In "The Irishman", you will find that the actors you like are all old. Yesterday, the two Corleones galloped with the glory of Italian gangsters. But today the camera stops at De Niro sitting in a wheelchair and choosing the green coffin belonging to the Irish, erasing the last trace of time on a person. In "Once Upon a Time in America", De Niro in his prime shows his makeup in his old age, while the Irishman shows De Niro in his twilight years in his middle age. The existence of films, books, countless works of art, experiencing unseen worlds while alone, staring into time. The same actor will give the audience a commonality. Seeing De Niro look back at "Once Upon a Time in America", I will think of director Leone's solitary hero. Eastwood is wearing a cowboy hat. When you and I look at each other, the revolver around your waist has lost one. bullet. At the end of the film, De Niro said to the priest: leave it open a little bit, he sat alone in the room, looking back at his own era, but he also expected the forgiveness and visit of his daughters, but only got a cavity to dig his own grave. of loneliness. The book says that our starting point is the same, and the end point is Ai Ai dust. The grandfather, who died of cancer, has the same age spots, gray hair and decadence as De Niro in his twilight years in the play. He was lying on the side of the hospital bed with red letters on a white background, his hands resting on the raised railings, and the low dose of morphine had no effect. He muttered to himself on the hospital bed, but his past was also the memory of countless people. Can't choose how to live, how to die; but can decide how to love, how to live.

    "The Irishman" is three and a half hours long, but the amount of information is very large, and there are many people and things involved, so it won't feel difficult to endure. The movie downplays the violent and exciting scenes, telling Frank's life's gains and losses. Although using technology to restore the young looks of the movie kings, the vigorous charm can't come back. This is the memoir of a dying old man, and also the twilight carnival of a generation of film masters. Some people have escaped a bloody fight, but after all they can't escape the torture of time. The last hour's staying power was too great, and the old man was embarrassed. I hope a few old guys can be healthy.

    In public and private, I don’t know why this year’s nostalgia is so nostalgic. I saw a glimpse of Pacino in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", and saw the graceful De Niro in "Joker", since the last time they The same frame should be "Justified Killing" 11 years ago, and the peak of their latest collaboration is also "The Wire of Fire" 24 years ago. The most classic "Godfather 2" is the most classic "The Godfather 2". It's been 45 years. In the rest of my life, of course, I still want to be extravagant again. I have seen the collaboration of representatives of the Hollywood method school many times, but the years have not been forgiving. Perhaps, we have bid farewell to glorious times, but we can't see a little light in the future. Simply, open the miss~
