Father’s Day: Is late fatherhood à la Al Pacino, Robert De Niro risky?

18 Jun 2023  |  www.healthshots.com  |  English  |  Fertility

Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, and Prabhudeva have recently embraced late fatherhood, raising questions about the risks associated with it. While women face a biological clock, men can produce sperm throughout their lives, though the quality declines with age. Experts highlight that advanced paternal age can lead to reduced semen quality, delayed conception, erectile dysfunction, and increased risks of genetic disorders and childhood cancers in offspring. To improve male fertility, men are advised to maintain a healthy lifestyle, manage stress, avoid smoking and alcohol, and reduce exposure to pollutants and heat. The article emphasizes the importance of not judging late fatherhood and supports the freedom of choice for both men and women regarding parenthood.

Goodfellas: The Scorsese Film That Had a Cold Reception but Achieved a Late (and Somewhat Absurd) Act of Justice

18 Feb 2025  |  www.lanacion.com.ar  |  Spanish  |  Cinema

Goodfellas, directed by Martin Scorsese, initially received a lukewarm reception upon its release in 1990 but later gained recognition as a classic mafia film. Based on Nicholas Pileggi's book about real-life mobster Henry Hill, the film faced challenges in production, including securing rights and casting. Despite a strong cast and Scorsese's dedication, it was overshadowed by other films at the box office and the Oscars.

Serpico (1973) is a gritty film set in New York City, focusing on police corruption within the NYPD. Al Pacino's portrayal of Frank Serpico, a law-abiding but socially dysfunctional officer, is central to the film. Directed by Sidney Lumet, the movie diverges from typical cop films by emphasizing character over action. Despite its fame, the film is critiqued for not delving deeply into Serpico's motivations. It played a significant role in the careers of Pacino and Lumet and remains a notable example of 1970s US cinema, reflecting themes of integrity and systemic corruption.
