed for him. But no one stood for Nucky, no one even loved him, no even liked him, he was hated by his own father and his own brother betrayed him twice and even the people he helped were ready to stab him in the back like Margaret and Jimmy. In the end he had the worst life of all them.

      WW1 is worse than probably any war in history. You aren't dying for glorious conquest, or the honor of battle, you aren't fighting for anything. Nothing tangible, nothing real. The soldier lived and died in those trenches purely because the politicians were too stubborn and prideful to do otherwise.
      Their aristocratic and traditional lens of the world caused the suffering of millions. 12 Battles of the Isonzo, all largely fought exactly the same way, with minimal wins and major losses on both sides.
      Not only that, those same aristocratic fools would ultimately set the stage for the next war 20 years later, causing another round of destruction and trauma. They essentially paved the way for Socialism to hypnotize the minds of the traumatized people. Germany, Italy (more Syndicalist than Socialist), Russia, China, Spain, almost France.
      While Europe has recovered economically, Europe still hasn't recovered socially from the WWs, and they probably wont for another century. They are so traumatized by the horrors the Nazis brought onto them they've completely flipped to do everything the complete opposite of the Nazis, which that in itself causes problems because now Europe has a major issue with Migrants, with the majority of them being good upstanding people thankfully, and is basically broken as a culture. They were too scared to do anything in Yugoslavia and now Ukraine because the trauma from the WWs still linger.
      Ok anyways rant over this is why I disagree with unabomber on that it wasn't the industrial revolution that ruined everything but that WW1 and it's consequences have been a diaster for the human race.

      Rather than a straight adaptation of the much less 'exciting', but IMHO thought provoking, book - the All Quiet done by Netflix seems to take inspiration from a range of sources (I swear some scenes reminded me of Storm of Steel). It makes for a more conventionally striking film, which explores some areas the other adaptations don't, but it also commits the sin of being occasionally exciting - and robs the final scene, and some of the books themes, of their depressing energy.

That’s why jimmy is laughing cuz it’s fitting if another lackey of nucky takes him out aka the original one but in the end it’s the man himself .

Actually Jimmy & Richard were almost the only two made up characters in the show other than all the females & Eli a few other made up side role gangsters but almost all of the mobbsters we're based on real ppl & they didn't even change they're names either other than Nucky's full name but yeah , the two "brothers in arms" definitely give it more of a different added feel & a more intense & interesting one with the soldier turned gangster/mob leader & the other soldier turned thug/assassin that decided join the criminal underworld & become eternal badasses!!!!!!

      I think it didn't matter because Nucky needed Manny more than he needed Jimmy. Jimmy had been disloyal and Nuck only knew the lies Eli told him. I also think this scene shows that Jimmy knew what was coming. The only way it makes sense is Jimmy had a death wish so he didn't bring a weapon, he didn't tell Harrow to post up near the meeting. So partly it was unavoidable business.
