True Confessions -Di Niro,Duvall Last Scene (H D)

One of the Greatest Movies that never made it Big, Great stars great acting...I Do Not own this property it is simply to educate Method Acting. Starring Charles Durning,Cyril Cusack,Burgess Merideth,Keneth McMillan and Ed Flanders.

[@carylbirke168]

This is one of the greatest movies of all time, and so underappreciated.

Caryl Birke Thank You Caryl I feel the same as you Great Comment Two Brothers saying Goodbye.

[@bobmcgahey1280]

agree completely a stunning work of art

[@edkeaton1085]

Caryl Birke You are so right. Both De Niro and Duvall should've received Oscar nominations for this film. Kudos to all the supporting players in this film as well including the late, great Burgess Meredith.

[@johnbirk1029]

@Shakti Prasad Mishra It's left unclear, although it's implied that Tom Spellacy did arrest him for it, which led to Jack's exposing Des's role in all the shady land deals and then to Des's banishment to the desert by the cardinal (Cyril Cusack).

[@johnbirk1029]

@@edkeaton1085 So right; everybody in the supporting cast: Charles Durning, Ed Flanders, Burgess Meredith, Kenneth McMillan, Cyril Cusack, et al, was just brilliant in this. Sad they're all long gone now, except for Rose Gregorio, who surprisingly didn't get much work after this.

Unfortunately, "True Confessions" was lost in the compost of DeNiro's powerhouse performances of the early 80's but is an overlooked and under appreciated masterpiece of fall from grace and redemption both spiritual and relational. Two astounding performances, great Noir atmosphere centered around the Black Dahlia murder, the seamy underbelly of Archdiocesan politics when Catholicism was king and Georges Delerue's soundtrack into the mix. The ending, where the Monsignor, who has fallen from the purple ladder and dizzying heights of ecclesiastical power, follows his spiritual father into the purifying desert to end his days as a poor priest serving a poor community, is one of the most powerful moments in cinema. Showing his reconciled brother the windblown cemetery where they both will rest makes it one of the most poignant. Thanks for sharing.

It was nice to know Des spent some of the latter part of his career with Seamus, who he admired and respected.

A great movie and this closing scene gets me every time. They’ve both made their peace with each other, and realize that they only have each other. Fantastic acting from 2 great actors at the top of their game

[@voight-kampff3611]

I guess the acting is so great because of the minimal acting (minimal words and subtle minimal actions from eyes and hands). At the end of their lifes, they appeared to be true gentlemen. What a monumental movie. Thank you so much for posting.

[@johndanielharold3633]

Yeah! I thought they captured the minimalism of brotherly communication - how brothers can say say so much with only grunts and gestures. They know each other.

[@lennielefler2081]

2 of my favorite actors---great movie that didn't get the credit it so richly deserved...Super mood music, especially this scene at the end...

[@philipkane9393]

Great story of corruption, and more importantly, redemption. Classic film!

[@gerarddiver4150]

One of my favourite movies which was very underated , and with that haunting beautiful irish tune , carrickfergus playing throughout the movie, brilliant.

[@RickStreetMusic]

the relationship between the brothers is what the movie is about. everything else is just context. beautiful melody by delerue

[@isabelbeckerman1262]

I love Delerue's version of Carrick Fergus, especially during the credits rolling in the end. The concept of the composer who can take an Irish secular song and turned it into a mournful yet acroamatic instrumental was one of George's unique talents. One of the cinemas' most exquisite movie scores.

[@edkeaton1085]

It was great to see these two incredibly talented Academy Award winners on screen together for the first time. They both have great chemistry and each have left a legacy of land mark films over the years. I wish that they had done more films together.

[@rogerkincaid931]

Why do people don't talk of this film often? It's got Duvall and De Niro is starring roles and Georges Delerue as the composer.

[@kenankeven5536]

really great movie and soundtrack, deserves more

[@jimkana2351]

One who had a loved bro can't avoid to get moved by this film; however I suggest to read also the original novel, in which many other things happen, many other characters are on the move, and there's a beautiful depiction of the Irish community in the L.A. of thirties.

[@paulamiles9559]

It's a great book. I just read it again.

[@chrisfeeney5814]

Criminally underrated film!

[@michaelj529]

I love the music in this scene.

[@alexcabassi]

The music is the ireland song Carrickfergus🙂

@@alexcabassi Thank you my friend

[@alexcabassi]

It's a pleasure!

[@alcd6333]

Two great actors working together for the first time (they're both in "Godfather Part II", but they don't share any screen time) and the film was only modestly successful. Too bad because it is very well made with an excellent supporting cast. It's a fictitious rendering of the "Black Dahlia" murder.

[@mikeevans5810]

if you're not grabbed by the ending, then, you have no heartbeat

[@jimkana2351]

This film is a simphony of the real life. you can find out all the shit and all the joy life offers. The final makes eyes full of tears.

The church where this was shot is in Lancaster, California. It was also used for the wedding rehersal scene in the "Kill Bill" films.

[@bobmcgahey1280]

great film

incredible.

[@johndanielharold3633]

Sin é. Sin a bhfuil. "This is it!" Irish endings are not happy endings - but they are fitting.

It's the same church as in "Kill Bill" V2

Di Niro looks like crap in this, he actually loos as if he is dying.

His character is dying at the end of the movie. That what brings him and his brother together.
