What is your favorite Scorsese film and why is it Taxi Driver?
Hugo because ChloeNah but seriously Taxi Driver cause aesthetics
>>64435152
Aesthetic, acting, meaningful story, Taxi Driver has it all
>>64434526
The king of the comedy
>>64434526
Because Travis Bickle is me.
>>64435194
Don't remember was shitdrunk when I watched it. Only remember that scene where the Scorpion drives through the night and the traffic lights shine his car in different colors
The Departed is rad af and The Wolf of Wall Street is hella f*cking epic!
>>64435194
>DUDE LISTEN TO THIS VOICEOVER CUZ I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO EXPRESS CINEMATICALLY THIS FAGGOT'S FEELINGS LMAO
>>64435505
the WHOLE point of Taxi Driver was putting you inside Bickle's head. Hearing his thought process was necessary.
Raging Bull because of everything.
Of course me being italian kinda conditions me in the matter, if else I'd probably say Casino.
Because I hate women tbqhwyf
>>64435628
It's a movie. It should put me in his head by visual means.
>>64434526
After Hours
>>64436203
That doesn't make sense. The point was to hear the thought process of a sociopath and get his world view. He was by himself most of the time so you needed voiceover. How did you expect Scorsese to do it? Just facial expressions? Sometimes you need a first person perspective, like in a novel.
>>64436269
After Hours is basically Scorsese's Harold and Kumar
Underrated flick
>>64436281
I'll fucking read a novel than if I wanted that.
>>64434526
>watching Jew-made films
>>64436473
So by your definition all movies with voiceover suck? Even Goodfellas and Fight Club?
>>64436514
Marty is Italian you twit
>>64436542
>watching Wop-made films
Raging Bull tbqh. Taxi Driver is for edgy spergs.
>>64436624
How is Taxi Driver for edgy people? It isn't condoning the actions of Travis, he's clearly a sociopath.
Goodfellas because this

>>64436676
Most people who claim to like it don't really get the movie.
I enjoyed Raging Bull more, though i won't hold it against anyone if they like Taxi Driver more.Goodfellas is overrated though
>>64436320
It does have Cheech and Chong, so kind of, yeah
>>64436676
>he's clearly a sociopath.
No he isn't.
>>64434526
The King of Comedy
>>64436676
See what I mean?>>64436812
>>64434526
>>64436762
So it's like the fight club fanbase? Because I know Marty didn't promote Travis' actions, he just wanted to put us inside the mind of a killer, sorta like Elliot Rodger (i know elliot wasn't around but it's similar)
>>64436812
well maybe sociopath is the wrong word but he was a cold blooded killer
>>64436542
I hate Goodfellas and FC, and not mainly because of the voice-over. The only time I liked a voice-over in a movie was in Adaptation and NCFOM.
>>64434526
>why is it Taxi Driver?
because loli
HONORABLE MENTION
>>64434526
Goodfellas. Fuck Taxi Driver!
>>64436880
You shouldn't just throw words around like that. Sociopath has a very real and specific definition and it's definitely not interchangable with a 'cold-blooded killer.'

>>64436857
You're just a dickhead.
>>64437060
Taxi Driver is his most meaningful film
Goodfellas is his most entertaining imo
Is there a director who's body of work encapsulates masculinity more totally and masterfully than Scorsese?
>>64437189
Probably not
He looked at it from all angles and its effects on people and society at large
I actually sorta want him to make movies starring women to see if he can look at feminine people with the same level of analysis
>>64437189
None of his characters are gay so no.
>>64437189
The director of this series comes close.
>>64437319
There were gay guys in After Hours but they were minor
The correct choice is either King of Comedy or Raging Bull.
>>64437578
Why do people love King of Comedy so much? I thought it was interesting and all and it still had that base level Scorsese quality, but I wouldn't put it up there with Raging Bull or Goodfellas
>>64434526
Shark Tale
>>64437636
>One of De Niro's best performances, Scorsese's favorite performance he gave him, one of the best comedic performances of all time
>Brilliant commentary on celebrity culture
>One of the best portrayals of delusion and dangerous fantasy ever
>Shows isolation and social ineptude just as well as Taxi Driver without glamorizing it
>The balance of humor and subtle horror
>Funny on levels that reward rewatches
>>64438394
Source that Marty said it's his favorite De Niro performance?
