Funny you mention it. Thinking back on this film, especially the slow burn establishing the town and its characters prior to the Vietnam scenes, I do believe they're exactly the forgotten Rush Belt Americans Trump appealed to.
Yeah same - I watched this despite how awful he is today, and he was amazing. But he absolutely hates the kind of men he played then and the people for whom that movie resonated. Hates the people who made his career, basically.

Yes, exactly! Philadelphia steel workers, churchgoers, hunters, military vets - those men would be Trump voters in 2020.
I'm glad I saw his best movies before he crapped himself. I can't watch any of his modern work.

Did Rob wear his tall man shoes for this movie?
Spez: why is this being downvoted? DeNiro really does walk around in platform shoes because he is a tiny man. Whatever
