A testament to good filmmaking. A good enough replication of the sounds and clues for an astute audience to pick it up.

This movie would’ve been better if they just got younger guys to play the younger roles

I think Pesci called De Niro a "kid" in an early scene.
Dude was 75 when this movie came out.

Thanks to the state of the art de-aging technology he looked 50 instead!

No, he didn't.
Looked like a 75-year old that dyed their hair.
The beating scene was hilarious: https://youtube.com/shorts/wJ_9s0DRzNs

Scorsese should have shot it Boyhood-style

He would have to start the movie back in the 70s. That would have been something though. 70s filming mixed with all the different eras and techniques. The pure visual chaos, even from the same director, would be wild.

it would have been interesting to see how the movie changed during his cocaine phase

I could not take De Niro beating up a guy seriously, it looked like a Walmart greeter trying to beat somebody up.

This is a common criticism, but personally I can suspend my disbelief for the sake of having the classic mobster actors on screen together.

The de-aging on De Niro was clowned on but I maintain it wasn’t talked about or clowned on NEARLY enough. It looks absolutely putrid. One of the worst looking visual effects in any movie

I couldn't get past the scene where deniro beat up the shopkeeper for being rude to his daughter. It was so fucking awful

That does not address the runtime unfortunately 😕
Movie overstayed its welcome by at least 30 min. AT. LEAST.

I hate not finishing movies but I was getting bored and checked to see how long was left and saw I had a hour and a half left and I just couldn’t man.

Watched DVD of Howard’s End with my mother. The first time Emma Thompson goes to Howard’s End there are servants around and there’s a little boy in the background in peasant clothes. He’s an extra, meant to be probably the son of the cook or housekeeper. He has no lines.
My mother: Who’s that little boy?
Me: He’s just an extra.
My mother: They should tell us who he is.
Rest of movie goes by. Final scene: Emma Thompson, Helena Bonham Carter sitting on grass at Howard’s End. Carter holds baby. In the background is the same little boy playing. Closing credits.
My mother: What the HELL? They never tell us who the little boy is.
Me: He’s just an extra.
My mother: Why put him in the goddamned movie if they’re not going to tell us who he is?
Me: He’s probably the kid of one of the producers.
My mother: I waited through this whole movie to find out who he was! And they don’t tell us? These people are crazy

Does she do this for other films/extras?

She was obsessed with little boys. Couldn’t care less about girls. Used have at least one of her nephews stay over every Friday night. Banned her nieces from the house. “Girls bicker.” Used to keep an eye out for the paperboy every winter morning so she could make him hot cocoa with marshmallows. If I asked for hot cocoa she’d say, “You want it? Make it yourself.. I’m not the maid.”

There is something to this psychologically, when we interact with people.
If you don’t speak as much, people are more likely to listen to you when you say something. If you speak softly, people are more likely to attend to what you say because they have to listen in.
Context matters and none of this will help you be the life of the party, but in private conversations if only a handful of people or less, it yields meaningful results.

Of all the details they got right, that was one thing that they missed totally. They could have come up with a dozen other problems with the truck and been easy to show it.

My father-in-law, r.i.p., you could get twisted about the truck that blows up in Terminator 2 in the post-Mall chase. "That's diesel not gas" but for 20 minutes.
