The love we get, we have to pay for it in the end

Regarding
Arthur of the Shelby family : I always wanted to be the eldest of the family, but in fact I just wanted to prove himself. He didn't necessarily have a craving for power. What he hated was that his family didn’t need him and his sense of existence was weakened. This is what Arthur can't stand the most. After watching the episode where Arthur hangs himself, I feel so sorry for him. After ten years, my father lied to him again. The feeling of expecting and then being abandoned again is not to mention desperate. For a long time, Arthur was a child, no matter how wronged he was, as long as he was given a candy, he would burst into laughter. The last time he was awkward, Tommy gave him a candy—a bar for him. Fortunately, this time Tommy gave him another candy and gave him one-third of the company’s equity. At the same time, he also gave Arthur the love and attention that Arthur cared most. So Arthur was satisfied again and was full again. The blood was resurrected and returned to the arrogant and arrogant Arthur Shelby.

Aunt Polly
was a very strong woman. At that time, Birmingham was a slum area. Crime was breeding, and it was not easy to survive. Polly pulled up several bear children by herself. Later, when the family men went to the battlefield to fight for the country, she had to pick up a gun to protect herself and her family, and to maintain the normal operation of the entire family business. How about that era , How many women have the courage and courage, and how many difficulties they have to overcome and how many dangers. In the matter of Ada and Freddy, Polly hopes that Ada will be happy. She does not want Ada to repeat her mistakes, become pregnant with an illegitimate child, bear a lifetime of infamy, and almost die of an abortion in the end, so she Feeling that Freddy should be given a chance to come back and reunite with Ada. Later, due to Tommy’s order, Polly persuaded Ada to have a baby. With tears in her eyes, she persuaded Ada that she had paid a heavy price for a failed love and could no longer have a normal family like an ordinary woman, but She hopes Ida can. Polly is a woman after all, she can't be as ruthless as Tommy. But Polly is the person who understands Tommy the most in the family. She knows that Tommy gave the family power and strength so that the people in this family do not need to be slaughtered, so she persuaded Ada to forgive Tommy, she knew, Everything Tommy does is for this family. If the family is not united, then everything is meaningless; so she and Grace talked alone and forced her to leave Birmingham so that she could not hurt Tommy again. In a word, Polly is the guardian of Shelby's house, as strong as the Shelby brothers, and cannot survive without Polly.

Ada and John
Impulsive and capricious, just like young girls in the youth rebellious period. Although these two often make Tommy scorched, brothers and sisters are like this. They most often cause trouble for you. Moreover, John and Ida are also children, and they have their lovely places. Regardless of their family's bickering or warmth, I feel that it is still the same sentence, but the family still has to hug together in the end.

Tommy
Tommy is the only alternative in Shelby's family. Arthur John and Ada knew they were a family at a glance. Their personalities were impulsive, reckless and less rooted. But Tommy is different. He is calm and scheming. He is courageous, ambitious and business-minded. He is also clever and can speak good. , Shelby's brand, quality assurance of ghost talk ==).
Without Tommy, the Shelby family’s razor gang would be considered an innocent gang of gangsters. Because of Tommy, the family not only had a firm foothold in the Birmingham area, but also had a relationship with the police station and Billy Kimball. These forces have the confidence to negotiate and cooperate.

But such Tommy fell in love with Grace. At first, the host also felt that Grace's setting was not good enough. She did not match Tommy's resourcefulness and courage, and her identity disguised was not rigorous enough, and she didn't even have much sense of existence. But then I gradually began to understand the screenwriter's setting. Peaky Blinders is not Infernal Affairs, and Grace is to Tommy not Chen Yongren to Liu Jianming. Grace is more like a redemption than an opponent to Tommy. She has a kind and decent appearance, a dignified and decent manner, and has an ordinary but warm trait on her body. This trait makes Grace look out of place in the chaotic and depraved Birmingham, attracting Tommy's attention, before Tommy has had time to learn more about Grace. , His inner desire disrupted his plan, he eagerly hoped to keep Grace, and even offered her a job to manage the books. As cautious as Tommy, after learning that Grace had lied to him several times, he still unconditionally handed over his trust. The pressure of survival and the trauma of war have made his heart tired and lonely for too long, and he needs it too much. Warm, even for a brief moment. On the night at Grace’s house, Tommy said that he couldn’t hear the sound of iron digging walls, just like listening to Grace’s singing in a bar before falling asleep, maybe Grace is like the sun for Tommy. With the light and heat, he just wanted to enjoy this precious warmth and tranquility to the full. As for what Grace's mysterious past was, Tommy no longer wanted or dared to go into it. Sheriff Campbell once said, "The love we get will ultimately have to be paid for." Freddy laughed at Tommy for not knowing what love is. Now Tommy knows it, but he has to face the fact that it is actually a poison. , This is the price Tommy paid, or he is bad luck and fell in love with the wrong person, but how do we know that the next person we meet is right? In that era, love was almost a rare luxury. In the end Grace left, and Tommy was alone again. Even if Billy Kimball was rid of the rushing day, Tommy who was celebrated by the same tribe in the bar still seemed to be alone. Watching Tommy finally became lonely, tired and even a little sluggish. Polly comforted him and said that he would fall in love with others in the future, maybe he would, maybe he would not, but in any case, Tommy would never fall in love with another person like Grace.
