Scorcese Gangster Universe Later Chapters

Rating: 7/10 (28 November 2019)

Just finished watching The Irishman on Netflix. Nice to see a regular dramatic movie for a change. Yes, for today's world, perhaps real acting is too slow, but it is real acting and directing. Martin Scorcese, makes another "mob film" with his usual cast of characters, Joe Pesci comes out of retirement and is fantastic in a very serious role for a change, well acted. Pacino, De Niro (friends, no political comments please, this is about the movie, don't ruin the fun), they all were great. Perhaps maybe not an Academy Award winner. Maybe Pesci. There was a character who sort of reminded me of Joe's part in Goodfellas. This was not a repeat of the other Mob movies with these guys in the past, but we do look for similar elements, and maybe some of the other actors who play the usual mob parts from other productions, but not many. Out of 10 I gave it a 7. This cast is getting old and perhaps one of hte last few as an ensemble they might make. CG effects in aging the actors were amazing
Watch the discussion around the table with the actors and director, after the movie. The actors talked about how the CGI affected their acting, they had to talk and move certain age, it wasn't just makeup. Pretty complex.
