Right...i have established that this is an extremely late review/Summary of Peaky Blinders xD but it least i'm getting something done haha :')
Anyways , so! Peaky Blinders Episode 5 saw many thing's happen. Such as an IRA visiting Thomas , The Shelby's father making a visit , Arthur Committing suicide and also Thomas and Grace making love.
One of the Story lines that i found to stand out in this episode , was the return of Arthur Senior (Tommy Flanagan) , The Shelby Brothers father. The fact that Arthur Senior arrived without any caution , was clearly shown through the tension between him and Tommy and so revealed that he was an unlikable character.
Throughout the episode i had a huge amount of sympathy for Arthur Shelby , due to the fact that he really wanted to rekindle his relationship with his father , unlike the his brothers. And to one day run a casino , an idea conjured up by his selfish father.
Sympathy was further created towards Arthur , lets say Arthur Junior, as his father asked him for a huge amount of money , which would enable them to start 'their' business. This unfortunately was incredibly unlikely. We soon realise that Arthur Senior runs off with the money , leaving poor Arthur Junior behind. There were also a couple of fight scenes between Arthur S and Arthur J , in which made me hate A Senior even more. At one point , they begin to fight surrounded by men and at first Arthur J see's it as a playful fight! But his father has other plans and humiliates his son. Underlying tension and hatred is suggested through the way in which Arthur's father beats up his own son , only to them confuse Arthur by declaring him the winner , showing the evil and tormented side that Arthur Senior has.
This betrayal formed by Arthur Junior's father , in turn, resulted in Arthur trying to commit suicide. However , This was unsuccessful and the rope snaps , much to Arthur's disappointment and relief. This was clearly suggesting a sign of fate , as Arthur couldn't possibly die just yet! not until series 2 or 3 or 4 is over , perhaps? haha xD.
The love scene between Thomas and Grace was also a pivotal moment in the episode and also much anticipated by the Thomas and Grace fans (Not sure if such fans have made up a stupid name for them yet :L Thace? Gracmas? mmm relevant to the season..yeah haha) The love scene , was indeed beautifully filmed! as most scenes including Thomas and Grace, individually or together, usually are. It was also shown after a brawl with the IRA etc and so passion ,in a sense, was conveyed well through the actors after/due the traumatic situation. However i found it difficult to know if Grace truly loved Tommy during this scene , due to the fact that i found it slightly difficult to read her.
Sadly , i have a feeling Episode 5 is no longer available on the BBC Iplayer! But the boxset is available from Amazon etc.
Hope you kind of enjoyed this :)! haha x
I will try and get a review for the Finale written soon ;D!
P.S Constructive criticism is welcome! I would love to know what you guys think about my writing and what i could improve on! it would be a great help :) Thank you x
