I'm wondering how it's going to look in a decade though. I took it as a reference to the very fake Sonny Corleone beatdown in Godfather I. Really great movie. The last 45 minutes (!) are just a series of gut punches.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:There was a lot of that trademark Scorsese humor in there which was great but Matt Zoller Seitz in his review called the movie “95% comedy” which I thought was weird Yeah I thought it was way less humorous than Goodfellas or Wolf of Wall Street--intentionally so.

All three of the performances in this are arguably career peaks. Although Deniro’s baby blues freaked me the gently caress out.

wizardofloneliness posted:Yeah, those were great. I think my favorite was the lone “Well-liked by everyone, died of natural causes” in between all the murders. I really liked how her casting (and the character's position in the story generally) leads us to expect some kind of final moment with DeNiro--which on some level would be cathartic. Instead we get a conversation with another daughter, and we realize that those quiet background characters have been equally hosed up by what he's done.

LesterGroans posted:Man, I keep thinking about Hoffa's death. Pacino is heartbreaking in that last moment. It’s presented in such a sudden, awkward way. The film’s been building to it for hours and then it’s just done.
