Three cinematic superstars team up for the first time I would base young people little mode you disappeared something that's about it. That's the Irishman. The big-name big-budget Netflix movie coming out next month. The film centers around the life and sentence of Frank's chairman mobster who claims to have killed a number of people including Jimmy Hoffa, Teamsters leader, who famously disappeared in 1975. It's an epic story in every way including its casting director Robert De Niro play Sharon Al Pacino is Jimmy Hoffa and Martin Scorsese is the director. The three have never worked together until now is our Lee Cowan sat down with the Nero, Pacino and Scorsese to talk movies, friendships, and more congratulations because of its it's amazing, especially after 12 years of trying to article while we wait was very hard to different reasons to people schedules. My schedule all the sort of thing became a problem with in terms of on the one hand, the problem with playing younger because the film into cuts over 50 years and on the other hand, I must say not much interest in us making this movie in Hollywood.

About time now. There will be no interest at all.

Because of this scale is like that at the end of the day you believe in fraction. I do think you didn't do one thing you can whatever he would think it's pretty understandable and it's not like Jake, we read the raging bull responded through the way we feel about things. How we interpret Jake was great about everything you know the script natural persons but you can't make a film about a natural person we take from that person. In his in his or her in their lives and things I've experienced, and we create something from that meeting as a character for the actors you know create something from that inspired there from you sent the movie about organized crime and yet that's not really what it's about is really just a contact is the midyear. It's the board of which it out is game set not only game in the light sense, but the nature who they are the world. About love about betrayal.

Ultimately, and it's about forgiveness or the lack thereof, and it's about what a human being is what what is that part of our soul, so to speak. That is evil and that is good you think the three of you could've made the same movie 30 years ago for you or is the sort of life experience that you all have really contribute to how the very reflective looking back over a long life looking through the lens will think so just off the top of I think that part of my reaction when I saw that I saw this is theirs running throughout.

It is this kind of river wisdom so escapes the film which I think 30 or 40 years ago. I think that insight would would be ready. What was it like fans been waiting for the three of you to do something forever takes a walk and finally because you start things sometimes go off Marty and I had stopped a few things in the past.

It almost got there.

Things happen simply with Bob and we've missed a few. We did heat that's to work with you but he is there something you just killed the Godfather to which Bob asked for so only one we never work together is your younger father plays like about what was it like working with him. Did you know to expect. I came up with something earlier you know how to proceed works of the city and I thought it's 10 amount would be you you you. Without that you don't care.

It's like going on a one I think that would say it because she can do anything she know that he will take care of it. Whatever you do, go this direction. That direction is safe. And that's and that's I can't I see it consciously. At the time said it would embarrass myself in him too, but I didn't know and I thought that if I did just do that I could do anything about. Yeah, sometimes I did not say hello.

No one time a week speech in front of the so funny because I had a touch of asthma that date back like a couple hundred x-rays right yelling and it was you making a speech about if you have pencils. If you have cherry have anything oil fear industries every a truck brought it to you the minute our truckstop America stops in business and government trying to tear the union apart. Interesting that alone.

Thank you, thank you, but many event I was way in the back and I just suggest don't do if you take someone in the audit. By that point really ramped up and everything second time even louder than I wanted to stop yelling cut people land on going have this unspoken language did you feel about it all work.

Such such as these is a sentence never met you tell this guy something, anything.

He just goes with anything you like trying to because of if you work with somebody you don't want to get in the way edit or stop their creative thing, whatever it is, so you like in life you got a gold what's what's with you. I remember once when I was doing a movie with Brando.

The one that did this because the score and the director asked me Frank is the thinking of Molly for that. I said I said yeah and you know what will be, but you know okay and he came in a mall and you know if you read the script. He wants it all and everybody you know you just go.

It's okay. You make sense of it will make sense of it all come together so he was just so you just don't you just got all except whoever is there whatever's there situation unless it's just totally and then Marty would say will adjust the student to because I did coming on when the mice at a moving train, and I said yes I said you know I'm always used workers and in the early city lament films I you going to do one thing as a director. How are they different. It's you know I'm not trained like director.

I haven't taken acting courses or or you know I don't know about technique but it's it's it's really the school of Kazan and Cassidy's. It's what I experience from not so. So in a way I feel that I want to limit your accomplishments. We want but they also part of that time 1950 with the big change from Lee Jake and death of a salesman and Brando went in streetcar, so that was speaking to a postwar new generation, and that changed acting in a way we come from that Bob and I we know each other actually many many years and he knows how I grew up. He knows where I grew up what it was like a part of it to certain extent and I just wish, first work in them that if he said he wanted to try something and I said all right and I like to.

So the next time he said he wanted to try something that goes. I'll show you show me you don't tell me show me I shot you talking then about really fast schedules and energy you know and invariably bought the same way. So now, stepping into that guy was like halfway through 1/3 of the way through. What we didn't rehearse it that I don't mean to denigrate rehearsal in a way that rehearsals very very important. What's it like for you to with the aging want to go no aspects of like to look at yourself and scream yourselves 20 years younger will I used to joke. I used to my career I do it, you feel like collectively the best things I feel okay with it, meaning if you is in over it still with me and will always be with me lot of the work done over the years. It's part of who you are, it's that's life. It's not just work. It goes beyond being movie so it is definitely something that is helping. I think me personally at this stage of my life. Yeah, I mean, I feel I so long we are mean I always knew that it would be a special thing no matter what. And as far as the reaction to create something, do something together. All of us that would be special experience was worth the endeavor of the time sacrifice whatever you will whatever it took. It was going to be special no matter what. You can take that away from us would like to see it and I said this, I should say I know this going on Netflix are very happy with the great, but I would hold you people see well, even if some Netflix. Everybody does. Netflix do their was thinking, talking about the other day if it would be an interesting thing is some of the cities that they had a movie free film house I play three weeks well know that you want on genuine leaders. Roma still playing around the world while game out there. We don't know where this is going to go. The fact is that this film was made by Netflix.

They stepped up no interference. None allowed us to experiment with the CGI all that's her thing and if they had no never got made because they're not making they want to make pictures. I want to make their it's over it's finished. It would be wonderful to experience a big screen and to experience attraction for both.

Actually yeah yeah yeah the thing about it is at home.

You know it's two things. One is to it on a big screen at home. It's great to concentrate on not to call tech to get up if you can. Some people can afford to have a private screening room yet movie okay and to steel yourself and understand that the picture has a pace and a time that you have to invest in the pitch is about an accumulation of detail and accumulation of feelings and needs that AC needs that investment of time, which is highly irregular in our society today. Nobody wants, but time attending to Talk real fast investment. Thank you Think I'm some bite soundbites on bike. Take your time and think about who we are as human beings think about our lives, our friends, alarms and mortality. Also this makes it a little easier for that to happen in a theater because it's it's putting a little and I think it's that's a conversation I have one day about that very thing and its effect because the mere fact that somewhere within you know you can stop anytime you wish to work the phone rings and I have a little for the screening my house and I get that there's where the theater is going.

The theaters are going now for the big but the call tentpole films is different only in different it's a different, almost artform industry making the films we came out of just on now look at when that the avengers open, which is about the way most people making those pictures. Great work here for work but the movies have become you good with theater to see them you're going to an amusement park and it's really a themepark ride movie. That's what you got and when I saw that the vendors photo and at times I think it showed a theater's multiplex showing 12 screens showing a thing from one screen.

11 screens of the software. So what you're doing is basically cutting off cinema you're stopping you from being made of his independence in my yellow give you that only has to be shown in the theater because we can sit at home, no, but you can see more more home.

If you can't get to a theater that's not shown your figure we hear that showing it. That's like a little box in the stair that chairs are broken and it's dirty and people yelling to go to next door see the avengers there anything about this film says something about our current times, you know no one is above the law. No one is above the law and on the chart about the law of the land law mean oldies, you know, the illuminati nonsensitive conspiracy theories talk about basic things with a work they were getting a lot of money.

The darker forces of our culture and society were doing very well and he comes back rightly so. Once his union and so in a way he oversteps his line because he got the wrong people and he had to because the nature of labor at the time and the nature of government and and big business coming in and destroying it, and made them behave.

Understandably, almost like they did. They got about. It's all about power. You thought about money is about second and they were not somebody is knocking to relinquish that power. If other people are going to go shepherded above the law. In a sense, yet there is a ceiling there is there is a ceiling it's about getting older and what what's happening with us. We something you don't know about getting older you get to get there is alignment think will oversee the three together great. I'm just happy we got this this week Stephen Landau live Mitch McConnell in one of Washington's biggest midterm monument list for me to Senate races you think Republicans have the best chance of taking a democratic seed with Nevada not Georgia. George is right up there, but New Hampshire's surprised New Hampshire people really just kind of don't like you have for more from this week's conversation, follow the take out with Maj.
