It makes a lot of sense how Frankie was so easily and viciously able to turn on Nicky in the end. Just watch his body language and subtle reactions to Nicky's behavior in this scene and throughout the movie. He was incredibly loyal to the bosses and the organization, so he protected Nicky no matter what. But it's clear he really disapproved of and was growing exhausted of Nicky's unnecessary, egotistically destructive bullshit. Scorsese did a good job of keeping it on the periphery and not giving it too much focus, so as not to foreshadow Nicky's demise, but it's there if you watch for it. Especially after the bus stop scene where Nicky threatens to wanna go to war with the bosses.

Decades of the guilt eating away at him for ordering the murder of his brother bursting out. At the time when he made the choice, he was the ruthless don, obsessive with his reputation & removing any weakness. He thought that's all what mattered. But what was it all for? In the end, it was ashes. It was worth nothing. Money, power. fear, what did it get him? He hands over control to Vincent with only regret, self loathing & guilt.

I find these World Trade Center simulations by Kostack Studio fascinating because they remove the smoke and let you see the collapse much more clearly.

In the real footage, so much is hidden by fire, dust, debris, distance, and chaos that many people come away with the impression that the towers simply dropped straight down into their own footprints.

But that is not really what happened.

These simulations make it much easier to see that the collapse begins in the heavily damaged and fire-weakened region, the upper section starts moving and tilting, and the destruction then propagates downward through the structure.

The towers do not simply disappear vertically into their own footprints. Large portions of the upper structure and exterior are moving outward and to the side as the collapse develops. Much of that motion is simply obscured in the real videos once the enormous debris cloud forms.

And this is also why I find these simulations useful when people describe the collapses as looking like “controlled demolition.”

Strip away the smoke and dust and the resemblance becomes much less convincing.

What you see is a highly asymmetric structural failure beginning around the aircraft-damaged and fire-affected floors, followed by an enormous moving mass progressively overwhelming the structure beneath it. There is tilting, rotation, exterior columns peeling away, debris being thrown far outside the building footprint, and structural failure occurring chaotically as the collapse moves downward.

That is very different from the neat mental image usually implied by “controlled demolition,” where structural supports are deliberately severed in a carefully timed sequence to produce a predetermined collapse.

And importantly, we already know what preceded these collapses.

Both towers suffered massive aircraft-impact damage. Fireproofing was stripped from portions of the structure. Large, uncontrolled fires then burned across multiple floors - for about 56 minutes in the South Tower and about 102 minutes in the North Tower - heating and weakening structural components until collapse initiated.

Once that upper mass began moving, the loads imposed on the floors and structure beneath became vastly greater than anything they had been designed to carry.

The result was progressive collapse.

No, an animation is not proof simply because it looks convincing, and these are not official NIST simulations. They are visualizations built under particular assumptions.

But as visualizations, I think they are extremely useful.

They let you see something the original footage often cannot show clearly: beneath that enormous cloud of smoke and debris was a complicated, violent, asymmetric structural failure - not two buildings neatly dropping straight down into their own footprints.

A note on the simulation: this is not intended to reproduce the collapse down to the exact motion of every beam, floor panel, and fragment of debris. No practical simulation could do that. Its value is in modeling the large-scale structural behavior - how the major sections deform, move, tilt, separate, and progressively fail. Think of it as a visualization of the mechanics and overall collapse behavior, not a frame-by-frame reconstruction of where every piece of steel ultimately landed.

Henry disobeying Paulie makes perfect sense when you look at the life he'd been living. Wise guys were used to living a life of doing whatever they wanted. Sure, there were a few rules, like not killing made guys without permission, but again, rules didn't come easy to them. They lived the life specifically to sidestep rules; they thought the rules didn't apply to them or that they would always get away with it. So of course Henry thought he could get away with disobeying Paulie; he'd been flouting the rules his whole life.

Al Pacino's rendition of Jimmy Hoffa is brilliant. It's a serious character but he plays it in a way where you never take him seriously, he's a fool who doesn't know he is not too big for "The Guys" to take him out and it resonates all the way through. You take him seriously but at the same time, he's like that endearing crazy uncle who always makes everyone laugh!

Este vídeo é impressionante. É uma simulação do colapso das torres, parece que não mas o fumo escondeu o peso e agressividade que foram a queda as WTC... É muito assustador... Relembro que tudo isso caiu em cima de pessoas que estavam no local...

An ABC reporter and cameraman desperately race to safety as the Twin Towers collapse on 9/11.

The sound of those towers coming down is haunting. 💔 I can’t even begin to imagine what it must have sounded like in person, standing there and watching those massive buildings collapse right in front of you.

Absolutely devastating.

Why did the twin towers collapse so quickly after the planes hit on 9/11?

The NIST investigation (the U.S. government’s multi-year engineering study of the collapses) concluded that the impact of the planes themselves didn’t cause the towers to collapse. The towers absorbed the impacts (as they were designed to do) and stayed standing for 56 minutes (South Tower / WTC 2) and 102 minutes (North Tower / WTC 1). It was the thousands of gallons of jet fuel (approx 10,000 gallons in each of the planes) that were ignited upon impact that caused the structural integrity of the towers to fail and trigger a cascade of collapse.

What happened, in sequence:
1. Following each impact:
Each Boeing 767 sliced through many perimeter columns and some core columns and sprayed approximately 6,000 gallons of jet fuel across several floors. 4,000 gallons was burned up immediately upon impact. This is what what caused the initial huge fire balls. More importantly, the jet fuel/debris blast stripped large areas of the spray-on fireproofing that coated the steel floor trusses and columns. Without that insulation, the steel was exposed to fire.
2. Sustained multi-floor fires:
The jet fuel ignited ordinary office contents (paper, furniture, carpets, plastics). Because walls and windows were already breached, the fires had plenty of air and burned simultaneously on multiple floors at temperatures around 1,000 °C. Steel does not have to melt to lose strength. It loses a large fraction of its strength and stiffness well below melting point (typically starting around 500–600 °C).
3. Floors sagged and pulled inward;
The unprotected floor trusses heated, sagged, and pulled the perimeter columns inward. Photographs and video show this inward bowing on the south face of the North Tower and the east face of the South Tower in the minutes before collapse.
4. Columns buckled, upper blocks dropped;
Once a critical number of perimeter columns on one face buckled inwards, the entire upper section of the building (everything above the impact/fire zone) began to tilt and drop. The kinetic energy of that falling mass was far greater than the remaining structure below could absorb, so the collapse progressed downward through the intact floors.

NIST concluded the towers would almost certainly have remained standing if the fireproofing had not been stripped over large areas. They also stated they found no corroborating evidence for explosives or controlled demolition. The collapses initiated at the floors the planes crashed through and ignited and progressed from there.
The combination of severe local structural damage, plus long duration, multi floor fires on unprotected steel is why the buildings collapsed the way they did, after roughly an hour rather than remaining standing for many hours as a typical high rise fire might allow.

In "Mystic River" (2003), Sean Penn pushed himself to the absolute limit while filming the film’s most devastating scene.

When Jimmy Markum discovers that his daughter Katie has been murdered, Penn’s grief became so physically intense that Clint Eastwood had additional actors help restrain him during the scene.

After Eastwood called cut, Penn was reportedly hyperventilating and so exhausted that production staff gave him oxygen to recover.

The performance ultimately earned Penn his first Academy Award for Best Actor.

But the cast almost looked very different. Michael Keaton was originally set to play Detective Sean Devine and spent a month in Boston preparing, including riding along with Massachusetts State Police.

Just weeks before filming, Keaton left after creative differences with Eastwood. Kevin Bacon stepped into the role shortly afterward, and the rest became Oscar-winning cinema history.

La MASTERCLASS que dio Al Pacino en Tarde De Perros (1975) debería de ser de obligado visionado.

Una de las inmersiones más intensas y realistas que he visto. Se ve que lo dejó todo... Física y psicológicamente.
