Peaky Blinders is a master piece that we're
lucky to be able to watch at the same century it filmed. And i am sure if you watch this video, you
will think the same. Because we are gonna be breakingdown one of
the best scene filmed ever in Peaky Blinders. It's where Tommy Shelby and Luca Changaretta
met for the first time. What makes this scene so special is, Incredible
writing, -i think who wrote this sentences should be called genious, incredible acting,
directing and delivery. Everything you see in this scene has a deeper
meaning, especially their body languages. And in this video you will learn meaning of
some common body language gestures, how well the actors acts, and what is the deeper meaning
of their sentences. Enjoy watching. Scene starts with Luca's walking into the
room. You see, he's walking very slowly. Moving slowly, is a sign of confidence. If you are lack of confidence, you start to
move faster, and that reduces your control over situations. Also he combines that walk with masculine
shoulder swing. And notice here, his head is a little down
and slightly forward. You can see Tommy walks like that too. That tells us, they're focused and on the
alert for everything. And here is Tommy realizes that this guy is
different. You see, even just walking with confidence
can get you noticed. So he locks his eyes to him. That's a powerful level of eye contact. Making eye contact indicates love and attention,
but staring, is a form of which used to threaten to person. Here is four things to be spotted. Luca breaks the eye contact by first looking
down, adjusting his sleeves, and then looking left. And clasps his hands in front. First, probably everyone knows that, breaking
eye contact by looking down, indicates of acknowledgeing the other person's authority. Remember when your mother scolded you, most
of you were probably bowing your head and accepting your mom's presence. And adjusting his sleeves, indicates that
he's lack of confidence. The meaning of this move is the same as closing
the arms or clasping hands in front completely. They usually do it when they feel nervous
and want to create a barrier to protect themselves. You can see many people doing this move in
front of the camera or crowd. Overall Luca is looking like a loser, but
this move, is conflicting with others. You see, he breaks the eye contact by looking
left, breaking eye contact by looking side indicates that you want to release that tension
raised. But, normally you wouldn't do that when you
are talking. It is a move to do before you start to talk. Looking to the side while speaking means that
you don't take the other person seriously and aren't even strong enough to pay attention,
so you don't have to keep an eye on them, because you think you are stronger. Also he raises his chin, when he clasps his
hands. Raising chin indicates that you are confident,
you want to establish and show your authority, but at the same time he clasps his hands,
which indicates of fear, being nervous... That conflict with his other moves is important. And i will explain the reason later, but for
now it is possible to say that, his body language doesn't seem like together. Bowing his head and accepting Tommy's authority,
then looking to left and says "you are not even worthy of my attention." clasp his hands to create a barrier, which
indicates fear, and rises his chin. There is just, too much conflict here. Tommy probably realised that too. so he continues to read him and, besides body
language, verbal war has started right now. This is the second trick Tommy uses often,
it's called state breaking question. Its about asking a question which will break
and redirect the conversation in a way you want. Tommy basicalls says i will not play your
game, you are gonna play my game. Luca doesn't give an answer, instead he asks
his state breaking question, and takes a sit without even asking. Can you guess what's the meaning of taking
action wihtout asking? Comment below. This is one of those rare moments when Tommy
answers a question. But of course, there is a plan behind that
answer. And Luca is looking compeletelly different. Lets breakdown. First, steepling gesture. This is a form of demonstrating power. It is often used by lawyers or politicians. Usually the person with the higher power is
the one doing the steepling, and the higher the power the higher on the body the steepling
will be. Second, he tiltes his head sideways. This is a very common sign of high interest
and focus on the part of the person doing the tilting. And pay attention which chair he sits. Its one of the heads of the table. Sitting on the chair at the head of table
shows everyone that you have the table, you are the game, and you are the one who holds
power. For example, in this scene, Tommy sits at
the head of the table. Because he is the host, he has the power there. He is the one who created the table by making
them met. Many of the CEO or president sits at the head
of the table. Back in this scene, Luca's current body language
looks so dominant overall. He sit at the chair of head of the table with
steepling gesture, and tilting his head sideway. Basically tells that, think twice before you
say something. Because i am focused to every word that comes
out of your mouth, and i am the boss here. That feeling probably passed to Tommy too,
and he breaks eye contact by looking side. But he doesn't keep it long. Just after a split second, he locks his eyes
again, and asks another question. Tommy uses this trick often when he's under
pressure. You see, he is fidgeting his hands. Sometimes when you feel nervous, you may unwittingly
fidget your hands, legs or you play with something on the table, like pencil, or anything. Luca was looking like dominant and sound really
confident but he is still nervous a little bit. He does every gestures which indicates confident,
and power on purpose, but he still feels nervous and scares subconciously. That's, probably because of, the one who killed
his father and brother is in front of him. So if it is because of that, then its understandable. But if it is not, then, the only meaning of
that, he just plays with Tommy with acting like unconfident. And you will realize which one is. He emphasizing his words with leaning in. Did you catch this? if you, comment below. If you didn't, he is inhaling. It is a sign of he needs to oxygen because
he's nervous. And, in order to release the stress he wants
to smoke. Also he may want to check if his gun is still
there, since he realised this guy is a troublesome, so he may need it. You see, that another trick Tommy uses often. He adds breaks between his words. That gives him enough time think and calculate
well. Also, instead of answering the question directly,
he tells a story as every charismatic person, which has a connection to both his previous
and next answer. Telling stroy gives you the flexibilty of
making a change in answer or give another message with the answer. And here is, instead of smoking, he pulls
out a toothpick. This has the same work as Tommy's ciggaratte. Both of them just relaeses tension which raised
every second. Also they are testing each other here. It would be the same moves to get a gun, so
by doing this you can know if the opponent is affraid or anxious. Tommy continues to read him. He's about to realize this guy is Luca Changretta. And he asks a random question just to have
more time to think. This answer is really remarkable. You see, he's very confident with a big smile
and calm voice. Because he thought he can strike a big blow
with this topic. Verbal warfare is just getting more and more
exciting. Now he tells that he's from New York, which
is a new information about himself. Since he entered the room, he reveals informations
about himself slowly, and that makes Tommy nervous because he tries to figure out who
is this guy. Seems like Luca is having really fun with
that. Also this opening jacket move is crucial here. He's not trying to just show him that he's
dressing better than Tommy. He could've just open the side of the jacket
where the label was placed, but he opened both sides. Meaning that, he wants to show, he's not carrying
a gun. He realised Tommy is good at observing, and
he wants to test, what will do Tommy after he show him that he's unarmed. Because Tommy's reaction here, will lead the
end of the conversation. You will see it later. The conversation about the suit has really
deeper mean. "Stitch with blood" He basically says that,
they keep businnes only in the family and they are trusting each other, to their blood. And when Luca said that, he implies that Tommy’s
Organization is nothing compared to his family. Also, he's becoming more agressive now. Look at this body language, He's emphesizing
his words with his moves, and strong eye contact. This is, fingers on temple gesture. You see many chest players or students does
this when they are thinking. But sometimes, people can do that when they
have negative thoughts on the person they talk to. Did you catch that little mimic in corner
of his mouth's? Gives a little breath, smiles subcounsly,
there is clearly contempt here. Look at his eyebrows and forehead wrinkles? it usually happens when the person is surprised,
stressed, worried, or about to getting offensive. This is because of being about to say something
offensive and getting nervous because of that. He basically says my uncles are just higher
up than yours in terms of presence, they're not type of guys who work in a basement. Here, he plays with his thoothpick. That could be also fidgeting but not actually
in this case. I told you already, he doesn't care. He's not even looking at Thomas when he's
talking and gives his attention to a thoothpick. That's mean is, i dont care you, you are not
even worthy of my attention as this thoothpick. It's really disrespectful. You can see somepeople plays with their hairs,
or cleaning own nils when they are talking to. That means they are not giving you their attention
as muchs as their hairs or own nils, but this case is worse than them becuase it is not
even a part of his body. Just a random small object. And now, finally changeretta's mask is off,
play is over, and it's time get serious. Forehead wrinkles again, sign of getting offansive
here. And here, really common sign of being surrender. Showing your palms indicates that my hands
are clean, i don't hide anything, you are the power here, i am surrender and at your
command. BUT! he does this very slowly with confident. He still plays with Tommy. And also his test is over here. Because he saw that Tommy will not fight honorably. Knowing that Luca was unarmed, he pulled a
gun. The sign of scorn and anger. This sign is very populer among the animals. Especially In dogs and primates. It says i can attack, i can bite you if it
is neccessary. He changed from shy, unconfident and contradictory
attitude, to an aggressive, confident and strong one. This is where all that fake unconfident acts
are over. He was just having fun with Tommy with fake
acting. He is finally serious. You see nostril flaring, this lets more oxygen
enter the body, and nostril wings lifted, frowned eyebrows. Those are the signs of preparing for a fight
or threat someone. If you see someone shows that signs, hundred
percent, they are about to attack. So take your guard. After checking his gun, he realised he's got
played hard. So he looks down and didn't react because
he's shocked. And here is classic mafioso things. Tommy remembered he need to keep him strong. So he lifted his head and made eye contact
again, even in under pressure. This lip licking. Tommy is really stressed right now. Guys can you imagine how hard it for Tommy
to stand and listen. A guy who killed his brother, came to his
room easly, took the power seat, puts up a mask that is difficult to read. He founds out who is this guy hardly when
he's just having fun, pulls his gun to take revange of his brother's death, and realizes
his bullets are taken from his gun. And this guy, putting them on his table, with
giving each of them a target from his family. Who wrote this iconic scene is a genious. And notice, even when he's threatining Tommy,
there is no more fidgeting, any sign of being unconfident. That confirms he was just fake acting before. Because this is where he sould be nervous
the most but there is no sign of that. And this, guys, even i felt that with just
watching. I cant imagine how Tommy put up with that. Really iconic and well written scene. Tommy still keeps his cool. He decided to be non reactive, because he's
got destroyed really bad. This is another trick when Tommy uses under
pressure. A little lifted nostril wings and nostril
flare. Same signs again. We already talked about those. This is high status way of standing up. There is so much scenes characters standing
up like that. People do it when they have the table, the
power there. Also you should do this too. It just a simple trick which will make you
have more charisma instantly. Pointing finger, this is a universal sign
of showing your authority. Slow walk, slow talk, and not even looking
at Tommy. He's strong and confident. You see, when he's talking he doesnt even
give his attention to Tommy, i explained that already but, when he emphasizes his words
and threaths him, he always makes eye contact. That makes him more dominant then someone
who makes eye contact always. Shoulder swing, slow walk and raised chin. He gives a vibe of monster right now. Till here, he dominated Tommy in every way. That's the first time for Tommy getting beaten
like that. You may say, aah they are just talking. No my friend. I know it looks like that, but this characters
are expert on reading body language and verbal meanings. While they are not fighting physically, they
are certainly engaged in a greater verbal warfare than ever before you've seen. And it's important to show your enemy what
you are capable of doing, before the guns are pulled up in their world. Here is a little sneering again. Notice here, Tommy just stressed really bad. He's compeletelly frozen. That happens when you're scared or nervous
badly. But also, it's his strategy to be non reactive. So it could be both of them, but i can say
he has stress clearly. He shows his neck again, and doesn't even
looking at Tommy when he's so closer to him. You should be afraid of your enemy if you're
closer to him. But he doesnt. Also we already talked about what that means
too. Swallowing here. He's really under pressure badly. And that what i was talking about. He offered to fight honorably, and Tommy dropped
his gun. Because that was a referance to Tommy's pulling
his gun, when he saw Luca is unarmed. And the most charismatic declaration of war
of all time. As i said, this scene is a masterpiece in
many ways. Brilliantly written scirpt. Every word has a deep mean and purpose here. Brillianlty acted. Acting is already hard but, this little details
actors cared and displayed are what makes this scene so proffesional. Congratulations to both Cillian Murphy and
Adrian Brody for their acting performance. This color grade, objects, character's position,
even the light is perfectly designed. And this is, one of the best scenes ever filmed.
