YES! Same here. When he called Deniro "kid"... That was weird. I love ILM but this was not a good job. It was probably impossible and most likely unnecessary. Just write a screenplay where all of them are old, period. The movie was excellent nonetheless. Love it! Very different from Casino or Goodfellas, but still very interesting to watch unfold.

@@MirandaAndUh It's not how he looks; the only issue I could see with the de-aging technology is the extremely young DeNiro did not quite get there, but was close enough.

A man in his 20s shouldn't be portrayed as slightly hunched and nearly shuffling when he's walking.

(first planes also crashed, first submarines drowned etc.) it's just a pity that one of these pioneer "crashes" happened to be a movie that was supposed to be Scorsese's great farewell to cinema.

Martin Scorsese isn't George Lucas. Scorsese respects the art enough to leave it be, as it was, as it should be, warts and all. That's called artistic integrity. Besides, even ignoring that (which you shouldn't), this is a movie, not a video game, so the source files didn't have to be scaled down for the final result to work with a restrictive game engine. The way it looks in the movie is as good as those source files will ever look. They'd have to remake new files entirely to do what you're asking.

I've seen De Niro's very first movies like "Greetings", and he's got this quality to his face like he was never really young. John Cleese was like that. My dad's like that. De Niro looked good, but always had a 'mature' face over his career. I mean I love his face, but he was never cute. Meanwhile Al Pacino definitely was super CUTE in his youth. Compare them side by side and you might see what I mean. I think that's how De Niro played young Vito so well-- a younger man with an older man's face. Then Pacino's Michael Corleone was a young (cute!) man whose decent into darkness visibly marked his face, as if the mafia sucked the life out of him.
