Some people say I don't show enough appreciation?
Having just seen this magnum opus i can truly say i have enough appreciation and then some!
I tip my hat to Martin Scorcese for getting the band back together for one last gig.
I bow and kiss the boots of Joe Pesci,Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino and even Harvey Keitel in a small roll where all he had to do was look and barely speak.
Thank you Marty for making the type of movie I thought i'd never see again. The dialogue was sublime,it's old school acting with pauses and subtleties that make you think and full of Scorcese signature moments.
True there are no grand surprises in movie making here but as a fan of this genre it does't disappoint.
I spotted 5 characters from the Sopranos in small roles. Steve Van Zandt as the crooner was a laugh.
Then Pesci's character makes an ironic reference to the fairy Ferrie that he himself played in JFK.
This movie feels like nostalgia and it's meant to be. I walked out after this 3.5 hour marathon and stood at the urinal with all these other guys and we were all nodding to each other in relief for having survived and in joy for having witnessed an instant classic.
