Two movie icons like these should have made more projects together.They both have such presence.

[HELP]

I see a lot of people saying De Niro is trying too hard in this scene to keep up with Nicholson. That’s literally the point of the scene. That’s De Niro’s character in the film. Kazan worked with De Niro on shaking his laid back presence and to speak more like an intellectual. He said De Niro was a New York street kid and he wanted him to to be a bit more uptight for the role. So what you’re seeing here is exactly what they were trying to achieve.

2 time academy award winner Robert De niro and 3 time academy award winner Jack Nicholson. Truly epic

It’s hard to grab attention from Jack. His presence is unreal

Two incredible actors at the very top of their game. Such a privilege to witness this interaction between Jack and Robert. Two of my favourite actors of all time. For anyone wondering what movie this was, it was Shrek 4.

Acting normal, sad, happy and specially mad for Jack is like drinking water.. he's extremely extraordinary...

Nicholson always has control of the room. What a legend.

[StudMacher]

Nicholson always knew how to make people laugh and scared naturally, and Bob always knew how to be a subtle badass. And both of them did it so well without seeming over the top.

This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.

It was amazing for me to see these two legendary acting titans together in the same film. Their dialogue between these two is sublime! They're two of my favorite actors.

[daktraveler]

This is the acting equivalent of Ali vs. Frazier. Two legends going at it.

Jack eating that pastry cookie and sipping on the coffee is amazing

[theseattlegreen]

Never knew this ever happened!
Awesome!

[villain]

this scene doesn't prove anything about who is the more skilled actor, the role simply fits Nicholson better but they are different actors different people, no actor is good enough to play everything. I don't see Nicholson playing Jake LaMotta or Vito Corleone and I don't see De Niro playing Jake Gittes or Jack Torrance.

I am so glad to see these 2 legendary actors together on screen before their time comes

[jennifersman]

In case anyone wondered, this is from the movie The Last Tycoon

It was adapted from an unfinished story by F. Scott Fitzgerald and also starred Robert Mitchum and Tony Curtis

[TonioSjena]

You can feel the tension on your skin. Great actors

[plus_sign]

this was fascinating to watch without context and it all feels relevant to the current moment... not a big Nicholson fan but that last "oh yes" got me good

[DummyYEEEAAHHHHH]

Two masters of their craft....two of the best to ever grace a screen....it would've been awesome to see them work together as they got a little older like DeNiro and Pacino....

Why does this look like the same place from The Godfather when Michael told his brother Fredo hes dead to him?
