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 wouldn't say Scorsese is lucky to have her, because she herself admitted she learnt almost everything about editing from Scorsese. They gel with each other, and are comfy collaborating together. Then again, she does the actual work and is one of the humblest people I've ever seen.
You know it's a scorsese film if its rewatch value is infinite. I cant tell you how many times I've watched goodfellas, casino, raging bull, the depAhTed, wolf of wallstreettaxi driver, mean streets, all amazing.
I love films like that too. Even though films like Marvel are more beloved because it's for a more broader audience, I prefer films more complexities like deeper story and subtext. I've lost interest in blockbusters.
That’s how I felt about the Irishman. After first viewing I’m like this is a good movie I like it but after second viewing I was like omg this is one of the greatest movies of all time
And strong use of high contrast lighting, saturated colour, ultra-fast editing, ultra fast camera moves, low camera angles, expressionistic sound, luxury consumer products, clumsy and incompetent ethnic and female stereotypes, women as objects rather than people, fetishisation of the military but distrust of government, everyone angry all the time, characters commenting on exactly what’s being depicted, helicopters at sunset, mixed camera media, and long long runtimes.
New York Italian Catholic vs Southern California suburban Jewish. As a Northern California suburban-raised Jewish guy I recognize Spielberg's perspective as basically my mom's. I find Scorcese more interesting maybe because it's so different from what I recognize, or maybe because what I recognize is just inherently more boring.
Ironically, Steven Spielberg was supposed to direct Cape Fear and Scorsese was supposed to direct Schindler's List but both switched movies because Scorsese felt only a Jewish filmmaker can make Schindler's List and that ended up being Spielberg with Scorsese go on to make Cape Fear
Hey girls! Since Anna Karina has passed away, can you do a video on how the French New Wave changed the course of cinema forever? I know that there are countless videos explaining it but I always wanted to see your take on it.
This video was awesome but his cameo in Taxi Driver wasn't his initial decision. The actor that was supposed to play the deranged passenger didn't show up the day they filmed this so Scorsese decided he was going to play the role.
None of them are in The Age of Innocence, Bringing Out The Dead, Silence, Kundun, Boxcar Bertha, After Hours & The Color of Money.

@@notmytruthTHEtruth the fact that you had to dig that deep into his filmography to contest this obvious fact is a statement all in itself. His cast selection is completely redundant, and not a single movie you listed is EVER mentioned among his better movies.
Actually that's not true. I've seen Silence and The Color of Money counted among his best, and I've seen Bringing Out the Dead consistently named for individual parts of the filmmaking. Silence is actually in my top two Scorcese films, which are both obviously in my all-time favorites
I love this series! Could you please do a "You know it Alfred Hitchcock if" video? 🖤 I would love to see your take since you talked about Alfred Hitchcock's blondes in past videos.
One of my favourite videos to date. This really taps into Scorsese’s philosophy as a cinematic presence. This will definitely influence my film course, thank you @TheTake
Scorsese did make a film about a woman. It was a very long time ago but it exists. It is called: "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974)". Also why is he not allowed to make male-centric films? It also needs to be explored.
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
You forgot to mention his characters tend to be figures exiled from paradise which is why they tend to take a path of self destruction. I'd love to see your Take on The Irishman rich historical background. Thanx, girls, great as always.
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!
14:00 when joe pesci makes that face and gesture I swear he reminds me of Jonah Hill in Wolf of Wallstreet. Maybe Jonah used him a bit for inspiration.
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.
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.
I believe Scorsese's film Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore stars Ellen Burstyn as a single mother came out after Mean Streets, I wonder if Meryl Streep is aware that that movie exists lol
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.
We'll could see "You know it's Edgar Wright IF" and You know it's Damien Chazelle IF" someday? I love this kind of videos and I will love if your back with this guys, just a tip of a fan of your content 😁
@Mad Media First of all, the way you wrote that came off quite rude and snobby. Secondly, like you said, it's an opinion. I look at Mangold's filmmaking skills in a different light to you. If you really want to know my top 10, it goes as follows: 1. James Mangold 2. Denis Villeneuve 3. Christopher Nolan 4. Alfonso Cuarón 5. Alejandro González Iñárritu 6. Steve McQueen 7. Francis Ford Coppola 8. John Krasinski 9. George Stevens 10. Stanley Kubrick
@@IwanAWESOMEstuff I think I like you. A lot of names on your list is also on mine. They're directors with diverse body of work and which I want to emulate one day!
@Mad Media It's the fact that came off condescending, not pompous. Theirs having a disagreement and then their is being totally rude. I'm fine with you disagreeing with me, but you came off rude due to said disagreement. It's not about having a thicker skin, it's about being calm, collected and not rude.
This video made me realize 2 things: 1. Scorsese is a genius more than I ever thought (and I thought he was one of the most intelligent American directors out there) 2. Todd Philips combined ALL these things in Joker without copying but making these things his. (I’m Italian, sorry my English)
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.
It’s not a Neil Breen film without younger hot women for wives, computers, evil corporate bad guys, government hacking, super intelligent capabilities, cheap low budget production, lengthy voice overs and exposing more corporate crimes.
I am so glad to have found this channel. A female perspective on cinema. you have a fresh perspective . And the comment sections are so wholesome in your videos.
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
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...
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.
Yeah I'd choose these films over marvel any day. not that I don't like a rewatch of good old winter soldier, it's just that every thing else isn't as good and at times not even very good at all.
"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.
Ive always wondered this, i might be an idiot. i know he appears in the cab later on in the film. But, when Betsy is first seen during the film, is that Scorsese sitting by the wall, with the beard and black shirt?
Defintely one his more underrated movies but he stated that his real feminist film was Taxi Driver I would like to know what do yojvthknk of that statement
I’m not sure where the feminism comes in in Taxi Driver. There are only two women and one is a teen prostitute and the other a cipher about whom we learn very little. Interestingly re Alice, he admitted to Ellen Burstin that he didn’t know how to make a woman’ a film and she said “I’ll show you”.
Right?! That film is not even mentioned in this video, other than a second for a music score. Too bad, thats my favorite film he made and with a strong female lead... Thank you Ellen Burstyn
Wayyyy off about Ace Rothstein in Casino. He’s insecure and old fashioned - sure - but he’s actually somehow the morally superior one. Ginger was always awful and got worse by mostly her own doing. It’s fucked up that you painted her as a victim.
OK, while I respect Scorsese’s work, can we talk about his critique of the MCU. While I understand it’s not like cinema of old, it’s still art and it still has had a great impact on the medium of film.
Marvel movies aren’t art. It can be a good film without being art. Can there be a marvel movie that can be considered art? Of course. But the movies out right now just aren’t there yet. That’s just my take on it.
@@burnbabyburneternally then by your definition nothing is true art. Even tho by definition everything created is art. Because art is just the medium to express creativity. Art isnt some higher level of anything. All movies are art. All pictures is art. All music is art. Theres better art of course but art is literally just a medium. A useless word that people pretend is more than it is. Socrese only said that marvel is art so he could get media coverage for his new movie on netflix (another thing he says is terrible but hey money)
Franchising is not an influence on the artistic aspect of films but rather the business aspect, long term story telling or superheroes existed way way before marvel. Scorcese was absolutely correct in his criticism, marvel movies are art same way canned noodles are cuisine.
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.
@@kaitlnwhite6809 Entertainment gives people definitive answers about the human condition, art raises questions and makes people think about what their own answers would be, lets the audience think critically about the human condition. Marvel movies are closed books and end when the credits roll. Scorsese's films will continue on in the audience's act of processing the questions raised during the film.

your worst nightmare movies are made in the editing room. A great editor can do anything
Basically Scorsese abused her a took all of the credit. You think we'd even know his name if it wasn't for patriarchy?
@@LLlap you're kidding right? Please be kidding
It's a Scorsese film if there's De Niro, or DiCaprio.
Lol exactly what I was thinking
Clorox Bleach several about 5 to 7
6*
Can't really say because by that, every film they are in is a Scorsese film
Killers of the flower Moon is a Scorsese film because it has deniro and decaprio
You know it’s a Martin Scorsese movie if
It’s already one of the best films ever in the first half hour.
Indeed, every Scorsese production is impressive from the opening minutes alone!🙌😊
AMEN
You know it's a scorsese film if its rewatch value is infinite. I cant tell you how many times I've watched goodfellas, casino, raging bull, the depAhTed, wolf of wallstreettaxi driver, mean streets, all amazing.
@@Appathetic_Substance_Abuse true dat lol those never get old
@@Appathetic_Substance_Abuse accurate af 😂
You know its a Scorsese movie when Joe Pesci says something anti-semitic.
Taha Kamran anti Semitic how? I mean what’s anti Semitic about it
What did he say in the Irishman?
@@mohamedashian604 "ya know just how ya call out those Jews"
@@mohamedashian604watch casino and come back lol
You know it’s a Scorsese movie if it has Robert DeNiro saying “whats the matter with you?”
Every Scorcese movie is an art. It takes a little time to understand but when you understand it , it feels like you found treasure.
I love films like that too. Even though films like Marvel are more beloved because it's for a more broader audience, I prefer films more complexities like deeper story and subtext.
I've lost interest in blockbusters.
That’s how I felt about the Irishman. After first viewing I’m like this is a good movie I like it but after second viewing I was like omg this is one of the greatest movies of all time
All movies are art.
@Nic Rock In it's way, yes.
While I was watching the Irishman, I was sooo bored. But after waking up the next morning, all I could think about were the subtleties of the filming!
now i'm just overwhelmed with the number of films i haven't seen yet and the amount of stuff i don't know
It never ends jodie
Still better than nothing
Then you realize, amazing animes exist
@@canti7951 You can be overwhelmed by the amount of good anime alone lmao
It’s not a Michael Bay film without CGI, explosions, a scantily clothed female, and more explosions.
and patriotism military fetishism along with some heavy orange blue filters
And strong use of high contrast lighting, saturated colour, ultra-fast editing, ultra fast camera moves, low camera angles, expressionistic sound, luxury consumer products, clumsy and incompetent ethnic and female stereotypes, women as objects rather than people, fetishisation of the military but distrust of government, everyone angry all the time, characters commenting on exactly what’s being depicted, helicopters at sunset, mixed camera media, and long long runtimes.
Also cars. Lots of roaring cars
How can yall miss unnecessary sun flares???
A sweaty dude and a black guy as comic relief
Scorsese, De Niro, Pacino, Pesci and Schoonmaker are all walks into a bar
and then the Scottish guy says "I'll have a beer"
And then someone dies......brutally
And then they kick Michael Bay out
And a Masterpiece is born
And then somebody gets way too offended by someone calling them a "jerk-off."
I just realized Scorsese is playing the creep that stares at Betsy
me too!
why creep??
@@maramiranello well assumuming that he is the same character in both scenes, then he's clearly a creeper
My theory is that Betsy is his wife.
You know it's a Martin Scorsese movie when half the tough guys are kinda old and look like New Jersey port authority officials.
Martin Scorcese is basically Steven Spielberg's darker twin brother when it comes to storytelling and filmmaking
New York Italian Catholic vs Southern California suburban Jewish. As a Northern California suburban-raised Jewish guy I recognize Spielberg's perspective as basically my mom's. I find Scorcese more interesting maybe because it's so different from what I recognize, or maybe because what I recognize is just inherently more boring.
What a silly thing to say.
They're not even in the same league.
Ironically, Steven Spielberg was supposed to direct Cape Fear and Scorsese was supposed to direct Schindler's List but both switched movies because Scorsese felt only a Jewish filmmaker can make Schindler's List and that ended up being Spielberg with Scorsese go on to make Cape Fear
nah, I would consider Schindlers list and Saving private Ryan to be more mature than anything Scorcese has popped out

You know it's Scorsese when you enjoy the movie so much!
The similarities in the title sequences of Casino and Vertigo are also because they were designed by the same man: Saul Bass
Martin Scorsese is the master of cinema now that Kubrick is dead and I think Kubrick wouldn't want anyone else to take his title
Kubrick would be proud of Scorsese for sure
@@Thespeedrap yes he would Especially knowing how much he loves and cares for filmmaking and his love for and the preserving of the films of the past

I’m not sure where the feminism comes in in Taxi Driver. There are only two women and one is a teen prostitute and the other a cipher about whom we learn very little. Interestingly re Alice, he admitted to Ellen Burstin that he didn’t know how to make a woman’ a film and she said “I’ll show you”.
Right?! That film is not even mentioned in this video, other than a second for a music score. Too bad, thats my favorite film he made and with a strong female lead... Thank you Ellen Burstyn
@@vanessaheine8093 Taxi Driver is a critique of toxic masculinity. Therefore, it is a feminist film.
At 1:58 young Martin can be seen eyeing the blonde
this was great! Please do this on Christopher Nolan too.
"Alice doesn't live here anymore" Mrs. Streep
Love him. The greatest director in my eyes!
Have you ever thought of making a video about David Fincher?
You talking to me? You talking to me? Then who the hell are you talking too?
Woody Allen has such a distint Style that deserves a you it's him/her episode
Wayyyy off about Ace Rothstein in Casino. He’s insecure and old fashioned - sure - but he’s actually somehow the morally superior one. Ginger was always awful and got worse by mostly her own doing. It’s fucked up that you painted her as a victim.
Please make one for Edgar Wright
OK, while I respect Scorsese’s work, can we talk about his critique of the MCU. While I understand it’s not like cinema of old, it’s still art and it still has had a great impact on the medium of film.
Marvel movies aren’t art. It can be a good film without being art.
Can there be a marvel movie that can be considered art? Of course. But the movies out right now just aren’t there yet.
That’s just my take on it.
@@burnbabyburneternally then by your definition nothing is true art. Even tho by definition everything created is art. Because art is just the medium to express creativity. Art isnt some higher level of anything. All movies are art. All pictures is art. All music is art. Theres better art of course but art is literally just a medium. A useless word that people pretend is more than it is. Socrese only said that marvel is art so he could get media coverage for his new movie on netflix (another thing he says is terrible but hey money)
Franchising is not an influence on the artistic aspect of films but rather the business aspect, long term story telling or superheroes existed way way before marvel.
Scorcese was absolutely correct in his criticism, marvel movies are art same way canned noodles are cuisine.
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.
@@kaitlnwhite6809 Entertainment gives people definitive answers about the human condition, art raises questions and makes people think about what their own answers would be, lets the audience think critically about the human condition. Marvel movies are closed books and end when the credits roll. Scorsese's films will continue on in the audience's act of processing the questions raised during the film.
In regards to Meryl Streep's comment, Scorsese DID make a film with a central woman character, look up "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore."
What about Nancy Meyers?
Can you do one for Wes Anderson too, please?
i think they already did one for wes 🤷
Please do one for Richard Linklater
Thanks for being a helpful resource for a young 20 something trying to teach himself film. 😃
Please, please, please just watch the movies yourself and try to not let these people spoil them for you.
Please do character studies on the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Mean Girls
Scorcese has a movie which breaks all his rules. 'The Silence'.
5:34 in slow motion You can see a young scorssese covering his face
can we talk about alice doesn’t live here anymore i feel like we should talk about alice doesn’t live here anymore
You know it's a Von Trier film IF...
"Unlikable protagonist"
Bruh Travis Bickle is the most relatable and understandable protagonist in any story.
understandable doesn't mean likeable
@@yuritardid7761 for you.
SOO GOOD
