I think it serves as a good commentary.

- ubermonkey 1y agoI finally got around to watching that a year or two ago. That scene is among several that are just remarkable bits of work, but somehow the whole film itself felt like a slog. I feel like that's the problem generally with late career Scorsese. The last of his films that felt consistently interesting and free of flab was, to me, Casino, though he got close for me with The Aviator and The Departed.
- HelloMcFly 1y agoAgreed on TWoWS. Kind of loved every scene in the movie, but actually strongly dislike the movie in full. I also think that despite what seems like an attempt to critique the destructive lifestyle, it does the opposite and glorifies it. Mostly not a fan of his later career work, but I do really like Killers of the Flower Moon and Shutter Island.
- ubermonkey 1y agoI'll be honest and say I never saw Shutter Island in part because I read the book (at one point I was a Lehane fan) and saw the twist coming miles and miles away. I haven't seen KOTFM b/c it's past my Scorsese Endpoint. ;)
- snapcaster 1y agoYeah he loves hiding a 10/10 90 minute movie inside a 3 hour+ slog
