I would assume he would at least think about wacking the dude that not just knew about it, but was the one to bring the issue to his attention. No telling how Al would have shown his gratitude, friend or foe, feel me? Anything could have been made to look like a damn handicap back then. Many families at that time were known to put handicap children who suffered from various disabilities from slightly mild to the most severe, and lock them away in some near, dear, good home, also known as an insane asylum. Lobotomy anyone? No? You will feel better, trust us. Doctors and redheaded orderlies with one-eyed patches would never lie. Okay my bad. Got carried away.

Not saying Al had that same thinking. But given that their entire life revolved around attaining money, power, and respect, they may somehow adapt that way of thinking if they were to spend enough time around such folks. "That boy is slow? That's it!! "We must stop all dealings with him at once, immediately. We look weak I tell you. WEAK got dammit." All about perception back then. Sick fuxxers......
You can tell by the way Capone looked at Jimmy that Al always knew his son was deaf and he would rather present his son as "dumb and dopey" rather than being deaf
Parents can get caught up with their own stuff and not realize what's going on with their kids, .. my best friend, when we first met, I was baby sitting her 6yr old daughter, and noticed she didn't respond to my normal voice, and my daughters would just pull her along, or repeat what I said. She was skates saying huh, huh auntie.... I stood behind her talking in normal and escalating tones till she responded 😢 .... when her mother came to pick her up, she's a Texan with a loud voice, it still took her mom getting louder before she would respond ... I showed her the same thing I did earlier 😢 my friend looked at me and started crying, realizing she was screaming at her baby and her baby couldn't hear her .... took her to the Dr the next day (military Dr, back then we could get immediate appointments) ... her daughter had a degenerative nerve "issue" was almost completely deaf in one ear, and going deaf in the other ... her mom was a single parent in the army and taking night courses, she was so busy she missed the clues because they were gradual
This happened w my sisters cat. After coming home from work, she never knew why the cat never reacted until she would get close, which would startle that cat. Sometimes she’d even get into the shower which is very unusual for a cat. Then someone visiting figured out the cat was deaf
Sometimes you need an opinion from outside the box. People really forget this was 1920-1930's. The mental deficiency was probably diagnosed by a good doctor. Jimmy is a ww1 survivor. He has seen all kinds of injury/disability. Being blind or deaf was extremely common in ww1 because of mustard gas. Jimmy figured it out quick only because of that (he spent 8 months in hospital from a german frag). Capone was too busy building an empire and was never wounded in the war.
@@ethancrowe280 Were you? If he can't confirm it without having been there, how can you deny it while not having been there yourself? Seems a little hypocritical don't you think?
Jimmy been in war man. A lot of dudes went deaf during that time from injury and it makes it real obvious when you have experience that someone just can't hear you.
I was thinking the same exact thing. All those artillery shells guys were probably going deaf left and right. I wouldn't be surprised if Jimmy did that same snap test to a couple of his friends.
But i thought when Jimmy first met Al they talked about the platoons or squads they had served in during the war? Maybe i'm mis remembering but i thought they both had come back from he war.
@@vibeofthee80s_ Yeah, from what I heard. He treated him like royalty after realizing he was wrong, again, I haven’t watched the show, but this is what I saw.
@@vibeofthee80s_ Yeah he did and he was a much better dad after. Honestly, really loved his character for that because you really wouldn't have expected it. I like to think he kept a soft spot for Jimmy because of this moment.
FUN FACTS: Capone's son, Albert Francis Capone changed his last name to Brown in 1966 to distance himself from his father's legacy. Albert was partially deaf,not completely, due to an infection in his ear. Albert lived to be 85 years young. He died in 2004.
The acting is just supreme. That look Al gives, realizing his mistake, the instant regret and deep pain in his relatively cold heart, Jimmy's look of total understanding and sorrow for the man's pain and the child's future.
Jimmy understood it was just a mistake but it was a big one that didn't need to be rubbed in. He had seen plenty of guys treated poorly for going deaf during war so to see it in someone's home must be heartbreaking.
@@smarkmalarkthat's exactly her point. In a silent world with only visual abuse from his father. Pretty lonely to go through developmental years not diagnosed.
@@ozmondyea although the show was loosely based on Al Capone and his son was partially deaf from birth in real life. How do people so confidently say the dumbest shit ever with such determination too make someone else look dumb. I'll never understand it.
My great great father found out my grandma was deaf in one ear when she was three . She wouldn't react when she was called . So he came to her and placed his pocket watch next to each of ther ears and asked her if she could hear the ticking . He was a farmer and it was the 20's, she could just have been yelled at and punished . i'm so glad she had a gentle and smart dad
@@aliciatargaryen Yes . i have. But nowadays beating and abusing children is illegal and condemned by society. Isn t it a big difference ?Now we are also a lot more aware of children s development, proper pedagogy and care. I don t need to go on but being treated poorly as a child was more common in the past and it was seen as a private family matter, which is not the case anymore.
@@aliciatargaryen Also I just pointed out how my uneducated great grand father was kind and smart so i m not sure how i "painted people in the 20's terrible " lol
@@maleg4042 and yet children are still abused, killed by their own parents, abandoned. The laws and advancements we’ve done didn’t change that. Edit: love how you mention your great grandfather was “uneducated” and yet knew better whereas we are “educated” and still has no change.
I agree but also knowing when it is appropriate to show compassion and when it is not appropriate is a skill 99.9 percent of parents have lost and that is why everyone is so rude and disrespectful to each other now.
Capone treated his son like royalty after that. Probably had to do with the guilt of treating your disabled son like he’s some kind of dumbass. Edit: everyone seems to be misunderstanding my comment. I am not calling his son a dumbass, I am saying that all Capone was acting ignorantly because he was genuinely unaware of his son’s disability and treated him lesser for it, but once he realized what he was doing and the extent of the situation, he changed his behavior for the better. As I said to someone in the comments, “I’m literally referencing what happened in the show. I’m not being ‘ignorant’ or making some sort of insensitive statement at all. Capone had a deaf son, he didn’t know he was deaf, but when he and his wife found out he was deaf, they did everything in their power to provide all the specialized education and support needed for a child with that issue. They were good parents and supported their son.” I’m genuinely shocked I have to break this down but some people need an explanation.
@/U/ It's not considered insult 😂 BUT being Undesirable in society 😅😢 No worrys the very same things goes on in many black communities I should know..😑💫
@@lsixty30 Its a proven fact that psychopaths and people with aggression don't just conjure up these feelings for nothing. They go through experiences that nobody looks out for them with and in turn transforms them into better or worse. They have a compassion for animals because they are natural and cannot speak for themselves. You can be the world's biggest jerk and still hate bullies.
That scene in a later season, when Capone is talking to his son, (and he’s completely changed towards him. One he he realizes his poor fathering in not noticing the deafness, he becomes a great father) it almost brought me to tears.
Yea you could tell instantly that the show sucks ass because a whole family taking a fucking decade to realize the kid is deaf is the dumbest thing I've ever heard
After this he treated his son different. In the show two of the most touching and beautiful scenes come from Capone and his son. Capone is worried about his son being too soft. He goes up to his son and is yelling at him to put his hands up! ( like when fighting ) Capone has his hands up in a fighting gesture covering his face and his son reads his lips or just understands to put his hands up bc his dad is doing so but he lifts his hands in a different way just normally lifts his hands. Capone fixes his hands in a fighting position and grabs his head and just looks at him. His son is crying then Capone breaks down and hugs his son and cries with him. It’s years later Capone has a court date. He walks up to his sons room to tell him to listen and take care of his mother. He explains to his son that he did a lot of bad things and he has to pay for his crimes. He lets his son know that all he did was so that his son and his mother could live a better life. Capone gets off the bed to walk away. Capone’s son talks! He says “Dad .. dad..!” Yes he is yelling and he sounds like how some deaf people sound. Capone turns around with tears in his eyes and his son puts up his hands in the fighting position! Letting his dad know to stay strong! I loved those scenes
Um, yeah, Thanks for making me cry!?😢 Trust me when I tell you, you sure can write! Um, so like, yeah, I hope you put that to good use. Writing and getting ppl emotional will make ppl obsessed with you. You're an awesome writer. ❤Keep it up, love.👍
@@mazezace thank you so much!!! I was very good at writing things in high school! I graduated in 2019! I haven’t wrote/typed anything like this since HS. Only thing I’ve typed is the everyday text msg😂. I was worried what I was typing wasn’t going to make any sense. I finished the show a couple of weeks ago so trying to type out those touching, beautiful scenes is very tough. Talking about the scenes from just memory and trying to explain the amazing writing of the show and specifically Capone and his son’s heart touching scenes is very hard. Not even considering my ADHD on top of it all. I’m very happy & SHOCKED you and so many other people liked my comment! Means a lot what you said!!
@@Learn.The.Hardway I had just finished the show couple weeks ago and when I watched this short I instantly thought of those scenes! I was worried what I was typing made no sense because of my ADHD, plus trying to explain these beautiful heart touching scenes isn’t the easiest thing to do either off just memory. But you should watch those scenes! What I typed out is nothing compared to those beautiful, heart touching scenes of Capone and his son.

Still happens, tragically. Worked with a girl who was diagnosed as autistic and nonverbal. She used a simple sheet of pictures to communicate because they believed that was all she was cognitively capable of. She was 17 when they tested her hearing. 17 when her family and caretakers learned she was deaf and capable of learning and understanding sign language...watching her personality rapidly develop as she gained communicative skills was incredible. Tragic they never screened her or considered it before then
@@learningcanbefun628 I think even that approval requirement is insane because of cases like this...what a disservice to do a child to deny them a life of communication a simple test could assist with
Dude that's bizarre...I was positive my kid was on the spectrum (also nonverbal) and they just kept sending us for hearing tests...like hello, she can hear, she responds to sound...can we check something else now??? I'm so glad your friend/coworker was able to discover her full potential!
@@Nystariii Oh, that's so interesting to hear about the opposite side of the issue! Glad they were able to properly test your child but sorry they kept doubling back 😂 How strange!
Intelligent people don't notice also. Deaf children cope with hearing loss fairly well and can be intelligent and normal like when they are vigilant. I know of a boy treated for autism for the first 7 years of his life when his teacher discovered he was 'just deaf'. His parents were a law professor and a physician. As Gump's mother said, "stupid is as stupid does."
My mom used to call me retarded, I didn’t hear her saying it that well until 4 years later when my dad got me to the doctor and had to have surgery releasing fluids trapped behind my ear drums floating around in my head. I can hear her now and choose not too. 😂
When I saw this series back in the day, I thought he knew about his son as well. I think he was all about displaying strength, and he was embarrassed about his son situation. At this point in the show, Capone was like the henchman, and he was treated like the immature kid, always making jokes to his bosses.
It's wild to think that back in the day, u couldn't tell if ur child was Deaf until they were almost 5 years old... the whole time u think he's mentally disabled, until u realize he can't hear... that's gotta be fucked up
I was seven years old before anyone realized that I was severely nearsighted… It wasn’t until my second grade teacher realized other kids could see things across the room that I couldn’t see. Every time I see a little baby with those tiny little eye glasses on, I smile contentedly.❤
I was in 8th grade before I got glasses. I am so bad I can't see anything past my nose but my mom told me as a kid that sitting too close to the TV would ruin my eyes so I was always afraid of telling her that I was blind 😅
It wasn't untill I was in 6th grade that I found out that I was near sighted. Sad thing was I only found out because a teacher bullied me. She would make me sit after her class (which would make me late or even miss my next class) infront of the next class of children, and harass me about my grades, and telling me I was stupid to the point where id break down and cry. Then she would send me on to my next class. Anyway she asked me why I'm always mean mugging her, and I realised she took me squinting, and trying to read the board as me trying to intimidate her. Told her I couldn't see the board, and then she started to harass me about why I don't sit at the front. It wasn't untill a few years later they found out she was bipolar.
This actually happened to my dad - they tried to put him into the special class when he first went to school. Turned out he just couldn’t hear 😩 thank goodness a teacher at his school realized. Now he works on giant commercial HVAC systems. He’s one of the most intelligent people I know.
It shows how little attention we pay to the people around us.. even our own family & friends. If people took genuine interest we’d realize so many things sooner. It’s like most of us are on a kind of self centered autopilot. Even towards the ones we supposedly care about the most… I wonder why
@@RunItUp-r2o and this is why people should not watch TH-cam shorts too much lmao it makes them have a short attention span its in the title "Boardwalk Empire" no offence to you in particular tho
The face of realization and the regret of calling his son those names all in one. The other guy proves it right away and sees it shows how much he really payed attention to his own blood.
@@ms.t3655 Who says he treats him like crap. He provides everything he needs and then some. Capone family lived lavishly they were Rich. Because of him. Alpha's can't be with their kids a lot of time when they are younger. It's only when the kid is older that he can learn from his father. That's why it's up to the mother to take the burden until a child becomes older usually around 10 or 11.
@FixMyPC He called his son a bumbbell, the mother a pig, the wife a mick whatever that is. Idk what type of parenting you believe is good for that type of abuse but ok.
It's not that Capone was stupid it's that every parent prays/wishes/begs that their kid is normal so it's a big shock to find out your kid is deaf/blind/slow or different. But i can tell you that finding out his son is deaf changed him
The thing I remember most about this scene was Al's horror upon realising; not at his own abuse of the kid up to that point, but about how difficult life was going to be for him. It seemed to straight chill him, like it was a terminal diagnosis or something. And then ofc he got over it, & started just supporting him in any way he could, but I'll always remember how his blood ran cold at first.
Al already was aware of his son being deaf, he was putting up a front for Jimmy. In those times you were considered to have weak genes when your offspring turned out disabled. Him looking up at Jimmy was him realizing that Jimmy put the picture together and that Al’s family secret was out.
@TheHamilverse That wasn't how it felt to me, but I guess that's the joy of subtext- it's open to different interpretations, & yours is as valid as mine.
@@mysterylovescompany2657 absolutely didn’t mean to come off as rude, everyone is 100% entitled to their own interpretation. Regardless we can both agree it’s an amazing scene! 😊
@@thehamilverse8433because your explanation makes sense. There's a comment I just read were someone says "Al Capone been living with this kid for HOW LONG, and this guy comes over for dinner ONE NIGHT and figures it out?" It makes sense that Al Capone was lying and trying to hide the fact his kid was deaf, because he saw it as a negative reflection of himself. Ahh the old days.
This reminds me so much of a puppy my brother and his wife had. Cute all white pit Bull. He had him a few weeks and said he’s cute and good tempered, but he’s stupid. Doesn’t even know his own name. Then, proceeded to call the dog “gringo” and no response. I walked up behind gringo and clapped my hands directly behind his head and, no reaction. They didn’t realize he was deaf. Crazy, but they didn’t know. After that they taught him hand signals, what a smart smart dog. Rest in peace Gringo.
@@Firebourn94 yeah now imagine if you just treated your son like an absolute moron and openly insulted him to everybody, with it taking somebody else having to point out that he might just have different needs and isn't stupid. That's what's heartbreaking, not that his son is deaf
I also lost interest to the show until i heard that the actor who played Jimmy was hard to work with. Didnt remember his lines and wasnt really payin attention.
It’s very tragic how many parents find out their kids are deaf by this way. First the loud noise and then you realize he wasn’t ignoring you he never even heard you. And all it took was a pot to fall down.
Michael what’s his face is talented but what I understand he was actually fired from the show because he was such and asshole to work with. A lot of other directors has said the same which is why his not working much anymore
First time I ever saw my father cry was when he found out I was hard of hearing and then he had to sit with all the times he punished me for not listening
I know this is “Hollywoodized” for TV, but I love Al and Jimmy’s relationship. He was one of the very few people Al was actually friends with. He kinda let up his guard with James.
Cuz they both were in the trenches , soldiers understand soldiers . Both had shell shock , that's why capone and Jimmy did what they did . Theu both felt they died in France
This guy played Capone PERFECTLY!!! IF they ever have a movie on Capones professional and home life...a docu movie...he needs to play him. And im buying the tickets.
I think most people are quick to believe that everyone else is just stupider than them instead of having enough empathy & interest to figure out the real reasons for things.
Mother didn't know either? She spent most of her time with him if she knew why not inform the father instead of letting him think he's stupid r something
This happened to me as a kid. I went to 5 different preschools, and they all recommended me to go somewhere else because they thought I "suffered from mental retardation". It wasn't til kindergarten, KINDERGARTEN, that my teacher pointed out that I was hard of hearing. Next thing you know, my mother quits her job because she is told that there is a possibility of me being deaf and she wanted to be with me full time if that were the case. I still vividly remember that day when the doctor pulled about an inch of wax, one line, from my ears. The first thing I remember hearing was a gasp followed by crying from my mother. They put tubes in my ears and I was fine from then on.
We adopted a girl from foster care at 18 months and learned sign language only to learn when she was 3 that she could hear. She was just traumatized into always being silent Edit: By “we”, I meant my family. I was only 11, please don’t give me credit for being a selfless person, that I don’t deserve. She became my sister and we fuss like any other siblings. We even still use ASL to silently swear at each other when our parents aren’t looking and it’s been over 30 years of our “nonsense” as mother puts it. A saint, I am NOT, but I do love that little honey badger😆
@@ladyfame1430 ❤️! This was in the early 90’s. Silver lining: we all learned ASL and one of my best friends as an adult has only one child and she was born with only one ear. She uses a Baja, and is my heart! The universe is funny, sometimes, isn’t it my friend? Many blessings to you and those you hold dear❤️
Your son is the reflection of yourself. If you intend of molding him to become better man and best version of yourself then treat him with such pride and honor. Guide him through life until he can stand on his own, and able to do great things and by that way you have achieved what you haven't done being a Best Father a kid to have.
@@charlesantoine5901 Even the broken and lost can be found and mend. I assumed you no longer a child incapable of changing your fate and pick your own destiny. Might aswell be a better version of yourself, and when you have your own offspring you might aswell treat him better and it might give you justice to yourself that you haven't experienced the joys of it.
This was a great duo. Great chemistry between the two. I miss boardwalk empire. Amazing series. This is the last series to catch me by surprise with its ending. No series since then has made me yell out, “Oh shît!” at the end.
Take the time to know your children. They are a blessing that not everyone is able to endure. Being a parent is a privilege. They need interaction, love, communication (like they are people) not talked down to or yelled at, support and praise. Show them right from wrong ....take time to explain things. You CHOSE to have them so cherish them and help them grow.
Sadly, clapping the hands against a childs ears, also known as "boxing" the ears, caused hearing loss or even deafness in countless children around that time and long before. Hence the term "He gave me sass, so "I boxed" his ears." I can imagine Capone being the kind of violent father that would use such a inhumane punishment/torture.
He actually started soup kitchens during the Great Depression. He should have been a politician. Though has there ever been a defining line between gangsters and politicians? They seem to be one in the same to me.
@@Jessseven-m5d He also was a fairly honorable guy. Cared for his family and friends. Politicians are just gangsters of a different type. The difference between the mob and the government is how powerful they are. The mafia saved a lot of lives and killed way less than the governmemt has... atleast the mafia had the respect to pay for funerals and offer protection to the families of the deceased.
I don't know why this thread has turned into a battle between who's more honorable: politicians or gangsters. Both are corrupt, but this is a show about a gangster so I'm gonna respond on topic. Capone was human, like everyone else. Some monsters absolutely were psychopaths, who enjoyed murder and felt no empathy. I believe Al Capone was hardened, but not a psychopath. However, calling him a "hero", simply because he was a good father, is stretching it. Even moreso after you realize that he only became said good father AFTER learning that his son's condition was medical, and not psychological.
@@Jimmymatthewb I was referring more to the common people he helped, not just his family. Like at the soup kitchens, and the businesses he saved from bankruptcy, as well as keeping lowly gangs and drugs out of Chicago. Irl, he actually always cared very much about his children since they were born. He provided them with everything he could, and there's even a voice recording of him where he says he loves his family.

Sometimes you need an opinion from outside the box. People really forget this was 1920-1930's. The mental deficiency was probably diagnosed by a good doctor. Jimmy is a ww1 survivor. He has seen all kinds of injury/disability. Being blind or deaf was extremely common in ww1 because of mustard gas. Jimmy figured it out quick only because of that (he spent 8 months in hospital from a german frag). Capone was too busy building an empire and was never wounded in the war.
He played the part to perfection, the look on his face when he realises that he's been wrong the whole time.
That man just did something for Capone no one in life ever thought to do.

Jimmy been in war man. A lot of dudes went deaf during that time from injury and it makes it real obvious when you have experience that someone just can't hear you.
I was thinking the same exact thing. All those artillery shells guys were probably going deaf left and right. I wouldn't be surprised if Jimmy did that same snap test to a couple of his friends.
Smart point
lots of children went deaf from scarlet fever. my great aunt was nearly deaf from when she got it as an infant
But i thought when Jimmy first met Al they talked about the platoons or squads they had served in during the war? Maybe i'm mis remembering but i thought they both had come back from he war.
That's the problem with these shorts. I was like "what the hell?" Totally confused by the significance of his snaps.

FUN FACTS: Capone's son, Albert Francis Capone changed his last name to Brown in 1966 to distance himself from his father's legacy. Albert was partially deaf,not completely, due to an infection in his ear. Albert lived to be 85 years young. He died in 2004.

Unnecessary for him to want to distance himself from his dad.
The acting is just supreme. That look Al gives, realizing his mistake, the instant regret and deep pain in his relatively cold heart, Jimmy's look of total understanding and sorrow for the man's pain and the child's future.
I don't know about the rest of the scene but Jimmy also allows Capone to save some face....By not saying something insulting. Excellently acted.
Relatively cold? He's a murderer
Jimmy understood it was just a mistake but it was a big one that didn't need to be rubbed in. He had seen plenty of guys treated poorly for going deaf during war so to see it in someone's home must be heartbreaking.

Compassion and taking time to understand are one hell of a thing
I agree but also knowing when it is appropriate to show compassion and when it is not appropriate is a skill 99.9 percent of parents have lost and that is why everyone is so rude and disrespectful to each other now.
Capone treated his son like royalty after that. Probably had to do with the guilt of treating your disabled son like he’s some kind of dumbass.
Edit: everyone seems to be misunderstanding my comment. I am not calling his son a dumbass, I am saying that all Capone was acting ignorantly because he was genuinely unaware of his son’s disability and treated him lesser for it, but once he realized what he was doing and the extent of the situation, he changed his behavior for the better. As I said to someone in the comments, “I’m literally referencing what happened in the show. I’m not being ‘ignorant’ or making some sort of insensitive statement at all. Capone had a deaf son, he didn’t know he was deaf, but when he and his wife found out he was deaf, they did everything in their power to provide all the specialized education and support needed for a child with that issue. They were good parents and supported their son.” I’m genuinely shocked I have to break this down but some people need an explanation.

Awesome scene.
Its the look he gives Capone!!
After this he treated his son different. In the show two of the most touching and beautiful scenes come from Capone and his son. Capone is worried about his son being too soft. He goes up to his son and is yelling at him to put his hands up! ( like when fighting ) Capone has his hands up in a fighting gesture covering his face and his son reads his lips or just understands to put his hands up bc his dad is doing so but he lifts his hands in a different way just normally lifts his hands. Capone fixes his hands in a fighting position and grabs his head and just looks at him. His son is crying then Capone breaks down and hugs his son and cries with him. It’s years later Capone has a court date. He walks up to his sons room to tell him to listen and take care of his mother. He explains to his son that he did a lot of bad things and he has to pay for his crimes. He lets his son know that all he did was so that his son and his mother could live a better life. Capone gets off the bed to walk away. Capone’s son talks! He says “Dad .. dad..!” Yes he is yelling and he sounds like how some deaf people sound. Capone turns around with tears in his eyes and his son puts up his hands in the fighting position! Letting his dad know to stay strong! I loved those scenes

Still happens, tragically. Worked with a girl who was diagnosed as autistic and nonverbal. She used a simple sheet of pictures to communicate because they believed that was all she was cognitively capable of. She was 17 when they tested her hearing. 17 when her family and caretakers learned she was deaf and capable of learning and understanding sign language...watching her personality rapidly develop as she gained communicative skills was incredible. Tragic they never screened her or considered it before then

@@Nystariii Oh, that's so interesting to hear about the opposite side of the issue! Glad they were able to properly test your child but sorry they kept doubling back 😂 How strange!
How dumb can you be to fail to realize that your son is deaf for years 😅
Intelligent people don't notice also. Deaf children cope with hearing loss fairly well and can be intelligent and normal like when they are vigilant. I know of a boy treated for autism for the first 7 years of his life when his teacher discovered he was 'just deaf'. His parents were a law professor and a physician. As Gump's mother said, "stupid is as stupid does."
It's called not taking an interest in your kids except as trophies.

The my buddy song. 😊
He didn't want to let on because I heard syphilis can lead to becoming deaf
Na, that takes place later. Namely after this point he realizes his son is deaf
When I saw this series back in the day, I thought he knew about his son as well. I think he was all about displaying strength, and he was embarrassed about his son situation. At this point in the show, Capone was like the henchman, and he was treated like the immature kid, always making jokes to his bosses.

I was seven years old before anyone realized that I was severely nearsighted… It wasn’t until my second grade teacher realized other kids could see things across the room that I couldn’t see. Every time I see a little baby with those tiny little eye glasses on, I smile contentedly.❤
Same
My little cousin experienced exactly the same thing. I am surprised that this happens to so many people.
I was in 8th grade before I got glasses. I am so bad I can't see anything past my nose but my mom told me as a kid that sitting too close to the TV would ruin my eyes so I was always afraid of telling her that I was blind 😅
It wasn't untill I was in 6th grade that I found out that I was near sighted. Sad thing was I only found out because a teacher bullied me. She would make me sit after her class (which would make me late or even miss my next class) infront of the next class of children, and harass me about my grades, and telling me I was stupid to the point where id break down and cry. Then she would send me on to my next class. Anyway she asked me why I'm always mean mugging her, and I realised she took me squinting, and trying to read the board as me trying to intimidate her. Told her I couldn't see the board, and then she started to harass me about why I don't sit at the front. It wasn't untill a few years later they found out she was bipolar.
you too huh. boy was I glad I got those glasses
Funny having Capone call people stupid while his brain was rotting from syphilis.
Capones relationship with his son was one of my favorite parts. To see a tender side of the man really made him human.

You can listen to parents and tell that they don't spend time with their children.
Also this is the moment where Capone sacks up and becomes the most loving father in the show.
That's because Capone is out there building an Empire for his son and family to benefit from and live comfortably. You can't do both. Capone is Alpha.

Alpha's can't be with their kids a lot of time when they are younger. It's only when the kid is older that he can learn from his father. That's why it's up to the mother to take the burden until a child becomes older usually around 10 or 11.

The thing I remember most about this scene was Al's horror upon realising; not at his own abuse of the kid up to that point, but about how difficult life was going to be for him. It seemed to straight chill him, like it was a terminal diagnosis or something.
And then ofc he got over it, & started just supporting him in any way he could, but I'll always remember how his blood ran cold at first.
Al already was aware of his son being deaf, he was putting up a front for Jimmy. In those times you were considered to have weak genes when your offspring turned out disabled. Him looking up at Jimmy was him realizing that Jimmy put the picture together and that Al’s family secret was out.

Mother didn't know either? She spent most of her time with him if she knew why not inform the father instead of letting him think he's stupid r something
This happened to me as a kid. I went to 5 different preschools, and they all recommended me to go somewhere else because they thought I "suffered from mental retardation". It wasn't til kindergarten, KINDERGARTEN, that my teacher pointed out that I was hard of hearing. Next thing you know, my mother quits her job because she is told that there is a possibility of me being deaf and she wanted to be with me full time if that were the case. I still vividly remember that day when the doctor pulled about an inch of wax, one line, from my ears. The first thing I remember hearing was a gasp followed by crying from my mother. They put tubes in my ears and I was fine from then on.
What is that called?
@@aro3636 it’s called not cleaning your ears
held back because of ear wax lol
Simply wow..
@@connorwarnock6812 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He snapped and when the father noticed he realized the son is deaf. Praying for them 👍
We adopted a girl from foster care at 18 months and learned sign language only to learn when she was 3 that she could hear. She was just traumatized into always being silent
Edit: By “we”, I meant my family. I was only 11, please don’t give me credit for being a selfless person, that I don’t deserve. She became my sister and we fuss like any other siblings. We even still use ASL to silently swear at each other when our parents aren’t looking and it’s been over 30 years of our “nonsense” as mother puts it. A saint, I am NOT, but I do love that little honey badger😆
Bless your heart! Surprised they didn’t try to diagnose her with autism
@@ladyfame1430 ❤️! This was in the early 90’s. Silver lining: we all learned ASL and one of my best friends as an adult has only one child and she was born with only one ear. She uses a Baja, and is my heart! The universe is funny, sometimes, isn’t it my friend? Many blessings to you and those you hold dear❤️
Awwww...😢 I'm glad she went to a good family 🙏💙
I wish you well and a prosperous life ,I salute you for sharing your life with someone who needs a loving family ❤
Not only are you an example of true love, but your username is top notch👌
Your son is the reflection of yourself. If you intend of molding him to become better man and best version of yourself then treat him with such pride and honor. Guide him through life until he can stand on his own, and able to do great things and by that way you have achieved what you haven't done being a Best Father a kid to have.
I wish..but instead I am broken...
@@charlesantoine5901 Even the broken and lost can be found and mend. I assumed you no longer a child incapable of changing your fate and pick your own destiny. Might aswell be a better version of yourself, and when you have your own offspring you might aswell treat him better and it might give you justice to yourself that you haven't experienced the joys of it.
Communication without a word, the acting is incredible.
Man TH-cam shorts is coming in with some bangers. I've already binged many of the shows it clips on here lol
Board walk empire was one of those shows that was never dry to me even when it was the casting imo for the most part was golden
This show is SO good. Capone's relationship with his son breaks my heart.

This was a great duo. Great chemistry between the two. I miss boardwalk empire. Amazing series. This is the last series to catch me by surprise with its ending. No series since then has made me yell out, “Oh shît!” at the end.
Michael Pitt and Ryan Donowho are criminally underrated
Michael Pitt should have been a Superstar.
@@truthbetold7718 absolutely its incredible, his acting. both of them.. but Pitt's aura is just beaming
@@truthbetold7718 apparently he was difficult to work with.
@@truthbetold7718Nah. He's overrated and arrogant af in really life
Boardwalk Empire was an amazing show. Used to kick back with my old man and watch it. The whole cast did a phenomenal job.
Take the time to know your children. They are a blessing that not everyone is able to endure. Being a parent is a privilege. They need interaction, love, communication (like they are people) not talked down to or yelled at, support and praise. Show them right from wrong ....take time to explain things. You CHOSE to have them so cherish them and help them grow.
I like how he lowers his eyes to Al at the end
Al didn't realise shit right there. He thought Jimmy was fucking with his kid. It wasn't til later he realised
Sadly, clapping the hands against a childs ears, also known as "boxing" the ears, caused hearing loss or even deafness in countless children around that time and long before. Hence the term "He gave me sass, so "I boxed" his ears."
I can imagine Capone being the kind of violent father that would use such a inhumane punishment/torture.
Stephen Graham is one of the best actors in activity and deserves an oscar
:snaps fingers
:capone with the dramatic look.
:"yea like I said,dopey little fuck!"
Screams "sheebbaaasshhaa"!!!!!
Lesson...not learned
Capone was a way better guy than any media potrays him. A hero.
He actually started soup kitchens during the Great Depression. He should have been a politician. Though has there ever been a defining line between gangsters and politicians? They seem to be one in the same to me.
@@Jessseven-m5d He also was a fairly honorable guy. Cared for his family and friends. Politicians are just gangsters of a different type. The difference between the mob and the government is how powerful they are. The mafia saved a lot of lives and killed way less than the governmemt has... atleast the mafia had the respect to pay for funerals and offer protection to the families of the deceased.
I don't know why this thread has turned into a battle between who's more honorable: politicians or gangsters.
Both are corrupt, but this is a show about a gangster so I'm gonna respond on topic.
Capone was human, like everyone else. Some monsters absolutely were psychopaths, who enjoyed murder and felt no empathy. I believe Al Capone was hardened, but not a psychopath.
However, calling him a "hero", simply because he was a good father, is stretching it. Even moreso after you realize that he only became said good father AFTER learning that his son's condition was medical, and not psychological.
@@Jimmymatthewb I was referring more to the common people he helped, not just his family. Like at the soup kitchens, and the businesses he saved from bankruptcy, as well as keeping lowly gangs and drugs out of Chicago.
Irl, he actually always cared very much about his children since they were born. He provided them with everything he could, and there's even a voice recording of him where he says he loves his family.
Same thing happened to me last summer at my aunt's house when i said "that cat is deaf" and the faces of realization were priceless.
The man learned 2 things today!
That was a heartfelt scene. 🙌❤️
Sonny Capone even being deaf in one ear outlived his evil father by quite a few years so, I would say Sonny was very successful in this life.
Stephens' Capone is one of my all-time favorite characters.
At least he couldn't hear the insults, although little ones can feel the energy more than anybody.
Beautifully done.
Men can have full ass convos with zero words, just beautiful
So can women, and children, and even animals moron
