I’m Bored. One hour in, two+ to go.

get over it. it's a true fuckin story, so be mad at history.

>> I really haven’t liked anything he’s done since Taxi Driver except Goodfellas.

Maybe Transformers is for you?

I was bored by The Irishman and based on the plot of this I thought maybe Scorsese would be a bit more back on track. I have a feeling that I'd be bored again sadly. If this is Scorsese's standards slipping then he's had a good run. You don't have to go as far back as Goodfellas for a film of his I liked - The Departed, Shutter Island, Hugo were all films I liked and would happily keep rewatching

I’m an hour in and thoroughly enjoying it, as I did The Irishman.

I will agree that the ‘evil white people’ propaganda is tiresome but this isn’t made with the crudeness of most woke projects. It’s supposedly a true story and the direction, performances and editing are top level.

I’ll give Scorsese a pass because of his legendary track record, but if he starts with more anti-white stuff then we’ll have a problem. I suspect he won’t, and apparently he had wanted to make this for a long time.

I’m glad that he’s testing the rotted attention spans of today’s younglings with his 3.5 hour epics.

I heard the same about Oppenheimer before I saw it. But I was riveted by Oppenheimer and enjoyed every moment. Same as with Killers of the Flower Moon, although the latter was disturbing and depressing.

Long films don't bother me if they keep my interest and both did. But if you're bored an hour in then it may not be for you.

UPDATE:

So … went back and finished it.
Got a lot better after the FBI entered.
So I take it back. It’s worthwhile, but somehow the first hour bored me and rubbed me wrong. Nowadays I find it unbearable watching characters “dumb as a washboard” resorting to vicious crimes to somehow fix their pathetic lost lives only to find — surprise! — misery for them and their victims.

I don’t like Leonardo’s dumb, weak character, but … that boy sure has turned hisself into quite an actor. Lots of scenes depend solely on his face, hanging on his every expression, and they all work. Seems working with Marty all those years has certainly paid off.

Evil Uncle Hale’s point — and the movie’s — is that all the story’s tragedy will be forgotten and will change nothing. And up until this movie a century later, it sure seems that was the case. But I don’t even see what Hale and his merry men really got for themselves, except long jail sentences during which to write letters to their Ogage “friends” (whom they helped so much … yeah). It’s disgusting there are moral monsters, sociopaths like Hale running businesses, but honestly worse there are so many washboard-dumb clucks who are naive enough to go along with their asinine, murderous plans.
