The Irishman

ian shared a tip "This is an excellent story, wonderfully told and with incredible acting. Its well worth the 3.5 hour investment. Now, if you are expecting the Godfather, you may be disappointed as it didn't reach those heights (really high bar), but an outstanding movie in its own right."

Scott.Iverson shared a tip "A very good movie. Yeah its long but pause it in the middle, stretch your legs, make some popcorn and finish watching. The movie is so good the time goes by effortlessly."

mixar_lopez shared a tip "'BLAME and DEATH'   ('The Irishman' by Martin Scorsese)   By Mixar López       Violence is always due to counter-violence, that is, by a reply to the violence of the other.   Critique of Dialectical Reason (1960), Jean Paul Sartre   There is no truth that a camera directed by Martin Scorsese cannot capture. Even if she's buried under six inches of digital makeup. In 'The Irishman' (2019), his passion for life project and his priority above all scripts and productions, the legendary filmmaker cashes a blank check that he has kept in the back pocket of his pants for decades, redeeming it indefinitely in bond execution and a budget that would normally be allocated to the kind of movies he likes to compare to bland rides in theme parks ('Marvel'). Released on 'Netflix' after a theatrical, bombastic and very unconventional display, 'The Irishman' is a story about men who are reconciling with their MORTALITY, both in front of and behind the camera (in mirroring with the actor). It is certainly not a film that not even Scorsese - in all its immortal splendor - could have made as a young man. It is both dense and detailed (as certified by an OCD patient), yet it feels oddly grounded in the plot. At a staggering two hundred minutes (three joints, approximately), 'The Irishman' requires the kind of commitment you've probably not made since the last time you trusted Ashutosh Gowariker (known for directing movies set on a large canvas while he boasted of an opulent treatment ”). Unlike the director of 'What's Your Rashee' (2009), Scorsese remains one of the few living filmmakers - other than Nuri Bilge Ceylan and Quentin Tarantino - who can justify a long running time in their films. As long as 'The Irishman' is, it feels like a movie, not an uncut miniseries. Although many of you, inhabitants of the country of streaming television, could consume it as one."

matthew_dubanik shared a tip "Only if you have a spare 3 and a half hours to spare. It's a fine movie by the legend Scorsese but man do you feel that runtime. Not the masterpiece I hear people always saying but it is good. I much prefer Good Fellas and The Departed. Can't remember where I heard it but this is a perfect description: a near 4 hour deep dive into the unions with some mafia fun facts peppered in."

bouwer_marc shared a tip "So boring and incredibly long with an endless list of familiar faces does seem to be so pleased with themselves just to be in this film"

k_isaacs shared a tip "I dont recommend this one. I'm a huge fan of mob themed movies and shows but this one seems forced and out dated. And soooooo long. If this piques your interest try the Departed. It has Leo,Matt Damon, and the great Jack Nicholson. Pretty much the same movie anyway."

matthew_blanco shared a tip "Of course! There are so many, if you like mob type movies there the classics like, "Goodfellas" and "Casino" but I prefer the books from those movies. It really depends on the mood I'm in as to what genre I go with."

matthew_blanco shared a tip "Honestly, there have few that have the story like this, but the book, "Wise guys" was adapted very well into, "Goodfellas" I will say the book of Casino was way better than the movie. The movie closet to this style of the story it's giving is.... "The Many Saints of Newark" Yes, it's a prequel to Sopranos, but it's a great tribute to the show with Gandolfini's son playing his real life dad in the past 🤯 also gives some insight to the whole series at the same time"

sonya_reid shared a tip "Gave me a better understanding of what could have (probably did) happen to Hoffa....I’m to lazy to research on my own so I’ll bite."

casey_linnell shared a tip "Best movie I've seen all year. Long but so so worth it. Exemplary performance by everyone involved. The camera techniques for aging are amazing."

cannon_walker shared a tip "An amazing movie that really embodies the lives of these men. It’s long but fairly easy to break it into parts and it won’t mess up the experience of it."

yaira_calderon shared a tip "Yaira is a great resource to work on the only thing you need from a few of these and grow up and grow in a way for them and they will never make you happy with their life in their lives or in a place where you are the only one that is a good friend and you want me and grow in the best way of my knowledge of your time and energy to work on this project with you heard and I hope to be able help you with your business as well as well as well as well as"

trip_in. shared a tip "This movie was technically good. The acting, directing and writing all top shelf but it was too long and I wasn't crazy about some of the anti-aging effects. I was sad that all my childhood film icons looked so old now."

Ivan_Oozie shared a tip "If you have short attention span may not be for you especially cuz I felt this movie was better the second time. Scorsese real knock it out the park this one get so many great actors to give great memorable performances the setting and the music create great atmosphere I love it. The movie inspired me to get the audiobook which is about fifteen hours so honestly Scorsese really distilled the story of the book and show the confliction in frank in Roberts performance."

mitchell_combden shared a tip "De Niro, Pesci, and Pacino give top notch performances, the script is great and the direction is flawless. Truly one of the best crime movies of all time. 9/10"

gary_dyer shared a tip "It originated on Netflicks and saw it there. Always facinated by movies and stories of this nature. Really gets you thinking but l believe it's already been debunked as to how it really happened. Love anything Scorcese does and was happy to see Joe Pesci out of retirement for this one. As far as film making goes...top notch."

._9604 shared a tip "It's a return to form for the classic gangster movies like the god father once upon a time in america good fellas etc if you liked those you'll like this"
