I really enjoyed this film. Three and a half hours without intermission were no problem at all. I especially - apart from the excellent acting - appreciated the humour that still was there despite the violence and danger. I love these actors and Martin Scorsese!

I am deceived by dangerous roles and characters like Joe Pesci's in this film - a very dangerous man but his appearance is that of an intelligent, kind and helpful man. And yes, he is loyal to his closest friends such as the Irishman but otherwise his loyalties can switch, others unaware. I am reluctantly fascinated by the Maffia and their power.

Why is that kind of film about power and ruthlessness so fascinating? Is it because of the music and actors' good looks? In real life I would hardly feel the same.

Probably so. In 'Goodfellas' we didn't feel good about anything, just disgust.
The Irishman I would probably see again to make sure I didn't miss anything. 🙂

So you put the Irishman on the same level as Godfather? In terms of great movies?

The story is very good.
The acting is superb!

But, watching those guys trying to look and act as they were, 30 years ago, made me cringe.
Marty would have fared better with younger actors portraying the early years.

Still, I cannot deny I enjoyed seeing that ensemble cast back together again. Masters at work!

The reality is far less glamorous.

The Godfather, especially parts 1 and 2, is a masterpiece. The Irishman is a good film.
