Like WTF is this film? He makes ugly arrogant films about ugly arrogant characters and they are ott and superficial.
Give me back early Scorsese of the likes of
Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore - '74, King Of Comedy - '82, After Hours - '85
and even
Taxi Driver - '76
as repellent as it can seem, it is still a classic and a ground-breaker.

I refused to even see Hugo. The Irishman is maybe the worst film I have ever seen in a movie theater.
But yet, the guy also did Silence. Silence is a Masterpiece.

The film is brilliant. One of Scorsese 's best. Possibly even his greatest achievement. I can't say enough about the film.
Masterpiece. It moved me to tears.

I can't really comment having not seen the film. I dismissed it due to what I perceive as his Catholic anguish he tends to portray within some of his films. It looks self-indulgent.

Well I must confess, it's a love letter to the Christian Faith.
So you most assuredly will not like it.

I can be open minded and Japanese culture can be fascinating.
The Christian faith, especially Catholicism, can leave a lot to be desired. It is a cult and quite a dark faith at that, which is a diabolical paradox considering what it is supposed to represent.

Well. As I have told you many times in the past. I was raised in the Catholic Church.
But my Christian Faith required more. So for over a decade I just say to all that ask, I am a born again Christian.
Which is me saying I have my own issues with the Catholic Church. But never has my faith ever been in doubt. I did take Communion yesterday.
I do volunteer work at a hospice for people dying of Cancer. The Sister asked me if I wanted to take the sacrament. Of course I said yes.
Because I would never refuse the body of Christ. Amen

You haven't told me anything. Do you think that you are that important that posters would recall random parts of your life that rarely discuss with you?
You must be anguished and racked with guilt like Scorsese. Birds of a feather flock together.

Oh well.
Everybody's a critic and can't win 'em all!
I like Shutter Island though as impossible of a scenario that would have been to set all that up.

Taste in film is all subjective.
Shutter Island isn't even an original scenario film, it was filmed by William Peter Blatty in 1980 called
Twinkle Twinkle Killer Kane
aka
The Ninth Configuration
with Stacy Keach. Scorsese makes the film a bit too bombastic.

I don't know anything about Killers and am not sure if I would like it since I think it has to do with some racist violence towards Amer. Indians.
Is that what it's about?
