Charles Bronson

[gnasher16 30,121]

Craig Fairbrass is the only actor ive seen who has anywhere near the size and intensity to be able to pull off playing Lennie Mclean.......if the person playing the part is not absolutely right the film would be a disaster and i think thats why there hasnt been one......I know Ray Winstone was spoken about but he just laughed at the idea.

If you've read any of his books you'll be VERY familiar with his favourite word "Institutionalisation". He says himself he wouldn't know how to live outside the prison system. The most significant thing that he wrote was in reference to if he ever got out. He basically said he'd open a gym where it was a series of small rooms (prison cell) and people would train there. The part that stands out the most, he said he would just live in a cell in his own gym.

 

I do feel sorry for him, but at the same time, he is his own worse enemy.

 

He always says he would love to feel grass or sand on his feet. But then admits whenever he sees a new guard he likes to fight them and see what they're made of.

 

Prison has not helped him develop into a 'releasable' citizen, but it has certainly helped him become better than he was......but that's not saying a lot.

 

I have a lot of time for the guy. But I do think that he will die in prison, and it'll be a result of his own doing. It's like a bittersweet situation for him.

 

He may not be a model citizen, or even a model prisoner, but you have to appreciate the physical capabilities of the guy. He knocked out a cow with 1 punch (broke his hand in the process), punched through bullet proof glass (but shredded his arm in the process), held the world record for the most consecutive press-ups and most press-ups in a certain time period (I can't remember how long it was). The guy is impressive, and to some he is inspirational (think UK Boxing champion whose interview was cut short when asked who inspired him to box and he said "Charles Bronson", no names mentioned there for the champ).

 

Having said all of that, he is not the kind of person whose life you would want to emulate. Neither would he be capable of existing in normal society.

 

For those that love Bronson, appreciate he needs to be where he is for his own good.

 

For those that hate Bronson, appreciate he will always be where he is.

cant say I support the system he had to suffer but I think that lad beyond repair. besides if he gets out he might want to start a family

He is actually married to a really pretty Muslim lady. I'm not sure if they're still married though.

The trouble is, as soon as he gets near being paroled, he'll do something so he has to stay in longer, and with him, that "something" usually involves someone else being hurt.

 

You can't blame the prison system IMO as loads of other people go through it and come out the other side without turning into slavering thugs.

That's institutionalisation for you. Can't cope outside of prison.

Yes, I know. What I'm saying is many thousands of other people do a crime, do their time, then get on with life. Why is it so different for him?

Haha

 

The story goes that he figured he could knock out a cow with 1 punch, then threatened a riot unless they got him a cow to punch. A one man riot doesn't sound much, but his last one man riot cost the prison system £250'000+.

 

The guy as a human specimen is impressive, but at a human-being....not someone worth emulating, in my opinion.
