The Audition

Apparently this cost $70 Million and the lead actors walked away with $13 million each for 2 days of shooting. Incredible.

This shirt is a history that we might not see again. De Niro and DiCaprio with Scorsese, and plus Pitt?! I only can say wow, what a genius idea. The conversations between De Niro and DiCaprio are priceless and so funny. I think this movie should've been rated 10, no kidding. People who understand the cinematography, definitely will appreciate this 15mins comedy. I've watched 3 times already, I think I can watch it everyday:). Happy watching!

It's a wonderful short film with my favorite actors, and of course the film bring you a smile in your face 😊

You've got the greatest actors and one of the best directors in a short film. What could be better than that?

I don't want to give away the plot, but the actors are competing for a role in one of Scorsese's new movies. He interviews all of them separately at a hotel in Asia.

It's funny, cool. I don't see why they had to make this short film, but it's a nice little watch one random day.

5 stars

A very strange short film/15-minute-long hotel advertisement starring Martin Scorsese's two favourite lead actors (and Scorsese himself), I guess The Audition is fun for the novelty of seeing De Niro and DiCaprio together, and for providing a little entertainment value, but that's about it. It's otherwise ridiculous that this apparently cost $70 million to make - I guess everyone involved was seen as worth it, from a business perspective, but I wish they'd done a little more with what it was about.

De Niro and DiCaprio both want a part in Scorsese's latest movie. They squabble over it for a while, and then while there is a punchline, it's really not funny enough. I wish it ended with a bit more of a bang, to kind of make the whole thing feel worth it.

Feels ridiculous to even review a commercial, but it's a long and expensive one, and you could generously call it a short film. I wish it either looked a little nicer or was written a little better (even the screenwriter here is a big name - it's Terence Winter, who did the screenplay for The Wolf of Wall Street, wrote for The Sopranos, and created Boardwalk Empire).
