"I'm a painter, and I have great paint skills..."
Such a movie is a review of "The Godfather". There is also the shadow of "Once Upon a Time in America."
The lens is particularly smooth, the tone is golden, there is no darkness in the godfather, so underexposed.
Although adapted from a documentary work, the name of this work should be called "The Death of Hoffa", which is more appropriate.
How the underworld talks about business, how to kill people in the blink of an eye, how to throw a gun, how to take his wife and children out to play, how to talk about the loyalty of the buddies, how to be insulted, how to go to court, and how to stay old are all vividly portrayed.
After three and a half hours, I read it all at once. I feel like a member of a nursing home in front of the TV.

The two protagonists met around Philadelphia. Because Philadelphia is too long, people don't call Philadelphia, but Philly.
"I heard you were painting the house: the closing of Frank "Irish" Sheeran and Jimmy Hoffa" is a 2004 narrative non-fiction work written by former homicide prosecutor, investigator and defense lawyer Charles Brandt, Records an alleged mafia killer and confessed to his crimes committed by working for the Bufarino criminal family.
This book contains 71 pages of background material, mainly detailing the confirmation of the confession that Hiran first exposed in this book. This book is the basis of the 2019 film "The Irishman".
Sheeran's confession about the killing of Jimmy Hoffa and Joe Gallo was refuted by Bill Tonelli's "The Irish Lies", and "Jimmy Hoffa and the'Irish': A True Crime Story?" The author is Harvard Law School professor Jack Goldsmith (Jack Goldsmith), he published in "New York Review of books" (New York Review of books).
The publisher of this book, Bill Tonelli, also responded in detail to an article published by Bill Tonelli. According to Sheeran, the title of the book refers to his first conversation with Hoffa on the phone. Hoffa first said, "I heard you are painting the house"-this is a code for a gangster, meaning Yes: I heard that you murdered, "painting" is the blood splashed when the bullet is shot into the body

In a nursing home in a wheelchair, World War II veteran Frank Sheeran recounted his experience as a mafia killer.
In Philadelphia in the 1950s, Hiran, who had just become a delivery truck driver, began to sell some goods to the local gangster Felix “Skinny Razor” DiTullio. After his company accused him of stealing, union lawyer Bill Bufalino fired him because Hiran refused to disclose the name of his client to the judge. Bill introduced Sheeran to his cousin, Russell Buffalino, the leader of the crime family in northeastern Pennsylvania. After introducing his experience of participating in World War II in Italy, Russell took a shot for Hiran, and he was baffled by him.
Sheeran started working for Russell and members of the local South Philadelphia underworld, including murder. Soon, Russell introduced Jimmy Hoffa, chairman of the International Brothery of Teamsters to Sheeran. He has economic ties with the Bufalino crime family and is working hard with the rising The truck driver Anthony "Tony Pro" Provenzano (Anthony "Tony Pro" Provenzano) dealt with, and at the same time the federal government was under increasing pressure. Hoffa has a close relationship with Hiran and his family, especially his daughter Peggy. Hiran became Hoffa's chief bodyguard on the road.
After John F. Kennedy was elected in 1960, Russell was very excited, while Hoff's Law was furious. Hiran will then help the CIA deliver weapons to overthrow the Cuban government's failed attempt (Bay of Pigs incident). Kennedy's elder brother Robert Kennedy was appointed as Attorney General. He organized a "capture of Hof Act" team to try to defeat Hof Act. Hof Act was eventually arrested and convicted in 1964 for tampering with the jury. In prison, his successor Frank Fitz Simmons began to overspend the pensions of these organizations and issued interest-free loans to the Mafia. The relationship between Hoffa and Pro also deteriorated beyond repair, and Pro himself was arrested for extortion. In 1971, President Nixon pardoned Hof Act, but it was not until 1980 that he was banned from participating in any truck driver activities.
Despite his release on parole, Hoffa plans to regain power in an organized union. Hoffa’s disrespect for the interests of other captains and related criminal families began to worry Russell. In October 1973, to commemorate Sheeran, at a memorial dinner, Russell told Sheeran to confront Hoffa and warned him that the head of the criminal family was dissatisfied with his behavior. Hoffa then told Hiran that he "knows" things Russell and others didn't know, he knew, and further claimed that he was untouchable because if anything happened to him, they would end up in prison.
In 1975, when they went to the wedding of Bill's daughter, Russell told Sheeran that the matter had reached the breaking point with Hoffa, and his death had been approved. Russell reluctantly tells Sheeran that he has been chosen as the person to do this because he fears that he will try to warn or save him. The two drove to the airport, where Sheeran boarded the plane to Detroit. Sheeran told Hoffa that he would enter the city early in the day, but arrived late that afternoon. Hoffa originally planned to meet with Pro and Anthony Jacaron at a local restaurant, but he was surprised to see Sheeran and Hoffa’s unsuspecting adopted son Chucky O’Brien and another gangster Thrall.” "Sally Bags" Briglio arrived by car together. They suggested that Hoffa transfer the meeting to Provanzano and Russell’s houses; Sheeran assured Hoffa that everything was fine and he sat in the car with them. As soon as he entered the house, Hoffa found that no one else was there, and believed that he was framed. He turned and left the house, when Hiran shot him twice at close range, and then left the gun and the body at the door. After Hiran left, the two young bandits took Hoff's body to the crematorium to remove all traces of him.
After the fifth grand jury investigation into the disappearance of Hoffa, Hiran, Russell, Provenzano and others were finally convicted on various charges, none of which had anything to do with Hoffa’s murder. They started one by one. Died in prison. Sheeran was eventually released and placed in a nursing home. He tried to reconcile with his estranged daughter, but Peggy severed all contact with him. Sheeran began to see a Catholic priest being assigned to a nursing home. The priest pardoned Hiran in his room. When the pastor left, Sheeran was alone in the room, imitating Hoffa's habit and asked the pastor to open the door a bit.
