Hi peeps The Irishman will mark the fourth time director Martin Scorsese has made an Italian Mafia movie starring Robert De Niro in a major role. I wanted to take this opportunity to have a look at Scorsese’s gangster pictures through the years, and explore The Irishman’s relationship with the previous films. Do we really need another mafia film? What can the upcoming crime film add to Scorsese’s résumé that hasn’t already been done? My personal hope is that The Irishman is more thought provoking than the previous 3 films. The most interesting thing for me is the 'old man/aging gangster' aspect about Frank Sheeran looking back on his life. It ties nicely with mean Streets being about lowlife degenerates, Goodfellas about middle-of-the-pack hoods, and Casino about made men. I made the below video briefly looking at the relationship between the 3 main gangster movies that Scorsese has done, and what potentially The Irishman could bring to the table, validating its existence: www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2qnx_S0MTQI'd be happy to hear your thoughts and criticisms.

As I posted in another thread, need? It's a movie. Watch it or don't watch it.

Why not make another gangster movie if you were him as you do what you know how to do best as this is his genre and he'd probably have no clue how to make a sci fi film i.e.
