The last film I saw was Terry Gilliam's The Fisher King ..
 Some of you will already know that I am a massive fan of this film and that I think it's Gilliam's best. Although I've seen it several times, I make sure a reasonable time has passed between each viewing so that it doesn't get stale. When I saw it again this time, I was once again impressed about how much I like this film. I don't know what it is about the characters in this drama that speaks to me, but they do. Just about all of them! Those who don't know the film or at all know what I'm talking about, well .. watch it if you wanna see a really good fantasy/comedy/drama.

 Well, I dunno how I felt about this one. It had it's plus points, well acted but the believability of it sometimes strayed, but overall it was a decent film. The techniques Scorsese uses when making films is great, the shots he gets, he manages to do things other directors can't. 7/10 for Cape Fear. |

I guess the last scene in Taxi Driver is a good example of his skills. The usual dramatic use of the music, the recurring overlapping shots from opposite angles, the inserts with the mix of formats, the montages, his story telling technique, the rawness of the streets that he excels in portraying... well the list goes on.

 It's Martin Scorsese! I can't dislike anything he does, he's just a visionary, a master at what he does. Even though this didn't really work, if you've seen it - it contains things that are a bit bizarre/cliché, I didn't really like it, but it was okay, the only thing that was wrong was it was the believability.. It was probably a 6/10 which is slightly better than meh/average, but in terms of film making and the shots Scorsese used was great, Hitchcockian techniques. I tend to only watch films I think I'm going to enjoy, usually if it's above 60% on RT or a nice enough score on Metacritic I'll give it a watch. |
