Another Scorsese movie

Rating: 8/10 (4 February 2020)

This is a typical Scorsese movie, a movie that stands in the same line with (good fellas) and (casino)... a gangster film that begins with the gangsters seem to own the world: money, power.... every thing seems possible. gangsters are on the top of the society, they have enough power to put whom they want on the top of the unions or the top of the country! and - when needed - the power to remove or even kill them.
That is only in the beginning! as the time passes our protagonists begin to lose what they cumulate, after a while they realize that money is not every thing, money can not buy love, it can buy fear but not respect... this seems like a cliche but Scorsese does it in a very clever way that you will never feel that.... yes; Scorsese movies have a very strong moral message, but he never delivers this message in a direct preaching way, rather, he does that in a very artistic way.... Scorsese is a master in story telling.
The gangsters are always doomed, and whatever power they own, or money they make... all this is destined to fade away, by betrayl, conflict with others and in this movie; by time itself! after many years, Frank Sheeran finds that all those whom he cared for are either dead or don't care about him..... his strength is gone... his friends have passed away.... even his beloved daughter had abandoned him, the same daughter that he was about to murder some one just for her eyes. This is a good movie,may be not quite new, but it still - like all Scorsese movies- a must see.
