vale9001 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) They' re calling it one of his best movies. According to most is Leonardo di Caprio best performance ever so he became a serious contender for his second oscar. The movie is described as a macabre epic western about greedy and evil whites against natives. Probably It will be really hard to find a stronger contender this year to almost every Oscar including best picture and director.

Irishman got raves too. Variety: "Instead of focusing his cameras on the Native victims, the 'Irishman' director lets Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro have the lion's share of the screen time in this meaty but demanding true-crime saga." It does at least sound more interesting than the book which was centered around the cop played by jesse plemons.

Saintlor Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Is this another film where Leo is playing a racist character? Critics love this stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vale9001 Posted May 20, 2023 Author Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) It's well know di Caprio, once involved, asked to re write the movie to get the perfect villain role to get his oscar. In the book the character has a minor role and it's not so negative. Also the female role became more central. The irish man was easily criticizable to be "old School" and "another Scorsese movie about gangsters". This seems to have the political themes on Its side.

They even went to Cannes 6 months before the release. Apple will make a never seen campaign and the Academy will love probably the last peak movie from one of the greatest. Last 2 years the award for best picture went to a bad forgettable movie and last year to an interesting particular movie. Not strange if next year they could choose a more classic big american movie.

After moonlight for example they gave it to a very traditional old style movie like green book. Edited May 20, 2023 by vale9001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miichael Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Looking forward to seeing this, Scorsese is a rare director who hasn't lost his touch after all these years 58 minutes ago, vale9001 said: It's well know di Caprio, once involved, asked to re write the movie to get the perfect villain role to get his oscar.
