Talking about Thomas Shelby

After watching five seasons of "Peaky Blinder" intermittently, for me, film and television works and literary works are all illusory substances, but I am just craving for some kind of sympathy and comfort. Obviously Mr. Thomas let me see demonic human males, but after all, they are still humans, dominated and controlled by emotions. But this does not affect his evil charm as a male, but this defect modifies his unrelenting indifference.

Thomas’ sense of absolute conquest is pervasive in every shot, especially when he is in a disadvantaged situation, he often bursts out a kind of silent emotion and has a calm heart. Whether it was Billy Kimber’s humiliation and use of speech skills to maintain a low balance, or because the enemy’s back words made him caught off guard by shoveling horse dung and regretting that he did something that does not match his current status, or he himself digs a tunnel to put down his status and do it. The work of the working class, the depressive charm of men is all gathered by him.

In addition, Thomas’s line "I have died once, and every day in the future will be given to me by God." When making dangerous decisions, in addition to careful planning, it is clear that belief also promotes him. Humans cannot avoid the mortal nature of life. It is a fixed ending and a final destination. If death can be taken lightly, then it is not surprising that weird things happen in the world. But Thomas showed the kind of unwillingness and pain at the moment of death, "I nearly got f**king everything." Because of Grace's deep love, because of the emergence of Business, because of the Shelby family, because of In the bleak mid winter.

The characteristics of the devil have made him, he has a vision for the future, and at the same time cruelly sacrificed and used all the surrounding resources, not abiding by any law, but having his own rules. He is greedy in my eyes, the kind of extreme greed, unscrupulous greed. Because he knows a truth, we are born greedy. We continue to acquire desires from the world, what we gain is the material with desire function, the gradual filthyness of our spirit, and what we lose is the constant decay and inability from existence to non-existence. Soul acquired. There are a lot of erotic fragments in the plot, and the discourse is mixed with vulgar dialogue such as f**cking, bloody, etc., which is obviously an interpretation of desire and the overall tone of the play.

He also has an independent personality. In the early twentieth century, there were a large number of revolutionary movements in Britain. Because of faith and good yearning, the final result under the influence of the group effect could only be assimilation. "Conviction introduces emotion, which is the enemy of oratory", Thomas doesn't believe in anything, he only believes in the feelings of his own heart. Unbelievers are always the most terrible, and at the same time the most powerful.

As a whole, the plots of the five seasons show uniquely detailed violent aesthetics and communication skills, thinking about direction in desire, and dominating decision-making emotionally.

Finally I want to say
