The point I got from the film is that the mob life in the end is a bad way to live...sure you can get money and "respect"...but you can also get killed over some complete bullshit (the guy who told someone he'd be going in to the feds but it didn't get relayed to the right guys so he got clipped for it), can never really trust anyone, and even if you're lucky enough to not get whacked or end up in prison you'll probably just end up a sick, grumpy old man like everyone else still hanging on to your glory days to make yourself feel better

watching the car scene the first time didn't click for me as much as the 2nd time...the "fish" smell, Frank refusing to sit in front (probably still uneasy and thinking Sallie might just clip everyone in the car), hugging Jimmy to put him at ease

also there's a video where Stephen Graham (Tony Pro) breaks down both those scenes with Pachino...long story short he got to improvise quite a bit...when he smacks the tray away from Hoffa in prison that legit surprised Pachino...Frank's "12 and a half" line when they're arguing about how long a person should wait for someone was also improvised as Stephen wanted have dialogue with DeNiro as well rather than have him just sitting there

Yeah that’s why we hve the biggest wage disparity of all time and the miminum wage hasn’t changed in a decade because unions have gone away in most jobs

Had been binging Sopranos before the movie came out. Went on a mafia binge after watching the movie, Casino and Goodfellas and tons of interviews and documentaries on YouTube.

I wanna watch Boardwalk Empire again tbh

great mov T_T

Surprised I sat through the whol e thing in one sitting
Had my attention the whole time

I Usually have 2 break long movies down

It's mostly twitter crowd who is complaining and, as we all know, they're special species, to put it mildly.

We did everything we could

Now I turn my back

He wanted to sit in the backseat because he knew Hoffa would have to sit in the backseat and he wanted to be close to him

Lmao this was good

My God... what a movie.
Ending had me in tears.

SPOILER

Seeing Frank degrade as a senior was absolutely gut wrenching. The emotional toll of having killed one of his best friends must’ve been devastating.

This movie

God I don’t wanna die alone

Pacino was great in this

The hags at the oscars will prolly award it a few underserved wins.

Just finished sopranos.. good follow up watch here, I’m guessing huh

If you are hungry for more mafia entertainment, yes :)

Need to binge mafia movies now

This was f***ing phenomenal. Wow

"Peggy....Peggy. I just want to talk...."

Should’ve given him a small role in the nursing home at the end, and just let him and DeNiro improvise two old guys shooting the s***.

Just heartbreaking how in the end Frank attempts to find some semblance of redemption for himself through faith, but it’s just too late. It’s a futile effort and he knows it, but he’s willing to try anything at that point

His daughter a whole psychopath for not hearing out her father tbh. Hated her character. He was doing what he did for his family. Selfish f***.
