Very definitely the best streamable original of the year.
Hey guys, Prometheus here to talk about “THE IRISHMAN!” (Yes, I do watch things other than horror!)
Martin Scorsese's "THE IRISHMAN" is a masterpiece. Period. It's a throwback to when films relied on acting and a tight story to keep your ass in the seat. I watched it the other night, and I was blown away by how damn good the film actually is. It was so good, that I was baffled to see people on social media calling it boring.
Look, I get it... "THE IRISHMAN" is a three and a half hour, dialogue-driven film with scarce action sequences. The spectacle of it is the actual performance of the actors. Which leads me to my point...
Have we become so used to high-end special effects and giant CGI explosions on the screen that we can no longer enjoy an in-depth character study with more nuanced and intimate performances? Is a strong actor with a phenomenal script no longer enough to hold our attention, without the "oohs and awes" of a major Hollywood blockbuster? Does one take away from the other, or can they co-exist? Hypothetical question.
Maybe I'm kicking a dead horse here, but I don't agree with Mr. Scorsese and his stance that Marvel films are not cinema. Yet, after seeing some of the reactions to his new film I can't help but understand his position. The art of telling a moving and deeply human story that touches audiences has been overshadowed by the art of "blowing shit up."
I like a good
