Making of Martin Scorsese's "Casino"-The Story (1/6)

[mroboiz]

wait one minute this troll say robert feniro is best actor? but how can you say when there is pacino too

[nazmdeh]

I wish I could erase this film from my head, so I can watch it for the first time again. Simply amazing

[matthewjamal]

1:58 haha martin is such a fucking boss...

[TheGambler666]

great film, superior to Goodfellas but that's a matter of taste, most wd disagree -the brutal realism of the savage baseball bat 'whacking' of Nicky n his bro gives me The Fear .. also that scene where the bagman is chased round his house, shuffles wounded onto his lawn as the hitman ambles up behind "come here jerk off" n shoots him in the back of the head, brutal how this loyal guy's so callously executed, then there's the Andy Stone hit b/c "why take a risk?" .. big risk working for mobsters

[benbenben796]

@TheGambler666 Yeah I hear what your saying,and they call themselves men of honor,wheres the honor in killing your people who arnt breaking rules,cause its based on a true story.

[TheGambler666]

@benbenben796 it's an object lesson that if yr gonna work for gangsters then unless you're connected yourself you're expendable b/c when the SHTT it's a scramble to stay alive, they ruthlessly dispose of good loyal ppl who are no longer of use b/c they MIGHT be a liability! So you're dead right no honour in that. "why take a risk?" that mob boss said -what a wanker, Andy Stone was a sound guy, loyal, kept everything together for them and yet they took him out the way they wd a rat!

[TakeovaRecords]

They need to make at least 1 more Gangster film so it could be a trilogy.These are seriously some of the best movies ever produced period.

[TonyGonzo1988]

My third favorite Gangster film after The Godfather and Once Upon A Time In America!!!!!

[Robin4ever1970]

If Sharon Stone wasn't in this movie, Casino would have been better as GoodFellas

[BuddyWillis]

@Robin4ever1970 yeah i gotta agree, the last half of the movie is basically just ginger freaking out

[Pulpedtoafiction31]

@charms its a tough call to make because both fils are so good.I guess its a matter of opinion but I def liked Casino over Goodfellas.How well it was produced aswell even though the two are similar with the telling of storys VIA Narrotive which I think is awesome along with its production.I love the Casino boxmen scene were Ace is talking about whos watching who..

[charms71]

The depth of this movie is mind blowing. Scorsese is frighteningly ingenious.

[Pulpedtoafiction31]

I prefered Casino over Goodfellas but Goodfellas was a classic fils aswell.Very hard to pick which one you like best because they are both so good.

[charms71]

@Pulpedtoafiction31 I hear you. I used to prefer goodfellas but only because I hadn't seen Casino in a while, but when I revisited, I have no doubt that I now prefer Casino.

[chinahands100]

i like casino but its no goodfella's

i cant explain it..

[ziryab92]

@chinahands100 The writing is brilliant, acting is thrilling. Everything from costumes to production design and cinematography was much better than Goodfellas. it's a very beautiful crafted film indeed, and probably one of the most underrated films of the 90's. The themes and characters are somewhat similar to Goodfellas, but it's still very different in terms of how it looks and feels.

[mowriter]

7:01, the guy saying "Action". Isn't that also the guy who doesn't get the hammer but agrees to leave empty handed? The low level cheat?

[matteoprez]

@mowriter - yes, he's Joseph P. Reidy, long time Scorsese's 1st Assistant Director. Allegedly, Scorsese wanted to thank him giving him a little role, knowing he would love that. He did. In the IMDB database he's credited in both roles, as 'winner' and as 1st AD.

[matteoprez]

@mowriter He is. He had been Scorsese's 1st assistant director for a long time, and Scorsese wanted to thank him by giving him a little role. Which he did perfectly, in my opinion.

[TheGambler666]

@mowriter YEAH that's what i thought moment i saw him ... then i saw your comment!

[campaz83]

poleggio sounds strikingly like alan alda

[moorevayne]

fuckin kraut subtitles...

[PeterMayer]

@moorevayne I'm assuming you don't speak a second language genius...

[artdood1]

im suprised that marty didnt snap at the academy for not giving him an award for this movie. if not goodfellas, at LEAST, casino, but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. fucking a.

[Atomicflash500]

He will go back to making his gangster films but he better do so soon..because the actors he used were a big part of those films and he may loose them to age..

[viniciusb]

I can't believe this movie wasn't even nominated for Best Picture. Fucking 'Babe' was nominated. YES, Babe! Can you believe this shit?

[pismo10]

@viniciusb Academy awards are all political, political correctness,thin obvious messages, etc, just like the nobel peace prize. Actual quality has nothing to do with it.

[jerico641]

I'll comment: I think this movie in it's way is just as good, if not better, than "Goodfellas". Ray Liotta was the wildcard in "GF" and Sharon Stone was the wildcard in this movie; both of them turned in absorbing, fascinating performances of people hitting it big and destroying themselves with excess. And just the casino/Vegas setting is the best I've ever seen on film. I love this movie, love the guys, and I love Scorsese!

[dmk1979]

nicholas pileggi has the voice of alan alda

[ANOMALY1ate]

Can't believe no one has commented yet...... wait a m..
