Original Poem
BE HONEST AND TRUE.
By George Birdseye.
Be honest and true, boys!
Whatever you do, boys,
Let this be your motto through life.
Both now and forever,
Be this your endeavor,
When wrong with the right is at strife.
The best and the truest,
Alas! are the fewest;
But be one of these if you can.
In duty ne'er fail; you
Will find 'twill avail you,
And bring its reward when a man.
Don't think life plain sailing;
There's danger of failing,
Though bright seem the future to be;
But honor and labor,
And truth to your neighbor,
Will bear you safe over life's seas.
Then up and be doing,
Right only pursuing,
And take your fair part in the strife.
Be honest and true, boys,
Whatever you do, boys,
Let this be your motto through life. - Розваги
I think the direction in season 5 is magnificent. I only wish it would have gotten 12-13 episodes. It has a quality to it that is so hard to explain or put your finger on. Haunting and powerful.
This! I couldn't put it into words. It's short and understandably not fleshed out but it has a distinct quality I've come to appreciate. Definitely my favorite season. The soundtrack is so haunting.
@@jophillips1464 the camera work was different as well. Glad to see another fan of this amazing show. The last season definitely has a magic element to it. Fucking brilliant
Still watch this almost everyday... It is a shame how lost these words are on some people
I watch it regularly and use it as a moral compass
Loved how the very last scene of the show was Nucky eventually getting a coin. The symbolism was brilliant. He tried so hard to be a good man, but he made one terrible decision and never escaped it. Eventually, it caught up with him
He made terrible decisions over and over again. It wasn't just that he betrayed Gillian, but he continued to betray her through killing James, having her locked up, etc.
@@Teekles There's no excuse for what he did to Gillian as a child, but at least he tried to make amends for what he did and took care of both Gillian and Jimmy who he treated like a son, got into Princeton, protected him from the feds and Rothstein, and got him off a quintuple murder once he gave him the job he initially wanted as his enforcer.
Jimmy deserved to be killed. He stabbed Nucky in the back for his mother's rapist and ordered a hit on him. Even if he did help derail the federal case, he knew himself that he deserved to die, which is why he showed up unarmed without Richard. Gillian was lucky Nucky didn't kill her or have her killed and that he allowed her to run her brothel in his city. She convinced Jimmy not to cancel the hit, then told Rosetti that Nucky, Rothstein, and Luciano would be having dinner at the club knowing he'd try to kill them. Nucky still didn't do anything to her. Leander is the one who hired the Pinkertons and even though that Roy=Gillian storyline was ridiculously far-fetched, she confessed in front of multiple detectives, and Nucky was helping Richard and Tommy by telling the press where to find Jimmy's body in exchange for Richard killing Narcisse. Her getting locked up wasn't Nucky's fault. It was her own fault and it's not like she was innocent; she drowned a man that somewhat resembled Jimmy after injecting him with heroin so she would be able to get a death certificate for him and take loans out against the Commodore's house. She didn't deserve to be under Dr. Cotton's care, but she feigned insanity to avoid going to a real prison.
This has seriously made a huge impact. Boardwalk led me to the poem in golden days.... Seriously changed my life. Thank you Gerardo for posting this once again.
Nathan Stagg I hope you are doing well 🙂
@@gerardo8av Slowly taking control of my selective field here in the UK. The main reason all my customers and competition respects me... is cause i literally am honest and true... This in turn has given me more opportunity than anything else. Friends and business all prefer someone who lives by these values. This poem seriously has changed my life
@@nathanstagg4566 I am so glad to know about this, and more now than ever before, given the current challenges.
i wish you the best. I'm also based in the UK, but not in the mainland. I'm at the Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean.
Take care, good Nathan!
@@gerardo8av stay safe my good man. I am on facebook by the same name
@@gerardo8av still an my good man. You?
Absolutely loved this while watching this episode. Means a lot to me you uploaded this, thanks mate
You very welcome. It would be a shame to let these scenes to be forgotten.
I don’t think these scenes are forgotten or glossed over at all, Gerardo. They add to the overall brilliance of the show, and there are quite a few scenes of this nature in it i.e. when Darmody is killed and in the closing moments of the episode we see him as a younger man in the trenches of WWI, hearing that whistle and about to climb over - in the show, Darmody says he died in the trenches, and I believe that very scene is meant to exemplify where he dies - where his life is forever changed, and all he knows from that moment on is horror, death and pain. This show was never just a gangster show, and I always just figured that anyone who really watches it would understand that.
One of the best scenes I ever see in my life.
Brandon Castillo yes, very beautiful and well done.
This is literally the recipe to be nucky thompsonxD
Well, I think Nucky went wrong about 100 times per episode in living up to his boyhood aspirations of being honest and true. His death at the end is just deserts in my opinion.
I love that part in Boardwalk Empire and how it flashed back to Nucky and Eli’s childhood
Thank you very much. :) im sure the creators of the program would be pleased. A credit to the program. Beautiful poem and it should be remembered.
Yes, I thought so. Being so disconnected from the main story line, it was doomed to be forgotten. Well, here we have it. Thanks for your comment :)
NEVER FORGOTTEN
Exceptional
Yes... I thought it was worth rescuing these scenes, which most likely would be missed/forgotten by the usual performances on this series.
amazing scenes
Yes!
Be honest and true Boyz in all that you do Boyz let this be your motto through life ....
Still so shocked hardly anyone has seen this video...! Be honest at true.
Nathan Stagg People looking for "Boardwalk Empire" most often want the gangster action and incidences. These scenes are, in that sense, not interesting for them.
The best and the truest,
Alas! are the fewest;
🙏
i wonder if the difrence in mentality betveen back then and nowadays can actually be used as a messure of regress.
***** difficult to measure and determine.
Score?
