A huge mistake was not casting young actors for 50s and 60s and 70s parts of this far too long and indulgent Scorsese mish-mash. Watching all these great old actors try to be young again is painful, and ruins the movie. Why Scorsese could not trust himself to make a solid well cast film is just beyond me. The script was so long, so repetitive, and so dull. The period atmosphere was spot on, but again ruined by old duffers taking up space that would have been better served by solid newcomers. And I say this as an old duffer myself, and an admirer of all of them. I can't turn back the clock and neither can they. And that constantly takes you out of the movie.
