@@BurntPuke82 I loved breaking bad better call saul mad men the wire the sopranos banshee/warrior, I don't mind slow burn shows but deadwood is just so repetitive and takes place in the same location with the most uniteresting plots imaginable, al and the sheriff are literally the same character throughout the show and they get tired with how there's seemingly not much depth to them
It would take a bit more than a tuitioned "class" to use this kind of dialogue in daily social intercourse. A multi-faceted vocabulary is necessary, and this would require years of practice conversing like this with persons of that ilk. Unfortunately, it is rare to hear speeches like this today. I understand your thoughts tho, and think it IS so cool to "insult" others with blistering rubuke, as Wolcott does to Cy at 2:08 and on. Just magical how he literally calls Toliver's skillful attempt at "blackmail & manipulation" ... "a fatuous belief"... or how he states that Hearst already knows "of my inclinations" and lies to Cy saying, Mr Hearst finds them "immaterial"...just brilliant. Tolliver tattles on him to Hearst anyway... What a neat show! I miss it.
Go to Britain, japan or the south of the USA and you will hear such insults, difference is a gesture or a mere word or two will accomplish the same feat. The wordiness of the characters here was normal for the time and culture -- it would be difficult to speak with the same vocabulary today because it would confuse people in most modern cultural contexts. most people would assume you're attempting some sort of parody or going out of your way to be condescending
To be fair Wolcott has a history of killing women...the thing is the threat of Cy knowing his secret causes him to try and clean up any evidence (the girls who have seen him) in order to not embarrass Hearst or let Hearst know what he is.
I don't think Cy bought Wolcott's bullshit about Hearst knowing about his predilections and not caring, as was shown later in the series to not be true.
I 1st saw him in Red Dawn when l was about 5 when it was on vhs. He was a fighter pilot that was shot down but survived and let the wolverines know what was happening . He embodied what a Real Man should be in many ways. He was awesome. But obviously l didnt know him. Great Actor IMO. I felt a lose when l heard he passed. It means were getting older. Im 42 and its getn faster everyday,time that is. Cherish time with who you love. God Bless Everyone. We all need the help in everyway these days. When it seems theres no more good guys. I feel that way these days. We all live in a world of shit these days.
People didn't talk like Shakespeare writes when Shakespeare was alive,- nobody ever did; it's called elevated diction. It is characteristic to plays but here you see it applied to a modern TV show, which is a large part of its genius and originality. Listen to the syllable count and note that most of the dialogue in this show is in Iambic pentameter.
More like he despises Wolcott and wants to embarrass him, but Wolcott realizing that Cy knows his secrets tries to clean up the evidence so cy can't tell Hearst.
Shawni, I haven't seen in couple years but I thought bc Joanie was only one he loved he was proud of her for having own business. Maybe mixed feelings but he let her go. That's love.
If you are just a random youtuber who clicked this video out of boredom, it probably won't make sense. Watch the series from the start and it will make sense and you would love it too.
Powers Boothe was such a fantastic actor.
Nobody was better at playing a nasty dude in the Old West. RIP.
Used his time, slowly counting, to say what was on his mind.
Brilliant writing
Brilliant acting
This series was a masterpiece
Cheers 🍷
In my opinion, Deadwood is the best written show in the history of the TV. It's that fucking good!
if it wasn't for that insipid, whiny overlong theme song.
It's boring as shit, if overly complicated speech filled with forgotten idioms is good writing to you then idk what to say
Sorry you have such bad taste.

@@igorz4582 it's a sad world for those with eyes to look but cannot see
Telling Cy he has overplayed his hand with such emotion... he simultaneously overplays his hand and Cy calmy watches it unfold
_Very allegorical_

I want to learn to speak like this so bad. I’d pay to take a class. The ability to insult someone so politely is a talent all men should have.

Christopher Hitchens could do it...and he proved in many of his TH-cam "debates"...@@ijustgottasaythis

Oh o gotta binge it! Haven’t seen in 3-4 years
It's interesting that the guy who played Wilcox also played Jack McCall in the first season.
Just not the same without Powers Boothe.
For real! He was a necessary evil
This is a shakespearean level show
Yeah it’s Shakespeare just with a lot of profanity
I think Cy just provided the "cliff". In a way, he caused Wolcott to lose it and kill the 3 whores.
Just a thought.
Nope. Hearst bailed him out of a similar jam in Mexico.
Without knowing what he was bailing in out of. Hearst didn't bail in out this time.
Yep. He didn't bail him out this time.

He was just an abusive psycho.
Good deadwood vids - well edited
American Shakespeare, they sure do talk perty on this show.
Cy, the true villain of Deadwood.
_”this is what the daygos call my anger side”_
'Malice' is the word Cy is looking for. It's not surprising that he's not introspective to think of it.
I don't think Cy bought Wolcott's bullshit about Hearst knowing about his predilections and not caring, as was shown later in the series to not be true.
I mean DUH. He clearly expressed as much in this scene. I mean, good job A D *pats head*
my man knows passive aggression when he hears it.

See movie Southern Comfort hes in it and in Tombstone
Just watched the movie which made a great end to the series. Best closing line ever too!
Our Father whom art in Heaven
Let him fucking stay there.
I need Cliff's Notes whenever I watch Deadwood.
Lol that's how good the writing is!
Seriously, I'd love to have the screenplay
Maybe just a dictionary
I still see Curly Bill Brocious lol
I still see Jim Jones lol
Smart assessment
Was this guy in tombstone?
Yes Curly Bill
After a long time that I know this is the same actor played the guy who killed Bill
past surprise Cy?
He was the perfect facilitator for sinners. Most casino and brothel owners take pride in themselves that way.
I didn't realise that Americans in those days spoke like shakespeare or dickens, but still a great show.

Shouldn't Tolliver have made this play before he signed over the titles? Otherwise, it seems like Wolcott would have just had Tolliver killed.
lol Tolliver is such a goof.
lol his scene where Andy Cramed comes back to see him ismy favorite in the whole series..awesome actor Powers was.
Did Cy run him off because he knew he'd go to Joanie's? When she went into business for herself it killed Cy.
More like he despises Wolcott and wants to embarrass him, but Wolcott realizing that Cy knows his secrets tries to clean up the evidence so cy can't tell Hearst.

DW has great English language writing; Rome is superior as a show though ...
RELIC
I can't even understand what the heck they're talking about.

Idk why he didn't clean up his own mess. After all the Chinaman that speaks English coulda got rid of the evidence
