How long does it take to perform to a legendary performance of the Metabolic Act? Martin Scorsese brought the Irishman for three and a half hours.
The film adopts a two-line flashback method. Through the late-year De Niro's Frank Shereen, he exposes the process of an unsettled historical case. In the narrative of the memory, he calmly and stoically develops the events of nearly half a century and changes the characters. The tide of history and the changes of the times come slowly. We can see the undercurrents under the times, the ups and downs of gangs, and the epic. Because he was not born in Sicily, Frank, who later became a killer, was awarded the title of Irishman by Buffalino played by Joe Pesci, who was regarded as his son. At the beginning of the film and Frank met Hoffa played by Pacino for the first time. "I heard you "Paint houses" is the black word on the underworld that kills people and splashes blood on the wall; the way Frank and Buffalino eat bread and drink several times can't help but reminiscent of religious rituals and fatalism. This is the epic shooting method.
After watching the movie and searching for related information, I discovered that Martin Scorsese Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Joe Peixi are both close to 80 years old. In this era, there are already CG technologies that can surpass real facial capture. Ten I was stunned by Benjamin Button’s curious event a few years ago. I can’t fully react to it. Playing the hot character Hoffa looks energetic Pacino is 79 years old, but De Niro kicked the grocery store owner up. His trembling legs remind me that this is a middle-aged man played by an old man. The last time I watched these two actors in the same frame was probably the stolen line of fire in 1994, and their movies when they were in their prime are the Godfather and the United States, and that was already in the 7th and 80s of the last century.
The era that belongs to the past in the United States has passed. Some time ago, Martin criticized the theme park of Marvel movies and caused a lot of controversy. People are not so easy to live. The innovation of media and the development of technology stick people to the surface of life like sticky sugar water. If possible, we are not willing to sink into the deep lake bottom, where there is no bright light and sweetness. The excitement is really not worth it. When Martin won the Oscar with the adaptation of the screenplay Infernal Affairs in 2008, I didn't understand it, but the old Martin was like Frank in the movie, with gray hair still tirelessly determining some things. We may never see these people in the same frame on the screen anymore. This is a real curtain call.
The curtain call is always lonely, just like Frank Shereen went to buy himself a coffin alone in his old age. When the accident occurs, no one will remember, no one will care, no one will be defeated, no one will win, and society will have a speed that they cannot understand. The method developed rapidly, and power eventually dissipated between the roll-ball game in the nursing home and the church. The young people no longer knew the union chairman who was so powerful that year. The national machinery dropped the bomb in Kosovo on the TV screen, and Frank experienced the broken wall in Western Europe 50 years ago. What's the difference between the ruins? The hustle and bustle of the era they experienced was like screaming and disappearing in the wind. Only old age and loneliness are real, and only birth and death are fair. Therefore, Martin Scorsese fixed the reason and time of their death when each character appeared on the scene. Life is what happened between these two points in time. In the play, this is fate. But what a real life is not, no matter what kind of person you choose to be, what kind of things you do, live chic or forbearance, in the end, you will not escape aging, and you will find that we are born lonely when we are approaching the end of life. But pushing the stone up the mountain over and over again is a meaning in itself, to establish a stele for the past, and everything that has existed is great.
Ozu Yasujiro said that life and movies are based on the aftertaste of winning or losing, but winning or losing is not important. I was deeply moved by the movie. The grief and admiration that I felt after watching the Irish, the vicissitudes and emotions made me unforgettable . At the end, Frank Shereen, alone in the ward, asked to leave a gap in the door, just like the hotel suite when he first saw Hoffa thirty years ago. The road was like an abyss, and the past surged and disappeared, and the darkness swallowed everything.
A digression, I was watching a movie at home the day before going skiing. On the way back, the moon was on the roof of the car. I chased the moon all the way. The lights in the wasteland were blurred out of the car windows. On the way to return the car, I saw the sky over LAX. There are several light spots floating, and my friend told me that the plane was waiting in line for landing. Going home from the exit of the expressway, Beverly blvd heads west, and the hill between Union ave and Bonnie Brea st can see the whole beverly hill spread to the west. The lights, I like the stars and lights in the dark night.
