The film ends with Frank (Robert De Niro) begging the priest to make a crack in his door, "I'm used to it," he says, and then the director looks through the crack and gives the aging him a panoramic shot, and then again. Cut to close-up, and finally freeze back to the previous panoramic shot. This ending can be skipped to connect Frank and Hoffa (Al Pacino) not long after they met, they became friends immediately, a gang member and a union leader lived in an apartment, Hoffa used to leave a gap in his bedroom door , there's Frank over there ”, the two immediately scuffled together and have not been able to get over the beam since then. Hoffa distrusts gang members and keeps a distance from them. He is like a rock star, walking between black and white gangs, but he has to join forces with them. After Kennedy came to power, the union that supported Nixon was severely suppressed. His brother Robert Kennedy took a stint as attorney general and then began a liquidation against Hoffa. The Kennedy administration's vain actions in the Bay of Pigs brought Castro to power in Havana, the gangs were affected in Cuba's casinos, and after a series of inexplicable operations (the murderer immediately abdicated and said it was a personal act, and more than 100 witnesses disappeared), Kennedy was headshot in Dallas, and Hoffa was released from prison. Al Pacino played out Hoffa's utterly responsive vibe as he stepped up to the stage, and the audience was as engrossed as they were at a rock music (or Li Yang's Crazy English) scene. Scorsese likes to use slow motion to present this kind of carnival, which requires a lot of group performances, but it can also present a psychedelic effect of "getting big". Pacino, De Niro and Pesci appeared together, and it was a visual feast not to be missed anyway. In this film, Pacino continues his classic performance paradigm in "Scent and Knows a Woman": a passionate character whose voice is always louder than the people around him, not in the most famous gangster film "The Godfather" series. , the melancholy and extravagant Michael Coleone who is out of tune with the brothers around him. De Niro is a thug in the film, a faithful life-sucking gun. The young and middle-aged Frank should be similar to the ruthless character in "Taxi Driver", with a slightly raised jaw. , but in this film he will be more restrained, should not say "You talkin' to me? ”, he would shoot right away and leave the scene calmly. Part of Hoffa’s misfortune stemmed from a gullible belief in Frank. The latter was like his housekeeper, bodyguard, counselor and brother, but the latter was from the gang – obedience over brotherhood The protagonists of The Irishman and The Godfather both like to emphasize: I want to protect my family. Ironically, both films protect a void, Michael Coleone lost his wife and daughter, and so did Frank, but not lost Their lives, he lost their love. He stressed to his daughters that I protect you, and they asked "From what? So family here, family, famiglia, refers to the more abstract, gangsters' own circles. They gather to eat, meet, think about who to get rid of, and always struggle with "Gone too far," "Show no respect", "Touched my dauhgter" and stuff like that. Frank's in that sort of thing, and Hoffa is unfortunate, he's gone too far. The first half of the film is old Martin's, like in Goodfellas. , the gang members hesitated. Dare to stop? Then shoot him twice in the back of the head. Russ, the boss played by Pesci, is not angry, even a bit of Marlon Brando in "The Godfather 1". The turning point is the death of Hoffa, and since then After that, the rhythm of the film suddenly changed, and it began to become solemn and slow. After shooting his best friend, Frank himself did not confess, but he kept looking for the priest, and when the deadline was far from coming, he said that some people died It's time to say it, praying for the cleansing of sins. De Niro's best performance is when he calls Hoffa's widow Jo after the fact, he stutters so much that he can't express it, the audience can say he is nervous, Jo can think he is Too sad that people inside and outside the fourth wall can't exchange views, only Frank's daughter Peggi seems to be vaguely aware of something, but she keeps her mouth shut. All suspected gangsters, including Frank and Russ, have been During the interrogation, they arrogantly invoked the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, but they all got jail time, but none of them had anything to do with Hoffa's death. Russ, who suffered a stroke and lost all his teeth in prison, still eats meat and blood (wine) dipping bread), still gone too far when referring to Hoffa, and saying ferociously to Frank: Fuck'em, fuck' em, fuck'em! Curse the higher-level power that requires him to choose among the three forces to protect himself. De Niro performed Frank's confused, or in other words, a state of old age. He dragged his waist and legs injured and damp in the trenches, struggling to find a home for himself, and trying to reconcile with his daughter. He believes that apart from the fact that life and death are doomed, the rest of the process is more random, the occurrence of World War II is random, entering the gang is random, encountering Hoffa is random, he is just in an inappropriate At the point of time, it was passively involved. The other part of Hoffa's misfortune, as Frank's philosophy of life says, is fate. Wandering on the walls of black and white, watching this fall, that one rises, holding power in an environment where arrows are flying all over the sky, chatting and laughing, and finally being able to die peacefully, that is almost impossible, Frank's subconscious sentence "who did this" ?" , is the best summary, in just three words, the endless sinister of the rivers and lakes. The movie is adapted from the original book "I Heard You Painted the Wall". The real Frank Shereen confessed to the author that he killed Jimmy Hoffa. In reality, the police found the house where Frank said the crime was committed, and even found the blood on the wall (of course, was whitewashed), but sadly doesn't match Hoffa's DNA. But none of that was filmed in the movie, and Scorsese wasn't concerned with unraveling the mystery of Hoffa's disappearance, but something else. It's something people think when they're old enough to look back. Struggle for life. Something you put your whole heart into defending. I will think about what all of this means before that endless dark night comes. In the last feature of Frank, he is still a confused old man. Michael said in "The Godfather": I will get smarter and smarter. When I am old and dying, I am the smartest. But he ended up sitting in a chair in confusion, just like Frank, in front of time, everyone is an equal ordinary person. em!
