The old men redeem themselves to bring us a good movie

Rating: 8/10 (6 January 2020)

Martin Scorsese is a director considered by many to be the best in history, whether for bringing us movies like "Goodfellas," "Taxi Driver," or how he directs and the way he makes use of music, so When they announced that they would release a new movie, many people got excited because Martin Scorsese does not disappoint and this is no exception, this time he brings us with Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci, actors who had lowered their reputation, a movie 3 h 30 minutes, about Frank Sheeran a former war veteran who ends up getting involved in organized crime becoming his hitman, this is a movie that really is not for everyone because of its long duration, if you are willing to see it you have to prepare , otherwise it won't be possible for you to enjoy it. One of the biggest mistakes of the movie in my opinion are those of rejuvenating the actors, let's be honest Joe Pesci looks like plastic and De Niro is just the same as with the most blue eyes and black hair, I take this as a mistake because they could do much better, I say even a user on YouTube managed to do better. Also to tell the truth the movie is unnecessarily long, it is because the story that it has to tell is a story that frankly can be told in less time, but hey my opinion, maybe for someone the movie feels short and in fact should last longer. Obviously the successes of the film are bigger, the interpretation of Joe Pesci seemed very good, it is different because it is known for playing aggressive characters, in "Goodfellas" I play a violent Gangster who was carried away by emotions and In Home Alone I play a violent man who liked to harass minors. The same can be said of Alpacino and De Niro, great performances, as for the story one would think that it is the typical story of a man who is ascending in the world of the mafia and then falls, narrated intelligently using three timelines each with its purpose, what differentiates this from other gangster and gangster movies is that it focuses more on issues such as friendship or oblivion, therefore it ends up being an interesting and engaging story, and as I said Scorsese manages to execute it very Well, I found the soundtrack great, the uses of music and all that, I liked the environment because it has that touch of "Goodfellas", several scenes are very similar. And that is all I have to say about "The Irishman", so in conclusion "The Irishman is a 3-and-a-half hour movie, which could last less, with good special effects except on the part of rejuvenating Joe Pesci already De Niro, but with great performances, a good direction, a striking environment, a great soundtrack, and a well-adapted script
