Whether you think Donald Trump should be watching movies in the White House or a prison cell, it’s hard to disagree with him on this 1990 mob epic by Martin Scorsese. It’s bridge-and-tunnel glamour is pure Trump.
“Great entertainment, with a stellar cast and terrific direction. The intensity propelled the story forward and the ‘business’ and how it was handled was impressive,” Trump told Movieline.
Scorsese drew a link between his 2019 gangster epic The Irishman and Donald Trump in a Directors Guild of America conversation with Spike Lee. Scorsese shared some observations about how both mob bosses and the then-President Donald Trump expressed their wishes.
“It was 2016 when the election happened. It was 2017 [when we shot this],” Scorsese said. “It was there. It was prominent [and] as it played it out there was resonance, there’s no doubt, in those scenes. I think you can see how pressure is applied. How things are said, but not said. Yet technically you can say, “They didn’t say this.” You follow?”
