User: I recently saw THE IRISHMAN.
Assistant: Martin Scorsese's new movie?
User: Yes, it's his fourth mafia-based film.
Assistant: I really liked CASINO and Goodfellas.
User: This one is the same, in that it's based on true stories.
Assistant: Sounds promising.
User: But very different, in that it doesn't glamorize the organized crime lifestyle.
Assistant: Is it preachy?
User: No, but brutally honest. It shows the profound cost of gaining power through brute force. The critics I trust most trust are raving about it.
Assistant: More like MEAN STREETS?
User: Yes! In both films, someone's hubris leads to the demise of those around them.
Assistant: In a way, you could say that about all four movies, no?
