thank u! you spoil us

Ralph looks like he was digitally de-aged.
He snorted a lot of ketamine
@@ItsCamNYAN oof
Slathered himself with spaghetti sauce
Looks like somebody beat me to the ol’ ketamine-use accusation. Fuck!
Perpetually de-aged
One of my favorite parts of the movie is the "How they died" introductions of all these mobsters. Just shows how futile all their efforts are.
Tony Jack was the funniest one
Spoiler: The main character is Irish.
*JEsUs cHrisT*
Jeremy Coleman woah don’t go spoiling it like that that’s the main twist
Dude, what's wrong with you? I haven't seen the movie yet
Bigger Spoiler: movie is called The Irishman
Omg mind blown
The ending is what seals it. Time passes. He doesn't die. Everyone he knew does die or won't speak to him. He's alone. I didn't want to feel anything for him but I did.
He knows that all the sacrifices he made and the loyalties he held meant nothing once all of them were dead. Everyone he cared about he had pushed away, and everyone he pledged loyalty to was gone. At the end of his life, he had nothing left, and in the end he went quietly. He told almost nobody of what he did, and he became forgotten by time.
@devynchapman clearly not.
@devynchapman someone is salty
@devynchapman No u
devynchapman ur the definition of a troll. You don’t even have the decency to put a pfp on your account. And if you think it is one of the worst movies of the year than you don’t know movies. It’s not as good as parasite or marriage story, but it’s too 5
I haven't seen Al "Dunkacino" Pacino in a movie this good since Jack & Jill.
Where was his Oscar for THAT 10/10 film huh?
At least Al Pacino is doing films like this, never put an Oscar winning actor in a shit film like jack and jill
@@КГБКолДжорджКостанца wtf
yeah, a couple of hack frauds I know told me Jack & Jill was horrible
@@imperfect_dan7519 I meant jack and jill, sorry in our country
"There was a kid in there, with his dad... cool?"
I like it. One kid goes one way, the kid's dad goes the other way, and this guy Ralph's sayin' : "What d'ya want from me?"
As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be Ralph.
i laughed
@@atomicdancer that's amazing
atomicdancer I read this in Pesci’s voice
*SPOILERS*
I thought the whole point of Frank's family being in the background with little-to-no dialogue was to emphasize how his criminal life was his main focus. Ending with him realizing that it was too late to make amends. I dunno, I thought it was subtle and done well. Scorcese must have done it for a reason, wives in his gangster movies are usually a lot better characterized.
The way the movie looks - lighting and fashion - reinforces the idea that this is framed through a lens of regret. There's NO glitz and glamour here, no fond memories. This is a desaturated retrospective of a man who has damned himself to die alone.
This film is Scorsese completely deconstructing the glamorous gangster lifestyle he crafted over the years in his career as a director. This movie is the legacy he wants to leave behind.
Okay, but how does it tie into the MCU?
tuxandashotty fuck the mcu is overrated
TROLL KING thank you, Captain obvious
Scorsese brilliantly referenced the MCU in an interview where he basically called it non-cinema due to how it has very little to offer as far as art is concerned. He had quite a bit to say, but the most important observation he made was noting how the MCU is more like a carnival ride.
@@johnnybensonitis7853 You'd think he'd top that statement off with something better than this movie.
@@nemanjajovanov Yikes! U no like?
Meh, not as good as Gotti imo.
You'll never see another one like him if you live to be ten thousand.
You're a stupid idiot.
Khang Ho 🤦♂️
@@themarinect "Good, good, got it, great, good!"
Khang Ho exactly!
Netflix: "They say It was supposed to be an easy 1 hour movie"
Scorcese: "Will it ain't no easy hour they got 3"
Perfect mate
devynchapman ur a complete moron. How many places you gonna comment ur troll POV? Get off the site
Original...
@devynchapman it took you a whole ass month to think of that rebuttal, Adam Pearson looking ass bitch
Best comment here
I disagree on Anna Paquin. Her character is a character that is scared of her father. She knows the type of man he is, right from that early scene or him beating up a store clerk. This fear is shown in her shaking voice when she can barely ask her father if he called Jimmy's wife after he disappeared. She knows he was involved in his disappearance and loved Jimmy as a father. From them on she knew the best way to hurt him was to completely remove him from her life. Sometimes you don't need a lot of lines to make something feel powerful.
I agree, without lines she becomes like a ghost haunting him. She expresses so much emotion just from the looks she gives over the course of the film.
I agree she is powerful but think you radically misinterpret. His daughter does not "fear" but HATES him - the film is explicit she admires Hoffa and is horrified when she knows he killed his friend and has gotten away with it. I read her look as she is disgusted with him not that she is afraid. IMO.
@@darkthorpocomicknight7891 For most of the film, it´s a lot about fear. His other daughter, Dolores, puts it best about how they couldn´t go to him because of the horrible things he would do. Peggy hated him after finding out that he murdered Jimmy, but up until then it was just a distance because she was either scared of him or just didn´t like him much
@@errwhattheflip No. I got that. I think Anna did great as the daughter - her idolizing Jimmy made sense
I just felt Scorsese kept getting lost in tangents - commenting on unions in American history, the JFK assassination, redoing some parts of Goodfellas, etc.
People say Snyder had a bloat-filled thing with JL I disagree but the Irishman felt like bloat with steroids for no reason
ralph kinda looks like joe pesci with this dim lighting
He looks like him specifically in raging bull, same hair
Ralph looks like Joe Pesci in general
Ralph is joe Pesci after retirement
True Story:
I'm from SE Michigan and my grandfather was a Teamster. I knew this from the age of 17 (or so) but no big deal was ever made of it because TONS of people everywhere are Teamsters. It's just a truck driver lol.
However, my grandfather retired as a cement layer and drove cement trucks rather than semis or the like. Still, who cares, right?
He had always loved Frank Sinatra and all things of that period that a war vet would like. He was a playboy until his death and I always remarked that he seemed like a retired gangster to me my entire life. He never said anything of the sort, had no affiliation that I knew of and we aren't Italian (lol).
After he passed away I'm looking at old pictures with much of my family and he has pictures of him with Jimmy Hoffa...and other notorious "types" around Detroit from that period.
Turns out that before he drove a cement truck he drove for a few major auto-supply dealers in the Detroit area.
Cool but, again, so what, right? Jimmy Hoffa was a major figure and the head of the union, ffs. It's likely that he'd have had a quick picture taken with Hoffa in his years as a teamster.
Well, there are more pictures...and these are at Jimmy Hoffa's home and other places they frequented casually.
I'm fucking stunned as nobody seems all that surprised. I finally make sure everyone knows what the fuck they're looking at and all but my Mom and Aunt aren't even sure of who Hoffa was! Then my Mom and Aunt say "oh, yeah, dad was friends with Jimmy Hoffa. He was in with all those guys."
Casual as shit!
My mind is blown and I'm at a damn wake!
I ask what they meant by "in with" and they said they didn't know beyond they being friends to the point that Hoffa was at a few of their birthdays. Right as they say it a picture of my Aunts 4th or 5th birthday is shown and Jimmy Fucking Hoffa is holding her in a picture, clearly trying to make her laugh as she isn't enjoying it (lol).
I then HAVE TO ASK if my grandpa was mobbed-up. I have to! 😅
They couldn't say either way but both admit it was very likely not the case.
However, my sister then recalls a story she already told many of us years prior. I guess my oldest sister was a bit put-off or thrown when my grandpa approached her on what was her 17th birthday. She just bought her own car, her first car, and she was going to go pick up her boyfriend after the gathering.
My grandpa went up to her privately and said something he had never come remotely close to saying before. He tells her in a very serious tone:
"This boy of yours, if he or any boy ever gives you any trouble, let me know. I have friends that will fix them right up"
He supposedly then smiled, kissed her cheek and that was that.
She told us back then as almost a funny thing. Like, she told us that day because she found it so funny and out of character for him to say it. She literally joked that "grandpa knows mob guys or something".
Now, about 20 years later she tells it again and we're hearing it, remembering it, as we see pictures of him with JIMMY HOFFA and other dudes that were dressed about as gangster as you could be 😅
These dudes look right out of a Scorsese film.
Wild shit. I still have no idea if it was anything beyond being friends. 100% true story.
Hey
This is my copypasta
You stole it from reddit
@@fabiancalderon6729
Hey. No it isn't and no I didn't but cool meme.
@leah rose
Yes lol
No, it was wild shit. I went from having no idea to finding out after he's gone from my mom and aunt that acted like it wasn't a big deal. Bizarre, tbh.
@@DannyWilliamH post some pica guy
@@aurorab4553
Where? Well, I could possibly make a small video and upload it here.
First I have to get the actual pictures and I'm not exactly sure who had them (it can only be about 4 people so it shouldn't be hard to locate).
The real difficulty comes from them not being seen as particularly special in anyone's eyes. I was and still am stunned by it all but they're not framed or anything. Just loose pictures being shared over a projector at a wake.
I'll try to get them though. It could be cool to share.
Id love to hear you talk about Robert Eggers "The Lighthouse" whenever you can, saw on Twitter you gave it 5 stars
Illegal Dad they will talk about it on the next sardonicast
Check Sardonicast
Great movie from the director of Boxcar Bertha,starring Dirty Grandpa,That cameo from Jack and Jill and Harry from Home alone.
You tried to pick a bad Scorsese movie for the bit but that’s actually a good exploitation film.

I had heard of the Irishman but now that my favourite Joe pesci clone said it was good I'll definitely check it out.
I can’t believe they got the Irish man before his tragic death on the Murray Franklin show

Eh he got what he fucking deserved

Hey Ralph, my grandfather actually donated his boat to this production - the vessel that was blown up was actually his in Hempstead Harbor. Look for his name, Saul Janusas in the credits.
That's amazing.
Really cool story man, your grandpa seems like an awesome man. Hope you both enjoyed the film.

Last time I was this early John Travolta was a good actor
You clearly haven´t seen The fanatic. Fucking amazing performance. 10/10
1997residente bruh
He’s never been a bad actor, he just goes for horrible scripts lately and is given bad direction. If Tarantino put him in another film (which I’d love to see) people would be praising him again.
He's a good actor. You can jump on that bandwagon and insult him off of a few bad movies, but he didn't write them, he just acted. Ated under the director's guidance.
Don't bring up the 3 decades of amazing john travolta films. Just bring up Fanatic and Gotti, bc you know nothing lol
Temmie Plays! I agree, but he was just joking around. It’s not a big deal
Just when I was about to go to bed. Damn you.
It's only a 12min video...you"ll live.
Good night girl. I’ll see you tommorow
It's 6am please help
It's 9:30am in russia
no u.
12 minutes and 42 seconds yet you failed to answer if there is any reference to/appearance of gabagool 😐
Gabagool? Over Here!!
I think that's what they ate in the restaurant. Gabagool with a side salad, not on top
Eh it’s okay but gotti on the other hand is just a masterpiece.
You are a man of culture. I respect u
Gotti > The Godfather
Yeah....I said it
dude that's so funny
Neither of them can hold a candle to The Fanatic.
@@scifinerd17 bruh, I'll just leave you alone cause that was just shocking for me
The end of this movie was depressing as hell and made me real damn side and scared of death.
Ralph: You know, I’m something of a Italian gangster myself.
Anna Paquin's character was purposely used. She was always disnat because she was scared of her dad.
The final 30 minutes or so of the movie completely winded me
Robert De Niro and Al Pacino are actually trying ? what year is this ?!
Not just "trying". Their performances in this movie are among the best in their career
@@amanms1999 I wouldn't go that far. Good but not great
With a legendary director at the helm, anything is possible.
The year that Adam Sandler also tries
It's alright, but Aquaman is still the best gangster movie.
Actually no. Another underwater movie is the best gangster movie. And that movie is Shark Tale.
Ralph, you're doing a great cosplay of Eraserhead.
How does he resemble Eraserhead
@@karmalotus22 the hair dude
@@karmalotus22 ...His appearance...
My first viewing of the Irishman was this weekend on my couch, and while this may just be me, I think that it fit incredibly well. The movie deals with a man losing his life, and sitting alone on your couch eating stale ChexMix adds to the emotions the film puts you through.
You shoulda ate Total cereal to genuinely feel how Sheeran was feeling.
Edited because im apparently a little kid who likes batman v superman and blindly defends comic movies because I simply thought the joker movie was good and try to correct people like ralph the (im better then you movie maker) when they get info wrong 🤷♂️
yes.
Here's my review have a watch
ua-cam.com/video/xUY99Z7XiIk/v-deo.html
Luigi Nastro over what?
Ralph can get things wrong. Joker is still boring and awful.
It was a great film, but I felt it needed some modern party music to spice things up like a pitbull song 👌🏽
Lmao
I remember Once Upon A Time In America (1984) where they pre-aged DeNiro and James Woods. 35-year-old prosthetics look better than state-of-art CG.
How?
Taylor Lemoine what you talking about? OUATIA is the best fucking movie ever. Better than gotti for me
@Taylor Lemoine if you think that asking whether you or someone falls asleep during a film is anything in the way of criticism,or that falling asleep in front of once upon a time in america and then criticisizing the film for it should mean anything other than your credibility is non existent then what the fuck are you even doing here? I mean, you criticize once upon a time in america because it was slow?! Like not even the bare minimum respect to come up with something better than "i was bored?", really? I mean at least say something that looks like criticism, even sort of
I still can’t believe Martin Scorsese directed Gotti
This is like The Expendables but with actors that played gangsters instead of buff guys
this movie really feels like the finale to the scorsese mob genre of films
I love how netflix is paving a way for people to make more longform stories come to life.
dude i watched it on netflix . i was so excited by the fact it was soo long . i watched it in chunks . for 2 days i was simmering in good ol scorsese fun.
tanish adarkar I’m doing the same right now. 👍🏼
Ralph is actually really skilled at talking. He can call on his memory of such a long movie and able to articulate what he felt about the movie so well.
It's generic and shallow, he should just stick to making fun of bad movies
No u
Alright Sjors you give it a try. Mr.funnyman can’t be just funny all the time, especially discussing something he’s passionate about. Sound like that family guy joke were he heard someone else say “shallow and pedantic”. If you feel strongly enough to hate on him then I look forward to your response.
@@sjorshoeijmans5442 You should probably stick to watching vine compilations.
Talking about a 3+ hour movie right after you've seen it and all you have is 12 minutes and change, using "like" every other word. Yea...VERY ARTICULATE. These kinds of comments come from someone whose primary source of film reviewing comes from UA-cam. Here, read a REAL review.
www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2019/11/netflix-irishman-review-martin-scorsese-robert-de-niro/601261/
I loved the contrast between the huge dinner they had in Franks honor where Jimmy said how many friends he had, to the end of the movie where he had no one left. Definitely gonna be thinking about this one for years to come.
3:18 We're introduced to this character, Jimmy Hoffa, which is based on a real guy. ??????
Let me guess, the guy he was based on was also named Jimmy Hoffa.
Im looking forward to seeing it in netflix 25 days later
0:12 How dare you leave out Al Pacino. That's an insult, Ralph.
First Ralph said that the movie was 4 hours long, then he said it was 3 1/2 hours long. Then he said it was 3 hours long. If this review had gone on longer, the movie would have been 30 minutes long😂
I like casino more than goodfellas both great films though
@Aaron9 no u
I think the worst part about the de ageing was Robert de Niro’s eyes, it just didn’t look right with his blue eyes, when he first appeared in his truck near the start I was so taken off guard, the only other problem I had was that hand stomping scene, it really looked like an old guy kinda stumbling around, but I really wouldn’t want it any other way, I love that these actors came together to make one last gangster film together, even if it doesn’t quite work all of the time
Props for throwing "In The Still Of The Night" in the background
I finally saw it
Its a great film
Not Scorsese's best Film or his best Mob Film
Truthfully its not as engrossing as GoodFellas or deranged as The Wolf of Wall Street but it does pack as much of a Tragic Shakespearean tale style storytelling as his film Casino.
But the last hour of Al Pacino,Joe Pesci and Deniro is a downright cinematic wallop in professional actors doing their best craft.
Joe Pesci character was really the complete opposite of his usual Mob Characters but hes just as great.
"50 or so" nope. Frank Sheeran is like 36 when he meets Russell Bufalino
Ralph is a bit over 15, so 35 is 50 for him.
When the young host has to say that Jimmy Hoffa was based on a real person. I know I’m getting old.
You said the de-aging showed him over a 30 year span starting in his 50's. You're right in that he always looked at LEAST 50, but that's not the ages he was portraying. He's shown at different points in the movie in his 20's, 30's, 40's, and so on. At no point did he ever look any younger than 50, and at best his movements looked like someone in their late 60's.
This feels like Ralph’s most honest review
One of the better reviews of The Irishman on YT right now
Never been here early enough to see how many people still comment “first”...
I'm not alone
“I just like Martin Scorsese, and I like Goodfellas”.. you are the best!
Why would I watch this when I have Sleepless?
Go watch gotti
Best quote, “Jimmy Hoffa was based on a real guy”. Thank you, Ralph. Who could’ve known that?
Have to point out that it starts with Sheeran in one scene in a flashback in his twenties during ww2, then for the first act in his thirties. In both he looks like he's in his fifties. You can de-age a 77 year old De Niro so far.
Must be why Ralph said 50. The dude just never looked younger than 50.
it definitely stood out but all in all I was invested enough in the stories and the characters to let it go
this movie is like that meme "the guys , the guys have died"
How?!?
Holy shit
good meme
Anna Paquin was underused, but still pivotal to Frank's story arc
Best mafia movie since Shark Tale
I haven’t pooped in two weeks and my insides are hurting please send help
Mr.Moviemaker, have you ever thought of doing a gangster documentary and posting it on this channel?
I think you should do that.
I will watch it.
I thought “in the still of the night” was used really effectively in this movie
Ralph, why must you upload at 1:30 am, I got shit to do tomorrow.
This isn’t gonna stop me from watching it, but goddamn
If after watching Goodfellas and The Godfather everyone wanted to be a gangster, after watching the Irishman no one should ever want to go so far as to even steal gum from a grocery store.
What did it for me was that moment near the end, when Frank is buying his own coffin. It is gut-wrenching. The absolute misery in that scene...
Back in the day he was the man. He had money, power, connections. Everyone feared him. And now he has to prepare for his own funeral, alone, miserable... He even has to bargain for a price on his own coffin. Can't even go out in style.
That 10 year old Ralph was really great and insightful, you should get him on more often.
This was the best film of 2019 for me.
Bro a story like that you cannot condense into an hour and a half. Martin Scorsese is a god.
I hope that Martin Scorsese sees this. Your analysis is great and you're a genuine fan. He'd love it, I'm sure.
Holding out for Ralphthehomemoviemaker a channel in which ralph discovers his true self through home movies but turns into a Sinister-esque experience in which he realizes his inevitable doom....... or could make birdemic 3......
Al Pacino was so fucking loud in the theatre, the speakers were blaring as he was roaring about Bobby Kennedy. 10/10, did not feel like a 5 hour film.
But theres no Nicholas cage doing three diffrent accents 0/10
This movie was way more hilarious than I expected. That guy eating the watermelon soaked in liquor so Jimmy wouldn't know was great! But, pretty heartbreaking there at the end. Fucking incredible movie.
I didn't even know this movie came out. Thank you for taking the time to see it in a real theater. That sounds like the ideal way to watch something as detailed as this.
The netflix release might be to mask some of the iffy visual effects? The decision to release it on that platform seems odd to me.
P.S. Are you the guy from that ""H'am da Joke-ah, baybee!" video? You kind of look like that guy.
Before clicking on this the auto translation read “making a cringe film” instead of crime film, and I thought oh boy here we go ;)
Ralph posted two videos not 3 years apart? I must be dreaming
I tried on multiple occasions to get through this film but it was just too boring for me. In nearly every aspect. It's unbelievable to me that people would enjoy it. But that's how movie opinions go.
Hoffa was my favorite character I’ve seen in a movie in a while. That whole scene when Frank had to kill him was incredible. I felt so bad when it actually happened
Ralphie, I want your input about the motif of water in "The Irishman". This may be a stretch but I saw water as a means of washing away memories, sins, and to recognize what is forgotten will never be recovered. I won't go into spoilers but there are several shots and scenes that use water as a means of washing away Frank's deeds and I think it's super important as a subliminal message.
That's possible.
You know what is tight?
Talking with spoilers about a movie that isn't even out yet.
I literally avoided clicking on this video, because I want to see it first; but, man, I couldn’t help it..
Cool
Congrats you're first
I think that movies like this and Parasite, and even the Joker expose an underlying class conflict in our society that is being ignored by the larger Hollywood elite who pick easy issues like representation to focus on. But it's interesting to me because Scorsese and De Niro are the classic Hollywood liberals that produced this issue. Like Parasite is very forward thinking, while the Irishman is about learning from past mistakes.
*record scratch* jim norton plays don rickles??
I know, right? Norton gets to play his hero in a Scorcese film?! Wow!
Great view. I watched the whole thing in chunks
I'll watch it. But there'll be an intermission. I do like Scorcese.
The film was so long ? 3 hours + ? lol I watched the entire final season of breaking bad in one single sitting.
Perfect to watch before sleep. ♥️

Goodfellas really captured what that era was like huh? How would you know if you didn't live in that era?
damn, its coming out that quickly. good review
The effects were good, but you could tell that everyone in the movie was old. The movies takes it's time and that's not a bad thing, but theres not the same kind of energy. This movie is low on Scorsese's totem pole.
