This guy would be the ultimate mentor for an aspiring filmmaker. So much passion and no hint of cynicism for someone at his level is a gift.

Well he technically mentored Oliver Stone and Spike Lee as he was their teacher

I love the occasional giddy smile he does. You can literally see the passion in his eyes. What an amazing man!

Look at how misty Scorsese's eyes become around 5:50 after he says that a story could be about rain hitting the flower = little details like that, body language, says a lot about the person delivering these words. The passion for cinema and storytelling oozes out of this man. He's a huge inspiration for serious filmmakers.

He also has a great point that this kind of person might be better at painting than moviemaking! I wasn't a great photographer, but my teachers quickly noticed I do have a talent for storytelling. My visual resources dried up, so I turned to writing. People seem to like what I have produced so far :)

I show this video every summer at the film course I teach. Perfect video to inspire young students with filmmaking. Thank you, Mr. Scorsese

Not only one of our greatest filmmakers but also film teacher. His passion for film comes through in pretty much everything he does. This is one of my favorite of his talks. Visual literacy is something that is completely lost in today's culture. The reason that so much shit gets thrown into the movie theater on a weekly basis is because most people won't engage with the images that flash on screen. Why do they move us? What are the intent of these images? So, yeah guess I'm guilty of Scorsese fanboyism :P

Pretty sure all the greats are like this though ... It's not a Scorcese thing. You can't be this good and not be proud and eager to pass something on ... Plus to be this good means that you're pretty much set so that's that as well.

@@alexispapageorgiou72 Scorsese has spent a lot of his own money on his films. In the 1980s he pretty much Strip-filmed. He knows low-budget filmmaking. This I think is prevalent in auteurs. Not writing he is poor by the way. Far from it.

This man is such a great director and person.I really love to listen to him.

just this 10minute video can inspire millions of people. Impressive!

It's refreshing in 2020 to watch a genuinely talented person talk about film.

The facts that at around 8:09 he says that he is working on a film and doesn't even name it or try to do some publicity shows the difference between a lot of the directors from nowadays and the passion and the love he has for cinema. I must say that I'm not quite the expert but I enjoy cinema greatly and hope that one day maybe I will also make even the shortest film ever in the history of mankind would mean the world to me. Listening and watching directors of this caliber and find out about their insight of the industry is just fascinating and will forever my greatest passion/hobby/dream whatever you may call it. Right now I am outside drinking beers and smoking cigarettes and feeling overwhelmed by my career choice and how it might affect me at a personal level. Sorry for all the blabbering and cheers to all the fellow cinephiles out there.

I love how many Scorsese videos are available, you need someone with passion to learn from and he’s got it!

for all you no-budget dslr film makers, an 18mm lens on a super 35 camera (1.4 crop factor) is about a 25mm look. that's a 12.5mm on a micro 4/3.

I’m a photojournalist & I love Martin Scorsese’s descriptions about lenses.

Such an intelligent man with an incredible vision.

10:24 Alan Moore once said the exact same thing about books.

Martin Scorsese...a Master at his craft.. Both theorical and Practical...and such passion...Like the greatest masters of painting during the Italian Renaissance...

It’s crazy how so many of these men became filmmakers just for their absolute love of film. It’s like the films they were watching weren’t made by guys who had some of the best craft but it still turned them into something even better in the 70s and in the 80s, 90s. They are absolute gifted artists, they told stories in a new way, Scorsese one of the greatest of all time. Marty talks and describes it so well

Thank you so much for putting subtitles in this. This guy has such a passion in this art and he teaches me some much.

I love listening to Marty talk. His knowledge of cinema: historically and technically is just so vast and diverse. A true cinematic film making legend, and I'm glad to be around to see his films. Can't wait for Silence and Wolfs of Wall Street.

Last True ancestor of all Film Nerds

I am huge fan of Scorsese since the 80's, and it is always a pleasure to hear his thoughts on anything cinematic. Thanks for uploading.

Thank you for showing us this part!!! And for the film!! ❤

this was a joy to watch

One of my favorite filmmakers

Martin Scorsese is awesome, such an amazing director and really great to listen to

Besides every virtue that can be said about him, he is an elegant man, in his words and in his deeds.

Concerning his last talk about learning while watching: good movies tend to be so good that often you forget to learn and simply watch tem.

He answers questions i have without my asking. Grateful for this interview.

Along with Henri Langlois, one of the most important figures in the history and preservation of film.

What an incredible artist! Hats off!

Thanks for posting this!

I can listen to him all day everyday, So Smart and has a good eye for visual images.

such a great clip, every point really succint and well made

Thank you for the subtitles,be cool!

Ultimate Filmmaker! So Enriching and Deep his way of presenting visual literacy 🙏🙏

Great passion, great talent, and great intelligence all perfectly combined into one man.

This man lives and breathes cinema

The 10 mins that enlightened me. Such a master!

This is Absolutely moving....What a master! genious! Legend! Regards from Argentina!!!!!!!

Wonderful! Visual literacy is important for a Consumer as well to distinct in reality and what filmmaker is depicting. It will help them to realise what's being forced upon them, as we see common in advertisements nowadays.

I wish more people could see this and understand his thoughts.Thanks for sharing

amazing interview!! so powerful this guy is a god of filmmaking

One of the best videos on KZread

Just read a NYT interview in which Scorsese talks about the decline of film history knowledge among film students. It’s publication date? *1997* . This problem has gotten worse, not better. The combination of greater interest in technology than story telling, the disruption of how films are *shown* , and the breakdown of the film canon has created multiple generations who don’t feel they *need* to care about film history in order to succeed. You can look at the state of cinema in the past quarter century to see the results.

What a great orator. I feel like everything he is saying is so important I have to write it down!

He burns with the love of film. I adore him so much

I love his passion and intelligence.

great post

The greatest to ever do it, a true stand up guy; a good fella.

i love his unique beautiful smile

This a great video. But what stands out to me is how Scorsese’s up front about his use of violence and doesn’t shy away from explaining why he uses it the way he uses it in his films. Unlike most zof the interviews I’ve seen (I could be wrong) with Tarantino who tends to be critical of people asking him about it.

He's such a Master! 🖤

More great insight from a master!

Wow! Such an inspiration.

Marty Oh Marty! Fangirl here.

Scorsese and Spielberg are simply the two greatest filmmakers that have ever walked this earth. I know there were a few handfuls of true greats, legends before them but these two have used all the info and techniques from the past greats before them and truly have made filmography’s that are unparalleled to this day.

I'm going to share this with teachers in WV.

snap! there was no tradition of reading in my house either, only in school! I also had asthma for a period of time.

Good point

Awesome video

Yes yes yes! I WISH I had been introduced to visual literacy, these powerful tools to tell stories, in school. Only really discovered these things in adulthood.

Makes me want to go to film school. Legend status.

This guy should be running the world.

What I would give to have just one conversation with this man

Pure genius, great interview with a great man, but 6 people don`t have `Visual Literacy`..

Love listening to Scorsese❤️

Inspiring enthusiasm

Has any other director ever talked publicly on such technical level about films in any platform? I doubt it.

martin scorsese is such a gem

When was this recorded?

amazing

I know what he means about visual literature. I easier for people who think non verbal in pictures - mostly people who do not read a lot rather like to listen to audio books. It’s btw. A great technic to train imagination and camera 🎥 framing, just listen to a audiobook. Steven Spielberg’s thinks in nonverbal thoughts.

The greatest living director.

Brilliant

Maestro

what a beautiful, intellectual, sensitive mind

cool video!:)

In Metz's essay "Problems of Denotation in Feature Film" he tries to find a new vocabulary for the universal syntagmas of film from a linguistic point of view because human language is just too vague and carries too many double meanings to be suited to discuss film. Scorsese talking about visual literacy just reminded me about this. But I do think he's right. Children, especially today, do need to be taught some sort of media proficiency. I feel the impact of the overwhelming flood of media myself and it can be very dangerous if you don't know how to handle it in a healthy and economical way. If they don't learn about that it could go wrong the same way that not teaching children about consent can go very wrong.

I've personally never quite understood why schools emphasise reading play scripts and analysing the staging, setting but never screenplays which arguably hold just as much thematic significance

Do you mean screenplays of actual movies? That's difficult due to copyright laws. Teachers don't have access to any texts they want to use. Mandated curriculum, copyright and cost get in the way.

6:34 the same would be true for something like classical music, haha...you have to learn things from books, etc, from classes, I suppose, about, say, orchestration, 'cause you can't experiment with an orchestra at will (and for some people, like someone I know, even if you could, you probably might not notice everything, etc)...
