The Irishman

The picture offers enough understated entertainment. Not that I watched too closely, but on the obvious side are these:
- fish
- big ears
- Raging Bull clothes hanger and other small references (accidental or not)
- clock from The Shining -> cyan marriage
The picture obviously features some interesting characters. Looking deeper into character flaws would be a different genre of content consumption. So, I’m reluctant to dive into that right now.
Overall, it shows alpha and beta dynamics in criminal systems.
I think the viewer is more likely to identify with beta. So those who intuitively dislike the movie are not entirely wrong.
Of course, there is the tragedy aspect, but I don’t know how common the plot is to evaluate.
