Netflix Brings Martin Scorsese's epic vision into existence

Rating: 9/10 (30 November 2019)

The Irishman is a swan song to the gangster film, and method actors of the past. A bygone era of filmmaking by a masterful legendary director. The de-aging technology is hard to adjust to at first but I got used to it.
Netflix allows Martin Scorsese's The Irishman to exist by providing funding for the project other studios could not due to the limitations if their business model. They have to make break even to even start to make a profit, that with marketing costs makes major studios releasing films in theatres risk averse. Netflix is about subscribers and a limited run in theatres for dome of their films to qualify for awards.
