It's been stated by associates that Capone himself wasn't actually a violent person. Guy didn't get into fights, go on rampages, or beef with business partners. People don't like to accept that Capone was really a partying man who was given the foundation of The Outfit. Nobody actually knows if it was his crew, or O'bannions, that shot Torrio. Dean's boys were still very much around and wanted revenge for their boss. Either way, it scared Torrio out of town.

That look on the barber's face knowing he could've been ordered to die that day! What a relief when Capone lets it go as something minimal and also to show a little cut like that doesn't bring out the worst in him except when people try to steal from him like from the table dinner scene where he whacks a bad business partner!

Okay for those saying Robert De Niro sucks as Al Capone, because he looks nothing like him.... There have been plenty of movies where the actor playing the person looks nothing like the REAL character portrayed. The most recent example, Tom Hanks in his new movie Captain Phillips. Tom Hanks looks NOTHING like the character of the same name. Do you hear any critics complaining about that? No it's an amazing movie, and I haven't heard anyone complain once. Those saying that this movie isn't good because it is only loosely based on facts. Well, so is The Zodiac, Captain Phillips, Black Hawk Down, and countless other great movies. I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you want to call this a bad movie at least come equipped with some good reasons. Maybe people don't want a completely factually retelling, The last time I checked this movie never claimed to be a factual retelling of events, but just a movie based in the times that have real people in it. Did I miss a law that was passed that barred historical fiction?

I understand your point but almost everyone knew what Al Capone looked like.

I'm a De Niro fan btw and even as a kid I knew he didn't look like Capone but still loved the movie. I understand your frustration with the reasons why people disliked De Niro as Capone. Stephen Graham didn't look like him in Boardwalk Empire but he pulled it off too.

We all know the story about Prohibition, Capone, Chicago, the mob and it's repeal. The more I hear about Capone, the more I hear about some of his generosity. In any case; I don't see the big bad wolf with this guy.

Robert is one of the greatest actors ever

Someone probably answered this for you already, but the opera is "Pagliacci" by Leoncavallo. The clown role is Canio (in the film being performed by Mario Del Monaco), and the aria he is singing is"Vesti la giubba". Pavarotti and Placido Domingo have superb recordings of this piece.

It's interesting that Capone is one of the images of the Jazz Age and that many of the jazz greats got their start in speakeasies owned by Capone but like many Italian immigrants and 1st generation Italian-americans at that time, Capone himself preferred opera.

In every movie or TV series Al Capone is always portrayed as ten r twenty years older..then the actual man.. Capone was 28 years old when he was controlling Chicago

It's always bothered me that he never wiped the blood off his finger. He' surrounded by towels and yet just continues to speak without wiping the blood off, while waving his hand around 😆 Maybe it was supposed to be seen as a PR move - after this all the journalists would be writing about how he was so calm about the incident that he did not even wipe his blood off.

“ what does that man think he is doing “ is such a good Chicago accent

“I was a businessman; doing business”

In the barber's defense, Kapone did move his head around while getting a straight shave, he should've known better.

I bet you like those ''wise lines'' even more than me.

I wish capone had more time on the screen in this film.

The best opening lines a Bad Guy can get. The Departed and The Untouchables.

that's how old school gang used to. claiming that they were business man.

Capone loved attention and the bigger and more powerful he became, the more care free he became. He thought nobody could touch him.

Bravo!!! Bravo!!! No body can act better than Robert de Niro!!👌👍👍👏👏👏 Al Capone where have you gone, shall I also come along!!👍👍👍

Looks like he just shaved 10 minutes ago and he’s shaving again lol

Imagine if they put a fat suit on him and he was the age to play Tony soprano he would’ve killed it

That on Lakeshore Dr it's hospitality comment is a real quote from Capone himself. I belive it was said during an Interview with a journalist for the Tribune.

The beginning of the scene - with it's relatively stationary figures and De Niro lying back - reminds me of the end of Taxi Driver (after the cops enter the room).

So that's where al Bundy got the "Hand waistband tuck" from

*AL LOVED {CHICAGO} LOVED AL* (Great Depression) 120,000 meals are served by "Capone Free Soup Kitchen” the Chicago Tribune headlined on December 1931.

0:05 Hell, it sounds like Bain, from Batman.

This movie makes me love Chicago soooo much..LOL

The look on the barbers face when he cut de Niro .... priceless. 1:11

In fact, Capone did not get the scar from a barber, but, as far as I know, before he became (The Big Al), by a show girl in a nightclub

It’s crazy that Denaro had to pushback his hairline ALLLLLLL THE WAYYYYY BACKKKK for this role 🤣🤣
