When Wong says he used the Raging Bull fight scenes for part of his inspiration, Scorsese looks so surprised & embarrassed, such a humble guy, so awesome :)
Let me correct myself. Years from now, Kar Wai will be considered on the greats. Or are you implying that his films aren't as great as that of Scorsese's? Or, let me put it in yet another way, WKW is one of the greatest directors working today. WKW(modern)/MS(all time)
fuckingkimura . Yeah, I was thinking about the status of the two of them at work today, and in all actuality, neither of them are one of the greatest. You have to go back to the beginning of cinema, old Hollywood, French new wave, early Japanese, etc., and there, you will find the greats, and there are many names that could be considered great :)
Martin gets lot of inspiration from Hong Kong movie.... His movie departed was a remake of Hong Kong movie internal affairs for which he got Oscar...... If bong joon ho can win Oscar for parasites than wong kar wai should have atleast 2 Oscar(chucking express and in the mood for love)
Nah because Chungking would’ve went up against pulp fiction which should’ve won that year not forest Gump. That being said in the mood for love should’ve won over gladiator
@@trevorchan3363 lol pulp fiction was ripped off chunking express with no deeper meaning..... And in the mood for love is easily the best movie of 21st century so far.... See the BBC list of 100 greatest film of 21st century
@@sameerahmed-gx8js clearly you haven’t seen Mulholland drive or there will be blood. Those two are the best film made this century. I have in the mood for love a comfortable 3. Also there’s no way pulp fiction ripped off chunking express when they came out in the same year lmao. Love wong but pulp is a superior film to Chungking express. In the mood for love is superior to most films but let’s be real pulp fiction is one of the best films from the 90s and is THE best film from 1994.
@@trevorchan3363 yeah I do agree with Mulholland drive.... I will also add city of God and spirited away......i agree pulp fiction is great movie but as I said there's no depth in the movie unlike chunking express.....
Fun fact: He had been speaking english that well for his entire career, but didn‘t do interviewsin english for a long time , because he thought it was funny
I wonder why enter to this dichotomy between the directors? Why we must choose the other over the other? They are both auteurs in their own right. To me Wong Kar Wai one of the most romantic and moving filmmakers while Scorsese is the master of grit and thrill. Is this the same situation why people rate movies in IMDb either 10 or 1? This attitude is also seen when people go ape shit over sports. Rooting for the home team and booing for the opponent. :)
in sports, there is a team you support and always root for them. there is a winner and a loser. art is different of course but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong to have an opinion about it. discussing, contextualizing, criticizing, and reviewing art is one way to further appreciate it.
when it comes to who is the Godfather of Cinema...Influence is a key role.. In terms of Influence, Hitchcock, Godard, Kubrick, Kurosawa, Ford, Tarkovsky, Bergman and Welles should be called the Fathers of Cinema..
@@vb2388 Scorsese is one of the most influential filmmakers of all time. Mean streets, taxi driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, The Irishman!! How many more masterpieces do you need? He's one of the greatest living filmmakers for god's sake.
