      @@JustNiceStuff-ux5nzpeople misunderstand “the Irishman”. I was confounded with it too at first but then it made sense. “Goodfellas”, “Casino” and “The Irishman” form a triptych, and have this structure of a Greek tragedy - hamartia, agnarosis, katharsis. It is the original sin, the recognition of that sin, and the downfall. Even using the youth rendering works, and De Niro geriatric movements.

That was more because I get antsy when I sit too long rather than the film being dull. Watching it in two takes might be a good move for some folks.

    Killers of the flower moon is an important story certainly it became more something people started to be aware of when the book came out, and scorcese did an exceptional job not just on the adoption of the book but in the whole story and involving the osage people to help to tell the story. There are many people still living descended from those murdered osage indians that martin scorcese talked to in preparation for the film.

      Sorry, ignore the stupid language - I think quite a few people brushed Flower Moon off as woke, brainwashy stuff, but I didn't think that at all. The film has arrived at a time when people are walking delicately over "cultural issues", and are afraid to treat Flower Moon as a film worth critiquing, so instead they see it as a "cultural statement" beyond reproach. The real point of Flower Moon is that it could happen anywhere, which is why, in true Scorsese fashion, it will endure.

She never tries to get out from under it. It's fascinating but hard to hook into anyone. Even Henry Hill of Goodfellas was charismatic and they never showed him murder anyone.

    If you are checking out the lighting and framing of a film, wondering how the director "got the shot"... that doesn't scream "great movie". That seems to be a clinical and cold reaction to the technical mastery of the film.

      Not that the subject matter isn't important to me but otherwise I would've felt that the subject matter deserves a better movie (which is how I feel about the Imitation game).
      I'm not going to argue that we should elevate certain movies above our emotional engagement with it because they're supposedly "important" but not every story needs to be entertaining or even cathartic to be worth something. There are plenty of movies which are very important to me and I'm very happy I watched but at the same time can be so painful I don't want to revisit them often. They can still be formative and honestly make you into a better person. Sometimes they can help you feel something that you already knew was true and should probably change your behaviour but before felt distant enough to ignore it.
      That said, I found "Killers of the Flower Moon" to be very watchable (besides just sitting that long not being that comfortable). The Zone of Interest to me was the movie that I thought was great but I also just don't want to watch again.

      Going back to your very first comment:
      I think it's actually somewhat fair to say it's not that good a sign for a movie when you end up thinking much about the success of the technicalities but it does depend on what kind of film watcher you are and how much you know about how these things are made. I don't consider myself knowledgable of acting for example so when I find myself thinking "great acting" while watching a movie it can mean I'm just not engrossed with the actual performance to forget about the fact I'm watching an actor acting.

    I liked it but I can’t help but feel had Scorsese made this film roughly 15-20 years ago, it would’ve came out a bit more pristine and just better overall. He would’ve shaved it a good 20 minutes at least if not a little more, which I didn’t have a problem with the runtime but it absolutely could’ve been trimmed at least a half hour almost.
    Also, I was fine that they decided to focus more on Ernest over the cops but I was a bit disappointed by how Scorsese seemed not even the slightest bit interested in the cop angle with Jesse Plemons and his entourage until the last hour of the movie. I clocked it when I watched it the second time and the first time you see Plemons is at the roughly 2 hours and 15 minutes mark, with his entire story being crammed into roughly the last hour and 10 minutes or so.
    That’s part of what I mean by had he made this film a bit earlier in his career, say mid to late 00’s, the story would have had a better balance overall. Also, I felt he shouldn’t have had Eric Roth as the writer for the screenplay, I feel he should’ve stuck with Steve Zaillan, who co wrote The Irishman for him. Much better dialogue in The Irishman in my opinion. Regardless, still a very good movie overall, definitely would not have it in my top 5 Scorsese movies all time, most likely Top 10, though if it would make my top 10, it would probably end up somewhere between 8-10. I did really like how he’s framing death scenes, not only in Killers but he did it in The Irishman, he tries to not use quick cuts and loud/catchy music as a backdrop, he doesn’t make killing loom glamorous anymore, he frames the shot almost like a painting, it’s usually from a far if not at least not a close up, with no music except for whatever background noise is in the scene, and he lingers on the shot of the body after the murder happens, almost forcing you to soak it in and the brutal reality, there’s no catchy song in the background, it’s just cold blooded murder. The way he framed Anna Browns murder in the woods is a perfect example of what I’m trying to say.
    Sorry for the rant, love Scorsese and I really liked Killers a lot, just not as
    much as I thought I would. Still a top 3 film of the year for me, Poor Things is by far #1 movie of 2023 though.

    This is weak for Scorsese. Even for Scorsezze this is weak. It had some great imagery in it like the slaves working in the flames but still weak. I was expecting a lot from it and it under delivered. I had a theory that it would compare to Once Upon in America, bc that was Sergio Leone who spent his whole career directing Westerns finished off with a gangster movie. And here's the gangster movie guy doing a Western at the tail end of his career. So I was expecting it to great. But it was really only sort of a Western. In "America," Leone casts Henry Fonda who was known for playing the good guy, and has him play one of the best bad guys in all of cinema, and nobody saw it coming. And so here is Scorsese casting De Niro who made a career playing bad guys, and the trailer makes him look like a bad guy, and I was really hoping for the twist where it turns out that De Niro is actually the good guy and nobody sees it coming and he's one of the best heroes. But naw. There was no twist at all. It's just, oh, these guys are killing people... they're still killing people... and now they got caught. I've seen that a million fucking times. No comparison at all to Taxi Driver. And even though Scorsese started off trying so hard to make it seem so old school like it was actually shot in the time period, it was clearly modern because all the Indians are fat it's sad to say. Everybody is fat in this movie. Leo got fat, Lily is fat, the detective who is "on their tail" is fat and kind of a dork. Although that line at the beginning, "I like my women thick," that was the bomb I was like HELL YEAH in the theatre, but the pic peaked there for me.
    Also the script is so unimaginative. When Leo gets caught and all he says is, "Here we go," like come on Scorsese. Everybody who thought Leo should get a best actor Oscar for frowning the whole movie didn't see Oppenheimer. Scorsese was trying to make it compete with Oppie with the court room stuff at the end but he just didn't do it like Nolan did it. I love slow movies but the ending of this shit dragged. Should have been a stage play really. And we don't even get any tits. Oppenheimer gave us Florence Puff's tits on IMAX. All we get out of Killers is one shot of what's her name's thigh.
    The high points of the movie for me is the girl thinking that the guy who has been murdering her was actually curing her. Calling the poison the cure, that's saying something about COVID right there, and our whole establishment and society and the pharmaceutical industry (thank you spell check). And then she forgives him and stays with him? That's an abusive relationship, that hit hard. And the double shot walking through the jail with all the prison bars whizzing past camera, right on. And the director at the end being the narrator of the radio play, and seeing through all the sound effects and bull shit, meta. The scene in the cult was striking too I'm not going to forget that.
    I think that what Scorsese was trying to convey was that the accomplices went free for confessing to the murders (why else would they describe in such vivid detail their crimes). And the real twist is that there were dozens more murders committed by dozens more murderers and the Feds just prosecuted this one death and called it a day. But three hours is a long time for a public service statement.

The ever tried and true “White Guilt”!
    You think we’ll ever see a movie about Woodrow Wilson and how he nuked any racial progress made since the Civil War? Or how Lyndon Johnson fabricated the Tonkin Bay incident to justify the Vietnam War? Or Obama giving that drone strike order that led to 153 innocent people trying to have a wedding getting blown to smithereens? Or the Zebra murders, where a group of African Americans were going on a mass murder spree of white people in San Francisco in the late 60’s?
