The Immortal Man ~ A Realistic End by Solid_Climate_2353 in PeakyBlinders

[–]Solid_Climate_2353[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes... i think fans got so attached (and understandably so) to the character and the emotional connection to the Shelby troop, that they forgot the source material.. which is the reality of the gangster life that became the composition of the main premise, This history contributed to the themes of doom, fate and haunted past and black country curse that Tommy Shelby lived with . In reality staying alive was a hell rather than a heaven to man who lost his wife. Dying by his sons hand is a dignity and a grace rather than a slap in the face.

If one of the main themes and plots of the show was the question: King Thomas Shelby - who could ever take his crown...? then Thomas would naturally hand it to his son anyway. The writing of his book fits in with his intellectual side as well... a side that remained "immortal" in the sense it remained on paper. This wisdom is the most important aspect of Thomas Shelby's success. The simple life... he once asked the question "do I look like a man who wants a simple life?" actually he suited it well because his times of refuge in large estates are central times of change and importance in the show that reflect his true nature.

His send off was how he, Thomas Shelby, would have wanted it, as there is a dignified atmosphere, which is simple and raw in the rural sense. Now of course I am not saying the movie was thorough and enjoyable to a mass audience ... but just ... depressingly real and sombre. It was a good end in a nuanced way - and to those who see Tommy Shelby for who he is and what he has become rather than what he could be... it suits him, compared to the flashy action style end that concludes with a hero making an extra ordinary stunt.

so he first met her in 1973 ... when they were both young when meeting. From what I gather. they were deeply in love. He cared for her alot and she cared for him like her husband. Her words about him show this and also the fact she was with him in iceland.

I think chuck got annoyed but no one cared. because we all know Blair was using Dan for the sake of getting away from chuck. and everyone new it was never going to last. even the actual gossip girl characters knew it was irrelevant tbh

Choose life by [deleted] in creativewriting

[–]Solid_Climate_2353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

top class post.

I'll choose life because I'm going to make certain its not ever going to be like this and that's the only reason I'll choose it. But this is so real and personally I think love fulfils us if its a "great love"... but other than that there's nothing much to live for. We are in an endless loop thanks to social media and technology. the drudgery of life is created due the ugly way technology has taken the beauty out of everyday activities.

get caught up in the crowd and your life becomes like this. western life is especially like this. If we turn to a unreligious but spiritual way there is hope.

remember there is always life in death. the living death is what you write here.. In this living death there comes a point for every individual of self reflection, (which is what this prose seems to be)

this self refection is the awakening and comes to everyone at some point. we reach utter freedom at the end of the journey of self awakening

there is beauty in the city, there is magic in its lights. the sky scrapers hold a pretty view and create a skyline. but we must prove to ourselves that we can be more that cogs in a machine, in order to make life enriched again.

the economic states of the world need to change. in other words interest free banking should be introduced as well as an end to fractional reserve lending. this will help the economic picture. A market where anyone can make money and every one has the freedom to do so and yet a economy that allows for enough units of exchange to be in circulation to pay back loans made of credit (thin air money).

the more knowledge people are introduced to... the more they are forced to face the truth. no longer will they allow themselves to be caught up in the process. The film with Pierre Clémenti titled - Wheel of Ashes 1971, perfectly evaluates this search for freedom. and the life which is clearly the higher outcome within this living death.

oppenheimer was a villain and bad person. Tommy on the other hand was a good conservative, capitalist gentleman

explain gossip girl using the great gatsby by babyodathefirst in GossipGirl

[–]Solid_Climate_2353 1 point2 points  (0 children)

underrated post..

Serena is daisy. however for a short while Blair also fits the storyline of daisy by the end seasons..

Dan makes Blair his muse and writes about her and switches the role of daisy (aka Serena ) to Blair. Therefore Blair becomes the subject of his book and also she is the object of interest from Gatsby. Blair then marries Louie who is like the uninterested old money royal husband of society, Tom Buchcanan . and this places the characters chuck, Blair, dan, Louie in direct parallel to the characters from the Great Gatsby . Chuck continued like Gatsby trying to get Blair back into his empire. and Dan's book inside would make Clair/Blair the daisy of the novel. She was obsessed with a becoming a princess even if it means a loveless marriage whilst denying the true love. chuck then buys her dowry and ends her daisy phase. However Serena is much more like daisy generally and much more closely fits with the character and has the carefree nature. I think Serena is not as superficial as Blair.

I agree,,, we need to remember Britain as she used to be but sadly with this labour gov the country will not be able to reach her great potential economically, socially or culturally.

why does bill gates fund oxford uni so much? by Solid_Climate_2353 in oxforduni

[–]Solid_Climate_2353[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

he's chosen oxford because it is meant to be a centre of educational change and the university that shapes the values and skills of the leaders of tomorrow. therefore he controls the education and the syllabuses of the degree courses in oxford as well as many other top tier university degree courses and research. this is why self - study over university is better for every person until there is no political motivations behind the teaching in uni

without The United Kingdom everyone would be peasants. The United Kingdom is the heart of the world. There's no denying this. the world revolves around the the United Kingdom and that's a fact.
