A Review of Martin Scorsese’s ‘The Irishman' (2019)
Tumblr media
Today I will share my thoughts on the 2019 movie The Irishman, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci. This movie is based on the book I Heard You Paint Houses by Charles Brandt, which tells the story of Frank Sheeran, a hitman who worked for the mob and claimed to have killed Jimmy Hoffa, the leader of the Teamsters Union.
The Irishman is a long movie, almost three and a half hours. But it doesn’t feel dull or slow. It’s a fascinating and epic journey through the history of organized crime in America from the 1950s to the 2000s. The movie shows how Frank Sheeran rose from being a truck driver to becoming a trusted associate of Russell Bufalino, the boss of the Pennsylvania crime family, and how he met and befriended Jimmy Hoffa, who was one of the uttermost dominant and controversial figures in labor politics. The movie also explores every personal and moral consequence of Frank’s behavior, as he has to deal with his family, conscience, and loyalty.
The movie is a masterpiece of filmmaking, with superb performances from the lead actors and a brilliant script by Steven Zaillian. It utilizes de-aging technology to make the actors look younger in some scenes, which is impressive and realistic. The movie also has a great soundtrack that fits the mood and era of each moment. It is not just a crime drama but a reflection on aging, regret, and mortality.
The Irishman is one of the best movies of 2019 and one of Scorsese’s finest works. It’s a must-watch for anyone who loves cinema and history. However, I have to deduct one star for the excessive length and some historical inaccuracies.

"Ami, it's time to go" Von Oskar Lafontaine - Rezension
“Ami, it’s time to go” Von Oskar Lafontaine – Rezension
Als ich kürzlich einem Freund kundtat, dass ich das neue Buch von Oskar Lafontaine mit dem Titel „Ami, it’s time to go“ rezensieren würde, entgegnete er mir: „Ja, mein Gott, das haben wir doch schon in den 1970er Jahren und früher gerufen! Es stand an mancher Wand.“ Ja, und nun sind sie noch immer da. Während die Russen uns nicht nur die deutsche Einheit möglich machten sondern gutgläubig auch…

'Not many movies can go on and on and keep viewers' interest, and not many people have the patience or the time to sit through lengthy films. Long run-times can be a deterrent, especially for those with short attention spans. Therefore, it takes exceptionally well-crafted films to keep viewers invested while the overstretched narratives unfold. However, not every movie can be concluded under an hour and 30 minutes; certain narratives are inherently complex and require more time for thorough exploration.
Thus, Oppenheimer's extended runtime is quite understandable. For films like Oppenheimer (which is still one of the hottest films of 2023), it was necessary to stretch the narrative to delve deep into J. Robert Oppenheimer’s life and the curiosity to know more about the role he played in developing the atomic bomb was enough to keep viewers glued to their seats, enhanced by other compelling elements of the film.
Although three hours is such a short time to cram up someone’s entire life, Christopher Nolan excelled in accomplishing this in Oppenheimer. However, even before Oppenheimer, epic films like The Godfather 2, Seven Samurai, Nixon, and The Irishman had achieved this feat, earning the prestigious title “Masterpiece”. These lengthy films prove that length does not matter as long as there is quality.
15. The Irishman (2019)
The Irishman presents a haunting and introspective look at the underworld of organized crime, weaving a tale of friendship and loyalty between men who live on the wrong side of the law through the eyes of Frank Sheeran, a former truck driver turned hit man. Lasting over three hours and through flashbacks, an older Frank narrates his life as a young truck driver and how he became acquainted with Russell Bufalino (Joe Pesci), rising to the ranks of a top hit man.
As a mafia film intricately woven and richly textured, drawing inspiration from Charles Brandt's non-fiction book I Heard You Paint Houses, The Irishman stands as one of the paramount collaborations between Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro. With acclaimed actors like Pesci and Al Pacino adding to its brilliance, many viewers find themselves engrossed in its 3.5 hours run-time without any complaints.
14. Seven Samurai (1954)
Akira Kurosawa’s masterpiece is one of those timeless, long movies viewers can see and revisit repeatedly without getting tired of its intriguing plot line. With its richly developed characters, along with the narrative's emotional depth and stunning action sequences, Seven Samurai is regarded as one of the most influential and celebrated films in cinema history. Set in chaotic 16th-Century Japan, the film tells the story of a group of seven Ronin (masterless samurai) who are hired by a small farming village to protect them from marauding bandits.
Throughout its 207 minutes, the film delves into the character development of these seven samurai and the villagers, chronicling their first encounter, rigorous training and bonding as they prepare for the ultimate fight for survival. While this action film is undoubtedly brilliant, what really stands out is its deeply engaging characters, each given enough room to shine as the film progresses slowly and reaches its dramatic culmination.
13. Gone With the Wind (1940)
Gone With the Wind is proof that Old is Gold. This emotionally charged movie is one of the oldest American epic romances that never feels boring or outdated. Directed by Victor Fleming and based on Margaret Mitchell's 1936 novel of the same name, it follows the tumultuous relationship between Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler.
The film is set in the pre-Civil War era in the southern state of Georgia and follows as this Southern Belle is exposed to a life of hardship during the war but remains determined to survive at all costs. The three hours run-time is no issue for viewers captivated by its well-crafted plot, irresistible romance, unforgettable lines and moments that keep them thoroughly engaged. Despite the controversies surrounding this epic film, it still matters in this recent time for movie lovers.
12. Schindler’s List (1993)
This powerful and critically acclaimed historical drama is directed by Steven Spielberg and focuses on the efforts of a German businessman in saving innocent lives during one of the darkest chapters in human history. Schindler's List is the story of Oak Schindler, who saved millions of Jews during the Holocaust. The film's narrative unfolds in a series of powerful and poignant scenes, depicting the daily struggles, fears, and acts of heroism of the Jewish workers under Schindler's protection.
With such weighty narrative, the film’s three-hour-plus runtime is quite understandable. However, depending on viewers' perspective, the lengthy duration of this film may be an advantage or disadvantage. But for those who enjoy historical films that delve deeply into their subject and meticulously explore the complexities of its historical backdrop, the runtime of Schindler’s List proves to be an added advantage.
11. Magnolia (1999)
Magnolia is considered one of the best and most touching Paul Thomas Anderson’s films. It is a complex and interwoven drama known for its non-linear storylines and multiple characters carried by its ensemble cast who delivered outstanding performances. The film follows the lives of multiple characters seemingly unconnected to each other, each struggling with their own demons and issues. But as the plot unfolds, their stories intersect and overlap over the course of one eventful day.
Since this is a heartfelt drama that deals with trauma and how individuals search for happiness, it may be such a weighty subject to watch for over three hours. Yet, for those with the patience to sit through it, it transforms into a profoundly moving and touching experience. The film's powerful emotional impact can make time fly, rendering it the fastest three-hour movie for its captivated audience.
10. The Godfather Part II (1979)
The Godfather Part II is one of the greatest films in the history of cinema, solidifying Francis Ford Coppola’s position as one of the best directors the world has seen. Garnering widespread critical acclaim and earning six Academy Awards, the film’s brilliance and quality remains unmatched. Serving as both a prequel and a sequel to the original masterpiece, The Godfather, it unfolds through dual timelines; one delves into the reign of Michael Corleone as the new Don of the Corleone crime family and the other depicting the early life of his father, Vito Corleone.
Its complex storyline is one that certainly has many glued to their screens, not knowing when the three-hour run-time runs out. The Godfather Part II is a treasure trove of memorable scenes and quotable lines delivered by Michael Corleone and these iconic moments have become ingrained in popular culture.
9. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
Serving as third and final installment of the epic fantasy film trilogy directed by Peter Jackson, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King presents the final battle between good and evil forces over the future of Middle-earth. Frodo, Sam, Aragon, Gandalf and a host of other heroes join forces to destroy the one ring and confront Sauron’s evil army. Just like The Godfather was a success upon its release, this film also garnered critical acclaim and achieved immense box-office success.
Its remarkable achievement is evident through its impressive haul of 11 Academy Awards, solidifying its position as one of the greatest cinematic achievements in the fantasy genre. The Return of the King stays true to the source material, J.R.R. Tolkien's novel, and the extended runtime makes this possible. It allows for the inclusion of key moments and plot lines from the book, satisfying both fans of the books and newcomers to the franchise.
8. The Hateful Eight (2015)
With Quentin Tarantino’s signature style, original storyline, the sharp dialogue, dark humor, complex plots and intricate character dynamic, many viewers would watch The Hateful Eight for hours without their patience wearing thin. Set in post-Civil War Wyoming, it follows a group of strangers who seek refuge in a stagecoach stopover during a blizzard. As the plot unfolds, the identities of these shady characters are revealed as well as their motives, giving rise to violence and paranoia on the train.
While this film’s original cut was fine as it was, the miniseries version available on Netflix offers an extended look at other interesting moments and offers more insight to the characters too.For those who find it difficult to watch the entire three-hour film in one sitting, the miniseries provides a convenient alternative, presenting each episode with a short 50-minute duration.
7. The Inland Empire (2006)
The Inland Empire is an enigmatic and challenging drama film written and directed by David Lynch. It defies traditional linear narrative structure and the plot is open to several interpretations as it immerses viewers in a dream-like, surreal experience. Centered around the actress Niki, the story takes a disconcerting turn when she adopts the persona of a character in a film, blurring the boundaries between reality and a nightmarish world.
The audience, too, finds themselves entangled in this weird and perplexing journey. Since the film is full of disturbing and powerful imagery, viewers may find it impenetrable even after almost one hour into the narrative. This bizarre and fantastic film is certainly not going to appeal to everyone. However, for avid fans of David Lynch, particularly those who appreciate equally surreal film Eraserhead, this may be an extremely rewarding experience.
6. Titanic (1997)
This iconic film will, of course, make the list of long movies that are worth watching. Set against the backdrop of the real-life sinking of the RMS Titanic, Titanic follows the fictional characters of Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet) as they embark on a fateful and ill-fated romance aboard the luxurious ship.
Its storyline based on a historical event, its touching and original musical score, impactful themes, powerful performances of DiCaprio’s and Winslet’s performance, and masterful direction by James Cameron all contribute to the film's reputation as a powerful and unforgettable cinematic experience. The gripping and tragic love story in this 1997 blockbuster has captured the hearts of viewers worldwide. Even today, it remains an emotionally resonant tale and one of the saddest love stories ever told.
5. Nixon (1995)
Nixon provides a compelling and refreshingly look into the life of one of America's most enigmatic and controversial presidents, including his contentious policies, paranoia, and abuses of power. Throughout the film, Nixon's complex personality and inner demons are explored, including his insecurities, thirst for power, ruthlessness and vulnerabilities.
This biographical drama directed by Oliver Stone does not fail to depict the Watergate Scandal and other crucial events of that political era. Given Nixon’s polarizing public perception, many anticipated an annoying or dull narrative about him on screen. However, Stone deftly crafts a tragic story that somehow pulls viewers into this complex character’s mind, allowing them to understand his bitterness and paranoia during the three-hour runtime. Anthony Hopkins’ exceptional portrayal as President also played a huge role in elevating the film to the status of a true masterpiece.
4. Ben-Hur (1959)
Directed by William Wyler, the timeless epic religious film, Ben-Hur, is deservedly one of the most honored films in history, winning 11 Academy Awards out of 12 nominations. It is based on the 1880 novel Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ by Lew Wallace. Set in ancient Rome during the time of Jesus Christ, this emotionally charged film follows the journey of Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince who seeks vengeance against his childhood friend who betrayed him and condemned him to slavery.
Despite its lengthy runtime, Ben-Hur is a tale that mesmerizes and entertains its viewers, scene after scene, as they follow Ben-Hur’s journey. Amidst its glory and beauty, it also presents a poignant human story of struggle which resonates deeply with the hearts of its viewers and keeps them glued to their seats, eager to witness the hero’s final victory. From its fine acting, touching storytelling, cinematography and iconic scenes, Ben-Hur is unquestionably an all-round giant epic film.
3. The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
The Wolf of Wall Street is a compelling and satirical take on the greed and darker side of the financial industry during the 1990s. It is directed by Martin Scorsese and based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, a stockbroker who engaged in rampant corruption and financial fraud during the 1990s. Throughout its three hours, it documents the rise and fall of Jordan Belfort, brilliantly played by DiCaprio. DiCaprio's outstanding performance garnered critical acclaim, adding to the film's allure.
Spanning three hours, the movie remains engaging and enthralling, making time seem inconsequential as it documents the captivating journey of Jordan Belfort. In this dark comedy, Scorsese holds up a mirror to the society, critiquing the insatiable desire for wealth and riches. The film strikes a perfect balance between memorable scenes, drama and comedic moments, making it entertaining and easy to watch, regardless of its length.
2. Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
Directed by David Lean, Lawrence of Arabia is based on the life of T.E. Lawrence, a British officer and adventurer who played a significant role during World War I in the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire. Lean’s brilliant direction and pacing manages to keep viewers on the edge of their seats as this film presents a perplexing character study to one of the most enigmatic historical figures.
While it may not be completely historically accurate, Lean’s rendition accomplishes what many other tales on this inspirational warlord fail to do. It offers an inner sight into the man behind the deeds, dispelling the violent disarray other stories have often portrayed. A long movie that is truly worth watching over and over again, and Peter O'Toole's remarkable portrayal of Lawrence is nothing short of exceptional.
1. The Right Stuff (1983)
Following key characters Chuck Yeager, Gus Grissom, John Glenn and Alan Shepard, The Right Stuff explores the challenges faced by the first men in Space for America. The story follows as these patriots undergo rigorous physical and psychological testing to determine if they have what it takes to become astronauts during a time America space program was struggling to meet up with Russian’s own.
For those who relish films based on true legends or even the beginnings of Space, this film’s three-hour-long runtime would not be a detractor to enjoying the film. Alongside Scorsese’s Raging Bull, it is recognized as one of the greatest films of the 80s and also earned four Academy Awards. Directed by Philip Kaufman and based on Tom Wolfe’s 1963 novel, Tale of the Mercury Astronauts, The Right Stuff is an exciting and complex teeming with memorable scenes and brilliant performances from its wonderful actors.'

random notes on the Irishman having watched it and read i heard you paint houses in a somewhat timely fashion-
-remarkable at capturing sheeran's voice without quoting him. would love further analysis but a lot of lines were almost quotes, yet written slightly diff for the movie. -liked that Scorsese used 'tuxedo junction' which sheeran references in the book. wonder where 'in the still of the night' came from tho! -slight shifts for the narrative, like that russel and frank were randomly again on the same road they first met. nope, that was in NY! - allegedly 'I heard you paint houses' were the first words hoffa said to sheeran, so funny the movie adds some small talk lol -loved that it centered peggy, but she didn't say "i don't even want to know a person like you"! which was so loud in the book! instead it was like she deduced it? -i was surprised to look back and see there was discussion of fish in the pre-murder car, reddit thought it was a joke about how it was 'fishy'. however caught that book sheeran actually sat in the passenger seat, not in the back which reddit said was bc sheeran thought sally might strangle him (like he had another). i had thought bc he wanted to be closer to hoffa lool. but who knows! -movie says sally buggs was killed on false info but book does not suggest that? -scorsese and brandt both suggest sheeran started drinking heavily after killing hoffa, but sheeran had said/denied that. scorsese leaned in more and had him stuttering too -i can't control f so i don't remember if hoffa mentioned ice cream in the book or if sheeran said 'youse' or when exactly the nixon $500 mill happened bc i thought it was just re-election, bc movie hoffa mentions it much earlier and that confused me - green casket was maybe a little stupid lol. -exclusion of charles brandt from story is interesting but prolly good choice!
overall very cool the way it made the timeline kinda just like the book, weaving in and out of his memory. googles gonna tell u that none of the book or movie really happened but hey it is a great story

A small collection
I do still intend to keep writing the other more detailed How to spot guides for each MBTI type individually, but in the meantime, I collected some interviews with several people of each type that you can click through and maybe it helps you see the similarities not just of the people of the same type, but also based on the high functions that they share. I also tried to not exclusively use native English speakers because I’m personally a bit fed up with the anglocentrism of this site and the internet in general (though of course I’m also constrained in my choices here that I can only use people that I know of, which are mostly European), but if I could find some, I included interviews of them speaking both English and their native language. Even if you don’t understand that language, I still recommend looking into those interviews. Not understanding what someone is saying can sometimes actually help focussing on their body language itself.

K'Rala is half Vulcan, quarter Aenar and quarter Betazoid, which results both in a very complicated biology and strong telepathic senses. They're a promising young engineering officer aboard the Enterprise with a specific adoration for anything old or ancient and little understanding for people's insistence on the gender binary. They find themselves romantically involved with Chief of Security Tasha Yar, and, after losing her, decide that facing one's emotions is better than suppressing them.
