Sorry Jim, Scorese really is in a elite club with Kubrick, Kurosawa, Ford and so forth.
You called him a “one-trick pony” and couldn’t be more wrong. Hitchcock only made one genre of film. Scorsese has made films on sports, horror, comedy, tragedy, music, history, religion, sex, organized crime and he came out smelling like roses.
Scorsese made the greatest biopic of all time, the greatest pic about isolation and the best pic about the modern day mob.
He has made at least 3 perfect films and maybe more. I can’t think of one director who can make that claim including Welles.
Hey, I just looked this up — I quote: “The reel was edited by journalist-cutter Stephen Garrett and Christy Wilson of Kinetic Trailers . Their recent work includes coming attractions for Thirst , Wendy and Lucy , Gomorrah and Police, Adjective.”
Oops. I appear to be quoting this very article, linked to on another site. I feel SO STUPID. Now we can’t blame Thelma for not including “NY NY.”
Great Article Owen!!! Thank you!!!
Wow, I would have put money that Thelma did the editing. They did a beautiful job using Marty’s music.
I guess that explain’s the Shutter Island plug at the end of the montage.
Nice how they included Marty’s late Mother in the montage. She was very good in all his films.
Totally agree about the exclusion of “New York, New York.” WTF!? “NYNY” is one of Scorsese’s most enduring masterpieces, and certainly deserved place of pride over lesser films like “Bringing Out the Dead,” “Casino,” “Kundun” and, yeah, even the Oscar-winning “Departed.”
LONG LIVE SANDRA BERNHARD! Somebody get that woman a movie, or at the very least a new HBO special.
I enjoy awards show movie montages such as these. As much as I look forward to seeing Shutter Island, it did become too much of an obvious shameless plug there at the end.
Excellent montage, brilliant director! Shutter Island can’t come out soon enough.
I was pleased with Scorcese recognizing the African director, Ousmane Sembene:
