Worth a decade of waiting

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2019)

You know a great movie when you spontaneously think about it the coming days after you've seen it and boy this story has been haunting my thoughts! As a 90s boy I've always wondered what it was like to see the greatest hits of the 70s as they were first released in cinema. When i first heard about this movie 10 years ago I realized this is the close as it's gonna get and prayed for it to be made.
What I loved about the movie is its substantial originality that makes it differ from other Scorsese's gangster movies. It's not about the glamorous lifestyle of made men but rather involved emotionally and in what makes human .. human. It's the greatest most authentic farewell marking an end to a genre that's made people attached to the big screen for decades.
I can't but feel sorrow that such a great masterpiece may not be recognized by the young generation. This takes me back to the days when I was a teen watching all the titles of the 60s and 70s and not being able to share the feelings with my peers. At the end I'm just greatful and thankful this was made.
