Martin Scorsese Still Has Stories to Tell 

😢

How heartbreaking it is? 💔💔💔

@@RahulKumar-ng2gh Indeed. It's why I support research into longevity. It sucks that people as amazing as Scorcese spend decades perfecting their craft, and then they get old. And lots of others in many professions have expressed the same sentiment. My parents have said this too. It seems like a cosmic joke. Imagine if human life expectancy was 120, not 80. Scorcese would have 40 more years, an entire career today, to keep producing great films! Obviously the results of this research will come too late for him, but perhaps not for younger people who are also great talents. The most influential environmentalist of all time, James Lovelock, died last year at 103 after six months of ill health. I read a book of his in the 90s and looked at the back page. I saw a 70-year-old man. Well, that man just kept living, contributing to environmentalism, and wrote his last book at 100, after which he retired lol. I was 14 or so when I read the book. I was 43 when he passed. He just...kept living. Maybe Scorcese will get lucky and live another ten years in good health, and give us a few more movies. He wouldn't be the first. Ridley Scott is 85, and just directed what looks like an epic to rival Gladiator, Napoleon. One can hope.

Much appreciated!

omg thanks! 🙏

I wonder if he can name one film directed by a woman that he considers worthy? I don't disagree with this lis of film, but there are other voices that need to be heard.

Thanks bruh!

You forgot Eisenstein

With no successor

His legacy is cemented wherever he goes after this life it will be a good place ❤

@@hoze1235 he's got successor. It's his films. It's gonna carry his legacy forever.

We lost William Friedkin last month as part of the New Hollywood era. Spielberg, Scorsese, Coppola are our last hope in that era. George Lucas has retired from filmmaking, De Palma? Well he ain't productive these days

@@Bjork4s with all the corporations taking control, tv shows are our last hope

Yes it is. I hope they make a video with him soon instead of Scorsese.

@@paulgreengod Scorsese better than whoever you have in mind trust me lol

@@troybracy2915 maybe in lala land he is. Not in the real world. Go watch that steaming pile The Irishman if you're all out of sleeping pills.

@@paulgreengod Oh yea your an idiot he only make movies for intelligent people 🤣

@@paulgreengod Not everyone has a short attention span.

Diary of a Country Priest, 1951 - Bresson (The last film he mentions)

you are legend

Yeah, for me it was his "A Personal Journey Through American Cinema." It was like taking a college film course. I have a list of all the movies he discussed in that documentary & I've gone out of my way to watch as many as I could (as of today: I've seen about 95% of the list). The only ones I haven't seen are the ones that are impossible to find: a few of the silent movies and a western he talks about called SILVER LODE.

@@lynnturman8157 Yeah, same one! Full title is A Century of Cinema: A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies. You're right it's more often known by the Personal Journey title. It was first released in 1995 for the BFI to commemorate the event, but didn't see it till 2000 in the states so it would make sense they'd drop the Century part. I also have seen about 90%+ of the ones he mentions.

He died creatively in 1991. Has not made a good movie in 33 years. He is old and no longer makes good films

@@opticscolossalandepicvideo4879 it's called changing according to times. You can't make movies like you did in the 70s & 80s Are you that naive???smh Name one director who is still relevant from that era. The fact that he has fans across three to four generations speaks volumes about his creativity

@@opticscolossalandepicvideo4879 I guess you haven’t seen casino, gangs of New York, the aviator, the departed, shutter island, the wolf of Wall Street and any other film he did after 1991

Had to finish Irish man in two days But never felt boring

@@hoze1235 Really? You're not the one who doesn't find boring to watch The Irishman

The only problem I had with The Irishman was that I didn't think the de-aging scenes worked very well. The main reason is because when they portray a young De Niro he still moves like an old man, which ruined my suspension of disbelief a bit. It didn't ruin the movie for me though.

True there's several stories on the Old Testament that need to be told as well besides Jesus and Moses.

@@Thespeedrap What would you tell from the testament?

@@Luke_E_Babyy Gideon and his 300 men, Jephthah sacrificed of his daughter, Elijah's ascension into heaven Elisha leading the blind soldiers and The angel who attacked the soldiers at night.

@@Luke_E_Babyy For sure all the Kings of Israel from David to Hezekiah.

@@Thespeedrap Do you like A Serious Man?

Totally. Scorsese's films absolutely reward multiple viewings.

Funny opinion 😄

all time

he's already over 80. What do you expect?

I think Orson was more daring and inventive as a filmmaker. He's the greatest American filmmaker in my opinion, and that's only a fraction of Orson's genius and greatness.

I’d say even more so because, unfortunately, many modern filmgoers don’t know the films of Hawks or Ford 😕 Scorsese is so popular and has been around so long that he’s become a part of film culture. Thanks to him, I was introduced to Hawks and Ford and so many other great filmmakers and films. “A personal journey with Martin Scorsese through American movies” (1995) is an amazing way to gain exposure to more classic American films.

@@Alexj_movieguy Glad to know you are enjoying watching Ford and Hawks films.. Classic films never let you down 👍

Certainly one of the greatest. But I'd place Kubrick, Kurasawa and some others ahead of him.

@@DanLyndon I'd agree that it could be argued that he's the best American film director of our age (late 20th -early 21st centuries). I personally think that's the case. But yeah, it's probably too much to stack him against other filmmakers around the globe, across more than a century.

Was he crying due to Bresson or the film? Like did I miss something??

@@YomsterFUT13 😊 I don't think he was crying - he was saying how he didn't even get to talk about it..he clearly had quite a list and pretty passionate about film as an audience member too.. I bet he would have talked about soooo many

There is a documentary called "A Personal Journey With Martin Scorsese Through American Movies" I would recommend, but it is only three hours and forty five minutes long.

@SlickNik94 oh yes, that one is fantastic!

This mini paragraph is sensational btw like After Hours is probs in the middle for me in terms of Scorsese’s works BUT it’s the one I always go back to for the commentary as if someone like Scorsese who is imo the greatest man to hold a camera can go through so much in the early 80s post King of Comedy (which is actually my favourite Scorsese Film) and go through doubts while then bouncing back - gives us all hope. Imma rewatch it B4 KOTFM and so it will probs hit more for me emotionally looking at it from a “career saving” lense tbh.

@@YomsterFUT13 Thank you for the lovely words. I have a close connection with Scorsese (not familial or professional...yet). We are both New Yorkers, we both grew up in NY during very trying decades. I grew up in the early 00s and saw the tension/angst following 9/ll (I still smell that smoke-- can still taste that ash on my tongue). KoC is a wonderful choice and like "After Hours" seems to be a film out of place in Scorsese's grand filmography. My favorite is "Taxi Driver". I call Travis Bickle "Cinema's Great Deceiver". Along the words of DiCaprio who spoke highly of the film... TB in TD evokes a sense of familiarity. We know him-- he's like the guy who lives down the block, like my uncle, like my friend... like me. And we follow his attempts to be social and he does a decent job of it. That gives us hope in our own lives. Then he "betrays" us. He leaves us confused and angry-- angry at him... at ourselves. Is this who we become if we... break? I love that you chose Marty as the GOAT. What he does better then anybody else is "humanize these seemingly larger than life characters". We then know them better, know their lives/work better, and our perception of them will improve the more attached we are to them (regardless of their morals). We pick a side in society just by how we feel about his characters. The characters he envisioned... that he saw growing up. It is a personal story about us through his own personal stories. Marty's genius comes from the way he showcases elegance through life's simplicities.

Watched goodfellas so many times
