“I’m old. I read stuff. I see things. I want to tell stories, and there’s no more time."
😢
How heartbreaking it is? 💔💔💔
@@RahulKumar-ng2gh Indeed. It's why I support research into longevity. It sucks that people as amazing as Scorcese spend decades perfecting their craft, and then they get old. And lots of others in many professions have expressed the same sentiment. My parents have said this too. It seems like a cosmic joke. Imagine if human life expectancy was 120, not 80. Scorcese would have 40 more years, an entire career today, to keep producing great films! Obviously the results of this research will come too late for him, but perhaps not for younger people who are also great talents. The most influential environmentalist of all time, James Lovelock, died last year at 103 after six months of ill health. I read a book of his in the 90s and looked at the back page. I saw a 70-year-old man. Well, that man just kept living, contributing to environmentalism, and wrote his last book at 100, after which he retired lol. I was 14 or so when I read the book. I was 43 when he passed. He just...kept living. Maybe Scorcese will get lucky and live another ten years in good health, and give us a few more movies. He wouldn't be the first. Ridley Scott is 85, and just directed what looks like an epic to rival Gladiator, Napoleon. One can hope.
It’s always good to hear the greatest filmmaker of all time talk about movies
Yes it is. I hope they make a video with him soon instead of Scorsese.
@@paulgreengod Scorsese better than whoever you have in mind trust me lol
@@troybracy2915 maybe in lala land he is. Not in the real world. Go watch that steaming pile The Irishman if you're all out of sleeping pills.
@@paulgreengod Oh yea your an idiot he only make movies for intelligent people 🤣
@@paulgreengod Not everyone has a short attention span.
My heart will break when this man leaves this world
With no successor
His legacy is cemented wherever he goes after this life it will be a good place ❤
@@hoze1235 he's got successor. It's his films. It's gonna carry his legacy forever.
We lost William Friedkin last month as part of the New Hollywood era. Spielberg, Scorsese, Coppola are our last hope in that era. George Lucas has retired from filmmaking, De Palma? Well he ain't productive these days
@@BryanCostner with all the corporations taking control, tv shows are our last hope

Much appreciated!
omg thanks! 🙏
I wonder if he can name one film directed by a woman that he considers worthy? I don't disagree with this lis of film, but there are other voices that need to be heard.
Thanks bruh!
You forgot Eisenstein
Scorsese's passion for movies is why we get to see many of the silent movies to this day. If those ghosts knew we were staring at them from the future... It's so amazing to have great art in such a destructive world, seeing beauty survive is what keeps me going each day, keeps me invigorated. No matter how bad things can get, we have proof that love has persisted through it all with great art.
Well said!
Absolutely ive seen a number of films hes mentioned including just rewatching The Red Shoes the other night. I need to Rossellini and the last film he mentioned for sure. Im really excited for Killers Of The Flower Moon i plan to read the book first
I've started watching Ugetsu, and now I understand of the film being important in Japan and Scorsese had a key role in restoring this masterpiece.
People have always been destructive, and things are much better today. Social media only makes us hyper-aware of every shitty thing going on in the world. But 350 years ago, they were fighting a Ukraine and Israel war ALL THE TIME in one place or another. The 30 Years' War killed as many people as WW2, and Poland lost 1/3 of its population and suffered immense destruction at the hands of the Swedes. Also, the British Isles fought the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, and Ireland lost 1/2 of its population to genocidal actions, famine, disease and transportation to the American colonies. The Mongols killed 40 million people in the 1200s, Tamerlane wasted 17 million in the 1300s, and at the same time as he was building pyramids of skulls, the Black Death struck, killing 40% of the population of Eurasia. In Europe, you had the Little Ice Age, which triggered the Great Famine, where one day there wasn't even enough food for the king of England, then the Hundred Years' War, then the Black Death, then recurring bouts of the plague, then peasant revolts. No, things are not worse now. Not even with climate change. They just aren't.
The master of his generation. Long live Mr Scorsese!
This really shows how passionate and knowledgeable Scorsese is about filmmaking, it feels like such a privilege to hear to hear a true master talk about their craft
Listening to Martin talk about movies gives me the desire and passion for the cinema!
I can really sense that he really loves this art form.
You can argue for or against his greatness or ranking among other directors (which I personally think is stupid), but you certainly can't argue with his tremendous passion for cinema and how prolific his filmography is.
Not only is he our greatest living filmmaker, he’s also a walking encyclopedia when it comes to cinema. I could listen to this man speak for hours
One of a kind film brain, and such a way with words... I could hear him talk about films all day ❤
Martin Scorsese is one of the very few people that I wish could have been immortal! The greatest filmmaker of all time!
He died creatively in 1991. Has not made a good movie in 33 years. He is old and no longer makes good films
@@opticscolossalandepicvideo4879 it's called changing according to times. You can't make movies like you did in the 70s & 80s Are you that naive???smh Name one director who is still relevant from that era. The fact that he has fans across three to four generations speaks volumes about his creativity
@@opticscolossalandepicvideo4879 I guess you haven’t seen casino, gangs of New York, the aviator, the departed, shutter island, the wolf of Wall Street and any other film he did after 1991

you are legend
the goat, the goat, the absolute greatest director of our time
Funny opinion 😄
all time
“Why can’t we tell the stories we aren’t supposed to tell?”Exactly!
True there's several stories on the Old Testament that need to be told as well besides Jesus and Moses.
@@Thespeedrap What would you tell from the testament?
@@Luke_E_Babyy Gideon and his 300 men, Jephthah sacrificed of his daughter, Elijah's ascension into heaven Elisha leading the blind soldiers and The angel who attacked the soldiers at night.
@@Luke_E_Babyy For sure all the Kings of Israel from David to Hezekiah.
@@Thespeedrap Do you like A Serious Man?
Scorsese has become a classic director throughout the years whose movies such as, Taxi Driver, Casino or even, The Irishman which was the longest movie I've ever seen, never get old. Moreover, I'm glad he's back to work with Robert De Niro and Leo DiCaprio again for his new movie.
Had to finish Irish man in two days But never felt boring
@@hoze1235 Really? You're not the one who doesn't find boring to watch The Irishman
The only problem I had with The Irishman was that I didn't think the de-aging scenes worked very well. The main reason is because when they portray a young De Niro he still moves like an old man, which ruined my suspension of disbelief a bit. It didn't ruin the movie for me though.
It's impressive how diverse Scorsese's taste in movies. Awesome to see that he championed movies from other countries too
10 minutes of pure gold!
I didn't have to go to film school, because I watched Martin Scorsese's A Century of Cinema, released in the UK via BFI but then broadcast on Turner Classic Movies in 2000. I bought the DVD and the companion book shortly thereafter. I've never seen a more glorious and intuitive look at the Studio System than in this doc, and it shows how his cinematic palette is so amazingly broad. He references about 300 movies and since then I've seen as many films he references as I can and they are amazing. He is surely a Titan of contemporary filmmaking and I hope he lives and mahes movies another 20 years.
Yeah, for me it was his "A Personal Journey Through American Cinema." It was like taking a college film course. I have a list of all the movies he discussed in that documentary & I've gone out of my way to watch as many as I could (as of today: I've seen about 95% of the list). The only ones I haven't seen are the ones that are impossible to find: a few of the silent movies and a western he talks about called SILVER LODE.
@@lynnturman8157 Yeah, same one! Full title is A Century of Cinema: A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies. You're right it's more often known by the Personal Journey title. It was first released in 1995 for the BFI to commemorate the event, but didn't see it till 2000 in the states so it would make sense they'd drop the Century part. I also have seen about 90%+ of the ones he mentions.
Scorsese is Cinema. Love him.
He is so knowledgeable about cinema, what a gift he is truly is.
I remember watching "Goodfellas", for the first time. The movie was so visually stimulating, it drew you into the film, making you feel like one is watching it from the character’s point of view. I read "killers of the flower moon", not long ago and found it a brilliant read. Can't wait to watch this. An amazing filmmaker.
Hands down THE GREATEST director ever.
Certainly one of the greatest. But I'd place Kubrick, Kurasawa and some others ahead of him.
@@DanLyndon I'd agree that it could be argued that he's the best American film director of our age (late 20th -early 21st centuries). I personally think that's the case. But yeah, it's probably too much to stack him against other filmmakers around the globe, across more than a century.
I like listening to him talk about movies more than seeing his movies. His "Personal Journey" documentary was great.
Most definitely if he unfortunately goes, his legacy will truly live on well foe generations to come!
Martin LOOKS so much older than i ever realized, but he TALKS and acts so clearly and so sharply. His mind is still like it's 20 yrs old. Dude is not ready to die in any way. Seems like he should stay alive for another 50 - 60 years. It will be a huge loss when his body fails him.
he's already over 80. What do you expect?
Scorsese’s films are all worth watching for a first impression, but they play even bette upon a second watch. You can see what he was really thinking behind the frame on a second watch, or better yet engage with it in a completely different way emotionally.
Totally. Scorsese's films absolutely reward multiple viewings.
What's with all the postmortem comments? The man just completed a movie. He's doing very well for someone his age. Let's pray to our particular god(s) he gives us at least another half dozen films. When Scorsese is gone, that may be it for intelligent cinema in the United States. That is not a condition I'm looking forward to.
Martin Scorses is a national treasure
I have seen all of the movies which he mentioned here. Believe me He is Genius.
This should be 5 hours long
There is a documentary called "A Personal Journey With Martin Scorsese Through American Movies" I would recommend, but it is only three hours and forty five minutes long.
@SlickNik94 oh yes, that one is fantastic!
I'm very glad he's still in the filmmaking ring. I've always seen Scorsese as a successor to Orson Welles.
I think Orson was more daring and inventive as a filmmaker. He's the greatest American filmmaker in my opinion, and that's only a fraction of Orson's genius and greatness.
Greatest director of all time, dudes an absolute workhorse!
"These 'villians' actually had a lot of good feelings towards their victims. They lived with them, they loved them, but they killed them." This makes me a lot more interested in seeing the movie (not that I wasn't going to watch it anyways).
Hell yeah, Scorsese shouted out Ashes and Diamonds. Love that movie
Great book Looking forward to a great visual representation from a gifted creative with a brilliant body of work Thank you Mr Scorsese 👏
Brilliant man!
Scorsese is a treasure. Could listen to him talk movies for hours
the way he explains stuff is mesmerizing
what an incredible interview
He will be remember as John Ford and Hawks are. One of the best Américan Cinema Directors and I'm really looking forward to seeing his latest film.
I’d say even more so because, unfortunately, many modern filmgoers don’t know the films of Hawks or Ford 😕 Scorsese is so popular and has been around so long that he’s become a part of film culture. Thanks to him, I was introduced to Hawks and Ford and so many other great filmmakers and films. “A personal journey with Martin Scorsese through American movies” (1995) is an amazing way to gain exposure to more classic American films.
@@Alexj_movieguy Glad to know you are enjoying watching Ford and Hawks films.. Classic films never let you down 👍
He's in love with everything movie. And he's so lucid about them.
We are so blessed to be getting a Scorsese film in 2023
its always a treat to listen to the master ❤
Wow. I've not even heard of most of the films and directors he mentions. Love this glimpse into his mind.❤
I would love a book/list of Scorsese’s favorite films.
One of my heroes.
My Biggest Inspiration to be a great director! Thank you so much Martin!
The greatest director alive
Legend. Filmmaking god.
This man's a living legend!
I need a 20 hour long interview of the great Martin Scorsese talking about films he loves
LONG LIFE TO THE GOAT ❤
Aww, that bit at the end ❤ beautiful
Was he crying due to Bresson or the film? Like did I miss something??
@@YomsterFUT13 😊 I don't think he was crying - he was saying how he didn't even get to talk about it..he clearly had quite a list and pretty passionate about film as an audience member too.. I bet he would have talked about soooo many
Scorcese is not only a master film maker , but his knowledge of all kinds of music genres on a world wide scale is quite extraordinary ! The consumate multiple artisan ....
I must watch most of those rare movies refered by Martin. I am a big Kubrick and Kurosawa fan.
As a student of film, I love hearing his comments on technical things in the movies he likes. Now I want to watch these. One day another director will talk about his films like this. Has the guy ever done a bad movie? “King of Comedy” gets criticized all the time but I love it
The GOAT ❤
Living legend of cinema.
You can tell this man truly has a passion for film. Always has had sound opinions on the industry
"Never said into getting political" Funny you say that since The Irishman was heavily a political movie and explores the corruption of politics at that era
LOLOLOL "never strayed into getting political" almost every movie, almost every art is and always was political, including scorsese's films. running away from politics is childish, it just means you are still political, but you support only the status quo
…Kundun is as political as it gets. You mean he never offended you, I guess
A monumental figure and sharp as ever at age 80. This new film will be a major event for everyone who knows That said, what a disservice it is to have used those lousy sources for the clips of the movies he is talking about, all of which by now have gorgeous HD restorations that reveal the beauty of the filmmakers' shots as they were meant to be seen, unlike here where you can't even tell what's happening
Always a joy to hear Martin Scorcese hear to talk about movies (and more). Thanks for sharing.
Eu amo esse homem! ❤
Living legend.
One of the 🐐's
The Legend 👏👏👏
I believe I read somewhere that out of all the films he has made... "After Hours" was his favorite. While it is a wonderful film and quite unlike the Scorsese films we consider "classics", I found it puzzling that he would select THAT film instead of say "Raging Bull" which was made during probably the darkest moments of his professional/personal life and how the reception that film received really gave him a NEW LEASE on life and his career. I kept wondering, "why After Hours"? And then it hit me... (and this is my interpretation) -- he is "Paul Hackett" (mc of After Hours). Marty had one clear goal... tell a story via motion pictures and that singular goal led him to run into various odd characters (De Palma lol), go on various misadventures and fall into what is essentially the rebirth of Western Cinema post the "Red Scare" of the 50s - 60s. "What have I gotten myself into-- I wanted to do one thing", Marty WOULD say something like that. Anyway... that's my take. Thank you for your contributions to the Arts.
This mini paragraph is sensational btw like After Hours is probs in the middle for me in terms of Scorsese’s works BUT it’s the one I always go back to for the commentary as if someone like Scorsese who is imo the greatest man to hold a camera can go through so much in the early 80s post King of Comedy (which is actually my favourite Scorsese Film) and go through doubts while then bouncing back - gives us all hope. Imma rewatch it B4 KOTFM and so it will probs hit more for me emotionally looking at it from a “career saving” lense tbh.
@@YomsterFUT13 Thank you for the lovely words. I have a close connection with Scorsese (not familial or professional...yet). We are both New Yorkers, we both grew up in NY during very trying decades. I grew up in the early 00s and saw the tension/angst following 9/ll (I still smell that smoke-- can still taste that ash on my tongue). KoC is a wonderful choice and like "After Hours" seems to be a film out of place in Scorsese's grand filmography. My favorite is "Taxi Driver". I call Travis Bickle "Cinema's Great Deceiver". Along the words of DiCaprio who spoke highly of the film... TB in TD evokes a sense of familiarity. We know him-- he's like the guy who lives down the block, like my uncle, like my friend... like me. And we follow his attempts to be social and he does a decent job of it. That gives us hope in our own lives. Then he "betrays" us. He leaves us confused and angry-- angry at him... at ourselves. Is this who we become if we... break? I love that you chose Marty as the GOAT. What he does better then anybody else is "humanize these seemingly larger than life characters". We then know them better, know their lives/work better, and our perception of them will improve the more attached we are to them (regardless of their morals). We pick a side in society just by how we feel about his characters. The characters he envisioned... that he saw growing up. It is a personal story about us through his own personal stories. Marty's genius comes from the way he showcases elegance through life's simplicities.
A man of taste, a man of class. Martin Scorsese - has always been someone I admire, respect and look up to.
So good Mr S.Thank You!
Thank you Marty, we owe you so much
I'd like Marty to direct a film about the young Tom Waits.
I LOVE YOU, MARTIN SCORSESE!
It interesting he also praised Barry Lyndon, as apparently, according to self proclaimed "expert", Stephen King, Kubrick took no creative risks when making this film. King thinks he knows more about cinema as an artistic medium than not only Kubrick, but the major directors he has influenced (Scorsese, Coppola, Spielberg etc).
This was great!
Scorsese should take a look at, not necessarily make a film but just look at, Die Verwandlung, or The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. There is a lot of character behind Gregor, his parents and most of all Grete, who has the biggest character arc in the story
Marty always seems so alert and enthusiastic at his age. He seems like an incredible human being. Truly a master of cinema, both in knowledge and execution.
Wow. The genius of Martin Scorsese.
best ever❤
Outstanding content.
Best Director ever
I really wanted to hear something about Lawrence of Arabia (1962), the movie wasn't mentioned but still a wonderful love letter to the gold standard of movies!
GREATEST MOTION PICTURE MAKER EVER
I wish he mentioned some modern classics 😔
Citizen Kane will always has its place in making cinema what is today. Scorcese had a brilliant career any filmmaker would've wished for, he is one of the greatest to ever do it.
Watched goodfellas so many times
it is always an event when a new Scorsese film releases I can't believe The Irishman was 4 years ago! Killers took such a long time to make it to theatres and will definitely be a top 5 movie of 2023
Brilliant!!
This should have been an hour or two long
Scorsese is up there with the greats
A legend in the flesh
THATS MY GOAT!!!
He made some great movies
The legend talks about other legends who inspired him
Two of my uncles were extras as British Redcoats in Barry Lyndon.
More clips like this on KZhead!
A living movie encyclopedia
Welles' The Magnificent Ambersons is amaizing. An so is his Othello.
legend
October 9th is when the magazine is on sale?
I hope Scorsese doesn't retire. He's still should make movies with great stories til he's at least 90 like Spielberg. We love you Marty!🫶
