The last 15-20min feels like Scorsese saying goodbye and remember us, like how that nurse didn't knew who Hoffa was even tho he was one the most influential man at that time, same can be said about Scorsese and his movies.
You noted that Pesci isn't as "ruthless and vicious" in this film as he was in earlier mob movies. Oddly enough, that's the only reason he agreed to do it. When Scorsese approached him about taking the role, Pesci declined, saying he'd already played the "psycho mob guy" enough times, and he wan't interested in doing it again. DeNiro and Scorsese appealed to him by pointing out that Russell Bufalino was known to be the opposite of that, the type that prefers sit-downs and compromises, which was how he got the nickname "The Quiet Don." It was this argument that finally persuaded Pesci to take the role.
I didn't find this movie boring, slow, anything at all like that. Almost every scene I felt completely engaged it was all extremely interesting I LOVED IT
Great reaction. I've watched the movie three times and thought it was an incredible goodbye to the gangster pic as we know it. The final act is so powerful as you realise that the stars of the movie (and the director) are just about to enter that stage of their lives.
@Shelby Nave with all these Gangster movies you watch how is it that you've never seen the Movies "Black Mass" with Johnny Depp? Or "American Gangster" with Denzel Washington? They are both great Movies from 2 Great Actors and both movies are based on real Gangster individuals of the past!
I remember when I went to see The Irishman at the cinema, I was almost alone watching arguably one of the greatest movies ever made, and as 22-years-old film aspiring, I felt privileged to see a Scorsese's picture.
The Irishman is to Scorsese what Unforgiven was to Clint Eastwood: a beautifully made, painful deconstruction/swan song to the genre he perfected. The last 3rd of the film is Frank Sheeran realizing that his life of crime and all his actions led him to a lonely death, with no true legacy to speak of that anyone will remember. All of his colleagues were murdered or perished and his family abandoned him. The film is devoid of the glamour and aristocracy of films like Goodfellas, The Godfather, Wolf of Wall Street or Casino. Staring his own mortality in the face is so haunting and the film truly illustrates what that life really does to those involved in it. Thanks for watching this with us!
My favorite movie of all time. Pesci is fenomenal. They all do fantastic acting. And Robbie Robertson with the brilliant theme song "In the heat of the night". Film making can not get any better than this, in my humble opinion🥰
A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS TRUCKING I LISTENED TO THE AUDIO BOOK THAT THIS WAS BASED ON!! I HAD ALSO HEARD SEVERAL INTERVIEWS WITH THE AUTHOR ON DIFFERENT RADIO SHOWS THAT I ALSO LISTENED TO BACK THEN!! I FIND THIS STORY TO BE THE MOST SENSIBLE EXPLANATION OF JIMMY HOFFA'S DEMISE!! EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE AND FITS THE EVIDENCE (WHAT LITTLE THEY HAD)!
Edit: “that’s got to feel good hearing from THE PESCI!” LMAO😂 All for a part 2! This movie is crazy long and dialogue-heavy, really enjoying your humor and insight 😊
First I want to say I love your reaction to the movie. Can’t wait to watch others. Second, when you were asking about his desensitization. People get desensitized, especially if they went to war like Mr. Sheeran did. Sheeran had a very high amount of time spent in combat. 411 days in combat, I guess for most it was more around 100 days from what I’ve read. He shipped out for North Africa but his first time in combat was the Italian Campaign. He was apart of the Invasion of Sicily, the Salerno landings, and the Anzio Campaign. Then he was apart of the Invasion of Southern France and the invasion of Germany. He said the war desensitized him to killing, so doing mob hits to him was just taking orders. That’s all. Love the reaction!
I love your mob movie watches. There is one I haven't seen in years that I think has always gotten a bad rap called Mobsters from 1991 that depicts the formation of The Commision and the Castellammarese War. It flopped, but given your very honest look at untouchables, it would be interesting to hear your take on it. If I remember well, it actually followed events pretty faithfully, and had what was considered a big time cast at the time.
It's also a cool bookend when you realize at the beginning, when he says he paints houses and he's shooting someone? That blood splatter was Jimmy's. Hoffa leaves the same blood splatter on the wall as you see in the beginning.
The reason why most go to meetings is because their friend is the one who brings them there and most of the time dies the hit. And in Jimmy's case he thought he was untouchable.
Great reaction. One of these days, either on your own or on the channel, you need to check out "Mean Streets". It's Scorsese's first mainstream foray into these themes...with young Keitel and young DeNiro. "Who's That Knocking At My Door" came earlier, but feels much more like a student exercise. Check them both out, but "Mean Streets" is pivotal.
People who accuse Pacino of overacting just don't understand what they're talking about. They think any time a character raises their voice it's overacting. Hoffa was a brash, large-than-life personality, so how is it overacting when Pacino accuaretly potrays Hoffa as that? And it's not like Pacino was just shouting for 3 hours. He had specific moments where he raised his voice or was intentionally outwardly expressive, moments which rightly deserved the character to act that way. I swear, Pacino could cough in a film and you'd have people claiming "overacting!" Pacino critics simply don't like him, for whatever reason. The guy is brilliant 9/10.
Congrats for getting through what must have been a massive editing project!!!!!!! And thank you! I totally agree: so great to see Joe Pesci play a totally different kind of mobster! Also I have to say Ray Romano was terrific in that part, wasn't he? Big surprise! Great point about the de-aging technology....most movies will use two actors for the same role! This could solve that problem, at least some of the time! Excellent point! Definitely echoes of past films in this one, I completely agree. Even when Hoffa is on the phone.....he's sitting in his lakehouse. And it reminds me of MIchael Corleone sitting in his lakehouse when Fredo gets killed. And that whole thing with the Italian League, that stuff all went down during the lead-up to shooting "The Godfather". Like I said: because of all your extensive research, revisiting this movie with you was a TOTAL pleasure, a real treat. THANK YOU!!!!!
It was a long flick but I still went to the cinema to watch this film. I missed 'The Wolf of Wall Street' at the cinema and regretted it and promised I would never not see another Scorcese flick at the pictures. I really was expecting to find it to long and the film had me engrossed all the way through and I wasn't bored once throughout the over 3 hour run time. 2019 best year in this millennium for film. 2020... Covid. Also 2019 is a year the Oscars actually got it right.
Same I was never not interested in what was happening throughout the duration of this film, it was long but it went fast! But yes 2019 was an awesome year for movies! So many good ones came out that year
it is absolutely amazing to me and very sad too that you have so few subscribers. Your reviews (which switch between your present and future self) are the best I think on TH-cam. And the films you react to are great picks, as well. Dumbfounded, but I hope you do not change the format for the sake of the barbarians out there who have no appreciation for class.
9:46 Frank was a soldier in the war…and since his back ground is of a soldier you give him an order he follows it to a T…and Russell is more important to frank then Jim… and Jim was harming the family or “mob” I should say if frank said no to this this I mean I’m more then sure that he would’ve been demoted or something else would’ve happened…not dead because Russell still needed him so yeah lol it is that easy…it’s just a job…and orders are orders…deny those orders enough you get straighten out..
Agree with what you said about the de-aging tricks. It's a pity such a fuss was made about that before release (I saw it premiered in London) as that in itself was distracting. Nobody talks about the "slimming" of DiCaprio in The Revenant, which was chock full of other CGI too. Fwiw my favourite DeNiro-Pesci collaboration (and still Scorsese's finest work) is Raging Bull. I'm not much of a boxing fan but that was sheer art, and DeNiro's finest hour. I've not seen many people watch/react to it, which is a shame.
It's worth noting that this is not a biopic. This isn't meant to be a film "based on a true story" - it's an adaptation of a book, written based on interviews with Sheeran. That's why the film is bookended by Sheeran explaining in a retirement home. This isn't _the_ story, it's _Sheeran's_ story. So it's not necessariy based entirely on fact.
I think that the infamous scene where Robert deniro beats the store owner was left as cheap as it looks on purpose to emphasis the fact that all these actors are old, they may not be around for long
The fact this movie starts with Frank narrating the movie is his confession. The movie is his confession to the author. So the start of the film to me happens after the last scene he finally told his story thats my take away
The whole movie was about how hard Frank tried to save his friend but ends up killing him and how less his part was in it so he should be not blamed (as he was the only who alive to the point when story was told lol so you can't confirm the story)
I like your reviews, here's a few more films you might be interested in Ruby starring Danny Aiello, Bugsy starring Warren Beatty, Mobsters starring Christian Slater, Gotti starring Armand Assante, office starring Jack Nicholson and Danny DeVito, Once Upon a Time in Queens starring Paul Sorvino, the cooler starring William H Macy
I love your reactions. Thanks for the entertainment. I’ve watched this one several times lately I love at the end of part two your shock face straight to a :-(. This is such a realistic, dark movie because it’s kind of what happens to everyone but exaggerated for their life. And I’m a little confused. Obviously there’s more to the story, but I don’t know why his daughters would be so mad at him. He gave them a good life. They were financially taken care of and yes, if someone hurt them he would kill them I think there’s worse things. I know there’s more to it than that, but anyway kind of a silly part of the movie.
Jimmy isn't wrong: Something happens to him and they're done. His disappearance brought the heavens down. The country was disgusted by the mob sometimes, but that might have been the first time they were actually hated. Millions of prosperous, semi-educated, politically active families saw a guy they felt indebted to apparently be murdered by people who styled themselves friends of labor. Criminals don't win that kind of beef.
Please watch Multiplicity. It's my favorite comedy. Starring Micheal Keaton and it's the same director as groundhog day and Ghostbusters. Highly underrated. Love your channel
I know other people have said this but the Irishman is really like how shitty the life of being a gangster is, in movies like casino they are like gods but here it’s like their just regular people and they definitely reap the winds of their actions. It’s not so glamorized in the typical sense.
I hope you consider reacting to The Sopranos in the future!!! There have been plenty of masterful TV shows over the years including Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, The Wire, Ozark etc But with all due respect, the best series of all time is still The Sopranos which paved the way for the others to even exist.
I've definitely been holding off from watching The Sopranos just incase I want to react to it, but yes all those other shows are wonderful! I actually have seen those already 😄
It is an entertaining movie..but it is fictional.. The dude didn't do the things he claimed. But it is interesting to learn about Hoffa as a modern person..amazing how powerful the unions were
"its what it is" basically... its over... you ran your course, its done, stop here cause theres no more ground to run to.... all youre achieving here and now by continuing? is jumping off the cliff.... that what that means right there.... its the end of the line Jimmy.... "its what it is", its not that they wouldnt dare.... its that its the only option...
It's definitely on my list for the future! I'm covering Mean Streets next, but then after that I'm going to take a little break from the mob movies, I'll be back though 😉
I was 20 when this movie came out and the ending has never made me question my own mortality more than it did. Seeing Frank all alone, just waiting to die broke me
I don't understand how people trust Franzese... I follow him too but you've to understand that he's a former "MOBSTER" and they're one of the biggest fraudsters out there.
@@ash_1419 I understand what you are saying. Mike is one more of the big time earners for the mob. However this was during his time in the mob. He is still making money as a best seller author and now he is sending wine. I don't know about his supposed religious convictions. He is very charismatic and knowledge.
A mob, cult, daddy issues, bad guys filling voids in kids lives, mandatory pizza while watching, lots to dissect, great movie all-round, suggestion: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990).
I'll say again, the de-aging technique used was so awful and unconvincing that I couldn't get past it to actually get into the movie. Don't get me wrong De Niro, Pesci and Pacino were great choices for the roles but they were just too old and Scorcese really should have accepted reality and recast the parts. But that is just me. You obviously feel otherwise. One thing though that I think we both agree on is the need for you to follow this up with Oliver Stone's "JFK". It is an extraodinarily good movie full of all the mob connections that you love and it stars Joe Pesci too (and one who is appropriately cast age-wise, as well). So when do you think you'll be doing "JFK"? As someone who vividly remembers the Kennedy assissination and was deeply moved by the way it was portrayed in "JFK" I am really looking forward to seeing how someone of your era who also has a lot of knowledge and interest in my era will react to that movie.
JFK is definitely on my list to cover in the future! I'm not sure how soon, given that I may be taking a break from these types of movies for a minute, but I will be covering it at some point absolutely.

Aweeee yeah that's true!
Dude, that's so beautiful.
@@shelbynnave watching your reviews on mob movies very good thanks
Goodfellas is one of the greatest movies of all time I don’t think they’ll be forgotten
That's deep man!

I remember the first time I watched this movie the last 30 mins gave me an existential crisis. Scorsese's most contemplative film, no doubt.
I didn't find this movie boring, slow, anything at all like that. Almost every scene I felt completely engaged it was all extremely interesting I LOVED IT
Could just watch this great starcast talk for hours and not get bored.
Yup. It just flew by. It was a wonderful send off.
A masterpiece. Enthralled by every scene.

You’re awesome, I’m loving your commentary more than your review of the Film.. 😂
Great job by the way, Darling !!!
I'm shocked that DeNiro, Pesci and Pacino are all in thier 80s .
Crazy .
awesome watching reaction - to the irishman [2019] film - commentary & review (part 2 of 2 ) !!!!
Beautiful film made us all cry at the end
The saddest part is when Frank is being old and realized that he's alone, and misses his era 😢
Definitely! Having to look back on everything he's lost and live in his own regret is probs a special kind of torture
Always such intelligent, thoughtful comments. Nice job, young lady. 👏

Great movie, great reaction.
Now you should check out the film 'HOFFA' with Nicholson as Jimmy.
i will check it out!
I want Shelby to react to The Offer on Paramount+ it's a series about the making of The Godfather
ohhhhhh i will need to check that out!
Jimmy isn't wrong: Something happens to him and they're done. His disappearance brought the heavens down. The country was disgusted by the mob sometimes, but that might have been the first time they were actually hated.

Sadly since Pesci in retirement and he only came out to do this movie this will prop be the last ever Joe Pesci movie 😥
Love your reactions. I’m a new sub. If I could recommend American Me. It’s a Chicano Gangster movie.
Welcome! And thank you I will look into that!!
Fantastic reaction. I'd love to see you react to "Analyze This", if you haven't yet seen it....
Thank you! I will look into it!
It is an entertaining movie..but it is fictional..
The dude didn't do the things he claimed.
But it is interesting to learn about Hoffa as a modern person..amazing how powerful the unions were
oh absolutely
"its what it is"
basically... its over... you ran your course, its done, stop here cause theres no more ground to run to.... all youre achieving here and now by continuing? is jumping off the cliff.... that what that means right there.... its the end of the line Jimmy.... "its what it is", its not that they wouldnt dare.... its that its the only option...
13:31 he doesnt want people to shut door on him as in he dont want to be left alone
sad stuff
Are you gonna react to The Departed? It’s another really good Scorsese film with a great cast.
Hehe, time for the Boston Mob.
She already did i guess
It's definitely on my list for the future! I'm covering Mean Streets next, but then after that I'm going to take a little break from the mob movies, I'll be back though 😉
I was 20 when this movie came out and the ending has never made me question my own mortality more than it did. Seeing Frank all alone, just waiting to die broke me
Have you seen Hugo? Scorsese's family film
You can only do so much with the story of hoffa considering they never found the body
You look like Mandy from young Sheldon
Good movie! However, it is not historically true. There are something like 17 guys who have claimed to kill Hoffa . Mike Franzese is probably correct.
I don't understand how people trust Franzese... I follow him too but you've to understand that he's a former "MOBSTER" and they're one of the biggest fraudsters out there.
@@ash_1419 Indeed. Everything about him exudes a "con man" vibe, esp the born again schtick.

@@ash_1419 he acts that way for a reason. Its all a act
If you are interested in the best movie about Jimmy Hoffa, check out the 1992 film "Hoffa" starring Jack Nicholson.
i will check it out!
you skipped the shorts part :(
"who wears shorts to a meeting ?"
A mob, cult, daddy issues, bad guys filling voids in kids lives, mandatory pizza while watching, lots to dissect, great movie all-round, suggestion: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990).
I heard you paint houses!?
Nice reaction, you should react to Gotti 1996 it's a great movie about John Gotti
Thanks! I will look into it!
I will second this. One of the best movies in the genre.
I'll say again, the de-aging technique used was so awful and unconvincing that I couldn't get past it to actually get into the movie. Don't get me wrong De Niro, Pesci and Pacino were great choices for the roles but they were just too old and Scorcese really should have accepted reality and recast the parts. But that is just me. You obviously feel otherwise.
One thing though that I think we both agree on is the need for you to follow this up with Oliver Stone's "JFK". It is an extraodinarily good movie full of all the mob connections that you love and it stars Joe Pesci too (and one who is appropriately cast age-wise, as well). So when do you think you'll be doing "JFK"? As someone who vividly remembers the Kennedy assissination and was deeply moved by the way it was portrayed in "JFK" I am really looking forward to seeing how someone of your era who also has a lot of knowledge and interest in my era will react to that movie.
JFK is definitely on my list to cover in the future! I'm not sure how soon, given that I may be taking a break from these types of movies for a minute, but I will be covering it at some point absolutely.
This movie and book was good but it was a lot of BS.
You ever gonna post again
