A few reviews

[Moe_Syzlak]

Moe_Syzlak I understand. I would probably put into the perspective that in this case - as the actors are STILL ALIVE - it was a way for Scorsese and company to experiment with the new power of CGI... with that said, though, I don't think that that is going to bring much to cinema's future, especially if they start reviving people who have passed away. Imagine if Rami Malek's face was overlayered with CGI in Bohemian Rhapsody: I don't think he would have had the same attraction, as his acting would have been under appreciated compared to the wondrous CGI that brought Freddy Mercury back! And the world would have had one less actor to rely on for the future. Imagine that happening in the future: how many actors would find their breakthrough?

Naturally, I am hyperbolizing a bit there - but I hope you understand my point. 

Back to Marvel movies, before concluding and moving on: I agree, Moe_Syzlak. I agree.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but Brando was alive when GF2 was filmed. If CGI make-up was available perhaps Deniro doesn’t play the role. If it had existed as it exists now, though, I’m pretty sure it would’ve been less successful, artistically, than the result we have. I’m not against CGI de-aging anymore than I’m against any other form of makeup; I just don’t think it’s there yet. And it has to be used the right way. Making someone young isn’t simply de-wrinkling their face (believe me, I know; I definitely don’t move like I did 20 years ago). If the young Deniro face was put into a younger stand in actor as with Tarkin, perhaps it would’ve worked better for me (not that Tarkin worked for me either).
