Martin Scorsese

Goodfellas is definitely better and more fun.

>>83476473
Wow you are a retard.

Raging Bull
It's a pleb filter btw

He didn't make a single good film after 1999

>>83477075
why is that, anon

>>83477121
wolf of wall street?

>>83477062
Casino is better.

>>83477722
That film is shit

Doesn't matter what his best work is, it just matters that if I see his name on the poster I go to see the film with no questions asked.

>>83476473
I forgot why I had deleted this from my HDD when it came on TV the other day and now I remember, it's because it's full of cringe-porn. And the only reason to ask any man to focus on this many examples of social failure is to hope some of them rub off on him by the act of worrying about avoiding them all. It's in the same shitty league as how to lose friends and alienate people.

At least in Mean Streets it felt like he was willing to offer a sliver of guidance.

>>83478360
thought i was going to have to take you seriously there kek

>>83476473
Taxi Driver or Raging Bull is probably his best, but my favorite is Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore or Mean Streets

>>83478914
No, really, it's his dumbest movie to date.

>>83478945
ok

>>83478945
i mean, it's not good, but it's still better than Boxcar Bertha

personally i think Silence is one of his best but for the most part his 21st century work has been extremely lacking

Bringing Out the Dead was the last good movie he made

>>83479016
Hugo was great

>>83480943
kids movies do not interest me

Wolf of Wallstreet is like a movie to see how many degeneracies can be committed on screen in 2 hours. Why does it get so much praise?

>>83481013
Because it's so much fun Jan!

Wolf of Wall Street

I will be right in 25 years

>>83481147
No you won't.

I legitimately do not understand why people rate Wolf of Wall Street so highly.

I don't.

It's like Scorcese thought, "Man, I wish I had made Wall Street; here's my chance -- and I'll turn it up to 11!"

>>83478945
You didn't get it

>>83481237
Explain it to me, nice and slowly.

>>83481232
plebs gonna be plebs

Silence but maybe just because it's fresh in my mind

>>83481232
It's definitely the one I find myself rewatching the most. It's just very effective at what it does, which is to be horrifying and reprehensible, but fun and addictive.

Which is really what it's saying about greed and capitalism as a whole. The whole movie has this manic energy that makes it seem like a really short three hours. It's exploring a theme that is very common for Scorsese; how excitement and adrenaline and thrills distract us from the larger implications and repercussions of our actions. It's a huge part of Goodfellas or even Raging Bull.

I just think WoWS did it the best. It's the story that most resonates with that theme which has long been a fascination of Scorsese's, probably due to its much larger sociological scale.

>>83476473
Everything he's made before the year 2000 is great. Only plebs disagree and squabble over which is le better.

>>83481232
You mean he turned everything up to 11 in a movie about a guy who turned everything up to 11?
GEE I FUCKING WONDER WHY HE DID THAT.

>>83476473

Either The Departed, Goodfellas or Raging bull.
Don't get me wrong, Taxi Driver is pretty good but it's not all that relatable if you are not an American.

>It's a /tv/ pretends they haven't watched Goodfellas and The Departed 10x more then Taxi Driver episode

Why doesn't/tv/hate the departed?

>>83481287
It's satire

He's also exploring the moral implications of complicit spectatorship, because all of those movies are not just about people who do bad things but distract themselves with how good it feels, but how audiences enable them by celebrating what they do. Whether it's the boxing fan, the gangster cinema fan, or the person who also wants to learn how to get rich, we'll turn a blind eye as well.

For me it has to be Silence. It's not the one I would rewatch every year like The Departed or Casino, but I could talk about it for hours.

this guy gets it
