Some old men in the film circle, the older they are, the more popular they are.
"The Irishman", which just started on Netflix on November 27, the director and starring actors are wrist-level figures, who are already septuagenarians, and this combination "touched" many people.
Martin Scorsese's shots of Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Joe Percy are as spicy and cool as they were then.
They tell the world with strength: No one can stop getting old, but when we are old, we are still so cattle.
Robert De Niro is a model in the industry, and before being awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Screen Actors Guild, he gathered several big men to start work.
The group is also in the senior group, with Robert De Niro, 76, Tommy Lee Jones, 73, and another winner of last year's Lifetime Achievement Award, 82-year-old Morgan Freeman.
The three of them, 231 years old, co-starred in a new film directed by George Gallo, The Road back, which is scheduled to be released next year.
It must be said that this is the comedy I am most looking forward to next year.
Other elderly people may have rested and enjoyed their blessings long ago, but as superstars, as long as they want to act, they always have drama to shoot. It's hard to describe what kind of cast this is, after all, these three are all important people in the film industry, and almost all of them have seen the films they have starred in.
De Niro's The Godfather 2, Taxi Driver, Angry Bull, Once Upon a Time in America, AndRhief in the Line.
Jones's "Outlaws", "Men in Black", "Old Nobody", "Lincoln".
Freeman's "Driving for Miss Daisy", "The Shawshank Redemption", and "Seven Deadly Sins", of which "The Shawshank Redemption" has always been the number one film in imDB.
You can watch the big guys "fight" again, and you feel excited to think about it.
If "The Irishman" is a gangster epic with a sad tone, "The Way Back" is a witty comedy.
The story tells the story of two desperate people who, in order to pay off their debts and get some extra money, design a very "bad" Western, hoping that the retired old cowboy star (Tommy Lee Jones) who participated in the show would have an accident and get his insurance money. However, the story is not so simple, and the old cowboy is much more flexible than they thought...
The film is based on the 1982 American film of the same name, "The Comeback Trail", but it is not very well-known and the word of mouth is also average. After more than thirty years, the remake can also attract three immortal male actors to play, presumably the script must have some unique features that keep pace with the times.
The three old drama bones each have many well-known masterpieces, but the real performance of rival plays is still a matter of recent years.
First freeman and De Niro in 2013 in "The Last Vegas", Freeman played a father who was dependent on his son, but the son who was too strict made him feel breathless; De Niro played a widowed husband, whose life became empty and boring after losing his love.
They, along with two other old friends who had reached their twilight years, decided to go to Las Vegas for a bachelor party before one of them' wedding. The movie is mainly about all kinds of interesting things that happened in the Las Vegas F4 day group.
As the audience commented, although the story is relatively simple, the performances of several old men are handsome and cute. Freeman inside is particularly brilliant, and the scene of jumping out of the window can be laughed out of the picture.
This was followed by the 2014 teaming up Between De Niro and Jones to support Luc Besson's crime comedy Don't Mess with Me.
In it, De Niro plays Fred, the man of the Black family, who seems to be no different from ordinary Americans, but fred is actually a member of the mafia. It is worth mentioning that the hostess of this house is Michelle Pfeiffer (Catwoman, a generation of wasp women), and their family is particularly cool.
In order to escape the pursuit, Fred and his family had to move several times under the arrangements of FBI agent Robert Stanfield (Tommy Lee Jones).
"Don't Mess With Me" focuses on the Fred family, and the FBI agent only appears at a critical moment, so De Niro and Jones don't have much opponent scenes, but even if it is a short time in the same frame, you can feel the spark between the two acting schools.
When it should have been low-key, Fred, accompanied by Stanfield, attended a film screening.
Watch the "Good Guys" directed by Martin and starring De Niro himself.
(Notice de Niro and Jones' respective expressions...) ）
Stanfield had been trying to get out of the field for safety reasons, and was persuaded several times by Fred to stop. Fred says it was the first man's night they'd come as friends, and Stanfield wonders how he hates how he can think of himself as a friend.
As a result Fred replied: Look at my best friends, I killed them all.
Sure enough, it is the way the big guys get along, and the relationship is "deeply moving"...
Although the story of this movie is average, after all, it is directed by Luc Besson, and it is rotten and high-grade, and it is still a very worthwhile action comedy.
Compared with these two 7-point comedies, the "Sunset Agent" that Freeman and Jones co-starred in in 2017 is completely on the table.
Freeman plays Duke, a restaurant manager with a mysterious past, and Jones plays a cool cowboy Leo.
A group of 60- and 70-year-old grandfathers and grandmothers enjoy a carefree retirement life in the Palm Springs Hotel, and they compete with each other for nothing to do, which is both romantic and beautiful.
Duke and Leo also launched a series of open and secret struggles in order to compete for the hearts of their common sweethearts, but when a group of former enemies came to the door, they decided to turn enemies into friends and jointly protect this "paradise of old age".
However, the whole film is lackluster. The laughter point is not funny, and the action scenes such as gunfights are not painful or itchy, like a hypnotic movie for the elderly, the audience and the movie are separated by nine curves and eighteen bends, and they can't get the point at all.
"Agent of the Sunset" asked Freeman and Jones not only not to send charcoal, but even almost smashed the sign of the two drama bones. Watching their awkward play, the audience was very distressed.
Although Freeman, De Niro, and Jones have all worked together, it is the first time that the three have been framed in a movie.
Like their previous cross-collaboration films, The Road Back is a comedy. What kind of chemical reaction will be spawned by several cold-faced laughers, and what kind of explosive jokes will be triggered?
More crucially, is it more interesting than watching three serious Oscar winners bother to make audiences laugh on the big screen?
Filming of "The Road Back" began in New Mexico in June this year, and if all goes well, it will meet the audience next year. At present, only one still has been released, but it is already quite expected.
Some actors, without saying a word, as long as he appears, conveys a unique attraction. In the wrinkles, there are stories from the years.
After "Ireland", the first cooperation between these three must be expected.
The first time to recommend the interpretation of good movies, good dramas, good actors, life is like a movie, welcome to click to pay attention to the "number one cinema"
