THE IRISHMAN FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
The Irishman is a critically acclaimed film directed by legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese and produced by Netflix. Released in 2019, this epic crime saga has received significant attention from both audiences and critics alike, making it a prominent contender during awards season, hence the "For Your Consideration" (FYC) campaign. Set against the backdrop of post-war America, the film delves into organized crime, the intricacies of mob life, and the impact of choices made throughout a lifetime.
The narrative is inspired by the book “I Heard You Paint Houses” by Charles Brandt, which tells the story of Frank Sheeran, a World War II veteran and truck driver who becomes a hitman for the Bufalino crime family. This compelling tale is characterized by its rich character development and intricate plotting, showcasing the personal and professional struggles faced by those involved in the criminal underworld.
Key Themes and Features:
Time and Regret: The film navigates the passage of time, highlighting how choices shape lives and often lead to profound regret. Frank’s reflections on his past underscore the theme of time as both a healer and a source of sorrow.
Friendship and Loyalty: The relationships depicted in the film, particularly between Frank, Jimmy Hoffa, and Russell Bufalino, showcase the complexities of loyalty in the world of organized crime. Their bonds are tested by ambition and betrayal.
Historical Context: The Irishman is steeped in history, weaving real-life figures into its narrative, including notable characters like Jimmy Hoffa, played by Al Pacino, and Russell Bufalino, portrayed by Joe Pesci. The film offers viewers a glimpse into pivotal moments in American history, including labor unions, political connections, and the implications of mob influence.
Production and Cinematography:
Scorsese’s decision to utilize cutting-edge de-aging technology to portray characters across different ages has been a groundbreaking aspect of the film's production. The visual storytelling is complemented by the cinematography of Rodrigo Prieto, who captures the gritty realism of the era while also providing lush, atmospheric visuals that enhance the film's emotional depth.
Critical Acclaim:
The film has been celebrated for its direction, screenplay, and outstanding performances, particularly by the lead trio of Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci. Critics have praised De Niro's portrayal of Frank Sheeran, noting his ability to convey the character’s internal struggle and moral ambiguity. Pacino’s performance as Hoffa, meanwhile, has been described as electric and commanding.
The Irishman garnered numerous accolades, including ten Academy Award nominations, further cementing Scorsese’s legacy as one of cinema’s greats. It has also sparked discussions about the depiction of history in film and the line between fact and fiction in storytelling.
Conclusion:
As part of the “For Your Consideration” campaign, Netflix aims to highlight the film’s artistic achievements and its significance in contemporary cinema. The Irishman serves as a powerful exploration of morality, consequence, and the often-unseen narratives that shape the lives of individuals within the complex tapestry of American history.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
