'The Irishman' Confirmed: Scorsese Directing De Niro, Pacino, Pesci and Keitel in 2011

[nawghtyhare]

Action Bronson lil cameo was dope
And the big booty Dominican girl
From orange is the new black was nice
She couldn’t even hide all that in those baggy scrubs

Also avengers endgame > this

Master Zik Did you peep on first watch who played Bobby Kennedy

Spoiler: Our boy :pimp:

 

[plansb]

Oh wow Richard was boobie?

 

[nice dolphin]

Yo, the “Boobie” disses had me

I caught on during that Senate hearing but I almost didn't recognize him with a full face and that hair.

On another note, I would've liked a scene here confirming the mafia killed Bobby too when he was gonna run/running for president. The way they confirmed/alluded to killing JFK to spook Hoffa was chilling.

 

[nawghtyhare]

Can’t wait for a black director
To take OUR stories
To create films like these
A great Huey p film in this vein
Or something would be dope
Hell a BMF film told I’m Scorsese type of way
Would be dope as hell

I also thought it was funny that jimmy norton played rickles. that was him right?

I could have sworn I read that Scorsese didn't want to invite conspiracy theorists had he outright said/suggested "the mob killed the Kennedy's".

Just finished watching, had to do it in 2/3 sittings. It was good but long. Could have done without the whole him getting old part.

You talking about the last ~30 mins of the movie?

If so,

that’s the best part.

Action Bronson was funny but unnecessary

 

[onewearz]

I need these frames ASAP!

Look like what the old man had on in Raging Bull

 

[rico x hood]

"Your lawyer's dead "
"He's dead? Who did it?"

That exchange gave me chills also made me a chuckle.

 

[kingkoopa]

Started off a little slow but once Pacino got involved the story took off!

I really don't know much about Hoffa so the story was fresh to me.

DeNiro may be the star but Pesci and Pacino stole the show along with a GREAT supporting cast.

Capone Richard and Gyp lol.

Just needed my man Lucky to make a cameo.

The one that gave me chills was the exchange between Russ & Frank after that altercation with Joe Gallo.

McGee didn’t even have to utter the words. Frank knew he had to go for disrespecting a boss.

Real G’s move in silence with violence.

 

[danger style]

Funniest casting to me was Herc from The Wire as one of the bosses

Pesci playing against type as a measured, calculating boss was so good. My favorite part of the movie.

Herc did a good job but that makeup was a little jarring. Looked like his face was melting.

I enjoyed it as I enjoy any Scorsese film but his shtick is getting old to me.

The world he knew is gone mostly. The "ethnic white gangster" period piece has run its course for me. It's always the same three ethnicities too: Italians, Irish, and Ashkenazi Jews. Maybe I'd be more intrigued if he did a Russian mob film or something about radicalization of Muslims in prison. There's so many ways to come at the ethnic crime category of film. He's good at what he does. He mixes the white immigrant American experience with crime, politics, and weaves it into major historical events. Just wish he'd do something a bit different.

[caleekicks]

Pfft. This goes to show where this generations attention span is at. Don't do this a film a dis-service, if you have the patience of a toddler.

I get what you mean but if he tackled a different ethnic crime group, it wouldn’t feel as organic and it would lack soul imo. Think of when white directors attempt to do a black story... more times than not, I’ve heard people from the black community condemn it.

Marty sticks to what he knows and it works. It feels real and authentic because he grew up surrounded by this environment. And this film is the least glamorous of his gangster films. A more realistic view of it and what the life entails if you make it to old age... Nothing. Time passes on, you’re friends and loved ones either have died or want nothing to do with you because of what the life you lived brought them. Those last 30 mins of the film was some of the best **** I’ve seen in awhile from American cinema.
