The amount of acting talent between these two is immeasurable
What acting talent? One just stares the camera with poker face and the other belching out gibberish like a pothead.
Where the fok is the foking acting?
@@2HN.
How foking Dare you insult these two gents
Calm down, it's not that good
@@jaserogers997 yeah he exaggerated too much
@@jaserogers997🤦♂️🤦♂️🤡
When you put these two together, you always get something beautiful.
just like batman
@@real-berto9294when bane met scarecrow
It's biblical signature 🎉
Even in inception 🔥🔥🔥
There's a nice touch here, Tommy shows how much he knows about Alfie telling him that he knows he keeps a gun in the drawer (Alfe has been making a show of checking the drawer) later Alfie says intelligence is valuable but it usually comes far too late...then pulls the pistol from the other side of desk, showing Tommy that he doesnt know half as much as he thinks he does.
The bottom line for me is that Alfie could've just shot him and that's the end of Shelby, meaning he's not as "intelligent" but realistic. Yes, he would've had to deal with the consequences but Tommy would've still been dead. Two collosal threats in one room.
I saw a reddit/youtube comment a while back saying Tommy's nosebleed saved his life. It wasn't in the script and was added later by Cilian. Alfie describes his "biblical" form of stigmata where he hammers a nail through an Italian's nose. They were there to discuss an alliance against the Italians. He took the nosebleed as a good omen that they would defeat their enemies.
lol he probably had a second gun on his left just to mess with tommy
I never noticed this detail and have watched this scene at least 5 times, thanks for pointing it out!
@@imemberberry This makes a lot of sense.
Tom Hardy giving a masterclass of charismatic acting.
Cillian Murphy giving a masterclass of subtle acting.
Two of the greatest actors of their generation with loads of chemistry in a perfectly written show.
Gary Oldman can do both
@@antzooma So can the other two. They're all pretty legendary.
@@antzooma yeah you sound silly talking as if neither of these masterful actors can't do both too lol?
@@jaycuthbert245 it's easy to act its hard to do hard labour stop over exaggerating it's just acting there are 100 of takes and shots taken easy up aight you ignorant
@@trashcandy. Hardy rarely shows the ability quite as well. Locke perhaps being an outlier
Alfie was a good character, Tom Hardy nailed this role
He nails most despite him using werid accents
I prefer eva elfie
ah, a man of culture
He nails every role.
@@SPACEHARICE If you notice, his accent is different slightly each scene as Alfie. Just slightly.... and I think it's on purpose. As the character is so unpredictable.
I just love how Alfie was planning to take a long, excruciating talk to make his point but when he realised Tommy's having nosebleeds from obviously recent physical traumas, he relented and cut to the chase a bit. And also throws him a napkin to clean himself
They represent PTSD really well on this show, even Alfie talking about what he did in the trenches feels more like a confession than a brag. Idk if that was the writers intent but that's how it came off to me.
Some guys need to get this shit off their chest and they don't really care who's listening even if it's a total stranger
I assumed the nosebleed signified his blood pressure spiking, and Alfie cut him the slack for not flinching. Some people can really walk the line between aggression and respect
@@Batchall_Accepted Hammering a large nail into someones nose with a duck board does not strike me as the act of a regular solider, so I'm not sure it would be PTSD inducing....
@@vtrmcs Can you imagine being in those tranches for years? You probably would explode if you were face to face with the enemy.
@@vtrmcs
Those guys had a lot going on. I could see if shooting the enemy might get unsatisfying.
The scenes between Tommy and Alfie are scenes that have a place among the best scenes in television and cinema. 2 of the best actors of their generation.
Damn, Solomons might just be the scariest and most intimidating character in the entire show, which is saying something lmao. He's perpetually seething and murderous just under the surface, but is also clever as all hell, calculated and charismatic. Deadly mixture.
Agreed.
Tommy couldn't kill Alfie he was king of the Jews?
"I'm sorry Go on, tell us your plan" is gold
Like a sweet grandma humoring a grandchild
i love the gold ring
Yew fakin betrayed him m8
Perfect acting and so much tension. Oh god i miss them all.
One of the best additions to the cast. Tom Hardy absolutely nailed that role.
love the way Alfie sit down and put Tommy's ego on the floor in 3 seconds
There's always something of the old air of mischief about Alfie around Tommy. He always seems to have just enough awe for Tommy to take the piss out of him a little bit, but he's a sensible and useful enough businessman that Tommy respects him enough to tolerate his cheekiness. This show has great character dynamics.
"and the bullet goes bone, mush, bone, cabinet-"
chills
What you are seeing here is an absolute masterclass.
It really doesn't get better than this.
Trying to watch this show without subtitles always humbles me
lol
My daughter says the same
It’s funny because I worked in construction in NYC and ran a bunch of work for Irish immigrant companies
I can understand everything they say
That's funny because there's not a lick of a Irish accent in this clip, not 1%
I do love americans and there's weird celtophilia, not sure actual Irish do though.
@@JCS1964-i7w
I love how Solomons throws Tom a cloth when his nose starts bleeding
Indeed a man of honor
And Tommy just acts as though it doesn’t exist lol
its a handkerchief nub
Solomon: Pulls out gun in anger. *angwy*
Tommy: Literally pops a vein and starts bleedin'.
Solomon*Fawk m8 thats way more pissed of than i expected*.
@@GGGmod1 Your transcript of Alfies thoughts is spot on. And fookin hilarious because of that.
I love cillian Murphy and his portrayal of Thomas Shelby.
That being said, the fact that Tom Hardys Alfie steals every scene he is in from Him says so much about how well written and acted Alfies character is.
Alfie is probably the best non main character of any show or movie ever written. I cant remember being so fascinated about a character and his performance before.
Tombstone
Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday
He should have won an academy award for best supporting actor that year
making me want to rewatch the whole series
sameeee
Just watched the whole series for the 1st time. I'm so glad I didn't have to so many years for it to end
TBH I didn't really understand the last season. So ya, I'm with you mate. Time to rewatch this beauty.
I love the fact that the way Tommy and Alfie do business are the same way they did there jobs in the war.
Tommy: being a Sergeant Major in a Tunnelling Company was smart, sneaky with laid out plans which normally ends in explosive ways
Alfie: being a veteran who was fighting in the trenches was ruthless, violent, dominate, unpredictable but intelligent
never thought about that, but holy shit that's spot on. Awesome.
Didnt alfie outrank tommy?
@@tayvinw it was when cangeretta had came in to his business. He asked his men if alfie fought in the war and one of the men said he was a leutenant or a captain i think
@@helpoj was he commissioned from the ranks?
It’s implied his mother was a refugee and as a gangster he probably would have started our poor and worked his way up.
i think Tunneling was always harder, at least with trenches you have a noman's land between you and your enemy. While with tunneling you are literally closer to enemy than your comrades.
The two best actors of said generation.
Amazing scene but the grenade negations scene later is their best one together imo
It was a great scene but a bit poor regarding accuracy. The grenade was no risk and Alfie being a WW1 vet would have known that. It was on a trip wire - meaning he could have just shot Tommy and taken the wire off. it can't go off until the fly-off lever is released. So you can literally pick it up and tape the handle back down, even with the pin gone. The guy was outside the front door and wouldn't have seen a thing.
@@OngoGablogian185 well we dont know where the tripwire is and he game them a limiyed time to decide after which they would have pulled it anyways.
@@darthchilde8880 of course you know where the wire is - it's tied to the grenade. The point was that the guy outside pulls on the wire, which pulls the fly-off lever and the grenade detonates. The fact that they don't have much time means that it's all the more likely in real life that he'd just shoot Tommy and walk straight over to the grenade. Thankfully, he doesn't obviously want to kill him as that would kinda ruin the story.
@@OngoGablogian185 did tommy reveal where the grenade was?
@@darthchilde8880 Yes. He literally said he placed it behind a whisky barrel when he was tying his shoe. Alfie's assistant also confirmed it. It was a bluff - but the point is, it didn't make sense.
Two masters of the craft showing why they are considered so
Those two together are an incredible combo
The more I see of Tom Hardy the more I like them
Alfie and Tommy are best friends they'll just never admit it
I could leave of a show made with this two, the sheer amount of talent is amazing.
2 of the best actors in this era. True genuises
You can feel the energy of this scene so much. Both actors put everything into the scenes they were in which helps make this series go down as one of the best in history. Without the perfect casting and effort they all put in it could have been so much worse than it was. They sold it so well I was constantly blown away with the talent and the writers ability to constantly surprise me and keep me gripped. It’s such a beautiful thing to have experienced. It must also be hard to avoid the temptation of dragging it out and ruining the story with the idea of making more money but they focused on the art instead of being greedy and it shows. This is a timeless work of art.
British actors are very cool. Hardy is the most unique among British actors. He is neither better nor worse. He's just different. Another level of acting. Tom is an artist, craftsman, creator. He is not playing a character. He creates it. He captivates you every socond while he is in the frame. I adore you ❤
“Bone mush bone cabinet,” is still my favourite line in this show.
Fuckin biblical
Tommy been threatened at gunpoint so many times he don’t mind it anymore it’s like “just another day same old same ol” 🤣🤣
"The truth is, we died together once before. Arthur, me… Danny Whizz-Bang, Freddie Thorne, Jeremiah, and John. We were cut off from the retreat, no bullets left, waiting for the Prussian cavalry to come, and to finish us off. And while we waited, Jeremiah said we should sing “In The Bleak Midwinter”. But we were spared; the enemy never came. And we all agreed that everything after that was extra. And when our time came, we would all remember."
He was fearless, because he considered himself already dead and living "extra".
Pretty sure the point of the bloody nose was to show that he was indeed feeling fear aka raised blood pressure bursting a weak blood vessel from his injuries. he just has a really good poker face.
That's just how Alfie says hello to people.
That's an unreal scene to watch again. Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy and Sam Neill in the same series was just too good to be true.
The acting in this scene is pure art. If you’re a fan of tv and cinema you can’t possibly hate on this. Two powerhouse actors bouncing off each other perfectly. No one steals the others shine only elevates one another. Perfectly done and the fact it was in a tv series and not a blockbuster movie shows to me how much the actors saw how good it would be. They could do a movie and earn a lot more money easily but they chose to be a part of this masterpiece. It wouldn’t be the same if they weren’t a part of it and I love that they did it for us fans. True respectable artists ❤
Two of the finest actors alive!
My favourite character Alfie brilliant absolutely brilliant ❤️
After all the menacing…”go ahead, tell us your plan” brilliant
The fact that TV got blessed with a show that had these 2 generational talents in it is amazing.... seriously when will there ever be a show will 2 juggernaut actors such as these 2 going at it
Tom Hardy ate this role up! We need more Alfie! At least a 3 part series, " The wandering Jew ". As for Cillian....Brilliant!
AWTHUR! SHALOM!
Charisma and subtlety. Antithesises becoming entangled with one another. Like magnets attracting eachother.
Well then that's not like magnets, is it. What an awful simile.
The strangest thing about this scene is that Alfie says he performed the form of stigmata on an Italian, however the Italians were on the Allied side during WW1, which would lead to believe that he was fighting for the Central Powers under Austria/Hungary... Unless it was an Italian who ended up on a different side than Italy, but I don't think it's ever explicitly mentioned which side Alfie actually fought for
Well Alfie’s also an unhinged criminal, so who’s to say he didn’t kill an Italian soldier for the sake of killing him, you know?
@@arthurthedragon1012 also completely plausible and defo fits his character,
however there would need to be a rando Italian there, as Italians would've been fighting in the Alps, (Some of the worst fighting of the war there tbh, people starting avalanches to bury the enemy) whereas the UK didn't touch that theater and were mostly along the French/Belgian corridor, could be an oversight but the showrunners were excellent at covering the history, so I'm doubtful
I do think Alfie's hardened attitude and slight unhingedness could even be attributed to what he saw in the Alps, if it is the case
The Italians were initially on the side of the Central Powers, but the Triple Entente promised them parts of Austria-Hungary that they desired and had claims to, so they switched sides. Part of way the meme for Italians always backstabbing comes from. The other half, of course, being the Italian surrender in 1943 and turning against the Germans (Somewhat)
@@jonathanweaver5310 Yes... This is exactly my point, they were on the ALLIED side, Britain was also on the ALLIED side, hence Alfie would have to be fighting for the Central powers to fight an Italian.
They never joined the war under the Central powers, nor fought the allies at any point, the treaty was with Germany and it was purely defensive, hence why the Italians never joined. It came down to disputes over regions in the Trent Valley which the allies were willing to concede (Which the Italians were upset about after the war, as they felt they earned more from the brutal stalemate in the alps, hence the shift to facism and subsequent switch of sides again, which adds to the meme)
Correct me if I'm wrong, didn't Italy have an alliance with the allies that was purely defensive, until they were attacked by Austria Hungary, drawing them into the conflict, which resulted in allied victory and their renigging on the deal resulting in the creation of Yugoslavia and the Italians at the treaty of Versailles calling their involvement the "mutilated victory" hence fourth their decision to join the Axis in WW2 Because of this betrayal!?
Tom Hardy is continually an amazement. He can either be in the shittest thing I’ve ever seen, or pull of some of the most amazing, incredibly acted characters. Alfie Solomons was one of those incredible moments.
According to polls in 2021 of British viewers, Tom is recognized as the best British male actor of the 21st CENTURY. Second place Connery, third Hopkins, fourth Firth, fifth Craig. I don’t remember further. only ten places. All information is on Google.🔥✌️
Cillian Murphy could simply not withstand how ridiculously good Tom Hardy, and himself are, and he bled internally.
Accurate
Always love when these two are on screen in PB! Hope they get a scene or two together in the film 🤞
what film?

The build up of intensity in this scene is impeccable

Bane & Scarecrow are in the same screen once again.
Yeah, didn't realise till you mentioned it :)
I forgot about that
so are Robert Fischer & Eames
.
The Acting and Character Development in this series is amazing .
" Write that down . "
.
Hear they talking to each other make this so satisfying
Great scene, one of many through the series.
I've only just realised that given how Alfie talks about performing Stigmata up the nose of an Italian man, then threatening Tommy with pulling the trigger... Tommy gets a nosebleed. Immediatly, Alfie finds this event as a sign of God.
The only reason Alfie accepted to work with the Peakys: religious belief.
Personally I think it was a way to bring Sabini to negotiate his bookies into the stadium, he did it to scare Sabini to him
This is the coolest take
When this series started I couldn’t imagine them making it any better but then they go and add Tom hardy as such a perfect character. I used to think breaking bad was the best series out there but this blew it out the water for me. Perfect casting, story and cinematography throughout 👏
Loved every scene with these 2 together
I rewatch this series for these scenes, these two.
Cillian's accent is great
Brummie all right.

Every movies Tom Hardy are in, he put on different faces and Accents!
Yes👍👍👍👍🔥✌️💣
This show is Sooo good.
Rule of Thumb: If Tom Hardy's playing the character, you better go look for subtitles.
Я не знаю английский. Я просто слушаю голос Харди, его интонации, эмоции. И всё ❤
Really haha
Alfie Solomons - Tom Hardy cracking part and actor
I don't know what to say but Tom is a highly versatile actor...he is just perfect and Cillian is the same.
I'm sure, as you are an acting expert and critic on acting that Tom really appreciates your words.
@@VinnyCarwash-js8opviewers are literally the people that determine whether the acting is good or not
love the way he says “the fackin telegram jus said “hello” it’s very simple” 😂
My new line
"you crossed the line" scene is as great
*Tom Hardy* and *Cillian Murphy* !
Tom hardy did some of the best acting ever seen
I love Tom Hardy . Anyone. Good, evil, in a suit, in sportswear, beautiful, ugly, thin, fat, cheerful, sad. Anyone. Tom is my love forever. The most beloved British actor. There are one German and two Americans among the favorites. But Tom comes first. Always.🥰🔥👍
I think it was Tom Hardy's birthday and some site had asked people to list their favorite Tom Hardy roles. Number one varied greatly but number two was always Alfie.
Number 1 for me is Locke. Idk why but I always get so sucked into his character in that movie and empathize deeply with what he’s going through
@@Aries816 Which movie? I wanna check it out, if only for his acting.
@@peggedyourdad9560 The movie is called Locke. It’s just Tom Hardy driving with no other on screen characters and it might be my favorite movie of all time lol it might still be on Netflix
@@Aries816 Nice, I’ll have to check it out.
The Take!!!
Alfie Solomons is one of my favorite gangster characters. This scene is right up there with the Chris Walken-Dennis Hopper scene in “True Romance.”
THE BEST OF PEAKY BLINDERS♥️👑.
GOAT ♑ 🐐
I love Alfie
Peaky Blinder must be one of the strongest shows ever made in this consumerism shit hole of movie making we live in. Im happy there's still triple AAA titles that manage to catch the deepness of a masterful indie
I think Cillian is one of the best ever but Tom Hardy makes me glad to be alive at the same time he is. Every role. oh man a total genius.
Only thing that beats this is when De Niro and Pacino are together. Two world class actors at the top of their game
Best show ever
These two are not only amazing actors, but they are such incredible actors that their American voices sound like them and their native British accents feel like their actor voices to my brain (granted I'm Canadian so I don't really have an amazing ear for British accents, despite the whole monarchy and such LOL)....
Really don't think there's any two scene partners who can beat the chemistry of these two. The long pauses let you feel the tension so thick you can cut it with a knife.

0:25 i absolutley love this line for some reason. its fokin biblical m8
Acting skills at its peak.
Trust me rudeboy lucky boro fc liveforever by order of the peaky blinders 🎉
Alfie is one of my top 3 favorite characters in the show. He's the best possible assembly of ruthlessness, brilliance and literal insanity. He's maybe Tom Hardy's best work?
felt like i stopped breathing so i wouldnt miss anything. brilliant
Yes indeed , tom hardy is a great character , Alfie Solomons nailed that role
the face change after ‘tell us your plan’ lmao
I forgot they were acting.❤ I thought there is a place deep inside each man that owns this space.
Yea it iz was fookin' amazing acting from both of those fooking actors
2:57 the burst vessel in his eye was a great touch
This is the one show I would rewatch more than once🔥🔥🔥🔥
then do it
this and the other scene when he tells alfie he planted a bomb in his distillery are in the top 10 PB moments for sure
Fabulous actors and series 🤗
Holy crap, I didn’t know Hardy was in that show.
yeah
The way Cillian can make his nose bleed on cue is nothing short of bleeding good acting.
the legend
When Thomas Shelby said "It's Shelbing time!" And Shelbed up all the bad guys! Bravo Vince!
Vince looool

Insane acting!❤
This is a masterclass for actors
Did anyone else notice when Alfie was talking about how he carried out his own form of stigmata on an Italian in a trench? The Italians were not enemies with the British so how was alfie in a trench killing this Italian guy ?
I wanna be Abored and I concur lucky boro fc liveforever 🎉
The fact that Tommy had a nose bleed means that he was genuinely fearing his life. One of the only times you will see him fear death
He was injured earlier in the episode, hence the bloodshot eye.
@@vinnie245 I interpreted it as the stress level due to fear of death causing the nose blood
@@geriott609 The injury and stress together caused the nosebleed. You can be fearing on the inside yet show poker face on the outside but due to the injury, the elevated stress caused Tommy's nose to leak which gave away some of his power in front of Alfie.
blood pressure through the roof.
I remember skimming a comment many years ago. Paraphrasing this by the way.
"If the English language had a difficulty setting, Tom Hardy would be Hard Mode."
Even as a brit myself, Tom Hardy really hammers it in with his accents in his rolls. 10/10. Would nail an italian's nose through in the trenches with him again.
Alfie at the top of his game on this scene
I love this scene! I can watch “Peaky Blinders” over & over again!! Alfie & Tommy was made in hell to meet lol
Damn this was such an awesome show, and I haven't even finished it all yet! The script, dialogue and acting are 2nd to none!!! Damn what a time to be alive
