Goodfellas

[@gabrielidusogie9189]

King of Comedy or Raging Bull. Masterpieces

[@reagan4211]

After Hours

[@User-xw6kd]

Greatest eyebrows of all time.

[@anthonygibson5561]

It's like two caterpillars mating.

[@gash7278]

more cinema in those eyebrows than all of the marvel movies combined

[@SpeakNoEvil]

I swear I could listen to him talking about craft all day long. Marty is like a bottomless treasure chest of filmmaking knowledge. Thanks for sharing this so much!

[@Vcosn]

echo this completely

[@chriswright4677]

Came here to say the exact same thing. Scorsese is the absolute master for me.

[@senseimilli]

“For this reason, I think the filmmakers of the future might feel, just as far from me as I do from David Lean-and just as close... this long strange trip..” I LOVE FILMMAKING AND I LOVE MARTIN SCORSESE!

[@TheVengalayakshraaj]

This is a great legendary filmmaker talking about a most important aspect of filmmaking i.e Editing, which no one talks about these days. But this video is full of cuts, and is all over the place. P.S to all those trolls - The job of an editor is not just knowing when to cut, but also to know when not to cut.

[@knurdyob]

the editor was likely forced to cut it down to 40 minutes max, so he really had no choice but have jaring cuts in there

[@lucasa_0485]

Oh yes. Every single movie I watch shows me how important editing is. I didn’t actually realize it up to some time ago, but it is really a tremendous tool, that when used correctly, can literally do anything.

[@BunnyMan456]

Whoever cut this lecture clearly wasn't paying attention.

[@Fendeguard]

For real.

[@j.jmarlon1417]

Lmao right?

[@Biring1]

Why don`t they give us the full thing? It annoys me so much. Especially the one with Fincher.

[@CristianMercadoProductions]

its agonizing lol

[@SergioParrella]

This sounds like the unedited lecture: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIeamWN6f56snNE

[@Shah-of-the-Shinebox]

He is truly the greatest living filmmaker. He is so modest. He is so passionate about preserving films and film history, I wonder if he knows that he is essentially part of film history.

[@65g4]

I think he knows how highly thought of he is. But your right he is very humble

[@mxyzptlk...]

This is a gem.

[@Revolver1981]

When was this recorded?

[@polluteyoursoul]

Uncut?

[@cankuyumcu111]

what a time to be alive

[@gardensofthegods]

I could listen to Martin Scorsese talk and tell stories all the time . They should just make a series where he just talks about whatever he wants .

[@spb7883]

19:21 - the essence of Scorsese’s films at their best, summed up by the man himself.

[@mohammedyoussef6999]

Marty is the father, priest, monk, of Cinema and all related types of art

[@j.jmarlon1417]

The knowledge dripping from this guy............

[@lorileemace8721]

I love The Last Waltz. I cannot believe he took such an interest, but I'll tell you what he capture Joni, and Neil Diamond etc in such a light. The Band...Incredible man filming through his eyes.

[@JoseChavez-rf4ul]

After Hours/ The Age of Innocence The 2 most underrated films of the 80s and 90s respectively.

[@johnnotrealname8168]

What about Bringing out the Dead?

[@JoseChavez-rf4ul]

Hey, you know what? That’s a film that keeps calling out to me. Going to watch that again real soon.

[@johnnotrealname8168]

@@JoseChavez-rf4ul Oh I cannot wait to watch it.

[@johnnotrealname8168]

@Vincent H. Exactly it is just his Gangster stuff. Which I would write is not his best (not to write they are bad or anything they are nigh perfect)!

[@spb7883]

GoodFellas was a blessing and a curse for Scorsese. A blessing because it was not only an ingenious work of art, but - more than any previous Scorsese film - it was VERY popular. So popular in fact that it was really only after GoodFellas that Scorsese was considered a “gangster film” director. Before it, his body of work was generalized as New York set films starring De Niro. Sure, Mean Streets concerned the mafia, but it’s not really *about* the mob the way GoodFellas is. Raging Bull has the mafia in the periphery, and Taxi Driver, King of Comedy, and Color of Money (to take a non-De Niro example) have nothing to do with the mob at all. GoodFellas has been a curse on the other hand because since it was released audiences have seemingly awaited its sequel, which explains why it seems so many Casino fans were disappointed by Irishman. It also explains why the films you mentioned are so underrated. After Hours especially has more to do with Scorsese’s aesthetic than Casino.

[@Blake-zm4eo]

My face lit up when he mentioned Joachim Trier!

[@samuelbarber6177]

29:50 personally, this is the bit I can most relate out of all of this.

[@andrewp.8406]

Greatest filmmaker of all time !

[@Billie0708]

After Stanley Kubrick and Andrei Tarkovsky

[@arvydussibonus1712]

What a gift this talk is.

[@MASACRESPERU2010]

Who are the filmmakers he mentions at 33:47 besides Hogg and Aster?

[@jacksonsmith4545]

Joachim Trier and Cristi Puiu

[@walkermorgan1710]

Scorsese always calls them “pictures” that’s how you know he’s a boss

[@estuardolopez992]

I love BAFTA GURU so much for things like this ❤️✨

[@gabrielidusogie9189]

I'd love to be in that room.

[@hunterhancock2820]

Can someone please make a list of all the films he mentions during this lecture

[@kp9952]

Don't you have a notebook & pen?

[@yusefendure]

So grateful for this video of a complete film master.

[@samwho1731]

I love the fact, not only is he a great -- if not the greatest -- director of our time, he is a student of cinematography.

[@SaiGade-go9wp]

[@JHarder1000]

One of the greatest directors of all time/. Ford Welles Hitchcock Oliviera Tarkovsky Lean Powell Kurosawa Mizoguchi Wajda McCarey (Ys, McCarey.) Ozu, Wilder, Hawks Bresson Welles Renoir Kubrick Ophuls Varda Kieslowski,Sturges Peckinpah, Dreyer,Rosselini-and him.

[@lorileemace8721]

Incredible...I'll cry when he goes.

[@estuardolopez992]

MAESTRO!

[@jib1823]

Daaaaaamn...I wonder what Ari Aster is thinking knowing that Martin Scorsese admires his films (Hereditary and Midsommar). Fucking hell.

[@jim5746]

My favorite Scorsese movie is "Italian American", i could listen to his parents talk all day.

[@HeadBangerExtreme]

Scorsese is a treasure.

[@ericmalone3213]

The scene Scorsese talks about, from John Ford's Two Rode Together, with Jimmy Stewart & Richard Widmark sitting by the river watering their horses and talking: Ford decided to put the camera in the river, so he and the crew were in the middle of the river, and Ford was giving direction to Stewart & Widmark, over the sound of the rushing water. Ford knew that both of them were somewhat hard of hearing, and that both of them wore hair pieces. They couldn't really hear what Ford was saying, but they carried on as if they understood, so as not to arouse Ford's ire. Ford stopped the scene a couple of times, then had them start from the top. Then he called cut again, & gathering his crew around him, said, "I've been in this business for almost 50 years, and here I am, reduced to directing two deaf fucking hair pieces..." Ford had contrived the whole set-up in order to deliver that line.

[@sj4632]

Brilliant guy

[@friend5625]

Tq Sir

[@Hysteria98]

Fantastic lecture. Refreshing for once to hear one not in front of an American audience. You can tell because people aren't whooping and cheering every 5 seconds. Or at all.

[@koredea4207]

What do you think he meant by the link between Italian Americana and mean streets

[@nocturnal-chou]

Genius.

[@CipherSerpico]

It’s hard to say someone is THE greatest filmmaker of all time. You have Kubrick, Bergman, Kurosawa, Scorsese, Tarkovsky, Hitchcock, The Coen Bros, Coppola, Polanski, Fellini, Lynch, Scott, Tarantino, Fincher ... But it’s hard to argue that anyone has made more great films than Scorsese. Mean Streets Taxi Driver Raging Bull The King Of Comedy After Hours Last Temptation Of Christ Goodfellas The Age Of Innocence Casino Bringing Out The Dead Gangs Of New York The Aviator The Departed Shutter Island Hugo Wolf Of Wall Street Silence The Irishman The Last Waltz No Direction Home Shine A Light George Harrison: Living in a material world Rolling Thunder Revue

[@romaasrani]

Chris Serpicø there are masters who take the medium to another level and then there are the ones who tell stories

[@marshallzane7735]

Fincher Braandhan Which one is Scorsese?

[@romaasrani]

@@marshallzane7735 Fellini is master. Scorsese is very influenced by him. I love Scorsese though. U cannot not get influenced by Fellini... Even Salman Rushdie was influenced by him. I would call Tarkovsky, Bresson, Fellini, Bergman, Passolini,Kurosawa, Ozu as masters. Then the ones who were influenced by them. And there is nothing wrong in getting influenced. Nothing is created from Vaccum...

[@CipherSerpico]

Fincher Braandhan I think that’s fair. I kind of think of Scorsese as The Rolling Stones of film. The Stones didn’t really invent their sound; they just did it better than anyone else. They made simple but great music. That’s how I think of Scorsese. His work isn’t supposed to be super philosophical or political - he just wants to make great cinema. But, like The Stones - his work is actually really diverse and often extremely intelligent. I think of filmmakers like Kubrick or Bergman or Fellini as The Beatles of film. They found a way to make art that was innovative, challenging, and philosophical-while still being brilliant, aesthetically. And although I’m a Beatles guy - I still recognize the greatness of The Stones.

[@romaasrani]

@@CipherSerpico well said

[@TheVengalayakshraaj]

Ask any person who's ever involved in making MCU movies to talk about "CINEMA" in this profound way. I bet you'll find no one

[@MacIntoshMann]

i reckon scott derrickson (director of doctor strange) would do ok. he’s nowhere near as passionate or as knowledgeable about the medium as scorsese (few are) but he’s no slouch either.

[@bentic3745]

sam raimi and the director of logan are pretty good but russo brothers are mediocre with A budgets

[@MacIntoshMann]

very true - james mangold (who did logan and the wolverine) is a wonderful filmmaker in his own right, and sam raimi’s nothing short of a legend at this point.

[@TheVengalayakshraaj]

@@bentic3745 True. Sam's Spiderman trilogy is like the Dark Knight trilogy of DC, and Mangold's Logan is probably my favourite of all Marvel's films. Although Logan is part of the franchise, it stands as it's own.

[@iFreeThink]

Every idea is fine. Depends on how many elaborations.

[@username20131]

Cartoons target younger people. Who might exponentially make less mistakes.

[@robotone2812]

The irony is that the editing of this video is disruptive and poorly done.
