上一次Robert De Niro和Al Pacino一起出演还是盗火线吧。。没想到年纪这么大了又合作一部，而且还数字处理成年轻版的，不过跟教父中年轻时的De Niro是两回事。长达3个半小时，基本上是一部卡车司机黑帮史了，一群意大利人中一个爱尔兰打手，还坚持到了生命的最后时刻。事业的高峰和低谷都特别突然，而且没有什么特别大的缘由，就是时机到了。倒是没有美化黑帮里的任何为利益的杀戮，但是却扯上了肯尼迪和尼克松，也是够可以的。

50年代，卡车司机Frank Sheeran的车坏了，意外遇到了Russell Bufalino帮他修车。之后，Frank倒卖自己运的牛肉，加入了黑帮，被引见大佬，又一次见到了Russell。从此，Frank成了自己刷墙的人。黑话，意思是杀人时血溅在墙上如同粉刷了，原作的标题也是我听说你刷墙。渐渐有了钱，Frank也接一些任务，但有一次错接了任务是针对Russell投资的清洁公司的，好在还没下手。Russell自己没有孩子，但对Frank的美满家庭还是非常看好的，Frank也很爱女儿们。除了杀人，Frank还被介绍给卡车司机工会的主席Jimmy Hoffa，这时代，工会与黑帮是互相勾结的，工会罢工被企业家打压时，需要黑帮帮助，工会的养老金还能投资黑帮的赌场等。

除了经济，黑帮还介入政治，比如Frank无意间参与了运输武器给登陆古巴猪湾的军队，虽然没有直接参与，但是新闻一直在播相关事件。另外，意大利黑帮还与肯尼迪家族联系紧密，帮助肯尼迪儿子当上总统，另一个儿子Robert成了司法部长，但开始打压工会和黑帮。Hoffa也在1957年被起诉，不过无罪释放了。为了让Robert停止行动，黑帮策划了刺杀总统。不过新闻一出来，Frank还是非常震惊的。到了1967年，Hoffa终于坐牢了，Frank没事，还在继续帮Russell做事，两家人也时常往来。四年后，Hoffa被尼克松总统大赦出狱，誓要夺回主席一职。但是时代已经不同了，Russell让Frank去杀了Hoffa，虽然不愿意，但Frank依然要为了大家的利益去做。

1975年7月30日，Frank悄悄来到Hoffa住处，接走了他之后，在另一处房屋中杀了他，尸体随后被处理，Hoffa被认为失踪。之后，Russell和Frank等人都坐了牢，不少人都在牢里死了。Frank出了狱之后，身边旧识几乎已经没了，他只想跟女儿多交流，但女儿一直回避他。在养老院，Frank依然对调查人员三缄其口，不愿说出Hoffa案的真相，但卧室的门却要半开着，像当年的Hoffa一样。

The Irishman 爱尔兰人

The Irishman (also titled onscreen as I Heard You Paint Houses) is a 2019 American epic crime film directed and produced by Martin Scorsese and written by Steven Zaillian, based on the 2004 book I Heard You Paint Houses by Charles Brandt. It stars Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci, with Ray Romano, Bobby Cannavale, Anna Paquin, Stephen Graham, Stephanie Kurtzuba, Jesse Plemons, and Harvey Keitel in supporting roles. The film follows Frank Sheeran (De Niro), a truck driver who becomes a hitman involved with mobster Russell Bufalino (Pesci) and his crime family, including his time working for the powerful Teamster Jimmy Hoffa (Pacino).

In September 2014, after years of development hell, The Irishman was announced as Scorsese's next film after Silence (2016). De Niro, who also served as producer, and Pacino were confirmed that month, as was Pesci, who came out of his unofficial retirement to star after being asked numerous times to take the role. Principal photography began in September 2017 in New York City and in the Mineola and Williston Park sections of Long Island, and wrapped in March 2018. With a production budget of $159 million and a runtime of 209 minutes, it is among the most expensive films of Scorsese's career, as well as his longest.

The Irishman premiered at the 57th New York Film Festival, and had a limited theatrical release on November 1, 2019, followed by digital streaming on Netflix starting on November 27, 2019. The film received widespread critical acclaim, with particular praise for Scorsese's direction and the performances of De Niro, Pacino, and Pesci. The film received numerous accolades and nominations; at the 77th Golden Globe Awards, it was nominated for five awards, including Best Motion Picture – Drama.
