Shout out to the living legend of editing: Thelma Schoonmaker. She is one the best (if not the best) editor in Hollywood. Scorsese is the luckiest director, she’s been the editor of all his films since Raging Bull. Respect to the Queen.

I don't know about Scorsese personally, but I personally never write from the perspective of a woman because I'm a guy. I don't feel like I could do it right. That could be a reason why he's almost never done it? But it doesn't matter because no one else comes close to the way he portrays and explores masculinity in all of its aspects

Most of Scorsese’s films are best viewed as a PSA for teenagers about the dark lessons of LIFE and paths you could go down if you’re not careful. Older people watching his movies for the first time will give a dose of existential crisis or paranoia at best lol!
In film school, we learned about directors like Scorsese. The term to correctly describe them is called auteur. It’s an artist that can easily be identified by their art. As far as directors go, Tarantino and Wes Anderson are great examples of this. My personal favorite auteur is Mel Brooks. But if you like movies, I suggest looking up other auteurs because they’re always fascinating to discover their signature.

I love Scorcese, he was the background to my formative years, the jump from High-School to Young Adult. His rat-pack gangster films are classics but if I had to pick four for me it would be Gangs of New York, Silence, Hugo and New York New York. Silence, so often overlooked is a masterclass in filmmaking and shot composition, depicting inner turmoil, writing, everything. I love it.
Excellet video essay. You forgot to also include that Scorsese movies usually have characters whose pride/ego becomes their downfall. Here are a few examples. 1. Henry Hill thought that he would always have everything under control and Paulie would never find out about his drug deals. 2. Nicky Santoro is too much of a cowboy and started acting reckless. He even sleeps with Ace's wife 3. Bill the butcher underestimated Amsterdam too much 4. Frank Costello thought the state police would never catch up to him and like Nicky started acting reckless 5. Jake Lamotta had too much Machismo and could not contain his rage outside the ring 6. Travis Bickle had a messiah Complex 7. Father Rodriguez likened himself to Jesus Christ and allowed other people to die and suffer for his faith 8. Jordan Belfort had insatiable greed for money and drugs 9. Jimmy Hoffa refused to compromise with the mob, and would not even apologize to Tony Pro for something very petty.
Speaking of cameos, Scorsese is also visible in that scene in Taxi Driver where Cybil enters in slow motion. He's a guy sitting on a stoop in the background looking to the side.
LMAO Meryl Streep wants to be in Scorsese movie so bad
Fantastic video! Best filmmaker of all time for me, up there with the likes of Hitchcock & Kubrick when you consider he's still make films like The Irishman decades after Taxi Driver.
Great analysis. But didn't he do *three* period films (Gangs of New York, Age of Innocence and Silence)?

One of his best, back when he had the confidence to step away from the gangster movies and focus on "emotional" violence. I thought it signaled that he'd grown beyond the mob stuff but alas, I was wrong...
"Not what they say they're about," can apply to just about any movie with dramatic depth. I mean, I love Scorsese, but that's pretty much just a description of the idea of themes.
King of Comedy is a fantastic movie and one of De Niro's best roles. He's more frightening in that movie than in Cape Fear.

I would have loved to seen Leonardo DiCaprio in Goodfellas as Henry Hill. I believe Martin Scorsese would have definitely cast him if he was a little older. He was only 16 unfortunately when the movie Goodfellas had came out and Ray was 36

Sam I Am then by your definition and Scorsese’s what is art? If it’s an expression of the human condition, how exactly does the MCU fail in creating narratives that feel human or tell human stories? The entire Iron Man saga combines post-9/11 anxieties of terrorism, while following an antihero who becomes genuine good man by his death. Black Panther is downright Shakespearean in its portrayal of kingship and discusses the effects of racism and colonialism I’m subjected peoples. Captain America combines a man’s struggle to stay true to his ideals against the entire world, while also tackling our fears of corruptive governments undertaking increasingly authoritarian tasks. How is this not expressing the human condition? If you can’t find the value in this, then maybe your definition of art has too many constraints.
