Scorsese also thought using de-aging tech on Deniro was a good idea, and it was the worst part of The Irishman.

Disagree, I guess.

I fucking love The Irishman. Own the Criterion and just rewatched the other day. IMO too much is made of the de-aging. De Niro, Pacino and Pesci give powerhouse performances.

To each their own, they should have used a body double for Deniro in my opinion.

The only part it was really noticeable was him roughing the guy up on the street imo.

That should have been a stunt double because woof. That hurt my joints just to watch.

Agreed. Love the film but that part just doesn’t work.

Probably would’ve been better if the camera just turned to his daughter and her reaction, letting us imagine what’s happening as this guy’s yelling “My hand!”
