>>216511652A Martin Scorsese Joint
Why do they keep reusing the same handful of actors in mob movies? Kind of immersion breaking to be desu.
>>216511764Blessed
>the glass door completely breaking after just barely even scratching up against it
>>216511652>no sells the worked kicksYou sell like that in the ring, I’ll tag you for real.
>>216511824Directors often like reusing actors they are familiar with I guess, it might make it easier to work
>>216511652This film was a really mixed bag. The third act of this film is genuinely great, probably one of the best out of Scorsese's films, but the other 2/3rds is just filled with stuff like this.
I think this guy got scammed by his glazier, that shit shatters into a thousand pieces just by softly closing the door.
>>216511877NoFucking goombahs from one specific generation do this
This is Scorsese's equivalent of the flower shop scene in The Room.
Scorsese is overrated as fuck. No one cares about the American mob anymore. They haven't for decades. It's not interesting. It's a bunch of obese Italians in suits killing other obese Italians in suits.
>>216511652This is Scorcese's Avatar.
>>216511652I put this shot up there with the Alien shot of Ash's head on the table. It's better to cut and hide parts of a shot that failed rather than keep it as is just because it's continuous or wide angle or whatever the fuck look you were going for. It breaks suspension of disbelief on so many levels. The glass breaking on the door is shit, but it's the least offensive part of this whole scene. One, the girl on the left is a horrible actor. She's completely unfazed by the entire ordeal except for a single close up shot that breaks continuity with the before/after wide angle shot where she's in la la land. The most offensive part being the attack. You could easily cut between some close ups of Robert's angry face from the victims perspective, and a shot of a leg/boot crushing down on the guys hands (which doesn't have to be Roberts). A viewer will accept what is implied to be happening provided there's nothing jarring that takes them out of the scene. When you concern yourself over some jerk-off wide shot or continuous shot instead of story telling, you're failing as a director. Scorsese knows this shit, but he's just a lazy fuck now.
>>216512245Very good post
>>216512245unc thinks he's a film director :skull:
>>216511930The Irishman is easily one of Scorcese's most mature, introspective and well-researched films. The story and dialogue and characters are so real and the whole story just feels so connected and wonderfully written. The directing is very good, and the de-aging effects you more or less forget about half an hour in. This film could never have been made, and some argue it shouldn't have. But Scorcese did, and made a beautiful fucking piece of cinema, albeit yes, flawed. It was different from his previous mob films. You could argue it was a creative choice to use all these tough guys like Joe Pesci, De Niro and Pacino that audiences know are raging, psychopathic mobsters in Scorcese films, and turning them into flawed, sympathetic characters who don't act fantastical or egotistic. It's a very small film, about a lot of detail and feels very, very intimate. It's by no means perfect, but I love the film and I admire Scorcese and everyone making it, even if it did feel like the actors were skeletons being dragged onto set.>>216512245Wonderful post.
Netflix has never produced a single a good movie. Not one single one.
>>216511652Holy shit what a fucking beat down!
>>216512529They need to start making adult film content.Its time.
>>216512461Based
>>216511652A younger De Niro would have made this scene kino.
really boring
>>216512422Actually I'm an editor, but I've directed several personal projects. Editing and directing go hand in hand. In fact, I'm of the belief you should never direct anything until you've cut together a variety of different projects. Or at least heavily familiarized yourself with its concepts. I can't tell you how many times I'd be editing a project wishing I had just a few more seconds of a particular shot, or wish they would have shot some inserts that were borderline essential.You really don't know what you're going to need sometimes until you've been in the position of needing it before.
>>216511972It was a union job ya see
FRANK NOOOOO! PLEASE GOD NOT THE-AAAGH! GET YOUR HIGH HEELS OFFA ME!!!! PLEASE NO, DON'T STUMBLE ONTO MY HAND AGAIN! ANYTHING BUT YOUR OLD MAN SHAMBLE ON STILTS!!! NO...NO NO NO IS THAT AN ARTHRITIS HEEL?? AGHHH

>>216511652So, is this movie worth wqtching? I'm about to go on vacation and this one's been in my backlog for some time.
why can't boomers accept they're old now
>>216513276It's shit
>>216513311I like it
>>216511824Back in the old days with classic movies, the same actor who starred as a detective in a noir film would be repeatedly cast as a detective in more movies while also staying with one studio.
Why not cast another actor for the young Irishman? Why is it a sin to have different actors playing opposite ends of a characters life all of a sudden? De Niro did it himself with Vito Corleone
>>216511652LMFAO
>>216513303this is already horrifying, but knowing she's like 70 years old on top of looking like that is even more horrifying
>>216513323I know, lots of people praised it which made we wonder if I had shit taste but I just can't get over the poor craftmanship in this movie
>>216512910>>216513181Shut up and return to /int/ – international, you gay Bavarian.
>>216513685hehehehhe
>>216513527I think Scorsese wanted to have De Niro one last time in a spotlight70 year old De Niro looking 50 and playing 20 year old guy was ridiculous but also a little based, an homage if you will
>>216513653>The Emperor Has No ClothesSometimes you need to trust your own instincts.It was horrible fucking cash grab slop and every single person involved should be fucking embarrassed about it.Completely shits on the legacy with the fury of a thousand pajeets.

>>216513721>Sometimes you need to trust your own instinctsI wish I had instincts to trust but I don't know what an instinct is
>>216512245I don't remember Ash's decapitated head from the Alien movie because I watch Aliens a lot more. It's fine to have some movies with a lot of cuts and some movies having longer shots. The opening of Vampires was pretty cool with the guys taking down the vampires and that was a lot of frenetic cuts but the Akira Kurosawa film with the Emperor and his body double in the beginning where you see full body shot and a long continuous take as they talk was also fine. Just because I ask AI for more information about how old movies shot their films doesn't necessarily mean that I want every film to have longer shots or have more ones. I also enjoy the Transformers film from Bay and those are faster paced and frenetic and not like old Hollywood films.With that being said, I do wish more films these days stop relying on green/blue screen and outsourcing the computer imagery/effects to pajeet studios in India. Would like them to shoot more on location and use Japanese and American studios to do the CGI. And the directors can go ahead and use quick, shorter cuts or go old Hollywood and use longer cuts while pulling the camera back a bit to see more of the characters. Whichever style suits them.
>>216513752*more "oners"
There’s another bit where Deniro has to clamber over some rocks to throw his gun in the river, and he climbs the rocks very gingerly, like he’s afraid he’ll slip and break his hip (which he is afraid of IRL), then he does this really pathetic underarm throw into the water, like a girl. Like, imagine Mr Burns throwing a gun. That’s what it looks like.
>>216513749Just play a game of pretend where your not retarded and everyone else is.Its that simple.Just play pretend.
>>216513789I don't remember this scene, link please! Sounds hilarioius
>>216513802you got it
>>216511764>when your leg falls alseep and you try to walk
>>216511652how many people on set saw this and realized de niro was too old and that the character wasn't going to work? do you think marty in his heart of hearts knew he'd fucked up either during filming or during the edit? or is the cult him him so strong that everybody on set including himself genuinely believed this was a good scene?
>>216511844this is the part that always gets me
HELLO???????????
>>216513718De Niro would get the spotlight anyway and why not give an up and coming actor a break playing young Frank. Instead it's a fiasco with doddering Bobby and his geriatric gait trying to sell us he's in his twenties
>>216514158because scorsese is a fucking retarded boomer hack?
>>216514201So is Coppola but he didn't get Brando back to play 20 year old Vito Corleone because it's absurd to anyone

>>216511764Scorsese’s masterpiece, truly
>>216513577In the 90s it seemed like we were at the end of history, but the question remained what would happen after the "end of history" and we are now looking at the answer.>AI about to totally change the job market and render people with university education and decades of experience obsolete>AI also affecting warfare and creating guided drone bombs, where millions over the internet see surrendering soldiers killed in cold blood without any of the dignity given to those who died in the great war or anything like the christmas truce or the red baron escorting a damaged bomber>deranged populist demagogues (both left and right)>israel just up and genocides the gaza strip and nothing really happens>more likelyhood of nuclear war than any year during the cold war due to putin's volatility and trump's bizarre responses>white people becoming a hated pariah after trump is finished and america is mostly brown and boomers die off more and no longer vote>DEI, transsexualism pushed on kids et cetera..>billions of indians wanting to migrate and suddenly displacing white people with their low birthrates>not even japan and korea can avoid it with their even lower birth rates and bizarre cult-like leadership>the most advanced tech is dirt cheap and even global southerns possess it yet necessities are getting more and more expensiveon top of this, 4chan is banned in britain in 4 days, everything is changing, I knew it when AI became a thing that everything was shifting, things are going to changeI fear many here will die poor and I can't stress enough how much we need to adapt and change with it, not our core principles I mean, our love of the truth no matter how unpopular it makes us, just how we handle practical matters, look for a frumpy christian woman, build a likeminded community, it is possible to make money, just do the jobs no one else wants and indians are too corrupt and untrustworthy to do, live beneath your means and invest the surplus sensibly

What's crazy is that this snoozefest is samwitched in between Silence (pure kino) and Killers of the flower moon (flawed kino)I guess him not being the Irishman could be the cause, but writing octogenarians as young whippersnappers definitely took its toll Marty's still got it and Dinero's got it as long as he's actually playing an old man
