I don't understand why this movie can get a high score. I think I should use a running account instead of an epic to describe it. Maybe it's because my realm is too low.
Although I have seen great gangster movies such as "The Godfather" and "Once Upon a Time in America" and prefer the two male gods in gangster movies, what I see in "The Irishman" is only procrastination and oldness. What I cannot understand the most is that there are so many meaningless dialogues and scenes in the film, and all the actions seem to be artificially delayed. My expectation for it is the smooth rhythm, the twists and turns and the exciting plot, and the protagonist with distinctive personality. And the immersive sense of substitution, rather than this kind of overly complicated background, time, and character relationships, and deliberately slow down the rhythm of artistic films. The design of the plot is considered to be a complete failure. The whole plot is not disturbed. As a gangster, the hero's journey is even smoother than ordinary people. As for the plot itself, it should be to show the changes in the United States after the war through the grievances of the rivers and lakes. , And then create an epic atmosphere. However, the film wanted to show too many events, multiple main lines mixed together, and too many useless instrumental roles, which made it difficult for ordinary people to clarify, let alone understand and appreciate the plot.
In the end, I feel that the so-called one-shot or blank filming method is simply a failure, and it is also a cancer of the film industry now. There is no other good point except to slow down the rhythm and make you drowsy. On the whole, this movie disappointed me. The only comfort is that De Niro's shots are still cool and handsome.
Gangster movies really shouldn't follow the line of sunshine and snow, but should be closer to the ordinary audience.
