This came in 2019 and I heard quite a lot about the Irishman unfortunately I didn't get Netflix up until the end of last year. Thus movie sat in my watch list until I got to it. One of the many reasons it took me a while to get to was because this movie was 3hr 30m long. I love movies as much as the next person but a movie this long meant I needed to make sure I was in the right space to watch without distractions. I love how I read that apparently no one wants to see another DeNiro/Scorsese team up. Clearly those people are dumb. I am THAT person who will binge this team up, Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese are my inspirations. Wow. I feel like to understand this movie,you have to understand it's players or at least have heard of them. I wasn't familiar with majority of them besides Jimmy Hoffa and I only heard of him because Tim Burton did on a movie on Hoffa (which i haven't seen yet.). This is from the point of view of Frank Sheeran, a man who entered the ranks of crime and worked alongside Jimmy Hoffa. This tells of his time before and after Hoffa's disappearance. I personally hated that they revealed Hoffa's death purely because his disappearance is still unsolved. But the film is beautifully done. Visually and audibly,it's beautiful. You do have to pay attention because it plays with the storyline and code words used can be pretty easy to lose track of. Sadly it does start to fall flat towards the end of the movie but I think that maybe because of Jimmy Hoffa's death scene. The deaging threw me off, as someone whose seen DeNiro's early work. He definitely didn't start to look that old or out of shape until the late 90's/early 2000's. I may be bias because I love crime stories,biopics and the Scorsese/DeNiro team but I did enjoy the movie. #theirishman #iheardyoupainthouses https://www.instagram.com/p/COcCjbSn14r/?igshid=eez7vrfdgguh
