I hear you want to go see a movie. I heard the Irishman, Joker, Gemini Man and The Addams Family are supposed to be really good.
Have you seen any of them? I've already seen Addams Family.
I saw the Irishman and Joker. Both were really good because they made you think and you left the theater in a deep trance.
Hmmm which one was more feel good? I like to feel good after a movie.
I understand. I tend to like to feel bad after a movie because then I know it effected me. I'd say The Irishman was more of a feel good movie between those two.
What's it about
Well its Scorsese doing another gangster movie. It's got the usual suspects, DeNiro, Pacino, Pesci, Keitel, and so on. Really good acting despite that weird de-aging nonsense they did.
Is it violent, I tend to like violence in movies.
It's a Scorsese gangster movie. There is absolutely no violence at all.
Really?
Of course there is violence you moron. Have you ever seen a non violent gangster movie? Plus my buddy Giacomo loved it!
Oh yeah? I know he has a great taste in movies.
Well I wouldn't go that far. He tends to like the same stuff that we do but he's one of those guys who has Boondock Saints posters in his room and shit like that.
How has the Irishman been received by critics?
Does that really matter to you? Critics are useless in the 21st internet age. They don't create any art, they just judge other peoples. Who cares if Epert was able to get enjoyment out of it. What should matter to you is what YOU get from this film.
Yes but don't you think their experience with the medium makes them more qualified than you or I when they judge what is good or bad art?
That's irrelevant! Why should you let someone else spoonfeed your opinions to you? Draw your own conclusions about the art. You don't have to understand the intricacies of line and form to find beauty in the sixteenth chapel!
Yes but it can enhance your experience to understand the various aspects of a piece of art. To not only see the beauty but to see the artistry of the craft would surely double your experience. And it's the "Sistine Chapel".
Why are we even talking about this. Just go see the Irishman. It's not worth getting into this debate over a dollar and fifteen cents.
I think I'm actually gonna see Dirty Grandpa 2!
