“No one is going to come. Nothing is going to happen. We’re all alone.”
“That’s in effect what it would be like: You’re completely under his control and he’s out of his mind. And that’s what, I feel, the world is like right now.”
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Brilliant look into a great cinematic mind. Scorsese comes across his usual articulate, learned, versatile and creative self. Was also fun to see an old-school director not being a zealot for “the good ol’ ways” technologically, and he is totally absent the crotchety demeanour that written statements of his about comic-book films (comments which are 1000% correct) have made him seem.
Many of the stories he chooses to make are not my cup of tea; but this is a great filmmaker with tremendous insight.
23 minutes of great films. Could have gone another 23. Living legend.
I didn’t know he was holding his silence 🙄
I always love hearing Martin Scorsese talk about movies, especially his own.
What he said when he was talking about the scene in Taxi Driver where Travis Bickle is getting rejected by Betsy over the phone and the camera pans away and stares down the empty hall is going to make that scene more powerful and sad next time I watch it. Because I knew that that shot represented his loneliness but to hear Scorsese say that it’s as if the camera is supposed to reveal someone come walking down the hall but no one is going to… That scene will be extra sad and impactful next time.
I learned a few things I didn’t know like how the scene in Mean Streets where they get shot in the car was inspired by Scorsese, when he was young, getting out of a car that was later shot at- with the occupants getting hit (or maybe he meant that the other occupants of the car he’d just exited were shot while they were outside of the car later that night).
I didn’t expect to learn about a boxing kangaroo film from Scorsese. I chuckled when he mentioned that. I don’t know if he actually watched it but I can see him and De Niro getting a good laugh out of it while they were preparing for Raging Bull. Or maybe Scorsese and De Niro watched it in utter seriousness and at one point, while the boxing kangaroo was throwing punches, Scorsese turned to De Niro and said: “Cinema…”
Only disappointing thing is that he didn’t talk about Shutter Island or Bringing Out the Dead.
“Every other person is like Travis Bickle now” lol
Is there some scorsese marketing campaign going on?
