I thought it was fantastic . I liked it more than Oppenheimer because the last act of Oppenheimer with the trial gets hammy. Additionally, Scorsese as a director is really interested in social contradictions and dynamism. For examples, how can a man as calculated, cunning, refined, and meticulous as Ace in Casino have such a chaotic love-life? How can a group of men that delve into extreme debauchery, criminality, and wanton violence hold so much esteem in our collective consciousness (i.e., mobsters)? How can a man that vehemently states he loves his wife and children, such that, he will swear on his children’s lives when his fidelity is questioned—also be will to slowly poison his wife at the prospect of money? Such a man, even his name manifests a contradiction when you consider his true constitution (i.e., Ernest/Earnest).

Like, M.S. I am also incredibly intrigued by the interplay of social contradictions as social phenomena, so this movie just really resonated with me. This shyt had me legit hating white people during the film too . Someone said, “Oh, the Osage should’ve known how white people get down.” Listen, history shows that once you’re in close proximity with white people—it’s too late. What’s the old saying about a rooster in the hen house? Japan kept them out for a longggggggg ass time for a reason.

Lastly, M.S. doesn’t really do crazy cinematography or anything, but all the cuts are so precise and sleek. He also just adds little details in his films that creates an added layer of immersion. For instance, Mollie leaving the dude that controls her funds office, and he shows her stepping on his door mat upon her exit. What does that little bit add to the story? Not much, but it’s that fine detail attuned with how people navigate the material world, which flows well as when he transitions into the next scene. Obviously, he’s a fantastic moviemaker.

Preach that dinner table scene hit me the most

Grandma was disgusted

I watched it last week. Very captivating movie. Despite the length, I found myself engaged throughout the story. If RDJ hadn't won the Oscar this year, it should have gone to Robert DeNiro. It was one of his best performances.

Excellent movie... Overall tho, I don't think I'll be watching this more than maybe 2-3 times ever, not only is it long af, but it's also extremely bleak, reminds me of how Schindler's List is a great film that I don't desire to to see more than once or twice.

Maybe I missed something, or am misremembering, but it seemed as if Leo's character went from being a somewhat decent husband but greedy to plotting murders real quick.

Just finished, finally. Leo’s character was such a fukkin dummy I believe it.
