Martin Scorsese and Kent Jones Discuss On the Waterfront

[@bigleaguechew87]

You gotta admire his passion for film. He understands, he gets it. That's why he's one of the greatest filmmakers ever.

He also knows how to do it. Not only knows about it.

[@marcmorrissey1147]

He dreams it as well, he’s a painter, an architect, a true craftsman.

On The Waterfront is a masterpiece

[@BirdArvid]

Scorsese is, beyond being an extremely influential and important Oscar-winning film-maker; a world treasure for not only his love and knowledge of film, but his extremely valuable restoration work in world cinema. The Criterion Collection has released I believe three sets of world cinema films, curated by and restored under the supervision of, Martin Scorsese.

[@davidlang1125]

Thank goodness for Criterion and people like Scorsese who dedicate so much of their effort and resources to restore and preserving great movies from all around the world.

[@davidbcalhoun]

And now a fourth set of world cinema!

This film was trying to capture what was happening in the Chelsea section of Manhattan during the 1940s and 1950s, it had nothing to do with Italians much but more to do with the Irish and the Irish mob's link to organized crime but the film was about the Irish and Chelsea and similar life across the river in Weekhawken and Hoboken but the union hall was run by Joe Stack and it was located on 21street and 11th ave, Chelsea was a vibrant working class area in those days inhabited largely by the Irish and an influx of Puerto Ricans in the 1950s. The character of the priest was based on a priest who was at Xavier catholic school at 16 Street between 6th and 5Th ave in Manhattan. I grew up with Terry Maloy's son in Chelsea, his father of course wasn't named Terry Maloy but his father was a longshoreman who the character was based on, unlike the movie the real Terry Maloy was shot and killed.

It was the woman in this film, 🎥 that you can't take your eyes off of ...every time she's there ...besides Marlon's triumphant performance 🎭 👏

[@phillipsmom6252]

Eva Marie Saint she is now 99 years old. 👍

[@MapleSyrupPoet]

[@occasm]

Eva was key to the film on so many levels!

[@Kareragirl]

Wow, THAT is good quality.

[@DarkStormProduction5]

On The Waterfront does not take place in New York, it takes place in Hoboken.

[@Madbandit77]

Yes, it was filmed there, but I think the story takes place in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

[@Buffaloc]

I have On the Waterfront many times. It is in my top 3 of all times. One slight criticism is that sometimes Bernstein's score seems to overwhelm certain scenes. Johnny Friendly is very under rated.

[@xtraspecialmango]

How come Brando & Marty never worked together!? Can you imagine!?!

[@Madbandit77]

A missed opportunity in terms of working together.

[@AlonsoRules]

imagine a crime film with Brando, De Niro and Scorcese!!

[@xtraspecialmango]

@@AlonsoRules It coulda been a contender

[@antwahnredding6294]

@Randy White yeah I read that somewhere he was supposed to be in Taxi Driver but I don’t know if he was supposed to be Travis Bickle I always heard it was always going to be De Niro.

[@AlonsoRules]

@@xtraspecialmango it could have been something

[@kdizzle901]

I think On The Waterfront is Brandos best film

[@luomodagliocchidifalco9421]

Apocalypse Now, The Godfather, A Streetcar Named Desire

[@georgejones8481]

That's because it is

[@paulorlando5877]

Agree

[@welaughatstupidshit]

he is this way everywhere

[@Carterofmars]

I grew up on that very waterfront in Williamsburg/Greenpoint Brooklyn.

[@paulorlando5877]

best film of the 50's.

[@quarantinebored1427]

I can listen to Scorsese and Tarantino talk about films all day.

[@jaimonjohn161]

on the waterfront, rebel without a cause only 2 movies of the 50s are ahead of its time

[@aadityabhattacharya]

Jaimon John i would also consider A street car name desire in that category

[@afonsolucas2219]

Aaditya Bhattacharya Isn't that one 1949? Maybe I'm confusing it with another one.

[@FenceDaGreat]

Night of the Hunter, Paths of Glory, Some Like It Hot. I'm sure I can think of other American movies but you're right about those. Worldwide we got TONS. Summer With Monika, Rashomon, The 400 Blows, Umberto D., Ugetsu...just to name a few. This comment could easily become an essay.

[@73reider]

And Streetcar named desire, People talk about Brando in Waterfront, But I thought his portrayal as Stanley in streetcar was timeless and more remarkable, Its as explosive in 2018 as it was back in 1951, Where I come from we have Olivier, He represented old World acting and a genius, His only equal is Marlon, The Most important American Actor of all time, No question.

[@anthonybrinkley1940]

@@afonsolucas2219 that's the actual play. The movie was 1951

[@AlonsoRules]

The only film to properly portray union corruption

[@litlgrey]

Oh christ, I thought this was Rachel Maddow's friend Kent Jones. DUHH!!!

[@ferociousgumby]

Why isn't more KZbin video of this quality? Most of it is such shit.

"papist?" Really? I guess anti-Catholicism is the last acceptable prejudice for the PC crowd.

Stop abusing kids then

[@xalstarx]

Great film, even though it was essentially McCarthiast propaganda.

[@oskaveli662]

Unions have become what they were once against.

[@dbag3345]

thank you

[@spb7883]

Brilliant thing about it from that standpoint: it could be read from either “side”. This is to say it’s less political than it is human. And yet, it is ironic that as Scorsese points out, this is a film that seemed to be made outside of the Hollywood system and yet had convoluted ties to the political system.

[@xalstarx]

Nicholas Lewis He ratted on people (not even necessarily communists at the time), which cost them their jobs/careers and livelihoods. It wasn’t exactly something to be proud of. Perhaps you would understand it better if you had researched it further.

[@anthonybrinkley1940]

That's one interpretation, but I would disagree. Marlon Brando's character ratted on the Mafia (organized crime) and the boss of everyone (the unnamed capitalist whose face you never see). Brando did not rat on the longshoremen who actually compromised the union. It seems to me that Kazan was feeling guilty for folding in front of the HUAC and created an ambiguous film to explain himself.

[@imleksutra933]

Overrated

[@Mana94x]

go to sleep child

[@pedrofelipepamplona1944]

Fruit cake this photo of Marlon Brando you chose turned me on

[@spb7883]

Hard to say how it could be. The influence on American film acting is too seminal.

[@occasm]

not in the slightest. 70 years old and still powerful and relevant!
