Message: 1) we all get replaced, and the new generation wont even remember or know of you. 2) Scorsese saying how old style of movies are dying and getting replaced by new one

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2019)

I dont know why people dont like long movies. Im ok with long movies as long as they are good...Like this one. Its clever, good actors, good acting and scenes. Well not the one were deniro goes to beat up the guy who hit his daughter haha. Those fighting skills didnt match with the victim movement lol. But yeah good story about mobsters and political figures getting replaced (killed) by new ones. And no matter who you are (jimmy hoffa) how important, powerful, or influential. I mean you can be the president (Kennedy) but if you are affecting a lot of people pockets or image, or you make a lot of noise... they will take you out. And no matter how many people knew you at the time, future generations wont give a rat who you were. They might be born and die without ever knowing of you, because now you are not relevant. Deniro showing how some of this mob guys had to shut off their emotions (killing his best friend hoffa) was amazing. Him calling the wife was a good scene. So yeah that's what I got from it. And maybe even Scorsese saying how big he was and his style of filming was, but now the new generations dont give a rat they about it. they are all about super hero movies which many times are just cheesey and not clever. Just plain simple movies but the new generation loves them. It is what it is... (I like super hero movies too, but I get what he is saying. There are more movies trying to sell than trying to make a deep story this days).
