Also Al Pacino is f***ing hilarious in this. He was my favorite in this on first watch even tho I’m more of a Deniro fan in general
Wish Marty just went full NY and said this
F*** those polite essays
deadass lmfao. everyone already thinking it anyways
Lmao wym?
I understand the quote but this NY
S*** can happen that causes u to be late out of your control

Most definitely. I just f*** wit the principle and mindset. Idk I’m a real prideful person so I can relate to not waiting.
If it’s a family member or close friend then sure. But not for an acquaintance or date
Idk about y'all but when you grow up in a certain type of environment these films and actors are some of your greatest inspiration and heroes in life.
And with that being said, I'm not gon' lie when I say that it not only hit me as a fan but on a personal level too. It caught me off guard. You shouldn't however go in expecting another Goodfellas or Casino, it's not very fast paced or flashy (teetering on the grandiose, glamorized) but a subtle, wise and melancholic look in the aftermath of what once was and could be. There's a lot of space and breathing room between takes with sharp commentary and symbolism that's also worth discussing, especially the last 30 or so minutes which is pure perfection imo.
Last shot got me. The layers
Note: If you find one specific actor/actress underutilized in this film Anna Paquin's keep the last shot and end in mind.
Bro you couldn’t be more right. I feel like films like Godfather, Goodfellas, Casino, Scarface and even this really teachers you rules to live by in ur own personal life.
It’s no wonder why most rappers claim Deniro and Pacino as they favorite actors.

Yeah, they're like superheroes growing up. A sense of relatability in the characters they choose to tackle, the attitude and setting almost feel like home that's why a lot of people from rougher backgrounds or neighborhoods hold them to these high regards it's like they speak for us y'know
Felt kinda a drag with the run time maybe cus I’m off very little sleep but otherwise I really loved this story. Nothing too complicated just a great showcase
How does Marty still do it man

hes just gotten a lot more experienced and smarter with age. His films this decade have been easily his most thought-provoking, nuanced, and structurally experimental ever. Going back to his older films, it is just funny how straight forward they are in comparison.
Mann
Al Pacino still has it. Give him a good script and a good director and he will steal the show.
Overall I thought the movie was alright. It was too grounded for it to have epic scenes IMO

Dam it limited it, had to delete my post it spoiled some things
Edit: I'll just do this

Sense of camaraderie (referring back to Hoffa's warmth and gestures) and wanting to feel loved and yearned by friends and family again. Seeing where this life has taken him, the "last man standing" is not only literal. Also going back to how much more he could have done as a father (Paquin's character in particular) bringing his work home (to his defense not voluntarily) not being someone to open up to cause of his overprotective nature and infamous name and actions on the street hindering his kids to see him for just a "father", thus his daughter falling out with him not knowing his toxicity is what lead her projecting a father onto another man with a kinder and more welcoming history. In the end all the fuss and fights dosen't seem worth it, killing a man so vocal in his and his families life. His daughter sort of works in as a mere backdrop and a moment of clarity, representing the denial and eagerness of a man shadowing their feelings and walks. In the last 30 or so minutes we see him going out his way trying to make amends to what he's lost, whether that's burials or trying to rekindle relationships. In what he can't say in words he tries to do with action (again, opening up is a vulnerable thing which goes hand in hand with most of the themes in the film. Unnecessary outcomes that could be spared if a discussion just would be held between these men the whole Hoffa and Russ segments in the ballroom great great allegories, confessing your admiration and love for someone but not being able to say that firsthand cause of what would be called 'toxic masculinity' today).
I'm saying all this to say it's more than a callback that's his last gesture in the film of wanting you back in (whether it's Hoffa, his daughter/family), for what he lacks in words he tries to convey in other forms but that hardly does anything. It can't be read. It's very reflective and contemplative. A bittersweet moment, last man standing but with what in his life now who's even having a hard time sharing an earnest talk with God. Then there's this whole Scorsese angle you can take, growing old fading, legacies, closing chapter to mobster films sorta like what Once Upon A Time meant to its genre and Quentin. F***, I'm rambling I know I'm forgetting some things don't even know if I make sense now it's on the fly but oh well lol

Word bro this was a great breakdown thanks! Definitely gonna give this more than one watch I really loved it. Some my favorite actors, one my favorite directors and a great story. Good old monsters s*** with layers.
Probably best film of the year for me .
One of scorsese' best but after first watch would still prefer some others over this still but it's great without a doubt
this story reminds me of the assassination of jesse james by the coward robert ford, wich is my favorite movie
damn
Man I had a f***in feeling that was Domenick Lombardozzi playing Fat Tony. They disguised him well.

I gotta hope this is a good renounce for him and DeNiro
Al Pacino got with Tarantino, now this and Peele
Then DeNiro did the Joker now this and another Scorsese WITH DICAPRIO OTW
HAARRRDDDRDD
