Very underrated film. I really think years from now this will be looked at as a Cinematic masterpiece that, sadly, did not get anywhere near the recognition that it deserved. It plays almost as an extension of Mean Streets, Goodfellas and Casino and really feels like a moving and powerful Grand Finale to all of Scorsese’s Mob epics. Don’t let it’s slow pace put you off - this is an absolute Masterwork from one of the greatest artists in the history of Cinema.
At least that’s how you’re “supposed” to feel because film buffs are on Scorsese’s nuts. I had to stop halfway, and didn’t care enough to come back the following night. The general vibe I got was, they should have left this one alone, or made it years ago. I may give it another shot.
There are very few directors who get a chance to do what they wanna do and Martin Scorsese is the one on top he is the man who inspires many with this soulful filmmaking :)
Just got the Criterion DVD of "The Irishman" today and I can sit here and enjoy it like I did a year ago when this first streamed on Netflix. There will never be as great a film as this with a great cast all helmed by the great Martin Scorsese.
Seeing Al Pacino under Martin Scorsese's direction gave me goosebumps. Just imagine the films they could have made together in the 70s-90s they seem like they would be the perfect pair along with De Niro.
I am in the middle of my third viewing of The Irishman, always something new. A classic. A movie you can watch again and again and still be entertained. Thank you Marty, Al, Bob, Joe, et al.
I think what I admire about Scorsese is after all these years he seems like he's still a kid in a candy store. Yes there's a process, a schedule, a business, etc., etc, but he's stayed an artist. A true filmmaker.
I’m staring filmmaking with a mirrorless camera. This man deserves every award for just existing. Really inspiring man. For the OG fans. He inspired me even when he was in Shark Tale 😂
hello sir / miss. I am a very big fan of cinema and I would like to discuss with a lover of cinema like me in order to discuss the subject. have I come to the right place?
Filmmaking at its finest, we'll never see anything quite like it at this caliber ever again. Thank you, Martin Scorsese, for delivering quality films after quality films; and to everyone involved in making The Irishman, you all deserve a heartfelt appreciation.
hello sir / miss. I am a very big fan of cinema and I would like to discuss with a lover of cinema like me in order to discuss the subject. have I come to the right place?
This is fantastic, Scorsese is so passionated when he talks about filmmaking, he is able to make masterpieces such as this when he's got all the creative control, a truly inspiration for the filmmakers to come
Really gets into the nuts and bolts of the magic of movie making. Just remember this collection of singular talents going down the road and smile because we were privileged to enjoy this.
Look at the man's face behind Al and Martin in that first scene where Martin is explaining the script to Al. The only thing that I can guess he is thinking is: "Damn, this is a genius at work." Excellent film.
Just hearing Scorsese talk for a minute about phones and sky color you get more of a film school education than about anything else out there. The guy is a brilliant craftsman of the trade. A true DaVinci of film.
I read where one of the top executives at Netflix flat out admitted, "We didn't care about the cost. We didn't care about the return. We didn't care about box office or awards. We wanted to make our own, original masterpiece of cinema. That was ours. And help Scorsese make this movie and have it come from him. We did that."

The Irishman is a sort of homage towards those movies from the 70 & 80's years Scorsese made especially, with Robert De Niro. Furthermore, seeing De Niro, Pacino and Joe Pesci together on a set is a big surprise I never imagined in a Scorsese's movie. Moreover, Scorsese was able to demonstrate that he is a classic director, and that's why his movies never gets old. So thank you Marty for coming back with this movie.
martin knew they are getting old and this is what the movie is all about.. he knew they had to make it now and it had to be them, for the entire movie.. it also came in a perfect timing, if it was 10 years ago it wouldn`t be as good.. this will go down as a legendry film and it`s honestly a gem in this era
From the maker of Michael Jackson’s Bad music video... imagine that being the promotional line introducing this film Marty is a genius filmmaker, working with 4 of the most genius actors of all time (Deniro, Pacino, Pesci, Keitel)
Fantastic.I enjoyed every bit of this video and it made me want to go watch this masterpiece for the third time! There is a grounded reality about it and a deep understanding of criminal life in this film that most movies never focus on and it places The Irishman among the best movies ever made.
This movie is once you see it the 2nd time, I’m one of those fans that has see it 10 times now,I love the scenes between all of them when it was one on one,it wasn’t recognized for the tremendous dialogues and acting between great actors
I watched or read an interview where he explains ge doesn't believe on "director's cuts" as to him once a movie finishes post production and is released to theaters, that's the movie that it will always be. He also mentioned something about it being kind of petty for a director to ask for a director's cut DVD/Blue Ray when they didn't care enough to ask that from the start. And frankly, I think Scorsese is one of the few directors who always makes the movie his own, not caring about numbers and big box offices, just an artistic vision true to himself.
What’s partnership between Deniro and Scorsese, to know and trust someone else creatively, that deeply abd naturally. What a gift they each gave each other. I’ve had such comparatively shallow versions of this in my life, and they’ve been, still, incredibly fulfilling. I can’t imagine having their level of creative relationship, how wonderful that must be.
Man, I get goosebumps whenever that frank kills hofa scene comes up! Just think that you're in frank's position and you will feel the guilt and pain forever
I absolutely adored the final moments of this film. All of the swagger of romanticised gangster glamour slowly fizzles out and becomes a contemplation of regret from a lonely, feeble old man. It's so sad and it hits so hard. It's like a mic drop on the entire genre.
The funniest part of this video is when Marty doesn't mention that Bob and him did "New York, New York" together but Irwin Winkler does! XD Amazing musical movie!
Pesci was brilliant as Buffalino... as wonderful, warm and ruthless as Nicholas Colastanto ("Coach" from Cheers) as Tommy Como in Raging Bull. Both played against type.. and the character was 100% believable.
This movie is an absolute gem - it is both artful storytelling, and a beautiful film to watch and absorb. So much is done with a look in the eyes, and a nod between characters - none of this spoon fed swill that has emerged in popular movies these days.
I do too. What's interesting in this case is that he actually looks more like Hoffa and Pacino does. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6f/James_R._Hoffa_NYWTS.jpg
The first time I saw this I watched it with a friend at 2 in the morning, I was half watching and was put off with how old the “young versions” of the characters were, then I watched it again alone, and I’ve probably watched it 15 times, 😂 it’s one of my favorite movies, after every time I watch it I can’t believe it’s 3 and 1/2 hours long, it goes by so fast, it’s a beautifully directed and acted film with a lot of heart and tragedy.
What a awesome movie! Three of my acting heroes in this movie and the icing on the cake is having the best director of cinema ever and it produced one of my all time favorite movies! This was up there with Goodfellas and Casino! I can't wait to see Killer of the Flower Moon.
It's a great movie, thier performances are captivating and you buy into the relationships (didnt feel as long as it was). That said, I think it's a film you can only really watch the once and really enjoy at the same level, where Goodfella's and Casino just keep on giving.
I have a question seeing what goes on in the background now... I work with music in my little home studio etc, and when I'm seeing these microphones on set capturing performances, while also seeing people moving around to facilitate the scene, I can't help but think it's impossible for that background noise to enter into the microphones somewhere on some level. So.. I wonder whether there's actually a profession somewhere along the way in film where there's a guy CLOSELY curating every bit of on-set recorded audio, fixing whatever sneaking footsteps or heavy breating etc. that's heard in the background? Cause those things are easy to miss until it's too late..
The courage it took for the son of Jimmy Hoffa to continue the loyalty his Dad gave to the Teamster is remarkable. As a young Woman, I was damn proud to be a Member ✍🏾
WOW never bin done in the pased and il bet it will never happen again as on Joe P. AL P. Robert D. Three super A personalitys all supporting each other all three deserve best leading man and best supporting man working so closely brought together by Marty S. We are so lucky to witness this great event.
It is a great film, I always enjoy movies with Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci in it, you know when Martin Scorsese directs a film it must be great. What I don't understand is why Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Al Pacino don't yet have Hollywood Stars on the Walk of Fame, they should have had them decades ago after acting in so many great films.
Legendary level actors, in a movie made by a legendary director. what else can one ask for? I only wish this was shot earlier in their careers as it would have been much natural to age them with make up, instead of make them look younger with CGI.
I notice people trashing the movie, saying it's an average Scorsese and not as good as Goodfellas or Casino. The truth is that this isn't Goodfellas or Casino. Although Scorsese set an antiquated macho mob world as a palette, he was going for a more poignant testament to an evanescing chapter of the American history, which then slowly transitions into a moody, meditative examination of friendship and betrayal, and ends as an ode to time. It is quietly immersive and gripping. I think it is a masterful piece of filmmaking, which only takes a true master like Scorsese to make. Embrace these movies as you won't be seeing the kind much in the future.
I was sure that this could win for 3 categories: Production Design, Adapted Screenplay and Supporting Actor (for Pesci). Can't think of why the Academy omitted it from the Production Design (Pitt's Oscar was due, so I was okay with that, Jojo Rabbit was great and way more funnier than the novel). But 2019 was a great year for the films, gotta say that. Joker, 1917, Ford V Ferrari, Parasite, Jojo Rabbit, The Lighthouse, Marriage Story, John Wick 3 and The Irishman just to name a few.
This truly put a smile on my face. I have so much admiration for Scorsese's passion for filmmaking.
Scorsese is synonymous to Cinema for me.

Be thankful we had it in the first place, I say. They can have Boss Baby 2. Once entertainment has finally hit rockbottom, we'll be dead anyway.
Dont worry my guy. I got you 😉 give me like two to five years to gain more experience in life then I gotcha 👌🏾
My heart just quenched when De Niro told pesci "Come on let's do it...what if we cannot do anything again" I hate my favs getting old

This makes me so happy, down to my soul I smile when I see these legends smile and laugh when they interact
The way Scorsese gestures his hands like he’s conducting an orchestra. Truly a man who is connected with his projects. Beautiful.
Al Pacino younger characterization was great! His eyes still young and powerful!
He still got it!!!!
Pacino never lost that youthful energy
HANDS DOWN THE BEST FILM THAT NETFLIX HAS.

The fact that Deniro was not nominated for this is just ridiculous. I think it is one of his best performances.
Best joke ever.
One of the best Behind the Scenes Docs I have ever watched :) So many legends, so much to learn!
From the maker of Michael Jackson’s Bad music video... imagine that being the promotional line introducing this film
Marty is a genius filmmaker, working with 4 of the most genius actors of all time (Deniro, Pacino, Pesci, Keitel)
pacino performance in the film was insane ❤🙏🏼
7:46 - Scorsese Talking about Niro and their friendship. What a great couple.
If people knew how good this movie is, they could reopen it at the theatres and it would be box office gold.
Fantastic.I enjoyed every bit of this video and it made me want to go watch this masterpiece for the third time! There is a grounded reality about it and a deep understanding of criminal life in this film that most movies never focus on and it places The Irishman among the best movies ever made.

13:44 “The good news about today’s data on everybody is that they have data on everybody!” Gotta love Pacino, such a character
Love him too!!!!

Has Marty ever done an extended cut of any of his movies? Because as long as the movie is, I’d watch more of these legendary actors...
He never does alternate versions or shows deleted scenes. It’s like showing people the pieces of a sculpture that wasn’t used. That’s how he sees it
I watched or read an interview where he explains ge doesn't believe on "director's cuts" as to him once a movie finishes post production and is released to theaters, that's the movie that it will always be.

The funniest part of this video is when Marty doesn't mention that Bob and him did "New York, New York" together but Irwin Winkler does! XD Amazing musical movie!
Pesci was brilliant as Buffalino... as wonderful, warm and ruthless as Nicholas Colastanto ("Coach" from Cheers) as Tommy Como in Raging Bull. Both played against type.. and the character was 100% believable.

I’ve watched this movie about 15 times tbh. I get something new from it every time.
I watched this for the first time today, I know I'm late lol. Everyone was great, Al was my favorite!!!! I forgot that it was him
Truly fortunate to be able to see legends at work for possibly one of the best movies ive seen so far in my life.
This movie is an absolute gem - it is both artful storytelling, and a beautiful film to watch and absorb. So much is done with a look in the eyes, and a nod between characters - none of this spoon fed swill that has emerged in popular movies these days.

In my top ten favorite films. I adore it and the performances, especially De Niro (one of his best)
Everything about this was incredible. The movie was spectacular!
How are you ever going to replace actors like Pacino de Niro and pesci they are definitely the three kings of la Costa nostra movies

Crazy how Pacino played his very first & only film with not only Tarantino but also with Scorsese in the same exact year
I know it was only released last year but it’s already one of the best mafia movies of all time imo

Masters of their crafts. It just hurts that they are all so old and they will not make movies like this anymore. But their art lives forever.
Legendary level actors, in a movie made by a legendary director. what else can one ask for?
I only wish this was shot earlier in their careers as it would have been much natural to age them with make up, instead of make them look younger with CGI.
One of the best DeNiro performances ever. He ultimately holds the film together and keep me invested.
Greatest American film of the decade.
I notice people trashing the movie, saying it's an average Scorsese and not as good as Goodfellas or Casino. The truth is that this isn't Goodfellas or Casino. Although Scorsese set an antiquated macho mob world as a palette, he was going for a more poignant testament to an evanescing chapter of the American history, which then slowly transitions into a moody, meditative examination of friendship and betrayal, and ends as an ode to time.
