The source material this comes from is generally regarded as complete bullshit right?

regardless i think the fate of hoffa was, he was rocking the boat too much and he was killed for it. who did it, where his body ended up being are sort of inconsequential relatively speaking

I gotta think that marty doesn't really believe this dude was the mafia Forrest Gump either, but it works for an entertaining movie.

Even the painting houses thing was not a term used by any other mafiaso ever, just this one specific dude's book deal. Has a nice ring to it though.

I think I also totally missed the way they boosted deniros height and stature to match the real dude..Didn't register once, just like how he was never a defined age to me..just weird or less weird depending on the scene.

deniro 5'10, pesci 5'4, sheeran 6'4

I feel like I should have noticed deniro being an entire foot taller then joe pesci and towering over him..but I never got that sense..cheating an actors height half a foot isn't a small difference

from pg 2

Depends on how young the story calls for, because I definitely feel like the kids they cast in Once Upon A Time In America bring the whole thing to a screeching halt. I wish Leone had just made a whole movie with De Niro and Woods(obviously the story would've needed a re-write).

The Irishman is different though, they could've cast a 25-30 year old actor who is actually talented in their own right, ala Jason Gordon-Levitt in Looper.

I don't remember where I saw it, but the best point I saw made was "if coppola made the godfather part 2 today would he have deaged Brando, or would DeNiro still have been in it?"
