Scorsese's Cinematic Influences For Shutter Island

Interview with Martin Scorsese on The Culture Show.

[@ElBrillante4]

Im surprised how The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari did not get mentioned. Shutter Island was like a direct adoption of the same premise.

[@gavinmasterson3256]

I can listen to this man all day talk about his passion for movies.

[@ashleyg325]

It's so nice to watch two people discuss film intelligently. If Scorsese were to mention Jacques Tourneur, or even Laura to most interviewers, they would simply look at him with that glazed look and pretend to understand. And they certainly wouldn't be able to draw their own references, like Vertigo. It's a shame that the average person doesn't understand the importance of film history like these two do.

[@KayWildcat]

There are a LOT of great directors living today. Scorsese is just among the best of them...a pure genius.

[@DirectorHMAN]

Shutter Island >>>>>>>>>>>> inception

[@marvinmart5]

I'd like to see more of these two men just talking with each other. That last two minutes or so was actually quite inspiring.

[@zehnortv1526]

Thanks for this video, this is a fantastic interview!

[@HerdULIekLetsPlays]

Give LEO his OSCAR already!

[@dilmao]

+HerdULIekLetsPlays Yeah, by all means, give Leonardo-the intensity of a ktiten-DiCaprio an Oscar. A baby faced, male model replaced Robert De Niro as Scorsese's go-to-actor. It's the biggest disappointment in movie history.

[@HerdULIekLetsPlays]

dilmao Someone is salty as fuck xD

[@Zackariyaouchen]

HerdULIekLetsPlays well...

[@ElBrillante4]

Orchestrated Dr. Dre in the intro?! haha too raw!

[@ravishingravi]

What a great man!! Would like to be someone like him

[@thechallenger9000]

I love the" cinematic hall of mirrors"

[@Zupiter8]

Shutter Island: Scorsese's euphoria filled endeavor.

[@j009aguar13]

the english are so classy. an american interviewer probably would have totally fucked this up.

[@blinkzone1]

I watched Shutter Island again and my views are still mixed with the film. Felt more like a commercial project than a personal film Scorsese usually makes

[@Captaindarkfire]

The shot of Scorsese had an interesting composition to it the way that the interviewer was shown out of focus in the mirror of the background.

[@anthonyperdue3557]

Two Scorsese repeated viewings: Shutter Island and The Last Temptation of Christ.

[@ruly8153]

Jesus.....

[@amlaanbhattacharjee8001]

Brilliant Interview and Interviewer

[@jannsse]

I'm a big fan of Tarantino, but it seems like you haven't really seen a lot of Scorsese movies. He made three films about the american italian maffia and that's it. How can you say that Scorsese is not original when he made other films like King of Comedy, After Hours, Ragin Bull, Taxi Driver, ... Tarantino lost a lot of his originality too, by the way, his movies are always about revenge. That doesn't mean his films are not good anymore, they are still extremely awesome, just like Scorsese's.

[@Mamba4.8]

Last Temptation of Christ, one of the most original movies ever, and a masterpiece as well.

[@JesusCristo2002]

We love you Marty.

[@MrDavidschloss]

i love how he sais for me, as everyone has its own interpretation even in his own Movies.

[@ecumming10]

@williamreinsch I think it has that sense of foreboding from Kubrick, but it's rooted in German expressionism and some French grand guignol, like some of Kubrick (Shining, Clockwork Orange). The style's surreal/expressionistic. It's not a great movie, but it's fun and I'd take it over a lot of other movies; it reminded me of Scorcese''s Cape Fear.

[@DrunkenM33rkat]

does anyone have a link to the interview he says at 0:30 ?

[@JesusCristo2002]

We do. I'm an American and am beginning to watch more foreign language films than any other currently. So don't worry. ; )

[@ThatGingerCuntFromTerminator2]

Hello

[@sushant2095]

Good sir, you forgot Hugo!

[@sellout87]

@DoctorHello I don't think I agree with that statement "he's now overrated". It's true that some of his more recent films probably don't have that trademark Scorsese feel but I think his filmmaking style has simply evolved into a more subtle form. I do not think it is an understatement to say that he is one of the best living directors around. I have to agree with you about PTA though. In my personal opinion he is the best young dircter around.The master cannot come out soon enough.

[@MrJoshAlan]

Love the woman in the corner at 9:34

[@mwmk4764]

hahhh

[@samfilmkid]

i hope to meet this great man some day and just discuss film

[@jonsamuthafucka]

@Silverwire100 sidney lumet? copolla? and honestly i feel aronofsky is coming close his camera work is brilliant, as well as edgar wright who are both apart of the new generation, but sidney lumet is old school he is just as great as scorsese

[@ABDALLA23542]

Don't say Tarantino is an overrated director, just say you don't like exploitation films. Tarantino sure can direct and write a movie excellently. Don't misunderstand, I am a fan of Scorsese too. In fact I like Scorsese's pictures much more.

[@ilovepanslabyrinth]

@JesusCristo2002 Yeah, I think it just depends on who you are Down here in New Zealand a guy didn't like Inglourius Basterds because there were too many subtitles. So it just depends on who you are

[@andyscoot43]

That's what I believe. I like exploitation films on the whole, but I accept they're exploitation films. When Tarantino learns how to edit his films and be less indulgent, I might rethink my opinion of him. A good director, absolutely, one of the best? No.

[@Mamba4.8]

When directors indulge that's what makes them the best, that goes for all the greats whether it's Tarantino, Scorcese, P.T.A., Nolan, etc. Directors indulging is just them stepping outside the box, which is a good thing.

[@marshallzane7735]

Exactly!

[@Whaddayamean13]

Yep. Scorsese serves the picture every time. Many of his films you wouldn’t even know it was him behind the camera. Because that’s where the director is: BEHIND the camera.

[@RobertaTMS_]

Coppola is still a great director, but the people seems that they don't want to watch his new movies. I couldn't watch both of them because I don't have money to buy the DVD's, because I don't live in United States I wasn't born there, so what can I do? Oh, I love to watch them (Coppola and Scorsese) movies... ehehe They're a kind of Pai Mei, you know?!

[@Gaston088able]

@williamreinsch you dont get the film, and always it will be something similar in one movie with other but in this case with a Kubrick film???...., the twist at the end is not for a WTF reaction, we are basically teddy eyes, his point of view, there are many clues along the way for he to "wake up" and back to reality.

[@racangela2995]

Dear GOD DONT GIVE ANOTHOER DAY TO ME

[@Gaston088able]

@Silverwire100 He is a great MAster, Im suprpise the leve of films that david fincher has being doing he is the next legend!

[@salwa714]

:D اسم مؤقت احلي :P نعم للصناعه المصريه

[@racangela2995]

U need to know the past exactly , he killed her over and over

[@andyscoot43]

"and countless others" haha.

[@NoSevenProductions]

@Silverwire100 tarantino. tarantino tarantino tarantino. and sort of clint eastwood.

[@AlexRider589]

Christopher Nolan....

[@iloveneytiri]

@williamreinsch Of course its not original it was originally a fucking book. You have misunderstood SI like quite a few critics.

[@olalator]

@inormis the edge/ david mccalum

[@ThierryLoa]

@Gaston088able I agree with you. PT Anderson is a very promising American film auteur. Although he's rather young, his films are very mature. Fincher's movies are sometimes a miss or hit, same thing for Aronofsky. While Scorcese, he's now overrated. His early films are classics, his recent ones are unoriginal, contrived and yes overrated. He simply tries to copycat the masters he admires.

[@Mamba4.8]

You can't talk about P.T.A. and then say Scorcese is overrated because he's trying to copy the "masters he desires". P.T.A. is all homage and taking from what he learned, which is not a bad thing to me at all, but to criticize Scorcese for that when P.T.A. does it more is unfair. Magnolia practially is a full blown Robert Altman movie, Boogie Nights is practically Goodfellas in the porn world, P.T.A. takes a lot from Scorcese, and Altman. But I don't knock him for it, P.T.A. is one of my favorites, but Scorcese is the greatest because he made great films in every decade of his career, and I don't think he's becoming overrated at all. Wolf of Wall Street was great, Shutter Island was great and if you really analyze his themes and symbology in it it's genius. The Departed got him the best picture and is one of my favorite from him, there's really no films from Marty that are not great.

[@vershilpatel3813]

8:00

[@legendsxdie123]

@Silverwire100 Really? Dont get me wrong, i love Scorsese, but id definitely put Terrence Malick and Roman Polanski above him, and possibly Abbas Kiarostami.

[@Mamba4.8]

I like Malick and Polanski but neither made as many masterpieces as Scorcese, Scorcese never really made a bad picture and nearly all of them are some of the best movies ever, in every decade he's directed. Malick is good, sometimes a little to pretentious and I hate to use that word but it does fit him now but it's not a fully bad thing, Polanski is great to but not like Martin.

[@shaunthebrown2]

Thank you Marty for being such an inspiration, and to WODYAMOVIES3, the publisher of this vid, love your profile pic of Three Colors: White.

[@andyscoot43]

I don't hate Tarantino, in fact, i specifically said i like his films before Jackie Brown. And actually, his films aren't about the mafia, infact, only 4 of his films you could say are about the mafia. You've got Alice Don't Live Here Anymore, Raging Bull, The Aviator, Gangs Of New York, Shutter Island, The Last Temptation Of Christ, and countless others about a wide array of subects. You can whittle any director down, like how Tarantino always has gratuitous violence?

[@NoSevenProductions]

What? His characters are awesome and his dialogue is genius. You don't know what you're talking about. Are you trying to say that Inglourious Basterds was not a good movie? I don't believe that that is possible to believe. You know what you are, you're a film hipster. You don't like what everybody likes because you think you're intelligent in doings so. Whether or not Tarantino is better than Scorsese is a matter of taste, but saying Tarantino can't write dialogue is a lie.

[@Gaston088able]

@jonsamuthafucka aronofsky, fincher and pt anderson are the future of cinema! i think pt anderson has made better camera work thant aronofsky who is also great one!

[@Mamba4.8]

Christopher Nolan needs to be in that list, and I agree with those as well.

[@Mapleheads]

Thank you Christopher Nolan

[@PrivateAckbar]

Scorsese's an incredible role model for anyone given that he's still doing exactly what he wants to do in his 70's. It's not many people that get smarter and younger as they grow older. But whenever he talks about his films he sounds like a 18 year old student writing a bullshit analytical essay.

[@BruceWayne-zj1kw]

+PrivateAckbar More like 18 year olds try their best to sound like Scorsese when writing their bullshit analytical essays.

[@C4Gavin]

am second? ha who could be number 1?

[@andyscoot43]

Tarantino lost it after Jackie Brown. Most overrated living director.

[@Mamba4.8]

I'd argue he just kept getting better.

[@rockhero2274]

White Mamba I agree. Inglorious Basterds is brilliant. His writing has improved.

[@andyscoot43]

Easy now keyboard warrior. You can have as much visual style you want (but even that leaves a lot to be desired in his newest), but movies have to have substance, and his movies don't have any. The characters are horrendously 2 dimentional, he can't write dialogue for shit. He's become a parody of himself. If he actually sat down and simply made movies, they'd be great, but instead insists on doing what everyone thinks Tarantino should do.

[@NoSevenProductions]

He is at least more original than Scorsese. I love Scorsese pictures, but they are almost always about the Italian mafia. This one may not be, but that is because somebody else wrote the book. As kick ass and awesome as Scorsese may be, he is no where near as creative or original as Tarantino. Proof of that is that some people Love Tarantino and some people hate him. Nobody has mixed feelings.

[@gastonmamy7107]

Scorsese only made films about mafia?....ok and this films what then: Taxi driver Raging bull The last themptation of crhist Cape fear The age of innocence The aviator Shutter island Hugo The wolf of wall street Silence

[@zakc2340]

Seems like you’ve only seen 4 Scorsese films. Stop talking and get to work.

[@DushyantsCHANNEL]

Tarantino never made/could make a "deep" movie, and I like his movies. But he's just not on that level.

[@clovertroller7165]

Tarantino is the exact opposite of original, and he would agree with me saying this.
