It's so nice to watch two people discuss film intelligently. If Scorsese were to mention Jacques Tourneur, or even Laura to most interviewers, they would simply look at him with that glazed look and pretend to understand. And they certainly wouldn't be able to draw their own references, like Vertigo. It's a shame that the average person doesn't understand the importance of film history like these two do.
i love all of his films but shutter island, it copy's kubricks style way too much and the end twist was shit in my opinion, its not original if you ask me.
@williamreinsch I think it has that sense of foreboding from Kubrick, but it's rooted in German expressionism and some French grand guignol, like some of Kubrick (Shining, Clockwork Orange). The style's surreal/expressionistic. It's not a great movie, but it's fun and I'd take it over a lot of other movies; it reminded me of Scorcese''s Cape Fear.
@williamreinsch you dont get the film, and always it will be something similar in one movie with other but in this case with a Kubrick film???...., the twist at the end is not for a WTF reaction, we are basically teddy eyes, his point of view, there are many clues along the way for he to "wake up" and back to reality.
Scorsese is already one, but after he retires or passes (likely as his cinematic passion is never ending), there will be no denying his impact on both the preservation and appreciation of classic cinema as well as leaving his own touch with more than a few films that define our generations, humanity, society and culture. He's proven to have more than a few tricks in his hat, and probably has more in store for us... like his venture in 3D with Hugo Cabret next year!
Coppola is still a great director, but the people seems that they don't want to watch his new movies. I couldn't watch both of them because I don't have money to buy the DVD's, because I don't live in United States I wasn't born there, so what can I do? Oh, I love to watch them (Coppola and Scorsese) movies... ehehe They're a kind of Pai Mei, you know?!
@Silverwire100 sidney lumet? copolla? and honestly i feel aronofsky is coming close his camera work is brilliant, as well as edgar wright who are both apart of the new generation, but sidney lumet is old school he is just as great as scorsese
@jonsamuthafucka aronofsky, fincher and pt anderson are the future of cinema! i think pt anderson has made better camera work thant aronofsky who is also great one!
@Gaston088able I agree with you. PT Anderson is a very promising American film auteur. Although he's rather young, his films are very mature. Fincher's movies are sometimes a miss or hit, same thing for Aronofsky. While Scorcese, he's now overrated. His early films are classics, his recent ones are unoriginal, contrived and yes overrated. He simply tries to copycat the masters he admires.
@DoctorHello I don't think I agree with that statement "he's now overrated". It's true that some of his more recent films probably don't have that trademark Scorsese feel but I think his filmmaking style has simply evolved into a more subtle form. I do not think it is an understatement to say that he is one of the best living directors around. I have to agree with you about PTA though. In my personal opinion he is the best young dircter around.The master cannot come out soon enough.
Was Angel Heart taken into consideration at all in the making of Shutter Island?

The shot of Scorsese had an interesting composition to it the way that the interviewer was shown out of focus in the mirror of the background.

@jonsamuthafucka
I like Sidney Lumet the best of the directors you mentioned. And then Coppola. And then Scorsese.
I said "Scorsese is one of the few living great directors". I didn't say he was the ONLY great director.
I'd also include Oliver Stone, Steven Spielberg, Woody Allen, and P.T. Anderson.
I don't think there are any new great directors under 30 at the moment.
And there aren't any living great foreign directors that compare to those who came before.
