Worthy movie.🤝
"The Irishman" is hard to judge as the product that has become cinema in the last couple of decades. In terms of craftsmanship, it was shot, written, played, almost perfect. The three stars here have shown their best acting work in the last couple of decades.
It is a sober, cold, endlessly sad look at a lost life that rhymes with American history of the second half of the twentieth century. 200 minutes with the participation of the brightest lyceums of the world in the production of a live classic look like a huge cake.
“The Irishman” tells the story of gangster America not through biographical references, but through blood, sweat and tears, while with humor, soul and tart taste of nostalgia about past times and cinema, which now, when Hollywood is experiencing.
This is an epitaph of the entire criminal genre, a verdict on the very phenomenon of the mafia and all the films that exploited the theme of “goat nostra” and nice guys in broad-brimmed hats.
The authors’ intent crystallizes in the second half of The Irishman, when you’re stuck in a fishing net of criminal routine and union bureaucracy. It turns out that all this time we watched the biography of the executioner.
“The Irishman” – and indeed the final movie, which absorbed in its 209 minutes, like a black hole, all the Hollywood gangster cinema of the XX century. In short, magnum opus and “the last film”, although, of course, Scorsese will have more than one ace up his sleeve in the coming years.
