I mean I guess it was de Niro, right? Except halfway through, they started talking about JFK as the Irishman. Then I was thinking oh, that's why they called it that.

Then it became mostly about Jimmy Hoffa, and I don't know his lineage but he didn't like Italians, so I started thinking maybe he was the Irishman.

The movie was a bit underwhelming, I gotta be honest. It never really got to the point where I felt like it was worth the 3 and a half hours.

The point of the film was that, deep down, we, the audiance, are ALL The Irishman.

They called JFK that too though. And if he's supposed to be Irish, why didn't de Niro change his accent in any way?

Frank is an Irish American in the mob world full of Italians. There's the scene where Russell gives Frank a ring. Russell says only 3 men have these and only one of them (Frank) is Irish.
