Can you please correct this (long) note? My brief overview on M.Scorsese's cinema. Martin Scorsese is one of the most renowed directors of the modern era. The American genius of cinema during his long and successful career has produced many movies, among which there are some authentic masterpieces of the seventh art, ranging from "gangster movies" to thrillers and dramas. His last craft is "The Irishman", a movie at first released on the big screen and only after some weeks on one of most famous streaming services of the world, namely Netflix. "The Irishman" is a sort of artistic testament of Scorsese, who put in this movie all his wisdom and greatness starting from the choice of the cast, which can rely on outstanding actors such as DeNiro, Pacino and Pesci, just to mention a few names. This movie is about the life of Frank Sheeran, an American gangster with Irish roots lived in the second half of 20th century, who is also the narrating voice of the film, and his relationship with other well-known gangsters, masterfully played by Pacino and Pesci. The movie follows on the heels of "Good Fellas", another Scorsese's piece of work (and a milestone of "gangster movies" genre). Despite that, "The Irishman" is more intimate, less flashy but equally effective and capable of blowing up our minds. Scorsese has always wanted his characters to be expressive, full of personality and he always had the capacity of leaving us speechless, not only using meaningful dialogues but also knowing perfectly how to make use of silences and gestures. Just think of "Taxi Driver", "Shutter Island" or even the biographical movie "The Wolf of Wall Street", which are the perfect examples of how well-developped characters (beyond awesome actors like DeNiro and DiCaprio) can carry on a whole movie. To make a long story short I want to add that I love when directors use the plot to shape their characters and not viceversa ("The Irishman" is a must-see from this standpoint). Every Scorsese's project enables the viewer to immerse itself fully in the movie, constantly trying to imagine and figure out what happens next. In my view the purpose of cinema is to give emotions to those who are watching the movie and I think that in the case in point Scorsese is almost always able to move both casual and long-time viewers. And in an ever-evolving industry like cinema it can't be taken for granted. To sum up, I would like to thank Scorsese for this movie and for constantly reminding us how peculiar and larger-than-life his movies are.
