Thelma Schoonmaker, who has worked with Martin Scorsese for 50 years, reveals how she cut a scene in TheIrishman in which Robert De Niro's character has a devastating realization
— a record she shares with Steven Spielberg's longtime collaborator Kahn, as well as the late Daniel Mandell and Ralph Dawson.
One of her favorite scenes, setting the stage for the movie's climax, is what she calls the "salad" scene. "You see Joe Pesci making salad and hinting to De Niro that Jimmy Hoffa is going to be killed, which is absolutely devastating for De Niro because Hoffa is his best friend, along with the Joe Pesci character," Schoonmaker explains. "It's very simple, and the language is oblique. They never say, 'You're going to kill somebody.
Schoonmaker says the powerful scenes were "very simply edited." When Sheeran later heads to the plane that's going to fly him to the place where he'll kill Hoffa, "we held on the shot of him in the plane far longer than we should in the ordinary pacing of a movie, because it was so powerful. We just couldn't cut it."
