What a Treat Loss

Rating: 9/10 (30 November 2019)

This movie once again goes to prove that no matter how BAD of a guy you are. how heartless and ruthless you're, when the end is near you need someone to care about you "Your family".
The need to believe in a deity who you never ever gave a thought to when you were young and powerful who may relieve you of your sins arises cause your end is clearly near and you've been a cold blooded painter all your life. You may not have cared about other people, their emotions and needs but you somehow come to care for your own. And the bitter realization in the end strikes really hard when you come face to face with the fact that all that you did meant nothing. The people that were so important and the waves you created which you thought changed lives and made a difference mean absolutely nothing now.
What a treat loss
Loss of Time, Youth, Efforts, Emotions, Friends And most of all
LOVE.
A Must Watch
PS:
I've been anticipating about the scene where Jimmy was killed by Frank. On one hand I love that in the scene the director didn't show us Jimmy's face when Frank killed him, but on the other hand I really wanted to see both the great actors showing the complex emotions. Pacino the unbelievable betrayal by his most trusted accomplice and most of all I wanted to see how D Niro would face the man who he owes everything to while taking a shot at him. I feel like we were deprived of a spectacular piece of acting in the movie.
All the major actors and the director of the movie have crossed their 70s, some are well onto their 80s, I fear that we won't see a masterpiece of this Calibre again. We might be bidding farewell to mafia movies for good...
