7.9
Quite disturbing. Typical Scorsese, I must say. And fuckin' brilliant cinema at the same time. Typical Scorsese, again.
I have never ever hated a character on-screen as much as I hated, HATED...that bitch Ginger (played remarkably well by Sharon Stone) in the movie. Hard to believe that such people do/did exist (The movie is based on a true story).
But trust Mr. Martin Scorsese to etch out characters more real than the real real one actually was. I don't know what I mean by that but that's exactly how I'd put it. Nicky (Joe Pesci), Ginger and Ace (De Niro - the god himself) - what fuckin' characters, what fuckin' performances, what fuckin' cool shit of a movie. 'Goodfellas' hangover. No doubt. Even Pesci's Nicky looked more like an extension of his Tommy DeVito. But who cares. Just revel in the brilliance of his performance in both the movs.
Draggy first half though. But the 2nd half rewards you well for sitting through the charac development. And when G and N meet their well-deserved end, no matter how distrubing the scene's to watch, you can't feel even an iota of pity for 'em. Fuck they asked for it!
And well, I don't believe in god. I believe in Mr. Scorsese.
PS: Noticing an overdose of 'fu*k' here. Just a hangover from the movie. It happened after 'GoodFellas'. It happened after 'Pulp Fiction'. It happened tonite, too. May be the weekend will cool me off. Who the fuck cares anyways!
