In "The Irishman", you will find that the actors you like are all old. Yesterday, the two Corleones galloped with the glory of Italian gangsters. But today the camera stops at De Niro sitting in a wheelchair and choosing the green coffin belonging to the Irish, erasing the last trace of time on a person. In "Once Upon a Time in America", De Niro in his prime shows his makeup in his old age, while the Irishman shows De Niro in his twilight years in his middle age. The existence of films, books, countless works of art, experiencing unseen worlds while alone, staring into time. The same actor will give the audience a commonality. Seeing De Niro look back at "Once Upon a Time in America", I will think of director Leone's solitary hero. Eastwood is wearing a cowboy hat. When you and I look at each other, the revolver around your waist has lost one. bullet. At the end of the film, De Niro said to the priest: leave it open a little bit, he sat alone in the room, looking back at his own era, but he also expected the forgiveness and visit of his daughters, but only got a cavity to dig his own grave. of loneliness. The book says that our starting point is the same, and the end point is Ai Ai dust. The grandfather, who died of cancer, has the same age spots, gray hair and decadence as De Niro in his twilight years in the play. He was lying on the side of the hospital bed with red letters on a white background, his hands resting on the raised railings, and the low dose of morphine had no effect. He muttered to himself on the hospital bed, but his past was also the memory of countless people. Can't choose how to live, how to die; but can decide how to love, how to live.
