The marvel of DeNiro in his golden years now
is that he really is.
I've really gone of the Gino Gangster flicks
that have made DeNiro the acting hero
that most boys revere and have enjoyed just about
everything else i have ever seen from him.
What Just Happened was something special
with DeNiro taking a good shot at the
world of movie making and his roles in recent years has really
seemed to me like an actor trying to put aside for his more
notorious type casts into something purely wonderful.
As such is Everybodys Fine, which i have just found out
is a remake of 90's Italian film - Sanno Tutti Benne.
To my further delight, its orirignally written & directed by
Giuseppe Tornatore; the writer & director of Cinema Paradiso.
So first thing this week is acquire this version!!
This film made me tear. It really touched me.
Its not often a film about families provides an accurate
portrayal of how our parents might see us.
And somehow, least we hope not.
But as well how we tend to react to them.
I know i try very hard to be honest with mine and after watching
this film, feel a bit better about my relationship with my mother.
So do watch with a light heart.
Great effort from the entire cast and director - Kirk Jones.
Some scenic shots here are wonderful. Nothing flashy.
Everything kept simple & perfect. The pace was beautiful
and the music sweet.
As for DeNiro, if this is what we can expect of his years to come,
then hes only going to get better.
