Such a smart guy. A walking film encyclopedia. Thank you for posting.

[@mglegend]

Ha! I've been searching for this for YEARS. That was me at the 37:48 mark asking Scorsese a question. A wonderful discussion, eleven years ago now. Thanks so much for posting.

wtf is wrong with you?

[@dylanjames9902]

I just find it amusing that both of you managed to use "your" (*you're*) incorrectly. Sort of ironic when you were bitching at one another about being clever... All part of the KZbin bickering fun I guess.

[@carloslauper1841]

Marty is so bright, you listen for hours.

[@joeynickles7962]

I love that Scorsese is a fan of The Clash. Would LOVE to see him do a biopic of the band, or at least direct a documentary about them.

I'm no sure if anyone has brought this up yet, but Marty mentions that Gangs uses the music of the streets from that period - a fife & drum - to create the score for the film. I was wondering if anyone else noticed that during the scene in Taxi Driver, when Travis & Betsy are walking to the move theater, they pass the street drummer calling out past tunes, which then cuts to someone playing what sounds like either a flute or fife in the background.

“Gene Krupa, Syncopated Style Shortly”

[@danielhetue6968]

Scorsese has a pretty unique voice since I admire his enthusiasm and the films he directed.

[@SOLXXX41]

I could listen to Marty talk about movies for hours and hours.

[@lucaspellarin2552]

very interesting! I love this man!

[@johnnotrealname8168]

Not to give the film away and then proceeds to do so.

[@xtraspecialmango]

Who was the actor who wouldn't come out of the trailer? Liotta?

[@snapper7568]

26:28: "I'm from Boston." "That's another story!" He already knew he was going to do The Departed.

31:44 she interrupted the great Scorsese >>

31:44

[@joeynickles7962]

I love Scorsese’s work but he’s a bloke who directs movies not a deity. And this is a discussion forum. Scorsese of course took it in stride.

[@VinnyGiovanniMusic]

Does anyone know the name of the man interviewing him?

[@EyeByBrian]

Oddly, perhaps, but it's Michael Ovitz, former head of CAA (the talent agency Creative Artists Agency) and former head of Disney (1995-1997). I don't believe he was ever Scorcese's 'agent' though Wikipedia asserts that he has 'advised' Scorcese over the years so they clearly have, or had at the time of this interview, some kind of trusting relationship.

[@adamscottmiller4154]

Who is the guy Martin keeps referencing as his inspiration? Burtman? Birdman? One time he mentions him is at 16:38

[@jessedampolo]

+Adam Scott Miller Ingmar Bergman

[@hitenchauhan1204]

+Jesse Dampolo that's easy

[@jessica5497]

Bergman, man... Check him out, a genius

[@glenndrexler1677]

Taxi driver,what else is there To say!

[@adikravets3632]

6:00 you sure has definitely changed.
