To The Lost!!!
Jimmy and Richard were great characters
@@WinstonWolfe21 The best!
Making a scrapbook of pictures of families, sweethearts, and houses... Saddest bastard ever. I want to hug him.
One of the things that makes this so heartbreaking is that you almost expect him to be making some sort of fetishistic scrapbook. Something like what Van Alden would do with Margaret, particularly since Richard has such a clearly damaged psyche. Yet you see that all he fantasizes about is love, the pure kind that a family would provide. Not a word said and I tear up every time I see this.
He's a murderer lol. Why don't you go to the nearest prison where you live and find a real life killer and sympathize with them
@@iseehowitis9382 they're all murderers... Its a show made in which you are made to sympathize with and root for all these murderers. So that's beside the point.
The point is that Harrow is a scarred man, who would probably NOT be a murderer and in a very different place, if circumstances hadn't brought him to this life.
A lot of people were damaged in WWI and brought that trouble back with them once the war was over. Why do you think you see such a jump in heinous crimes in the 20's and 30's? Men trained to be capable to kill and maim returned from a war sometimes with nothing to return to, became vagrants, or criminals. That's the point of the scene, that Harrow wouldn't be here in another life. He is what his world made him.
You're a man. Stop crying.
@@iseehowitis9382 He is a combat veteran and you are a keyboard warrior. A child who fails to understand what "men" go through in war. Stop typing.
@@joseblandino3580 he is a fictional character, and you're a self-inflated balloon. get over yourself
That whole scene goes well with his one question that never stopped haunting me: "What's it like, to have everything?"
You're alive!
That's deep
Or when he asks Jimmy "Would you fight for me"
@@blaze4metal To the last bullet.
Nobody has everything. Even the wealthiest lack of something.
I love how Richard is one of the only characters in the entire show that everyone universally likes and didn’t want to get killed off, besides Chalky and maybe Jimmy.
A great character. I remember when Kurt Sutter announced his fandom of the character when he was doing SOA on FX.
Why Jimmy?
Archetypally he's close to pristine. He embodies the type of man that men wish they were and women wish they were with: stoic, kind, loyal, brave, upright etc. He's a tragic figure, but his suffering and how he bears it is what makes him so attractive to the audience, and almost holy.
The great thing is that he gets his wish, under random circumstances of course. His friend and friend's wife are killed so he becomes a father figure to their son Tommy, and he develops a relationship with a fellow veteran's daughter in Julia Sagorsky. It's an awkward family photo *literally* but it's awesome for Richard.
My favorite jack Huston put his all in the character I feel sorry about what happened to his character Mr. Narrow that's why I don't like war my hits off to our brave souls who fought and were so courageous
This is a gutwrenchingly sad scene, especially since it's so similar to the real life Henry Darger; a lonely man who made an entire 15,000 page book out of paper scraps and cheap paints. Nobody even discovered his amazing body of work until shortly before he died, while they were cleaning out his old apartment. It so easily could have been lost to time.
I'll miss you Mr Harrow.
Me too...
Just rewatch episode with him in it.
@@iseehowitis9382Funny
Blindsided by my wife wanting a divorce. My first and only love. I am old and my body has been broken for 7 long years and my heart is as well. This hits hard. As time goes by, I'll wind up just like Richard.
God bless you.
stay strong king
A beautiful, gentle soul shattered by the war. The acting here his superb. His loneliness is palpable.
He is a made up character. 😂
@@southeastflnn5839 Yea well the real ww1 veterans that suffered the same fate are not so show some fucking respect.
@@southeastflnn5839 are you ok homie?
Even at our most damaged, we remain creative, ambitious and hopeful. ~Lessons from Richard Harrow.
It breaks my heart to see this type of thing happen. He sacrificed everything. And return he received loneliness...💔
Everytime I see this man I just wanna hug him. He's perfect.
He absolutely should have won an emmy for this role
Wonderful, gentle character. Only started watching the show and he's my favorite.
i have a messed up face just like richard, and feel the same way the character feels. its amazing to see this so well done on a great show.
Don’t lie
Same here, Cancer took out half my face well the Upper half I'm missing my left eye its practically a open socket. Hope you're doing good you're not alone.
I have extreme scars on my face..I also am a veteran of Operation enduring Freedom. United States Army, 10th Mtn. Division. Infantry officer.
I do not claim to be a badass, or anything like that. I really identify with Richard Harrow. I have a lot in common with him & that is all I have to say.
To the gentlemen here with scars for life, I hope you ALL are doing well.
@@KomfyKrew ik I’m late but thank you
This is the scene that had me transfixed from the first moment till the last. Enough to make me want to go back and watch the rest of the series. Absolutely heartbreaking.
Richard Harrow’s too pure for this world 😭❤️
You’re right. Probably because he was made up to begin with.
The war messed him up
He’s a fictional character. Not real. I looked up the history of Enoch Johnson. Jimmy is fictional too. Made up. Eli is real. Nucky is real. There are others that are real but most are not.
@@southeastflnn5839get a life
We like to root for the underdog because we see ourselves in them.
Richard was a magnificent character.
my closeted ass saving hazbin hotel ship art to a pinterest board
All he wanted was what most of us take for granted. Family,.
I think it was more that Richard knew that he could never have a "normal" life. He too died in the trenches.
Swear to god I'm about to tear up.
TO THE LOST!!!
I dont know whether to FEAR or SYMPATHIZE for Richard Harrow. He's such an awesome character.
You. are mmm killing me, ma'am. I. mmm like that. description
🍻 To the love and memory of Harrow
Richard Harrow invented drunken Facebooking.
He just wants to be like everyone else. Instead he chose to be better than everyone else.
the thing is though, the last scene you see of Richard is him leaving Tommy at Julia's house after his killing spree, and telling the father something like "Be safe. That's what's important" then leaving. I think that means that it's no longer about his disfigurement being an obstacle for his dream of having a family, but it's more about the sort of life that he leads getting in the way of him keeping his newfound family. I mean look what happened to Jimmy and Angela.
Yeah...I have a crush on Richard.
Watch mojo needs to put a list of the10 most tragic characters . Place him up on the top 3 for sure ..
My Dad remembers WW1 veterans always at the head of parades in our small town when he was a boy in the 50's and they were old men then but they carried their 1903 Springfields from the local Legion Hall. My grandpa remembered Civil War veterans always at the lead with the flag. I remember WW2 veterans and what a childhood I had getting to hear their stories. Veterans are the same, just different wars. Be glad they're around just in case things ever got bad.
My fav character from the show. Sad tragic story. But at least in the end he was whole again and found love and a family if only briefly he got to exp what it was?like.
Richard Harrow. Hobbies includes long walks on the beach, fine dining, scrapbooking.
poor richard... T_T
my favorite character in the show... I watch it to get a glimpse of him.
easily one of the most well-conceived and complex characters on this series. if they kill him off, i will be apoplectic
Some fates are worse then death. His was to live deformed in both body and mind. He was created by war. It's the difference between him and most of the cold blooded murders on the show.
I really hope that when the series closes we'll all finally get the ending we want for Richard Harrow...
Seeing the poor guy getting reunited and reunified with his twin sister.
You was half right lol
I was so disappointed in the ending of Boardwalk and especially Richard Harrow. It was so easy wishing Richard much happiness and a family.
Boardwalk Empire ended for me when Richard Harrow died...he was the most complex character of the show.
Such a beautiful character
I think Richard would be happy if he found a nice beautiful blind girl to love him.
Why blind? People are capable of seeing beauty where one would never look
Tragic character and probably the best in the show.
awesome richard .....
I'm going through last season of the series, I'm so glad I found it. This scene makes me cry, it's so emotional.
I found the seasons after season 2 became progressively worse with time, though I might prefer Season 5 to Season 4. But all things said I still immensely enjoyed the entire ride. And I know exactly what you mean, this scene is truly something special.
@@SilasWolfe Thank you for your response. I agree it may have had its up and downs, but I think it's pretty consistent anyways, I'm also enjoying it a lot. Obviously, you have to like the thematic, and I love this kind of shows. Thank you, I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets these feelings when watching this scene. Sorry if my English was bad, I'm not practising it very much lately. Cheers bro.
@@CtaOnline Cheers dear friend, keep enjoying this entirely relatable clip of an incredibly isolated and longing individual.
Peerless Quartet - Is There Still Room for Me 'Neath the Old Apple Tree
I'll put it in the description for future reference.
What melts my heart is that this is the same song that him and Julia dance to at the veteran's dance
Oh my god I love him soooo much (hugs Richard) He's got problems (NOT talking about his face here) but he's my fave anyway.
Richard harrow is my life on screen minus the war.
Me having this recommended right after I'd been busy for hours glueing pretty pictures and letters from newspapers in my diary lmao
Poor Richard... He was treated like this during the 1920s but I GURANTEE you that if he walked around like that today people would think it was cool and definitely wouldn't let this cinnamon roll be by himself!
You underestimate people's shallowness.
You really feel for him.
This character haunts me, straight up.
The only thing that eases the pain to think of all these people that suffered like him after the WW1, is that by now they are all dead and free of their pain.
His acting in last Sunday's episode was amazinggg..
as bad as i felt for him in season 1, i was competely blown away when i saw this scene. i felt so bad it was killing me
the writers better give him someone that can love him even with his condition
I relate to him a lot. I’m very lonely and want love and a family. I feel undesirable and different. I haven’t related to a character like I do to him. I’m glad he got to experience love before he died.
Richard Harrow reminds me a lot of a character Lon Chaney would have played in one of his movies.
Lest we forget
That was suggested out of necessity to kill they who would kill him and his friends. I disagree that he is sick. I believe that he knows right and wrong and everything he does is out of reason. Either way, all that previous discussion aside, he is my favorite character and i want him to stay above all danger.
In 3rd volume he must find a beautifull lassie.He is simply one of the best TV characters in history.
Richard Harrow is the best character in the entire series without a doubt & my very favorite too💯 My second is Johnny Torrio then Jimmy Darmody then Al Capone then Chalky White then Nucky Thompson!!!!!! Those are my top 5 in order I also like Meyer ,Lucky , & A.R. & can't forget Nelson Val Alden, Gyp Rosetti & Manny Horvitz , there's not too many cast members that I actually don't like in this show it's got the greatest cast of likable Characters of any TV drama series 💯
In my opinion he is one of the saddest characters in the series
0:43 Joseph rios❤
I feel ya Richard …..
I’m probably one the few people that thought he deserved better than Julia. They were fine together, but I think that an intimate closeness was missing in their relationship (not talking about the sexual kind). I have the feeling that Julia didn’t love him as much as Richard probably loved her.
This just breaks your heart....
He and chalky are easily my favorite characters on the show.
Early days on the Gram.
I think Richard is so sweet, yes he may be a hit man but he isn't evil he just disassociates when he kills, he is so adorable and vulnerable, I want to marry him
My Grandpas also served in WW2,in the Pacific Theatre. My grandfather Francis served in the 27th regiment,25th Infantry Division on the Island of Luzon in the Philippines.He fought along highway one,and fought in the battle of Balete Pass.He passed away last year and i inherited his type 32 Jap Calvary sword. which i treasure.My grandfather Loren served in the Navy on the USS Makkassar Strait CVE-91.It was a Casablanca class aircraft carrier that lauched sorties all over the Bonins and Ryukus.
If I existed in that universe, I would sooo want to marry him...on the condition that, ya know, he stops killing people n stuff.
VictorianRomantic okay
Gotta have him kill some rivals through kinder garden and highschool and rescue the kidnapped can't let that badassesry go to waste ;)
Now you can marry me, or until you get beaten so hard that you wish you just not exist. People with this kind of lifestyle has it's unstable version that nobody will see until you stay next to him. Let's see what you gonna say.
Am i only girl think he's hot?
no I love him!!
I think he is still attractive
@@Oddbisket he's f*cking disfigured and hideous looking. you're purely attracted to his aesthetic, the aesthetic of a cool calculated hitman. women wouldn't look at richard twice without knowing his unique back story. they'd assume he's just some weird nerdy incel.
@@royalzak2670 Who hurt you
@@ryman1933 shut up you cow
Richard kind of scares me a little bit. Not his face, but his sometimes detachment from humanity. I do love him though. Jimmy and Richard. Favorite characters.
Semp;er Fi . You're also talking to A Marine Coprps Veteran and the son of Army veteran of World War II. He(my father) saw action in Europe with the 761st Tank Battalion. They had a 50% casualty rate and most of his friends didn't make it! Other factors like a segregated Army and Jim Crow played in as well. Warfare is no experience to take lightly. WW2 affected my father. To kill and see deathes of friends and utter destruction takes it toll on the best of souls!
my favourite boardwalk empire character
One of the best looking men on that show.
Oh okay. And yet here you are enjoying life, instead of complaining about your condition and saying "is it all worth it?" And yet that's exactly what 'average' people do, most of the time. Well the ones I seem to bump into. Good on you, your an inspiration rememeber that :) Exactly the attitude my mother took when she got breast cancer, I believe it helped her beat the damn thing. And you are a very funny lady, you be a cool mother :) You made me smile today!!!
I love richard harrow,
Not random, planned. Not pointless, aimed to draw the D'Lessio's out.
@bodlive08 I was too! I didn't expect to see this. Even the question he made to Jimmy earlier in the episode, "What does it feel like to have everything?"
You can sort of know he is longing for a relationship or normalcy when he has that dream running on the beach with Odette, but this scene goes so much deeper into that desire for a family. Richard is obviously a dangerous man, but only when he has to be. I've yet to see a random, pointless killing committed by him.
Mmmm... Forever Alone, mmmm...
i just want to hug him
All of my uncles served in WW2 as well. The eldest, get this was a driver for Capone's gin runs from Chicago to Canada and back. My older brother visited him one day and my uncle brought him to his attic and show him two mint condition Thompsons with the circular clips still fully loaded. He told my brother that he had one "chopper" in trucks ceiling and the other machine gun on the door on the driver side.
What Richard did in this scene is what I do.... I take photos of my house and I crop out waifus of my choice of interest from anime and crop them in my photos as if they were in my house.... :)))))
I relate
the description made me LOL
@Tracy137 Haha right? Margaret and the one and only expression she ever has in the world; the eyebrows creased, eyes wide "Woe is me," look. LMAO.
@ViceCityVacation I did suffer from depression for a while, but I had two strokes and that made me realise life was too short to sit and whine. I fought back, recovered better than the docs said I would and I love life now....or rather I love to laugh at it. Your mother sounds a very cool lady. Well, I certainly like to leave people laughing and I'm glad I made you smile - it's better for the wrinkles. ;O)
great actor! good job!
A Marine OIF Veteran myself, I identify with the character on many levels his morals or lack thereof notwithstanding. Therefore you may now have a better insight as to why earlier i stated i do not believe his characters to be a psychopath nor sick.He is methodical and emotions have little use to him.Some civilians have a difficult time understanding the methodical and deceptive nature of warfare.Harrow positively encapsulates the melancholy,emotionally distant mind of a veteran in peacetime.
@ViceCityVacation well, you're sweet and very kind. :O) I LOVE to kid around, keeps me sane(ish). I don't mind talking about my wheels. The wheelchair is my friend, as I have severe arthritis and walking is.....difficult. Think of a penguin on speed - my family even sing the pingu theme (it's on here I think)....VERY funny. rofl. Still if you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at? Besides I have fun with my wheels; oh the stories I could tell. ;O)
Such a tortured soul....
@Tracy137 You're right; we would see a different side to him. I think we saw flashes of that side during certain interactions he had with Margaret and Angela; he opened himself up to them just the slightest bit at certain points, allowed emotion to show. But really, most of the time, he just goes through the motions of living. Of course, he has so much post-traumatic stress (people didn't know about it back then!:/) so I can only imagine what goes on in his head.
He's a ruthless killer but you still want to hug him, what's wrong with me?
There are lot of freaks, mutilates and ugly people who are waiting for your love darling, this is just Jack Huston.
when him and jimmy meet for the first time its jokes
richard - "what book you reading?"
jimmy - "Christ.... the tin soilder" LOLLLLLLL
Richard Harrow is not an evil man because he doesn’t exist as a man. Harrow is a bad idea.
@faboul467 noo the actor who plays richard is really gorgeous and it doesn't matter if Richard hims self had scares his beauty still shines through. I don't understand how women cannot see it. I mean yes it's jarring to see at first but even Jimmy's wife got used to the scares. IF you actually sit and talk with him you won't even notice them anymore because you paying attention him as a man. Every one is flawed!!! At least he got them from fighting for his country. :) I stan for Jim and Rich!!
@Tracy137 I always disliked Raoul too!! Like, even when I was 7 and saw the opera for the first time, I was so MAD when she didn't choose the phantom. I basically wanted Raoul out of the picture from the get-go, haha, and I hardly even knew what love was. You've had two strokes, that has got to be a challenge. I'm a nurse, and while I don't work on a stroke flooor, I can appreciate what that does to your body and mind. I think your philosophy on life is fantastic (don't hate, etc).
