Martin Scorsese - Making The Departed

[SteamProVidz]

this isn't a video. misleading.  fuck you asshole.

[SteamProVidz]

@CobainLennon8094 Maybe the guy could label it as a radio interview rather than misleading it as a video. In any case the interview is great, Scorsese is great, but you need to quit trolling me little dude. I am so awesome at Youtube that this dude shadows me and trolls me like a true hater. Go back to stalking people in real life man.

[PrivateAckbar]

What opera did Scorsese mention? I didn't quite catch it.

[inrwizards]

people theres no way scorsese did this for money. he has so much fucking money anyway. hes an artist. he does it because hes interested in the story and the characters. btw, bringing out the dead wasnt really a period piece, was it? it only took place like 10 years b4 they film it. interesting how that can make a difference to the atmosphere

[ChrisSidwick]

Stealing infernal affairs story is a discrace, MONEY MONEY MONEY is bad enough but taking credit for it, pretty shocking, ur just plain greedy Scorsese

[bobb328]

@ChrisSidwick STEALING? Jesus have you ever read Filmmaker magazine? They had the interview of Scorsese with the director and DP of Internal Affairs just about him asking for there permission, the kind of lenses they used, reassuring if it was ok, lighting techniques (which is why the scene when Leo is chasing Damon through the streets doesn't have Hollywood light). Scorsese even took the time to put some symbolism and Catholic icons, if he was greedy I doubt he would've taken the time to do so.

[ZigZagRunner]

i like some of his movies but the rest are too long and just dont hold my interest as others do i really sort of lose interest part way through them. his extreme characters seem to be mostly the same ie gangsters Joe pesci twice as psychotic gangster robert deniro again twice as experienced gangster. Hes made remakes and adapted works from books and has made several documentary type deals. i understand hes adept at camerawork but i believe hes not the best not by a long shot compared to others

[grga888]

@ZigZagRunner You're terribly wrong, extremelly wrong.

[ZigZagRunner]

@grga888 maybe but watch heat or hurt locker or the shining. you don't lose interest in them do you. i stand by my original comment. of course i find biopics semi boring probably just my opinion. but hey i find some of his movies boring, due to length, unoriginal, due to the documentary style and two remakes, his use of actors, and his adaptions of books semi boring and unoriginal. quite overated in my opinion. i mean look at tarantino. an alternative ww2 story he wrote himself

[lydenmarikh]

Ha Ha great response. Actually I'm the owner of a motion capture studio that makes content for film. I wasn't criticizing the fact that people have opinions on film I think that's awesome. I do however think insulting people over their opinions is pretty lame and kinda pathetic ;)

[cantc23]

lol, yeah, it's cool i understand, i just wanted to get in the argument, i believe you though, you definitely do have a point about people insulting people.

[sstanek42]

Hi,

What mocap studio are you an owner of?

[lydenmarikh]

bodymotions motion studio

[lydenmarikh]

Ha Ha these guys need to get a life!

[cantc23]

wow, this coming from the man who actually takes the time out of his own life to type up a jeering pejorative statement on the lack of lives of others. WHO ARE YOU MAN? ARE YOU GOD? BECAUSE IF YOU'RE NOT, THEN I BELIVE YOU HAVE NO RIGHT OR THE NECESSARY PRE-REQUISITES TO BE THE ARBITER ON WHO HAS A LIFE AND WHO DOESN'T!

[ab786]

wts the tune dat cumz beginning of the video

[camper88]

Noir isn't a genre, it's a visual style. Why doesn't Scoresese understand this?

[Hackanut90]

Film Noir is a genre, Scorsese understands this more than you do, it seems

[camper88]

Actually, it's a style, born of German expressionism (another style). Take a look at Mildred Pierce, and you'll find a film that opens and closes in the style of film noir but that is at heart a melodrama (that's a genre). Take a look at Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid and you'll find a film with a noir style that is in comedic genre. Thanks for playing scholar, nice try.

[Meinfus]

Anyone who knows anything about Scorsese knows he's one of the most knowledgeable people alive when it comes to films and I'm more inclined to trust a guy who's been studying films from the moment he came out his mother 66 years ago and making masterpiece after masterpiece for four decades than a pompous film student-sounding disrespectful person such as yourself, camper88. If anyone were to pressure me I'd claim noir was a genre though I know nothing about it, strictly because Scorsese said it.

[camper88]

No one's pressuring you: learn about it. Noir isn't a genre. It's a style. Story types are genres: the western, the musical, the melodrama. the gangster film, etc. There is a style and genre correlation, but it's not absolute. There are noirish westerns and comedies and expressionist musicals, etc.

Not convinced? Fine. Oh, and thanks for the personal attack; I hope you feel better, since it doesn't help your argument: you believe whatever you're told.

Try thinking for yourself.

[Meinfus]

No I'm not convinced because as I said, I trust what Scorsese claims over you. You know, it entered my mind that you would make that "believe whatever you're told" and "think for yourself" point but because I made it so clear that I was simply saying I trusted Scorsese's claims over yours I didn't want to insult your intelligence by presuming you would be so ridiculous.

I have no interest in learning about noir but if someone put a gun to my head I'd say noir was a genre.

[camper88]

So let's recap: 1. you have no real knowledge about the topic. Check. 2. you have no interest in learning about the concept. Check. 3. you think it's ridiculous to think for yourself and not simply believe what someone tells you. Check. And finally, 4. you're convinced that your view on a topic is correct even though you know next-to-nothing about it. Check and mate.

[Meinfus]

Hey! Awesome! We can put words in each others mouths now? Ok, heres my recap: 1. You said you were totally wrong about everything. I win.

Heres the accurate recap of this little conversation: 1. I do not know anything about noir. 2. I do not a give fuck about noir. 3. 1 and 2 have not a sliver of bearing on my argument which is that I trust Scorseses claims over yours. 4. 3 was my ONLY point. 5. You have yet to understand what I was saying and still think this is about what noir is.

[camper88]

Hey genius, it so happens that the comment to which you responded was a comment on the use and meaning of the term "noir."

So does a thread of comments still relate to the original topic? Only if you don't have ADD or some exaggerated sense of self-importance. I don't care if you place faith in Scorsese or your world-class banking system, through ignorance n' apathy your abject faith is sadly misplaced.

But go ahead, stick to your guns. That'll show me just how swift you really are.

[Meinfus]

I don't place any particular "faith" in him. How hard is my point to understand, really? If it mattered I'd look it up. The first few posts were about what noir is but this thread of comments isn't about that and that has no bearing on it.

I think what's happening right now is that you've dug yourself a hole in which you have nothing relevant to say but you're irritated by the fact that you don't have an answer to my point so you refuse to leave.

[camper88]

Now you say:

"I don't place any particular "faith" in him."

Then you said:

"if someone put a gun to my head I'd say noir was a genre."

So you don't place any real "faith" in him, but you'd risk your life on the basis of his opinion? Brilliant.

I guess that's not really having faith, eh genius?

Clearly, you can't understand or represent your own view consistently; don't try to assume what I think or feel because you're out of your depth.

Stick to your one strength: trolling

[Meinfus]

Right, its not placing any particular faith in him. Its that if I were forced to make a choice Id trust him over you. Thank you for finally getting this! I was beginning to think that you were mentally retarded or brain damaged due to your lack of comprehension of this simple point.

You should definitely not argue in the future because you may come across another point which to most people is simple to comprehend but due to your slowness may again lead you to make an idiot out of yourself.

[camper88]

Yeah, and if someone were to put a gun to my head, I'd say that you're an idiot who doesn't think for himself and that you don't know anything about film genres, but that doesn't stop you from putting your head up your ass and blindly placing your faith in someone on a topic where you're totally ignorant. Thanks for playing, scholar.

But, hey, don't stop trolling; it's your singular talent.

[cantc23]

oh my gosh, you practically dug your own grave in on that one :|

[cantc23]

OH this is awesome, i just want to get in for a second; Does any body know what genre Fight Club falls under?

[camper88]

Yeah, well, we don't talk about Fight Club.

That's the first rule.

Psychological drama might serve as a description if you did talk about Fight Club . . . but we're not.

[cantc23]

LOL, psychological drama does make sense, or romantic comedy, or tragi-comedy, but i totally agree with you on the whole noir being a style thing, because Fight Club definetely falls under psychological drama or another one of those genre's, but the style that it is filmed in is definetely some sort of variation of post-modernist pastiche psycho noir, almost reminiscent of Taxi Driver or the Great Gatsby, it even takes some pages out of Tarantino's playbook, So yes my friend, i totallyagreewithu

[WeJustGotColorTV]

Fight Club sucks. Overrated like hell, and that so-called "twist ending" was nothing more than manipulative and stupid. David Fincher knows how to paint a nice picture with the camera, but he hasn't yet dug into the next tier which is making the story as good as the picture.

[cantc23]

i don't know, i guess it depends what you consider a good story.

[cantc23]

you are the man

[mariana1996]

I love this movie. The great actors, the storie and my fav director, everithing it's just amazing. this is my favorite movie without a question. :)

[yuthchack]

[Rollin1989]

Why is everyone going crazy over a remake?

[jackhole91]

wth r u talkin about.

great directors and great actors make a GREAT remake.

like scarface for example

[marchini87]

Scarface us barely a remake i swear, the stories are totally different, don't you think?

[jackhole91]

yes, can't disagree with that.

[ANTICHITASCIPPA]

[co19crazynathanel]

[shazia786]

SCORSESE + BALLHAUS = CLASSIC

[Martinilucky]

Marty is an awsome director!

[hastinks]

[GallagherXXX]
