Shout out to the living legend of editing: Thelma Schoonmaker. She is one the best (if not the best) editor in Hollywood. Scorsese is the luckiest director, she’s been the editor of all his films since Raging Bull. Respect to the Queen.

It's a Scorsese film if there's De Niro, or DiCaprio.

You know it’s a Martin Scorsese movie if It’s already one of the best films ever in the first half hour.

You know it’s a Scorsese movie if it has Robert DeNiro saying “whats the matter with you?”

You know its a Scorsese movie when Joe Pesci says something anti-semitic.

It’s not a Michael Bay film without CGI, explosions, a scantily clothed female, and more explosions.

Every Scorcese movie is an art. It takes a little time to understand but when you understand it , it feels like you found treasure.

Scorsese, De Niro, Pacino, Pesci and Schoonmaker are all walks into a bar

now i'm just overwhelmed with the number of films i haven't seen yet and the amount of stuff i don't know

I just realized Scorsese is playing the creep that stares at Betsy

Martin Scorcese is basically Steven Spielberg's darker twin brother when it comes to storytelling and filmmaking

It's not a Scorsese film without Joe Pesci, Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio or Harvey Keitel in the cast!😉🔫🔪

Hey girls! Since Anna Karina has passed away, can you do a video on how the French New Wave changed the course of cinema forever? I know that there are countless videos explaining it but I always wanted to see your take on it.

You know it's a Martin Scorsese movie when half the tough guys are kinda old and look like New Jersey port authority officials.

This video was awesome but his cameo in Taxi Driver wasn't his initial decision. The actor that was supposed to play the deranged passenger didn't show up the day they filmed this so Scorsese decided he was going to play the role.

When you hear gimme shelter you know it's a Martin Scorsese movie

After the Irishman Scorsese is the greatest director of all time by far the most consistent director ever 5 decades of brilliance

The Raging Casino Wolf Taxi Driver Goodfellas Man. Now that’d be a film.

I love this series! Could you please do a "You know it Alfred Hitchcock if" video? 🖤 I would love to see your take since you talked about Alfred Hitchcock's blondes in past videos.

Scorsese did make a film about a woman. It was a very long time ago but it exists. It is called: "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974)". Also why is he not allowed to make male-centric films? It also needs to be explored.

The similarities in the title sequences of Casino and Vertigo are also because they were designed by the same man: Saul Bass

Pride - Silence Wrath - Taxi Driver Envy - King of Comedy Sloth - Raging Bull Lust - After Hours, Vanity - Cape Fear, Greed - the Wolf of Wall Street

Martin Scorsese is the master of cinema now that Kubrick is dead and I think Kubrick wouldn't want anyone else to take his title

You know it's Scorsese when you enjoy the movie so much!

One of my favourite videos to date. This really taps into Scorsese’s philosophy as a cinematic presence. This will definitely influence my film course, thank you @TheTake

Most of Scorsese’s films are best viewed as a PSA for teenagers about the dark lessons of LIFE and paths you could go down if you’re not careful. Older people watching his movies for the first time will give a dose of existential crisis or paranoia at best lol!

wow this is immensely informative. i am delightedly surprised and glad to have more movie recommendations from this

1:58 note Scorsese leaning against the wall in the background

Excellent work on a world class director. The analysis on this channel are the best in-depth on KZfaq.👍🏻

I love how Leonardo Di Caprio became Scorsese's fave actor with time.

I believe Scorsese's film Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore stars Ellen Burstyn as a single mother came out after Mean Streets, I wonder if Meryl Streep is aware that that movie exists lol

You forgot to mention his characters tend to be figures exiled from paradise which is why they tend to take a path of self destruction. I'd love to see your Take on The Irishman rich historical background. Thanx, girls, great as always.

Glad to see this excellent review. I thought the Irishman was disappointing. But you've reminded me how much amazing work he's done.

This video was absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️🥰

In film school, we learned about directors like Scorsese. The term to correctly describe them is called auteur. It’s an artist that can easily be identified by their art. As far as directors go, Tarantino and Wes Anderson are great examples of this. My personal favorite auteur is Mel Brooks. But if you like movies, I suggest looking up other auteurs because they’re always fascinating to discover their signature.

Excellet video essay. You forgot to also include that Scorsese movies usually have characters whose pride/ego becomes their downfall. Here are a few examples. 1. Henry Hill thought that he would always have everything under control and Paulie would never find out about his drug deals. 2. Nicky Santoro is too much of a cowboy and started acting reckless. He even sleeps with Ace's wife 3. Bill the butcher underestimated Amsterdam too much 4. Frank Costello thought the state police would never catch up to him and like Nicky started acting reckless 5. Jake Lamotta had too much Machismo and could not contain his rage outside the ring 6. Travis Bickle had a messiah Complex 7. Father Rodriguez likened himself to Jesus Christ and allowed other people to die and suffer for his faith 8. Jordan Belfort had insatiable greed for money and drugs 9. Jimmy Hoffa refused to compromise with the mob, and would not even apologize to Tony Pro for something very petty.

Another wonderful video, I really enjoy them!

Speaking of cameos, Scorsese is also visible in that scene in Taxi Driver where Cybil enters in slow motion. He's a guy sitting on a stoop in the background looking to the side.

14:00 when joe pesci makes that face and gesture I swear he reminds me of Jonah Hill in Wolf of Wallstreet. Maybe Jonah used him a bit for inspiration.

I love Scorcese, he was the background to my formative years, the jump from High-School to Young Adult. His rat-pack gangster films are classics but if I had to pick four for me it would be Gangs of New York, Silence, Hugo and New York New York. Silence, so often overlooked is a masterclass in filmmaking and shot composition, depicting inner turmoil, writing, everything. I love it.

LMAO Meryl Streep wants to be in Scorsese movie so bad

This is one of the Best analysis video I have ever Seen Plz make more such videos about filmmakers.

Streep: 'I would like to see Scorsese interested in a Female Character? Alice Hyatt. May Archer and The Countess Olenska aren't interesting?

Well researched. Very insightful .

Do “you know it’s a Michael Haneke film if...”

Very interesting! Well done!

Please do a "You Know It's a James Mangold Film IF..." video essay. He's my favourite director of all-time.

This is superb. Michael Powell had the most inteteresting take on Scorses's cameo in Taxi Driver. He posited that he was,,in fact, The Devil.

If you think about it most of his films are about the 7 deadly sins... Wrath...greed...pride

Can you do “you know it’s a Hitchcock film if”

Please continue this director series.

We'll could see "You know it's Edgar Wright IF" and You know it's Damien Chazelle IF" someday? I love this kind of videos and I will love if your back with this guys, just a tip of a fan of your content 😁

In the clip where Travis sees his blonde goddess for the first time in slow motion...is that Scorsese sitting up against the wall?

GOD this channel is good. Thank you guys!

That shade at Joker

Great analysis. But didn't he do *three* period films (Gangs of New York, Age of Innocence and Silence)?

Fantastic video! Best filmmaker of all time for me, up there with the likes of Hitchcock & Kubrick when you consider he's still make films like The Irishman decades after Taxi Driver.

"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a Goodfeather."

I’ve been saying his name all wrong all this time but now that I look at it it makes sense

I am so glad to have found this channel. A female perspective on cinema. you have a fresh perspective . And the comment sections are so wholesome in your videos.

Love him. The greatest director in my eyes!

Age of Innocence is my favorite movie of his.

"Not what they say they're about," can apply to just about any movie with dramatic depth. I mean, I love Scorsese, but that's pretty much just a description of the idea of themes.

King of Comedy is a fantastic movie and one of De Niro's best roles. He's more frightening in that movie than in Cape Fear.

Yeah I'd choose these films over marvel any day. not that I don't like a rewatch of good old winter soldier, it's just that every thing else isn't as good and at times not even very good at all.

This video made me realize 2 things: 1. Scorsese is a genius more than I ever thought (and I thought he was one of the most intelligent American directors out there) 2. Todd Philips combined ALL these things in Joker without copying but making these things his. (I’m Italian, sorry my English)

Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore is definitely a woman’s picture.

this was great! Please do this on Christopher Nolan too.

I would have loved to seen Leonardo DiCaprio in Goodfellas as Henry Hill. I believe Martin Scorsese would have definitely cast him if he was a little older. He was only 16 unfortunately when the movie Goodfellas had came out and Ray was 36

Btw, you guys make a lot video about "friends" but how about that 70s show

There's a Martin Scorsese ad on Masterclass

Please can you do Walter Hill?

He really has hits for days

Please do “You know it’s a Akira Kurosawa film if”

I thought Wolf of Wall Street was a psa about Quaaludes.

The guy staring at Cybil Shepherd at 1:50 is Martin Scorsese

It’s not a Neil Breen film without younger hot women for wives, computers, evil corporate bad guys, government hacking, super intelligent capabilities, cheap low budget production, lengthy voice overs and exposing more corporate crimes.

Please do one for Richard Linklater

Thanks for being a helpful resource for a young 20 something trying to teach himself film. 😃

Please make one for Edgar Wright

Ive always wondered this, i might be an idiot. i know he appears in the cab later on in the film. But, when Betsy is first seen during the film, is that Scorsese sitting by the wall, with the beard and black shirt?

We want to Perch on Scorsese's Head, - West Side Pigeons, Steven Spielberg's Animaniacs.

Have you ever thought of making a video about David Fincher?

You Know When..? A Light Bulb Flashes!!!

The best to ever do it.

You know it's a Von Trier film IF...

Please do Sergio Leone next

Taxi fucked me up. I got affraid that some day I might become that guy. It woke me up at a young age.

5:34 in slow motion You can see a young scorssese covering his face

Can u do "You Know it's Amy Sherman-Palladino If..."

I love your work💋💋💋💋💋 Thank you

Do this about sergio leone

What about Nancy Meyers?

Woody Allen has such a distint Style that deserves a you it's him/her episode

You talking to me? You talking to me? Then who the hell are you talking too?

"Alice doesn't live here anymore" Mrs. Streep

No Brian De Palma? No Francis Ford Coppola?

Behind every great director is a Thelma Shoonmaker.

At 1:58 young Martin can be seen eyeing the blonde
