There is an old family, such as a treasure, Hollywood movies have never lacked old movie emperors, but the most amazing thing is Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, both of them are nearly eighty years old and still stand at the top of the pyramid, on acting, on honor, on status, both of them are American movies, and even rare treasures in world movies.
Al Pacino and Robert De Niro are two great actors juxtaposed in parallel, and they are like gods in their respective film works: the performance is extremely tense, the personality is full of charisma, and one person controls the rhythm of the whole film. In the film where the two work together, they are god-like opponents, tit-for-tat and sympathetic, competing with each other and complementing each other. The two have worked together on four films: The Godfather 2, Fuse, Just Kill, and The Irishman, all epic gangster movies. Outside of gangster movies, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro are both extremely talented in comedy, but unfortunately haven't met in comedy movies. But in 2013, the two each starred in an elderly comedy film: "Brothers Come Out" and "The Last Vegas". The two films are different in genre, but they share the same path and reflect Al Pacino and Robert De Niro's pursuit of performance and precise grasp.
<h1>Comedy genius outside the gangster</h1>
Al Pacino and Robert De Niro are two of the world's greatest gangster actors, the highest praise for both of them, but also a huge misunderstanding between the two. Because they're not just great gangster actors, they're great comedians. It's just that their calmness and cruelty in gangster movies make people ignore their sullenness and exaggeration in comedy movies: Al Pacino has completely overshadowed the Hollywood comedy genius Adam Sandler in the nonsense movie "Jack and Jill", and he plays Al Pacino himself in the movie, raising his hands and feet, but it is all laughter; Robert De Niro has never given up trying to comedic movies from his debut to the present, "Midnight Rush", "The Boss Flashes", "The Boss Flashes". The number of Robert De Niro comedies such as Meet your Father-in-Law doesn't seem to be less than his gangster films. So it's not that the gangster boss can't act in comedy movies, it's just that the gangster boss is even more crazy when he acts in comedy movies. Because real performance artists never pick characters.
<h1>How do old men's comedies come about? </h1>
"Brothers Out" and "The Last Vegas" are al pacino and Robert De Niro in 2013 are two elderly comedy films starring each other: "Brothers Out of the Sky" Al Pacino is out of prison for 28 years but facing a desperate pursuit, he and a group of old friends staged the last madness of life; in "The Last Vegas" Robert De Niro and their childhood playmates who have known each other for 58 years hold a passionate bachelor party in Las Vegas. The two films, Al Pacino, chose the gangster genre he was most familiar with, while Robert De Niro chose to take the life kinship route, but both faced the same problem: how to play a comedy of the elderly? The world of the young is more for comedy, how a group of 70-something old men can pique everyone's interest, and Al Pacino and Robert De Niro have chosen the same three magic weapons:
First, recall, the old man will not expect more from the future, but will be full of nostalgia for the past, so when they really have the opportunity to enjoy the present, their indulgence will be more crazy than anyone: in "Brothers Out of the Sky", Al Pacino regains his freedom, but there is no joy of rebirth at all, he only wants to taste the passion of his youth again before death comes, and after putting aside the concerns of life and death, Al Pacino's behavior is more frank and extreme, so he takes drugs madly and prostitutes everywhere. The midnight car creates the most hilarious scene in the movie; in "The Last Vegas", Robert De Niro and three bad old men have a 70-year-old man's single party in Las Vegas, trying to find excitement, find an affair, and find their first love like young people, just to make up for their regrets when they were young. Because they have no scruples, they have fun and crazy, and they find not only the memories of the past but also the cherishing of their current life.
Second, friendship, the elderly play the love card again is not impossible, but always feel the taste of the difference. For the male protagonist in his 70s, if the female protagonist is too young and sexy, it seems a little distorted; if the female protagonist is also an old lady who is more than 100 and a half years old, the ornamentality is greatly reduced. So in the old-age comedy films of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, the two uniformly weaken the love part and focus on friendship, after all, the older the friendship, the more passionate: "Brothers Rise To the Top" is like the title of the movie, and brotherly righteousness is the most important. Al Pacino spent a day finding his best brother and reliving the glory of the past, even if this brilliance is just a return to the light, but it is the most wonderful part of life; the real theme of the "Last Vegas" movie is to repair the friendship between Robert De Niro and his old friend under the effect of comedy, and the old friends of a lifetime also have untied knots, and often the more people who care, the more they can't guess.
Third, hugging the group, the comedy movie of the elderly is difficult to support by one person alone, unlike the police movie will have a lot of plot conflicts and renderings, in the comedy movie, the light joke point is created, it is best to have a few more partners. In "Brothers Out of the Sky" and "The Last Vegas", although Al Pacino and Robert De Niro are all old movie emperors with a million enemies, they have also called on a group of elderly tour groups to participate: "Brothers Out of the Sky" is an old version of the Golden Three Musketeers, Al Pacino, Christopher Walken, Alan Akin, three old drama bone partners, relying on the old man, wearing an old-school suit armor, playing an old version of the laughing pride; "The Last Vegas" is a sunset version of the four kings, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Michael Douglas and Kevin Klein make up the old F4 to show the madness of the elderly in a hangover. People are easy to be afraid of loneliness when they are old, even comedy movies are like this, so this time the two old movie emperors have chosen to be funny.
<h1>Who is better looking at "Brothers First Days" or "The Last Vegas"? </h1>
"Brothers Out of the Sky" and "The Last Vegas" are both old age themes, but also completely different comedy movies: "Brothers Out of the Sky" is a tragedy to find comedy in the film, because the fate of the characters has long been doomed, so before the end comes they have a lot of revelry, watching this movie makes us feel a little desolate in laughter; "The Last Vegas" is a comedy looking for tragedy in the movie, because of the unsatisfactory life of several old men, let them take this party as the last trip, There will be a hint of helplessness in laughter, but fortunately they have found the true meaning of life. Two movies have a tragic ending and a reunion ending, but they are still unfinished. As for the good and bad of the two films, just like the two lead actors, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, it is inseparable. They always exist like gods in their own movies, and in the movies they work together, they want to be like gods and opponents. Different performance styles and film routes, but the same film pursuit and film dedication.
