Heroes are late, but fortunately we catch up.

Three and a half hours later, watching the screen slowly turn black, I can't feel the time. It's really a pity. If they could go back to when they were really young, wouldn't their performances be more exciting?

Robert De Niro, 76, Al Pacino, 79, Joe Pesci, 76, and Martin Scorsese, 77. Four seniors who have long since made their mark tell us a story about time using their last film together.

Maybe I'll never see a rivalry like this again. Fortunately, I can still see the style at the end of the hero's twilight years.

In the dialogue, I felt the flash of light in my eyes. Under the camera, with the progress of the plot, I felt the passage of time little by little. Finally, there was a light and shadow with a gap. We waited for the shady scene.

"This is my union" When Jimmy started emphasizing "mine", I knew that the tide was over, and all that was left was to see how it would leave.

We gave up Jimmy for our benefit, damn" (I picked us over him).

When the FBI asks Frank, everyone is dead, who are you protecting?

When the pastor asked if he was guilty, if he could say everything, there was only one murmur: Who would make a phone call like that? Ask again, keep silent, avoid answering.

Perhaps the hope left behind by disappearance is far better than the damage caused by death. Perhaps to maintain the loyalty and firmness of what he has done, perhaps to protect his identity and the interests of the past group. The step you took can never be turned back.

This switch comes from: family members are gone, orphans in nursing homes prepare cemeteries and coffins for themselves.

The glory of the past is long gone, and young people no longer know how persistent the "Elvis" was...

I gained the whole world, but lost the whole world.

    The timing of the editing is uncomfortable. Unreasonable shots that cross the axis and implanted ads appear randomly. The close-range blows must be inserted in the melee combat. Only certain sports shots and jump cut calculations... Suddenly, the scene will become pros and cons. The plot is boring and loose but there are not many details that are touching. The supporting role in the family is sometimes visible and forgettable. No wonder the daughter finally said "You don't know what we have gone through"-the audience does not know. This makes the lonely ending with limited depth and lack of strength—maybe I wanted to express "the life of a gangster is so unpretentious, plain and boring", but after class fights with guns and explosives, even if history is manipulated More shallow than conspiracy theories. The performance is only to the degree of vividness and believability. Would rather watch "You Have Never Been Here" or even "Green Book"

    From being stupid, to murderous, to arrogant, and finally into the sky, the life of a gang killer is also the epitome of an era. Old Martin, heart-wrenching, old and strong, is an epic blockbuster when he shoots.

The Irishman quotes

  • [first lines]

    Frank Sheeran: [narrating] When I was young, I thought house painters painted houses. What did I know? I was a working guy. A business agent for Teamster Local 107 out of South Philly.

    Frank Sheeran: One of a thousand working stiffs... until I wasn't no more. And then I started painting houses... myself.

  • Whispers DiTullio: To tell you the truth, I'm a little concerned.

    Frank Sheeran: [narrating] Whenever anybody says they're a little concerned, they're very concerned.

    Whispers DiTullio: As a matter of fact, I'm really more than a little concerned.

    Frank Sheeran: [narrating] And when they say they're more than a little concerned, they're desperate.
