And PB, it's not just resonant to the people who're over 60. It's even resonant to someone like me who has a sixty-something father and a mother who's approaching sixty. The scene with De Niro and Pesci in prison, the latter struggling to eat his favourite food, was heart-rending, as were the scenes with De Niro trying, and failing, to reconnect with his daughter. Despite the subject matter, it was quite a touching and beautiful movie in certain parts; not a bad way for Scorsese and De Niro to put an exclamation mark on their collaborations. Intend on watching it again soon.
Agree a hundred percent. When your parents start aging it's an eye opener. And when it's drawn out, like Pesci in the prison scene, it's all the more heartbreaking. It took me right back to my Dad. It's going on four years and I'm still not the same. You're an old soul, Moe😉🙂.
