Who

Edgy contrarians with no taste

I have a love/hate relationship with Scorcese.

Love:
Taxi Driver
Hugo
The Departed
Silence
Shutter Island

Hate:
Everything Else

I pretend to hate him on Sup Forums but in real life i think he;s pretty good

Silence could unironically be the best film of this decade

B-but user! I made these movies f-for you!

>if you don't like unsophisticated attempts at stream of consciousness storytelling then you have no taste
Scorcese is overrated, to say the least.

>Its bad because I declare this one staple unsophisticated arbitrarily

Arguments please

>I declare this one staple unsophisticated arbitrarily
What did he mean by this word salad?

I've grown more indifferent to his films, and realized how shallow and simple his work actually is, but I still can't hate it for nostalgic reasons.

>Hating Goodfellas
>Hating The King of Comedy

If you can't understand basic sentences I suggest you steer clear of film criticism threads

What do you consider "deep" films in contrast?

"I arbitrarily declare this one staple unsophisticated" is a syntactically better way to have worded that post, and "staple" was shitty word choice to begin with.

If you can't into basic English then I suggest you steer clear of film criticism threads.

Why do you hate movies about Italian people?

Completely subjective assertions.
Try harder kid, I'm not here to talk poetry

I hate his modern stuff. He hasn't been good since the 80's.

His films are about Americans.

>I hate Goodfellas, The Age of Innocence, Casino, The Departed and Silence
>but I think he used to be good

>I'm not here to talk poetry
Yeah, who fucking cares.

Say "I declare this one staple unsophisticated arbitrarily" out loud to yourself and see how retarded you sound.

He has a real problem with glamourising criminals and "bad boys" even when he's not intending to.

After Hours is really charming

>he hates Casino

yikes

Just did, sounds great

There are good ones and bad ones you mother whoring Irish nigger!

Spelling his name correctly can't be that hard OP.

Shoreseasea

>the departed

It was better the first time, when it was called Infernal Affairs

>having to steal from gooks
>receiving any acclaim whatsoever

He was also cucked by David Lynch

>voice over narration intensifies

Name three good things about Scorcese's filmmaking.

Name one thing good about The Departed.

Since him and the Stones are still alive is doing shittonnes of coke really good for your heart or something?

Best thing about scorsese was paul schrader

Like Ridley Scott, he makes pretty good movies out of middleweight, or often dire scripts. Would you have guessed that the screenwriters of GONY had finished high school? They aren't classics on the level of a Francis Ford Coppola, but interesting experiments nonetheless. Journalistic maybe, but never bad.

>Hugo
>The Departed
>Silence
>Shutter Island

Movies that nobody remembers general?

classic rock

cocaine

italians being degenerate

narrators

bada bing, you got a scorsese flick

lol no it wasn't you gook

Scorsese has been pretty weak lately, but he has a quite the resume. Raging, Taxi Driver, King of Comedy... all outstanding films. If only the plebtards of today didn't just recognize him as the guy who made "wolf of wallstreet" or "hugo".

The acting. Literally anyone in that movie could've taken an Oscar for their work. Baldwin hadn't actually had a role like that before, it took foresight to cast him.

Bringing Out The Dead was his last great movie. Wolf was fun.

Didn't he just yell a lot? Acting is among the least important parts of narrative film.

>It was better the first time, when it was called Infernal Affairs
It really wasn't.

I think it was his ability to convey someone who's stressed without a lot of ways to express himself. It's comedic, but it's not caricature. That takes an intelligent actor. The ability to cast well is better than his use of music, imo. The acting really blends into the narrative in The Departed, because Sullivan and Costigan are almost treated as one lead character.

It seemed to convey some of the racial ventriloquism of America, where everyone is a bit of a composite, in a New England context. It seemed like a 21st century film for that reason. In contrast, the script for The Irishman forgoes this and relies on food to convey multiplicity...that seems like a step backward to me, but they'll manage to make it interesting.

It's also interesting that Damon's character appears part-German while DiCaprio's character seems part-English. Is The Departed a post-War film in that regard? The case could be made, and I think it makes the work more compelling.

no raging bull or goodfellas come on

and shutter island, being on that list, come on

>muh infernal memefairs

bye rddit

trips of truth. his most underrated work. A mini masterpiece

Goodfellas may be the most entertaining movie of all time. I can't understand how a guy wouldn't like it

I pretty much hated everything about Goodfellas except for Joe Pesci

>classic rock
>cocaine
Yeah, this was particularly jarring in Silence. I mean sure, Italians are going to be subhuman animals in any century, but did they really need to play "Sore wa watashide wanai" When that guy drowned?

you got ahold of the script?

I did, yeah. It's interesting. Hoffa arrives a bit late for my liking, but it's essentially about Sheeran's role with the Teamsters and Hoffa's attempts to remain in power after his prison term.

>not one good Scorcese movie

I guess I'll say yes

There's a little with Bobby Kennedy's lawsuit and JFK's rendezvous in Dallas, but it's not a very political script. I think of it as a buddy movie between Bufalino and Sheeran, there weren't enough memorable moments with Hoffa, but Pacino will deliver them I'm sure.

>he hates The Last Temptation

It seems like the film should show Hoffa at his worst before giving him the chance to play a Capraesque hero in the courtroom. Then you'd have a real moral dilemma.

Basically I suppose you'd say Hoffa represents an American vision of Prussian Socialism, while De Niro's character (Sheeran) comes to represent the establishment.

Maybe Pacino will channel a touch of Bernie Sanders? Hard to say. It was an early draft but it clearly has great potential.

the only problem i have with scorsese is the music. i'm really sick of hearing rolling stones songs in his movies.

this. no one talks about this. his use of music is extremely distracting and over the top.

youtu.be/w8JFlpvjMh0

Style, tone, voice.

i liked how he used howlin wolf music in the wolf of wall street, but for his gangster movies the music is just too much. the way he uses music is memorable, but it gets annoying after a while, goodfellas is like a 2 hour long music video, there's barely any scenes without a song blasting in the background

>Read an interview with Keith Richards during one of they last tours
>said people still throw bags of drugs on stage
>says roadies collect it up in a box
>he picks through it after the show and takes what he wants
>the rest gets divided up by the roadies and crew
Drugs are really bad for you unless you do all of them. Then you're immortal.

I dislike his love affair with biopics. They're generally my least favorite kind of movie.

who would waste good drugs like that? sound like bullshit

he only smokes weed now anyway, he hasn't used dope since like the early 90s or something

Have you really never seen people throw drugs on stage at a concert before?

Idk, a lot of the older records fit into the background pretty well.

>implying i ever leave my moms basement

The older I get, the fewer filmmakers I respect, and the more I respect Scorsese.

Hard to really notice some tiny bag you can't even see unless you're actually on stage.

>yo im italian so go fuck urself and then ur mother

I loved Taxi Driver, everything else I've seen has been complete shit.
Baffles me that people seriously enjoy Goodfellas.

>ancestors come from exclusively from sicily before italian unification
>claim to be ITALIAN

AYY IM PRUSSIAN NIGGA LONG LIVE THE KAISER

Says Vinny who was born in Long Island and is 75% Irish

I will now name everything GOOD Scorsese has made.

Who's That Knocking At My Door?
Mean Streets
Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore
Taxi Driver
New York, New York
Raging Bull
Documentary about his friend that was the dealer in Taxi Driver

Everything else garbage.

Hey, you dropped this!

Shitty remake.

Scorsese's shit when he tries to do spiritual movies (see: Kundun).

This board is full of low IQ contrarians now.

Scorcese's has made 3 of my favorite movies of all time, eat my boner you idiot.

The Departed
The King of Comedy
Casino

High IQ patricians you mean. Scorsese's imdb reddit quipfest-core, but not even good quipfest like Howard Haws, Billy Wilder, or Neil Simon just kind of empty-headed emulative attempts at sounding and looking cool.

His contributions to film preservation and history are duly appreciated though.

I agree. Scorsese has actually made two of my most hated movies of all time: The Departed and Hugo.

Also none of his movies made in the last 15 years are more than mediocre.

sorry

why did people like silence? it was just dude step on a picture of jesus lmao for 3 hours.

>Loves the departed
>hates goodfellas

kys

Why do people hate The Departed so much? Their is no way that movie is worse than Infernal Affairs and has incredible acting performances from Nicholson, DiCaprio and Damon.

I figured it was a tongue-in-cheek thread, where we act ironic

king of comedy was pretty shit tbqh

Agreed, but what was the best film from the last decade?

Why do people like the departed? It was the worst movie i have seen from him.

weebs

>Ctrl+F
>no aviator

Why no love for my favourite Scorsese film?

I like Scorsese but I've just seen Silence and my goodness, it drags on for WAY TOO FUCKING LONG.

Half the theater was asleep, and the other that was awake laughed at how bad it was in some parts, like when Jesus tells the priest to step on his image. Then we all left, and you could see that everybody had a look like they've been just ripped off.

3/10

cherish this living legend Sup Forums you will be sad when he's gone

Because it won awards, it's popular, and people are contrarians.

>it drags on for WAY TOO FUCKING LONG
What did you mean by this?
