Ecco un altro telefilm dal quale sono rimasto affascinato, Boardwalk Empire. Boardwalk Empire racconta la storia di Nucky Thompson, l'indiscusso boss di Atlantic City dove rappresenta sia il potere politico sia quello malavitoso. La serie televisiva e' stata scritta da Terence Winter, lo stesso Terence Winter che a scritto una delle serie televisive piu' acclamate degli ultimi anni, i Soprano. Altri nomi eccelenti di Boardwalk Empire sono Mark Wahlberg produttore della serie e sopratutto Martin Scorsese produttore nonche' regista del primo episodio della serie. Non sono da meno anche i nomi del cast, Steve Buscemi, Michael Pitt, Michael Shannon, Aleksa Palladino e altri piu' o meno noti.
La serie essenzialmente si basa su fatti realmente accaduti ad Atlantic City durante il proibizionismo. Ci sono pero' certe discrepanze storice e personaggi inventati, ma come ha spiegato Terence Winter, sono minime e sono state inserite solo per dare piu' suspance alla serie. E forse anche per allungarla un po aggiungerei io. Enoch ¨Nucky˝ Thompson e' in realta' Enoch L. Johnson politico e gangster di Atlantc City degli anni '20. Ci sono poi anche un giovane Al Capone e Lucky Luciano, John ˝Papa Johnny˝ Torrio... Insomma sono presenti tutti i piu' grandi gangster Americani di tutti i tempi.
Curiosita'
La Atlantic City degli anni '20 e' stata ricreata su un set a Brooklyn (New York), e si dice che Martin Scorsese sia stato cosi maniacale nei particolari, che le panchine hanno le stesse misure di quelle originale del 1920.

Here's another show from which I was fascinated, Boardwalk Empire. Boardwalk Empire tells the story of Nucky Thompson, the undisputed boss of Atlantic City.
The television series is written by Terence Winter, the same Terence Winter that wrote one of the television most acclaimed series' in recent years, the Soprano. Other excellent names of Boardwalk Empire series are producer Mark Wahlberg and Martin Scorsese producer and above all director of the first episode. Not to be outdone even the names of the cast are exellent, Steve Buscemi, Michael Pitt, Michael Shannon, Aleksa Palladino, and other more 'or less known.
The series is essentially based on real events in Atlantic City during Prohibition. There is, however, 'certain discrepancies in the historical and fictional characters, but as explained Terence Winter, are minimal and have been included only to give more suspense to the series. And maybe, I would add, a bit to lengthen it. Enoch ¨Nucky˝ Thompson is actually Enoch L. Johnson Atlantic City political and gangster of the '20s. There are also a young Al Capone and Lucky Luciano, John ˝ Papa’ Johnny˝ Torrio. In short, there are all the greatest American gangster of all time.

The Atlantic City of the 20s was recreated on a set in Brooklyn (New York), and it is said that Martin Scorsese was so maniacal in particular, that the benches have the same size as the original in 1920.
