Man's romance.

If "Joker" contributed to this year's best solo drama, then it can almost certainly be said that "The Irishman" contributed this year's best group drama (Of course you can't count Marvel's 10-year-old reunion 4) Come in).

When the film’s leading poster came out, the names of Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, and Al Pacino were too heavy. The film was nearly three and a half hours long, and it did not disappoint. Several people Tell you a story flatly and straightforwardly with your own superb performance, a story that makes you reluctant to waste a minute to distract and consider other things. Of course, if you have some understanding of the history of the United States at this time, you should have a sense of substitution. Like what Chen Daoming said in "Infernal Affairs 3": "Some things can change people, and some people can change things." These few people really rely on their own performances to raise the level and texture of this story that is not an ups and downs.

The above was posted on Weibo after watching the movie, and it happened to be posted again after watching another movie today. A few words by the way:

This year’s Oscars, "The Irishman" will accompany the entire run. For many viewers who like old Martin and the old-school "gangster" tune, they may indeed be a bit disappointed. I am indeed surprised, but just like what I saw. This article provides an in-depth analysis of why "Parasite" was so successful. The Oscar judges are now extremely diverse, and so are the audiences. Just as Draper’s boss in "Mad Men" said to him, "Social consumer groups have changed. In the past, beautiful women, luxury cars, and cigarettes constituted the consumption of the entire society...". However, it is true that this diversification makes this year's Oscar one of the few big years in recent years.

Times have changed. The romance of men burns with cigarettes and is washed away by time. The few remaining followers, no matter what happens, we will come back here and paint the wall that we should paint.

In my mind, "The Irishman" is the best film in my mind this year.

    The hero is late, it's not that he can't move or kill, but the rules of the whole world have changed. The good old days in the past had rules and courtesy. They always believed that those who "do wrong" would be punished, that the strong could burn the houses of the weak, and those who acted ruthlessly would have the last laugh. At that time, even the gangs were operating businesses, and any company that didn't care about operating its shareholders would sell its stocks. Unexpectedly, in the end, the gangs/guilds that they thought would last forever fell apart. Only the army of the country can go to Kosovo to burn houses, and the power they have worked so hard for is passing by inexplicably. The world is changing rapidly in a way that they don't understand at all. It turns out that there are no rules and meanings in the universe. The only fair and understandable things turned out to be aging and loneliness.

    Long farewell, endless silence, the hurried old man, is dying, Martin Scorsese, the tombkeeper of the gangster film. Maybe American gangster movies ended in Scorsese, and Japanese gangster movies ended in Takeshi Kitano. It's sad to think about it this way.

The Irishman quotes

  • Jimmy Hoffa: So What? That's what you want from a Number Two. You don't want somebody too smart. You want a nice guy. People like him, you know. Not dumb, but somebody you know you can have walking behind you without getting knifed.

  • Frank Sheeran: Sometimes with something like this, you might want to go to the bathroom first. It gives you a chance to make sure no followed you in. It also gives you a chance to make sure nobody's in the bathroom you have to worry about. It also gives you a chance to go to the bathroom.
