Personally I will not view any more films with him involved in the production. And I believe that I’m not in the minority.

Haven’t watched it yet but plan to.

[PorkChopExpress]

so don't hate, nothing about politics, but I feel like he has only one note, a single character. not the great actor everyone says. I understand I am in the minority. to contrast the late Heath Ledger was great in roles.

[wseward]

I started watching it. Forced myself to get through 3 episodes. Not very good.

Maybe you haven't watched many De Niro films - as examples:
Taxi Driver
Awakenings
The Intern
Godfathers
Raging Bull
Meet the Parents
King of Comedy

How is that a "single character"?

I assume many of you are not going to watch his films because you don't like his politics. When are people not allowed to express their opinions? Who can? Sport figures, business people, people in any part of the entertainment industry - movies, tv, music. I suppose you allow people to express their opinions only if they are not made public or you agree with them..

He's a great actor. If you exclude all the actors who have expressed their opinions with which you disagree with you will miss out on some great performances. Your choice.

I agree. And I usually do not care about the personal lives of actors and actresses. Now if they support violence against others and then that very same person benefits from that bloodshed. That is another matter.

I won't watch it either. I'm too busy composing my weekly 5 major accomplishments.

Same here, this guy's a nutcase !

[CoachKandSportsguy]

Same here, this guy's a nutcase !

So is Kevin Spacey, and I love watching Kevin Spacey act his parts. . .

I don't follow personal lives of actors / actresses to decide to watch a movie/show or not. . acting is about making believe you are someone you are not, and if you do a good job of it, and a really good job of it, you get paid well. . . all of them. So its make believe entertainment for me, without judgements about the characters, just like a football game. Is it the quarterback or the plays the coaches are calling. . . I can't tell the difference. .

But whatever. .

I thought the movie / show was eerily too similar to what's happening today in politics. . written/released prior to this calendar year, and the house members had the same beliefs as many in power do today. .

But whatever. .

BUT, I just finished it. A "C" at best. NOT GREAT AT ALL.

[Topspinmo]

I watching the series “hell on wheels” on paramount plus. Lots of good series on paramount plus IMO.

That's a really good series. I was in contact with one of its actors for years on Facebook. :BigApplause:

[Cuervo]

There are a number of postings stating they will not watch anything that he is in.
This I'm assuming because of his political views.
I watch movies because they are good, I do not restrict myself because any actor in the project does not agree with my views.
You do realize he is not going to know if you are watching something he is in or not and are just depriving yourself.

[SoCalGal]

I, too, will no longer patronize Robert Deniro films. He's dead to me.

I concur. No way will we watch anything with De Niro.
Saw everything he ever did before he went off the deep end anyway.

As started earlier, there's no place in my world for DeNiro.

However, I just saw very sad Breaking News about a favorite actor of ours:

Legendary actor Gene Hackman, wife Betsy and dog found dead inside New Mexico home. No foul play.

Successful boycotts, as well as tariffs, are so rarely successful on any sort of a large scale that they are all to often wasted efforts for me.

[Cuervo]

No Loss whatsoever.

I'm not here to change your mind, but over the years I've had many close friends who were either homophobic, raciest, antisemitic and didn't have views that were lined with mind and I still considered them my friends. I believe if you isolate yourself because your personal beliefs do not match with others, you're doing yourself a disservice. You're not only shutting yourself from half the population, but you'll never be open to examining if your views have any flaws. If you don't watch De Niro's movies because you don't like his acting, I get it, but if it's because he does not follow your beliefs, I don't get it.

[rsmurano]

I will never watch anything that has this clown in it. Everytime you watch 1 of his movies, you give him more money so he can continue on his worthless rants

Agree. You can sadly tell the ones who believe in free speech, the bedrock of democracy. In the end it is their loss.

[rrman77]

I feel that the next war will not be boots on the ground, but interruption of water, electricity etc.

[michgary]

sometimes i feel very bad, that I laff so hard at that Fockers movie, but i cant help it.. even given the actors. Forgive me just this once ,,,:shrug:

Whether he knows or not the better his movies do the better for him. Therefore why should I pay to see one of his movies putting money in his pocket and in effect supporting his views which we take exception too.

Lots of ways to entertain ourselves, not the end of the world to skip his shows.

[Bill14564]

Why does anyone pay any attention at all to what an actor says? I watch a movie for the characters in the movie, not the actors portraying them.

You don't like what he says? Don't support his causes.
You aren't going to pay to see one of his movies so you don't put money in his pocket? The possibly hundreds of others whose income depends on that film certainly won't thank you for taking money out of their pockets because of your political views.

[jimjamuser]

I agree. And I usually do not care about the personal lives of actors and actresses. Now if they support violence against others and then that very same person benefits from that bloodshed. That is another matter.
Basically, I HATE to know ANYTHING about the actors in movies that I watch. For example, I liked "The Expanse" and I did NOT recognize any actors in that series. Robert De Nero has been in many good movies and some very mediocre movies. Rotten Tomatoes gave "Zero Day" a marginal rating. I will watch it, but I would be surprised if it is GREAT.

Ted’s wife speaking here: I do not watch his films or TV shows any longer. Same with Alex Baldwin (and I really loved him in The Hunt for Red October)

I find both of them to be so filled with anger and divisive language in general that they tend to be more of a distraction than attraction to their body of work. Before I offend too many, I will state that I fall into the category of people that will not allow “actors” to be my go to for information or how to think. Of course I feel the same about the “news/media”. I still have anger to the News Anchor that once said in a commercial, (summarized) “we don’t need to figure out the news and what it means - WE will tell you”!

[JohnnyP]

I, too, will no longer patronize Robert Deniro films. He's dead to me.

Same. I refuse to watch films or news with DeNiro.

[HORNET]

I thought that it was a terrible- terrible movie ! Hollywood crap !

[HORNET]

He not my actor that I want to see !

[HORNET]

When he went political, I went to never watch ANYTHING that he is in !!!!!!!!!

[Taltarzac725]

When he went political, I went to never watch ANYTHING that he is in !!!!!!!!!

That does work both ways. But I don't really care about what actor has what opinions unless they are criminal in nature. Then I would stop going to his or her movies.

I would certainly say that it was relevant and accurate for today which is why it was so scary! I can see this really happening and found it extremely thought provoking. Society relies on technology today in all aspects of our lives. Hacking the systems can (and God forbid, someday will) be catastrophic. The ship has sailed and we aren’t going back to the way things were done in the past. I can only imagine the chaos that can be caused by computer hackers and Zero Day certainly brought that horrific possibility to light. Wars don’t need to be fought with guns anymore but with the stroke of a key. I binge watched and thought it was well done. I may never sleep again.

[fishon]

Zero interest.

[Bwanajim]

I will never watch Robert De Niro either, ever ever ever!!

[collie1228]

I’m gobsmacked by the number of replies that say they will never watch another DiNero performance again. In my opinion, he is one of the greatest actors of all time. Period. But I agree with those that think his political stupidity has erased any goodwill he may have had from his fans. I was a fan, but no longer. I will never again spend any of my remaining time on this earth watching or listening to this idiot.

I probably will watch it at some point. So many good shows out there to see though. It may take me a while to get to it .

should we read up on all the actor's political views? nah, I couldn't care less, I can't change anyone else, don't care about most other's political views, so I might as well enjoy some entertainment.

Nicely put. Sounds like a cyber attack cripples the US disrupting train, car and plane travel with widespread injuries and deaths among other things and the authorities need to figure out how to stop it from happening again.

[CoachKandSportsguy]

that's one aspect, the most interesting and politically relevant, was the treasonous actions of the speaker of the house, and other members of the congress vying against the president, including the president's daughter, with similar excuses for correcting the perceived changes from the good old days. They used technology for their own goals

Irrelevant?? Sorry when a thread is open all relevant posts should be honored. The thread mentioned Robert Deniro so..,, open to comments regarding him. Including posters views of him. IMO he personally is a hater. And I do not agree with his personal views or actions. That said I would never view one of his productions. My view my choice my opinion. It’s relevant.

He is not one of the people I contacted in late 1992-early 1993 through the early 2000s to get involved with empowering people pulled into the legal system as survivors/victims of crimes. My 224 613 Project. He seemed more involved with becoming a great actor immersing himself in his various roles. He was great in Raging Bull as well as in many of his other films.

BUT in his later years, 2016-2020 and 2024-current he is a very angry man spouting his outrage. Of course he has his rights to do that. As folks have rights to not support him by purchasing tickets to see his films.

I have no problem with celebrities speaking their minds. Some do overdo it. There are usually hundreds if not thousands of people involved with developing, filming, advertising blockbuster movies and huge series. One hothead should not keep people away from these works.

There are people on the other side of my views of various issues and their involvement in various movies does not stop me from seeing these movies and tv shows.

I do not care what Mel Gibson might say about such -and-such as he is known for putting some very strange statements out there.

[bmcgowan13]

SMH...

The whole plot of the movie is exposing how the media/power brokers are purposely and effectively polarizing the population to feed their greed and personal power. The movie's message is exposing the tragedy of an unforgiving and intolerant citizenry that they turn on one another. It's my way or the highway....

The irony of this forum is that the movie's claims are so perfectly on display here...

:girlneener:

[Byte1]

Deniro is a foul mouthed, hater. I have no problem with celebrities voicing their political views if asked, but when they use their celebrity status to broadcast their hate.....I'm finished with them and won't support their ****.

That has been the norm for about a decade IMHO. Talk of the Villages was quite nasty around 2015 and a few years after that. It has changed for the better.

Maybe. But there was a group of very aggressive posters on Talk of the Villages who repeatedly made false statements. Cyberbullying was the norm. Not the exception.

That's a good, quick summary of the movie. I prefer to hear about the movie NOT the personal beliefs of the actors. Does the actor prefer cats to dogs? Does the actor drive an American or foreign car? I just DON'T care about that stuff. Can they act and is the movie plot good. That is important to me.

[ffresh]

De Nero did NOT change. The audience did.

You're probably correct: he didn't change he was always a "whackjob" masquerading as a normal person ... early on, of course!

Actually De Niro looks like a normal person doing great things with his roles .

I am about half way through this series. Seems pretty good.

Zero Day does have Robert De Niro as the main character but it is pretty entertaining series.

The comment I left is about the series. Not about Robert De Niro's private hates. I do love him on Saturday Night Live . Another series.
