We will not return to the legend De Niro, this time blessed his duet with Scorsese, one of the golden age of his career, the 70-80 decades until, say, 1995, the masterful duplicate Casino / Heat . Anyway, one we liked, we still loved and still love. He who calls us is the Bobby today, who at 72, connects the nanars where less than 20 years discovering, puzzled to be told that they have before them one the greatest living actors. And we understand. For over 10 years, Robert De Niro oar to update its former glory and it must be said that it takes bad.
Yet all was not so badly. Known for its needs renewal, adventurous and adept diversity even cutting corners, always driven by the fierce desire to get rid of heavy legend coat roles “cults”, he decided, at 55, spunk itself in the air 30 from respectable. Mafia Blues (1999), he created the (happy) surprise by parodying in New York depressive godfather forced to consult a psychiatrist. At first we loved. It was guts to refer to his iconic roles in self-pastiche character of wop mafia he had so superbly camped. He dared the comedy a little clumsy, renewal laughter corny, he addressed the fifty by an evil foot-nose. Unfortunately for him, almost simultaneously came out The Sopranos , legendary series in eerily similar pitch which then revealed James Gandolfini, unforgettable Tony Soprano and the comparisons match, De Niro came out the loser.
An alert that should have him put a flea in the ear. Encouraged by the success of public Mafia Blues , yet he keeps going with the comic trilogy My stepfather and I . Between 2000 and 2010, he delights to caricature in stepfather retired from the C.I.A., paranoid, conservative and torturing. His first shouting matches with his son-in Ben Stiller are first critically acclaimed, composition totally eclipse that of his younger and the public follows. But De Niro made the zeal continues with Mafia Blues 2 , and his antics saw the malaise. It is the beginning of the end. Meet the Fockers and Little Fockers sign the total defection of criticism, its second embodiment The Good (2006) is not convincing and his umpteenth self-parody sponsor in shark Tale (2004) in which he voices the old Don Lino feels badly warmed . De Niro makes chess as 15 minutes , Showtime , by the Sea or Paths of Dignity which, obviously, he finally decided to turn away.
He lost control of the skid began with Mafia Blues ? His career choice turned against him and he is now synonymous with nanar? Either. Bobby Milk decides to do a bad job against heart and retiring. But public face. Through a series of shocking movies ( Happy New Year , The Ages of Love , A great wedding Malavita Last Vegas , The new trainee ) that we send as many postcards mailed sunny since the Club Med-trays, it declines in both the eternal same reason (the pensioner gâtifiant) and a shirt with short sleeves festival of rooms and tap summer dresses that feel like filming the flows chained by a septuagenarian still frisky. Considerations existential bullshit , untimely and irritating histrionics, schoolboy gags, caricatured roles of happy idiot redneck, he tramples merrily one of the most successful careers in the world, managing the feat to turn bad actor. comedy fan of sentimentality without name, it turns ostensibly more respectable genres (drama in mind, rightly or wrongly) and cachetonne in bad thrillers ( Leg , Killer Elite , Limitless ) without ever managing to improve its image. It was believed for a moment that the combo Golden Globe for lifetime achievement in 2011 + nomination for Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Silver Linings Playbook twenty years after Cape Fear would end the curse. In vain. The output of Dirty Grandpa Dan Mazer (the writer of Brüno and Borat ) proves that the choice of the actor remains an intense pattern query.
Faced with a Zac Efron more bodybuilder ever, Robert De Niro plays a grandfather unworthy and desalted widower who drags his little son to look preppy in Spring Break Florida, just to make him not want to marry his fiancee psycho. While Bob and Hawaiian shirt, alias Dick De Niro (…) exults and transforms the film into an extension cord to campaign for a third age uninhibited. He followed the dialogues of vulgarity rarely equaled, if embarrassing scenes that border on genius and pronounces the word “Fuck” way Tourette syndrome as the good old days of Taxi driver . Grandpa is certainly resistance but hits the bottom of humiliation with that character a sex maniac in foul humor. Nothing to stem its declining filmography, on the contrary. But Martin Scorsese ensures his creature, and it is rumored that he should meet Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and De Niro for his next film, The Irishman , the story of a contract killer suspected for eliminating a mob boss in 1975. he will Save Grandpa Bobby?
