Official The Irishman Thread

[Alvin]

Finished watching after not watching it for a month, watched it as a mini-series. I liked it, but it's mostly dialogue based (not a bad thing) was kinda weird bc all the actors are old and washed looking, but I guess that's how most of those people looked in real time. Honestly enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Just rewatched this over the past two days, liked it more the second time around. Pesci absolutely killed it, especially his final scenes in prison. The film gets a lot of flack because of the times the de-aging stuff didn't work, specifically with DiNiro and the scene he beats the guy down outside the grocery store. Which is a shame because DiNiro was great in and then movie was great as well.

while I'm not justifying how "odd" the scene looks, it's an homage to the Godfather scene where Sonny beats up Carlo

This was too long for certain film room brehs but a 4 hour superhero movie is just fine

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

IMO this is a better movie that a lot of similar scorcese films like casino and the departed and gangs of New York.

the length can be daunting but GF2 is just about as long and no one thinks it’s bad.

I really enjoy The Irishman one of my personal favorites

I'm sad that more people don't bring up his work in the Lethal Weapon series.

Watching it now. As expected, I’m loving it. This is definitely the last dance when it comes to Scorsese/De Niro and gangster flicks; probably Marty’s epilogue in the sub-genre too. Truly the last of its kind.

A gangster flick being a hard watch?

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

Its truly some of Pesci’s best work.

Yeah if you want to truly digest the movie it helps to know a lot of shyt beforehand

Most people don’t know who Jimmy Hoffa was nor do they even understand the union links to the mob or how they came to be historically

It’s not just some shoot em up bang bang shyt and this movie is so long and dialogue heavy that you have to focus

Nobody is forcing him to make every other film about Irish Catholics or Italians. Dude aint even irish his own self he just does that cause his friend De Niro is irish. He could do the same for his black friends.

But again this is beside the point, i'm not asking him to make different movies, i'm just saying his criticisms are ironic given his filmography.

He should stick to his people and what he’s good at.

at Scorsese making a Larry Hoover movie like what?? fukk Larry Hoover too that nikka don’t deserve no movie

He ain’t Irish but he’s an ethnic white New Yorker. Irish and Italians are PB&J their stories are interlinked and all in the same, rivals and brothers.

Let’s just see some god damn cac criminality
