<U>I highly recommend THE IRISHMAN. It's the perfect final chapter to Scorsese's four-film mafia series. It will definitely get a Best Picture Oscar nomination; currently it's the odds-on favorite, but that could change by year's end.<C><U>I recently saw THE IRISHMAN.<PN>get_movie_attribute<PAN>name.movie<PAV>THE IRISHMAN<PAN>attribute<PAV>name.person<PR>get_movie_attribute<PRAN>name.person<PRAV>Martin Scorsese's<A>Martin Scorsese's new movie?<U>Yes, it's his fourth mafia-based film.<A>I really liked CASINO and Goodfellas.<U>This one is the same, in that it's based on true stories.<A>Sounds promising.<U>But very different, in that it doesn't glamorize the organized crime lifestyle.<A>Is it preachy?<U>No, but brutally honest. It shows the profound cost of gaining power through brute force. The critics I trust most trust are raving about it.<A>More like MEAN STREETS?<U>Yes! In both films, someone's hubris leads to the demise of those around them.<A>In a way, you could say that about all four movies, no?<U>True. But because "wise guys" in THE IRISHMAN are nearing the end of their lives, and the glamour factor is replaced by a pedestrian, everyday milieu, it's very different.<A>I see.
I'm looking forward to seeing it.
