Grape Juice scene from The Irishman

personally my favourite scene from the movie

[@ErrolBarnes]

This film made me absolutely terrified of getting old

[@SpartakTj]

ErrolBarnes that’s why it’s good to die young (forever young)

[@excitedcat9517]

ErrolBarnes I don't think the fear comes from getting old rather the choices you make that follow you to the grave. Frank lived a life where if you're told to kill your best friend you do it. Because of that His family would end up hating him for it. Sure they were sheltered as frank said but it's because they were scared shitless of him and what he would do. Like that baker. That's some traumatic stuff for a kid to see. That guy shoved her but did he really deserve a broken arm for that? Maybe a punch in the face but not a broken arm. Plus his daughter knew his father was a killer but frank just continued eating his cereal like it was nothing knowing it bothered his daughter. Her last straw was with jimmy, how could a man kill his best friend? A man who could've gotten killed in that party dedicated for frank because everyone hated his guts and he did it for frank, You could say "frank felt remorseful!" Only when he was at his deathbed. Before we get to the epilogue he still kept working as an assassin for the mob. He just ended up caught for other crimes from that man named weasel. I felt bad for him I won't deny that...but he made his choice. His choices led to this moment. He died alone with no family or jimmy by his side. That's it. *It is what it is.*

"GoodFellas" is the excess of a mobster-lifestyle, "Casino" is the daily business routine and "Irishman" is the bitter aftermath.

Mike LaBo Music I loved his performance in the film. Especially the scene with Keitel when they meet with De Niro and he basically realizes that he would have been murdered had it not been for Russ. Pesci barely utters a word and the performance he gave just with his eyes and his body language was absolutely masterful. Stephen Graham also deserves an Oscar nod. He stole the two scenes he was in, and he was acting alongside Al freaking Pacino. Respect.

He died 100 yards from where we buried him. His death was sudden. Never sick a day in his life. My mother's father lived to 89. Survived a heart attack at 79 through the perils of modern medicine and his last 10 years of life were excruciatingly painful. Spent his last month in a hospital just waiting to die. It sucked.

Really hit hard when he said "mangia che cresci fig'mio" (eat so you can grow my son). It really drives home the notion that Russell was his father in this life of violence. They shared a tender moment memorializing Hoffa as a good man, but immediately turn sour on him when the thought arises that he came between father and son. Go back and watch the scene where Hoffa dances with Peggy. You could see in his eyes that was the moment when Russell made the final decision on Hoffa's life.

I used to work in the kitchen at an old folks home and this scene really struck close to home for me. Pesci reminds me strongly of many of the people I served food to. He nails it as a decrepit old man dying of Parkinson's. It's easily on the same level as when Junior Soprano is withering away in the state mental ward. It's complimented by everything in this scene being so gloomy and melancholic. The dull grey color palette captures that aura of impending mortality.

When a man becomes ripe and old they become sorry and regretful for what they’ve done in their lives. especially in prison where you have nothing to do but think.

Man, this post hit me hard. My Mom was an addict and alcoholic most of my teen and young adult life. I would feel sorry for her and always told her I loved her. Then my son was born and my feeling sorry for her turned into anger and tough love. I would tell her, “why are you doing this, you have a second chance, you can move back and be a grandmother, this is it, this addiction is going to kill you.” Then she had too much to drink, made a routine stop at the store to grab items for dinner, crashed her car and passed…her addiction was stronger than she was. The only thing I could do is forgive her. It makes you sad thinking, man, what could I have done more?

Yeah, my grandma wasnt a very good person and she started to be somewhat remorseful only near the very, very end in a hospital. To me, it seemed like too little, too late.

Why would they take out a highly respected, made guy, and someone who has devoted their life to them instead of Jimmy Hoffa? It doesn’t make sense to me.

The weirdest thing is, that's all that NEEDS to be said; they understand enough about each other and the lives they led that a few unprompted sentences convey as much long-term regret, sorrow, melancholy, helplessness, desire for understanding and absolution etc. as a massive Shakespearean soliloquy could.

As Frank looks down when Russ is talking about Jimmy, he’s thinking about all his good memories with Jimmy. How close they were. How Jimmy was his best friend. He’s also thinking about how he killed him. How it didn’t feel right. He’ll always feel regret for doing that. But Frank had to follow Russ’s orders. If he didn’t, he would’ve been killed himself. So really he was forced to do it. And I think deep down inside, Frank will never forgive Russ for making him do that. They both try to justify killing Jimmy by telling themselves Jimmy could’ve stepped down from leading the union and saved himself. But they both know Jimmy was a good guy who stood for what he believed in and fought for regular good working citizens. Sad scene. They both die with regret for sure. But they are too proud to admit it. All you have in the end is memories. Memories of the relationships you had with people. You can’t go to your grave with any of your money, only your own conscious. And you can tell in this scene, they question themselves for the choices they made. But try and justify it to lessen the pain of that regret.
