    The symbolism actually run deep af this s*** transcends just being a "mafia" movie, also Pesci needs an Oscar because he was like a mediator holding every plot point together and slowly stitching the story with complete bipartisan activity. Showed Frank's loyalty in the end was fickle because he committed that murder and even though it weighed on him deeply it eventually was just business as usual and the biggest regret he had was getting locked up for that car and not being able to bond with his family.

    S*** ton of talking points, too many places to start, the build up in this, the pacing and storytelling is some of the best i've ever seen in cinema period

    he deserves an Oscar for his acting, not because his character is important in the plot. what kinda argument is tha??

    Goodfellas and Irishman are amazing sides of the same coin

    One glamorizing the mob life and the other showing the PTSD inducing dark sides of it, though both do that to an extent this s*** becomes an amazing character study on human conscious, morals, ethics, loyalty and regret and would work well as a late magnum opus for Papa S

    you said he "deserves an oscar because" and went on a rant about how much you liked his character.

    "he was a character actor in this, don't quote me with no bullshit"

    impossible

    I’m not talking quality
    The scope of the story and editing is on par with The Godfather Saga specially

    Especially part 2, touched on similar themes

    I love how complex their relationship was because Russ basically used Frank in every way to get what he wanted (using the gold ring as a way to buy his loyalty so he could get him to kill Jimmy, only telling him the bare minimum to persuade him to do things, etc.), but despite that there was a genuine relationship that is forged between them even if it is one out of using. "I chose us over them" is such a perfect send off for that character and a great line to capture how american institutions force people to be put into situations that becomes a matter of survival even in social situations.
