Zoso Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Has anyone else seen this movie? I'm not sure what prompted me to start this thread, but I just think this is an amazing movie. If you haven't seen it, but you like movies like Goodfellas, Casino, and The Godfather, you should check it out. It's got Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci (minor role), and James Woods, and is by far the best gangster movie I've ever seen. But only watch it if you have a whole afternoon to spare, b/c it's about 4 hours long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evangelical Capitalist Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 I've seen it twice, mostly because I like Sergio Leone's westerns. I thought it was awful. I'm a fan of The Godfather (haven't seen Goodfellas or Casino), but this one just didn't do it for me. The plot was pointless and plodding. None of the characters were likable. The main character (DeNiro) seemed to be just "along for the ride," going wherever and doing whatever his friends and his carnal urges demanded. The ending was implausible to say the least. Maybe someone could explain this movie to me, and give me a newfound appreciation for it. (I'm already aware of the "dream" hypothesis.)
