It's really embarrassing that three old actors who have crossed the era, it has been 50 years since "The Godfather", and they have gone through the most glorious era of Hollywood gangsters. The old pair of De Niro and Pacino is really full of nostalgia. The chemistry between them is irresistible. If you take the role, there are two things that have to be mentioned. One is that Jimmy, who has a hot temper and never apologizes, accidentally hurts. Frank immediately chased after him to comfort him; the second was that Jimmy, who did not accept being late and waited no more than 10 minutes, waited 40 minutes for him to meet with Frank before he was killed. The decline of the mafia is as full of retrospect and reflection as the aging of people. The decline of a criminal organization is gratifying and happy, but I regret it. This is because from Coppola to Leone to Scooby The mafia screen image created by Seth is successful and full. By showing the eternal theme of the individual's life trajectory, which is closely related to human nature, it has shortened the psychological distance with the audience and caused resonance. Although beautifying and romanticizing factors are indispensable, good gangster films show more of the depth and richness of human nature, and its intricate complexity is an important reason why human beings need to always examine and reflect on themselves, as Scorsese said: " Movies should be works of actors trying to convey emotions and spiritual feelings.” If they show only the game of money and power, only the viciousness and greed of human nature, they will not become classics that can stand the test of history and audiences. Although most of the time, popcorn movies have the highest ratings and attendance, but what people call for in their hearts are works that forge humanity and the return of film art. Netflix's foresight as a streamer has to be appreciated here. As an elderly crew, from director to starring, the average person is in their seventies. We can pessimistically think that this work is already the countdown, and there is one less to watch. There is an unforgettable scene in the movie - in a darkened room, when Frank is alone and stumbles to the toilet, his trembling steps make me feel that once he falls, his life is over. I seem to see my old self, and an invisible rope filled with the breath of death is strangling me out of breath. Death is always a haze shrouded in human heads and an unsolvable proposition in life. No matter who we are, there is no high or low before the god of death, even someone like Frank has the right to be redeemed. Although technology can't hide the cast's aging, even though it didn't get Oscar's favor, I have a lot of respect for this finale, it represents a different ending than The Godfather 3, this is the final judgment, the gangster era on screen In the hands of Scorsese, the real end, and an exclusive feeling will return to its roots.
