I heard this movie paints houses 9/10

Rating: 9/10 (4 June 2020)

Scorsese had a rough time lately with the whole "marvel" scenario in which his right. But mostly he had a rough time because Netflix were the only ones to work with him on the production of the movie, which is a big flop for the rest of Hollywood that is focused on making franchise films. Anyway "The Irishman" is a fantastic movie well written by Steven Zaillian, with great dialogue, Hollywood's best actors in the world, fabulous story that hasn't been told in this scale yet and much more. The story of Frank Sheeran, the man who worked closely with Jimmy Hoffa and the Italian mafia, his story is told by his point of view and we the audience are aware of everything he's been part of since the 50's. Robert DeNiro does an amazing job and performance, Al Pacino is great with his iconic scenes of yelling and making a big scene out of everything. Joe Pesci is a revolutionary and he plays exactly like in his earlier roles in Goodfellas, Casino and Raging Bull. The movie has other cast members who are great and fun to watch them act. Even though the movie is three and a half hours it is worth every minute of viewing, I think it's possible to stop at the middle if you need a break but overall the length doesn't matter, it's just an interesting story to learn much from. In every Scorsese movie you get to learn something new and interesting, a huge plot and a special motive. that's way his movies are amazing at first look. His movies are obviously "lessons of cinema" that evey film buff should Know and see. The cinematography is absolutely perfect and the set decoration fits the setting well. Something that might be missing is a little more violence. Although the movie has a great story, all of Scorsese's movies have the feature of "the rise and fall of the protagonist", because the story is a little more different than the typical gangster movie, so there is no feature and not much of violence, but maybe it doesn't need anyway? I don't know... "The Irishman" is a fabulous movie that deserved more appreciation and academy awards for it's success. I loved it and definitely recommend, unless you want to get wacked by Joe Pesci.
