Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I’m your host Deffinition and you’re now locked into the channel where we break down all the latest movies, new game releases, tv shows and comic books.
After a limited Theatrical Release, The Irishman is finally out worldwide on Netflix and throughout this video we’re gonna be breaking down everything that you need to know about the movie.
This is a sort of recap of the entire film or rather a TL:DR of the 3 and a half hour epic and throughout we’re gonna be giving our thoughts on the movie and it’s ending.
There will be heavy spoilers here so if you haven’t had a chance to watch The Irishman yet and don’t want to know what happens then I highly suggest that you turn off now.
With that out the way I just wanna give a huge thank you for clicking this video, now let’s get into our breakdown of The Irishman.
The Irishman is based on the book I Heard You Paint Houses by Charles Brandt.
In real life Sheeran was born in Darby Pennsylvania and his father Thomas was himself a house painter…like an actual house painter and along with his mother Mary he had a relatively simple childhood.
There’s sort of a flashback within a flashback and a Frank recounts a road trip that feels like a stroll down memory lane. However, the plot really kicks off in the 1950s when we join Sheeran distributing meat deliveries for a company known as Food Fair to Pennsylvanian businesses.
After breaking down on the road, Frank is helped by a man named Russell played by Joe Pesci who helps him out but refuses to give his name.
Now from the off I think most people will be taken aback or rather not taken aback by the de-aging technology that the film uses. The effects are seamless and if you didn’t know that the majority of the makeup was CGI then I doubt you would even really notice. I heard mixed things about their implementation with some saying that they didn’t really work but honestly I really thought that they worked well throughout the movie and it’s a highlight of just how far the technology has come on since it’s introduction in the MCU…even if Scorsese hates those movies.
Anyway Frank gets in bed with the mob, running similar deliveries for local gangsters, stealing directly from his company in order to allow them to run their supply chain.
De Niro completely knocks it out of the park and due to the effects this is like watching the actor in his prime, delivering a cold faced performance that definitely feels like a strong oscar contender especially because he had to do about 200 takes of him throwing a gun into a lake. There are some moments where you can see the actor is struggling with his age, namely when he beats up a shop keeper but on the whole, keeping him as a man that is slightly over the hill was a smart choice that means the work isn’t that jarring.
Even the side characters played by the likes of Harvey Kietel, Fat Damon and Bobby Cannavale all provide nuances to their performances and an undertone of darkness that makes the tense moments even that much more intimidating.
Soon Sheeran comes face to face with Jimmy Hoffa, played expertly by Al Pacino.
Al Pacino is one of the only actors that could have pulled this role off and due to his stature he relishes the part exceeding at filling the shoes of the person labeled as ‘The Most Powerful Man In The Country’ next to The President. He’s charming when the moment calls for it, playing dumb with a smirk on his face in order to get passed the authorities and he’s probably my favorite out of the cast.

    The movie was great. An epic mob movie done by the maestro in his classic style. The only thing that put me off a bit were those rejuvenating CGI effects which made some of the characters (especially Deniro's character) look unnatural. In the scene where frank is beating up a grocery store owner, he looks really awkward: relatively young face and an old man's body and stance. This is a minor issue though, and otherwise I've really enjoyed the film.

    The ending is emotionally wrenching, It was very poignant, after Hoffa's death in the movie and Robert De Niro's stellar broken man performance, made the movie quite difficult to watch, but I am sure this one of the ending that will stick with cinema lovers for the decades to come. The runtime really doesn't feel long, the movie does meditate on its characters and meander a little bit at times, its still constantly riveting, it feels like 2 hour 45 mins, it is that well edited. You will on the edge of your sofas (BAD PUN----- you get the idea tho)

I found it easy to become fixated in the characters, the story and the events that the length of the movie became irrelevant. I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much had they shortened it.

    What a movie! I feel like that shot could double as the another suggestion towards Sheeran's understated but repeatedly voiced fear of dying. The claustophobia of living in the nursery home in his old age and having been isolated through a mixture of prison and his friends dying of old age must have given him the same impression as being in his coffin. He is uneasy at the idea of the door closing and it representing his finality. Just an opinion though.

    The film was absolutely powerful! But I'm not sure how the ending of this movie needs "explaining". It's pretty straightforward. Plus, you don't actually seem to delve into the ending or any of the visual symbolism or call backs in it (like Frank leaving his door open, just like Jimmy did when they first met). I'd consider subscribing to you if you didn't rely on click-bait for your video titles.

    The Choad Warrior yeah it’s not some mystery. It’s almost like a closed book ending for all martins gangster films. Not leaving on a high note for gangsters. Like Sheeran said, he didn’t like burials or cremations, because it was too final. This ending was final. You could cut and paste this ending to Goodfellas and casino. This is the sad real life repercussions of a career in crimes. Loneliness and abandonment. It’s hard to swallow this ending. And not feeling how terrible it would be to be in the same position

    @@Yamas258 your comment and the description of "that life" made me picture Michael Corleone in Godfather III, when he dies alone, (in infamy) in the chair outside in the yard, leans over and croaks. The BOSS man died, and nobody gave a fuck. His death affected No one. Except his family of course. And perhaps his enemies might have benefited somehow from his death.... And its not just dying alone in the physical sense, that is really sad and unfortunate, but dying alone in mind, heart, and of course in spirit. Too often movies, music, and media in general portray all the glitz and glamour of the Gangster lifestyle (John Gotti-when he was alive- for example). Rarely does one get to see the reality of truly 'living by the gun, and dying by the gun.' (Lookup Gotti's last days in prison). Most of the time, these guys have been slowly-eaten-alive by their own conscience for so long that death is almost welcomed, as their only escape, to ease the pain of the guilt, shame, and resentments of living a gangster, selfish, cold-hearted, often violent, money and power driven lifestyle. And for those who might possibly disagree with my comment (my opionion), then you at least have to agree with the fact that, there are indeed people who choose this lifestyle and have no issues with their occupation whatsoever. Some actually love their line of work. They can sleep just fine after capping 2 or 3 guys and then dismembering their corpses. And to them it is just business and they get adjusted to this way of life. They have no nightmares or regrets. They can attend their child's birthday party with a body in the trunk of their car. No problem right...... Those folks my friend, do indeed exist today, as they did generations ago,and those folks are what we refer to, as Fucking Pychopaths.....

In the book, Frank said that he had to go by the name “Whispers“ because his breath was so bad that the bosses forced him to ‘whisper’ around them. Frank said that, his halitosis was so bad, “nobody wanted to get a full breath of whispers. It was like he was growing onions in there.“.

Scorsese is "Old Man Yelling At The Clouds" when it comes to comic book movies but he is still a master filmmaker after all of these years.

    @3:49 - my thoughts exactly when I watched the film. They should have/could have edited that part better. It’s one thing to suspend belief with the de-aging of the face throughout, but I just couldn’t look past that scene. I just can’t pretend that De Niro is this huge, tough hit man - especially after this. If you’re going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to make them look younger, a more creative way could have been thought of to make this scene believable. It’s De Niro’s best work in decades - unfortunately, there is going to be some nitpicking.

    De Niro's performance was as expected, excellent, Pesci's performance kept me on the edge of my seat. But Pacino...it was a spectacle every scene he was in! And Ray Romano, maybe intentionally by Scorsese, provided most of the comic relief, but outstanding performance just the same. Paquin's cold, accusing and stabbing stare at his father after the disappearance of Hoffa felt real.

    Scorsese doesn't hate MCU movies, please don't spread this nonsense. He has stated many times, that he has respect for the work and artists of the MCU projects, he just personally doesn't consider superhero movies "real cinema" in the sense, that they are very similiar and are mainly entertainment like rollercoaster rides. He never said that he hates the MCU, he never said that. He is just not interested in these flicks, that's a completely different story. He is interested in the history of film and how it develops the future, he cares about movies and what legacy he leaves behind. That's all. It's very disprespectful to put words in his mouth that he never said. So his constant asking of "Do you follow?" in interviews comes with a damn good reason, because people like you don't listen. You want to explain the movie, but you seem to no really care about Scorsese it seems. With nearly 150k subscribers you have a responsibility, because the things you say inspire the views of many people.

    Excellent recap! I really enjoyed the movie, and the length was OK as far as I'm concerned. Scorsese is a genius! He has assembled a talented cast, and as a plus, I loved the the 1950s music, especially "In the Still of the Night." This was a doo-wop song that came out in 1955 by the Five Satins. The nostalgic song starts the movie off in great rock 'n roll tradition. Everything was authentic as far as I can tell. As a former resident of suburban Detroit, I am familiar with the Machus Red Fox restaurant in Bloomfield Hills where Hoffa had his last meeting. Since the movie was NOT filmed in Detroit (I always watch the credits), this was a CGI creation. Still, it was realistic. Kudos to Scorsese, DeNiro, Pacino and Pesci. Oh, Anna Paquin was very good as well. Thank you for this KZread video!

    For people who like the Irishman, Boardwalk Empire, the Sopranos and/or Peaky Blinders, there’s a show on the Epix app which you can get standalone or for $5.99 on Amazon or a seven day free trial and it has a show on it called “The Godfather of Harlem“ with Forest Whitaker. It’s about Bumpy Johnson and his rise throughout Harlem as a gangster. It has all the characters of a 1960s piece from RFK to Malcolm X, to Hoover etc. If the name sounds familiar it’s because he was the guy who Denzel Washington was meant toward by in training day and eventually to go before. It’s probably the best so well which is receiving no credit. Though it has like a 95% approval rating on RT.

Frank's wife works for the union and she gets insider info. You missed discussing the important parts of the later days. Russ went to church, then the hospital then died (seems euthanasia). Until the end, Frank was not able to talk to his favorite daughter Peggy. If you are a parent, you will understand the depth of this part.

    When the soldiers were digging their own graves he didn't understand why they kept digging He thought maybe if they did a good job he wouldn't kill them. But by the end i think he finally understood. I think that story was a metaphor for him digging his own grave as soon as he got in bed with the mob, and he had to keep digging, by killing to stay alive. Doing "the good job". Not as he lied to himself his whole life to protect his family. But in the end what did that get him he would die alone, unloved and unremembered. That's also why i think he didn't kill Hoffa. The Nurse didn't know who Hoffa even was. Him making that story up and telling it to Charles Brandt the author of "I heard you paint houses" at the end of his life was so that people would at least remember him. I also think the end of the film is before he tells the story to Brandt and is the moment he starts thinking about it and if people will even remember him.

    I loved it. At the end of the day we don't know what or who killed Jimmy but we all have our theories. Same with JFK. The MOB never admitted to it, but we know when. you get on the Badside of the Sicilian Mafia or LCN, we know you simply go. Jimmy knew that, some men were simply too powerful to kill, and going around making statements about it usually ends you up on the whacked list. I Think that was more so the point of the Film. And if anyone can watch the The Godfather trilogy and Goodfellas and shit like that in full length, they can watch this. I simply don't think the length is a good reason to walk out on a movie. Unless you think it's its bad wholetime. And yeah the murder was just....But that's how it happens. One minute you here, the next. Its lights out. Same with the ending. Sometimes your decisions take away from the things we enjoy most in life.
