The Irishman (2019) - Rotten Tomatoes

Out today on Netflix. This one is going to take multiple sittings as I usually have various other stuff going on while watching TV at home. It is about 3 and a half hours long.

Went and watched it yesterday, great

Too long but still worth seeing.

I'm excited to see two of the three Big Names in what should be a Great Movie. Al Pacino and Joe Pesci are just the greatest and I would think this may be the last time we see Joe Pesci in any film. You never know what Al Pacino has in mind. It should be very entertaining.

I thought it was OK. Acting was good of course....a little slow moving at times.

I had to pull the plug at the 2-hour mark. It's very good so far. It's great to see these guys as the younger versions of themselves. Wouldn't it be great to be able to do that for yourself?

We'll finish up the movie tomorrow. I don't care that it's long cause I don't want it to end.

Pesci is younger than Pacino. Make up for characters was remarkable.

It isn't make-up. It is digital CTI technology.



Irishman: How Old Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci Are in Key Scenes

We finished watching it last night because the suspense was too much. 8 1/2 out of 10 Stars. All the acting was fantastic.

Joe Pesci is just unbelievably great!

May watch this today and not for NOTHING.

Did you notice former priest and frequent Fox News contributor Jonathon Morris had a cameo role ?

Didn't know his name but he was shown almost immediately. What movies were the wives in the Lincoln who smoked too much from?

This is definitely a movie to be watched several times. I'm sure we'll all pick up some new things we missed the first time around. Glad we watched it at home and not in the movies.

I did.

I thought the acting was superb, especially by Robert DeNiro. The women were of little significance to the film, except for daughter Peggy, who served to silently reprimand her father. She never spoke a line until near the end.

Watched it on Netflix. As much as I love watching the acting of DeNiro, Pacino and Pesci, however, I thought they were too old for their parts, especially when CGI tried to make them look younger, they still walked like old men. And ever since I saw Pesci as Leo Getz in Lethal Weapon 2, I can't get that character out of my head. I think I would have also preferred a real Irishman playing Sheeran.

It was so long that I slept through part of it. But, now I can't remember which part.

I thought it dragged a bit. But the comments about the makeup are right on. It was remarkable. I’m trying to separate my negative feeling for DeNiro but he was OK. Pesce and Pacino were fantastic.

You deserve a whole lot of credit if you can separate the negative feelings. Imagine him going from the Classics that he has been in to those that he made a few years ago. Could giving him Blue Eyes have been a possibly a mistake?

Plus the other thing. He's gotta go! :1rotfl:

DeNiro.... no thanks!!

Why the negative feelings about DeNiro? Just curious, is it something to do with the roles he plays, is it his politics (which I don't know) or what? Don't have a clue what you are talking about.

He is on Saturday Night Live quite often of late. He plays Robert Mueller in many skits.

He is one of our most talented actors no matter what his politics might be.

He is the parts he plays....a foul mouthed thug in public venues and appearances.

Okay, thanks. I don't keep up with Hollywood or the "Stars," obviously.

Sad for me to see how people allow "P" views to color everything they might be exposed to. Like high school, making decisions on stupid things instead of what should guide us is becoming prevelant.

As to the movie......I enjoyed very much the attention to detail in everything...wardrobe, sets and actual events. Always dramatic liscense, but in general very accurate it appears.

Having spent a lot of my early adult years in South Philly, I related to much of the characters, etc.

Overall, it was great.

I enjoy movies, plays, broadway, etc, NOT because if an actors feelings on anything, but realize, they do not forfeit the right to use their platform in any way they choose. If an actors opinions move you to ignore what they bring to our society, that is your loss and signifies a very closed mind.

Many on the world stage I find repugnant, but I still listen, investigate and consider what they say...that is how we grow and expand our minds.

Let's discuss a great movie and show respect for people doing their job, and save that hate for another thread.

My dislike for DeNiro has nothing to do with his movies or hate or the referred to "P".....it is all about the foul mouthed language he uses in public forums. Which even by today's low standards is just not acceptable.

I had a run in with DeNiro in Montauk many years ago, almost decked him he was such an ass!

This was a better movie the second time I watched it. Is the guy with the bad language really a tough guy or is he an ACTOR? I don't care for him. Unfortunately, I was not casting the movie. I understand he had to be there in order to get Joe Pesci to come out of retirement. It is what it is. Who would have been the alternative to use anyway? He is a skilled ACTOR, I'll give him that.

The company that produced The Irishman was TriBeCa Productions. NICE. Owned by Foul Mouth himself. (Look it up yourself or believe me) Let's see. A possible conversation, who really knows? Hey, Marty, I'll act in your movie if you get Pacino and Pesci Oh and one other thing you have to use my Production Company. This for that? Where have I heard that before? Its all about the movie and the going's on behind the scenes are very interesting also. It may not have happened like that but come on!

LOVED THE MOVIE. Maybe we'll watch it again today?

The Irishman (2019 film - Wikipedia) Making the movie was DeNiro's idea after he read the book. I Heard You Paint Houses - Wikipedia

Do not want to give the plot line to those who have not watched, but it is interesting to read some of the dialogue on the accuracy, not of most of the movie but the conclusions (based on confessions, etc) but it continues to be a real mystery

That's great but the guy who put it together? That would be Martin Scorsese

Martin Scorsese brings together (and de-ages) three septuagenarian legends — De Niro, Pacino and Joe Pesci — for the film that started as a much more traditional genre piece and transformed into a different type of mob movie.

Tal, in a respectful manner to you I just typed, Who Put The Irishman Together and that was the result. Typing Google is your friend is not something I would ever do to you, not yet anyway. :1rotfl:

Your guy had the idea, Mr. Scorsese put it together.

A moment ago I heard on the News, not sure what channel my wife has on :1rotfl: but they said the movie got it all wrong and that Someone said Something Else and Did Something Different than what the movie reported! Time will tell. This was the first time I heard it.

Really good acting; interesting story; way too long. I was thinking during the last thirty minutes, can I get through this in one sitting or do I have to watch the end tomorrow.

I noticed that the priest was very familiar, but couldn't place him. Thanks for solving that mystery for me.

Mr. Boomer liked it. I fell asleep, though while I was awake I did like the music and the cars.

I have a question: Was that a Hudson or a Packard the Irishman was driving in the early days of his various “jobs”?

I did not get a close enough look. The body-style looked like a Hudson but the hood ornament made me think of a Packard. I did not pause the movie for a closer look and probably will not watch it again. Anybody know what that car was?

De Niro movie 'The Irishman' filming in Suffern

Could be clue in these pictures??

Neither of those was it. The one I was talking about was an earlier model than those in the pictures. Pretty sure it was a Hudson or a Packard but I don’t know for sure.

I thought it was Hudson. It sure had great lines!

Opus, you are right. It was a Hudson. And those sure are beautiful lines. (I love cars that look like they are moving when they are parked.) Those lines and that third side window should have told me. It was the hood ornament that gave me second thoughts.

It looks like Hudsons were classic beauties from 1950 through 1952. 1953 was nothing close to those glorious 3 years, and then Nash got them and made them ugly -- though more practical, I guess.

I found pictures late last night. I must warn that opening this link can cause a serious case of nostalgia. Side effects can include spending a lot of time pointing and clicking around the whole site, along with flashbacks to a time when all cars did not look alike. (I could not stop looking at the car section. But I will go back later and look at all those other topics.)

Those early Hudsons were beautiful, but, for me, there is nothing that can top a 1959 Cadillac convertible. I would be happy with either one. But (sigh) that will never happen. Oh well, at least I have my '59 Cadillac Christmas ornament. :)

I digress.

Here's the link:

1950s Cars - Hudson

Boomer, I'm certainly glad that you identified the car. It was driving me nuts. I saw the same car on a show called Chasing Classic Cars or a show like that one some years back and fell in love with the look but couldn't remember the name. It surely fits into the movie as did the Lincoln Town Car. I had that same Lincoln and it was sort of a lite color green outside and deep green inside. In the late 70's it was really something. Now the same car in that color would be NOTHING.

The attention to detail with the vehicles was fantastic. This Movie has to win all the awards I hope!
