RE: New on Netflix: The Irishman

in #movies4 years ago

I enjoyed it as well and is definitely worth watching. I noticed the Kennedy assassination has been linked to the mob on a couple of movies/series now for the actions he took once elected.I had heard of Jimmy Hoffa before, but had no idea how he fitted in and that I found interesting. These guys are looking way past their sell by dates and Pesci is looking his age.

Sort:  

There was something about them actually making Pesci look older than he actually is but at that point i was already up to 700 words so i skipped it. Basically they made DeNiro look younger in some parts but to compensate for it they made these guys who are past their sell-by date (lol, btw) look older than they are in certain scenes as well.

They had to make De Niro look younger as he had a family and had to show his kids growing up. I must admit some of the scenes they probably had very little make up. I thought it was funny watching them in prison as it was like an old age home.
