Scatter Plot Shows Exactly When Robert De Niro Stopped Making Good Films
It's no secret that Robert De Niro is no longer involved in the classic movie and Oscar-winning game. No one exactly knows why, because he's still a great actor! He's just been a part of some truly awful films as of late. While only he knows why this sudden shift in career happened, Reddit user Honsco has narrowed down exactly when it happened with this scatter plot found below...
The graph is based off average Rotten Tomato scores. Looks like after age 60 things really went downhill for De Niro! I'm sure he has more than enough money, so why is he still doing it? I guess if I had nothing left to prove in Hollywood I would run around doing whatever I wanted rather than "what's best for my legacy." You only got so long on this Earth...might as well spend it with Zac Efron and hot chicks right?
It's also super hard to measure up to some of the films he was apart of so early in his career! The Godfather II, Goodfellas, The Deer Hunter, Casino, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver?! Those are all cinema classics! It's going to be hard to maintain that success train when the bar is so high!
