@bobbvomm94373 жыл бұрын
Scorsese makes shallow meaningless films that are stylistic but lack a style, void of any substance. Scorsese makes the Cohen emptyheads seem like brilliant directors. I like Scorsese's public persona but his movies are mainly acclaimed by pretentious pseudo intellectuals that lack any sense of taste.

I have to disagree. Her pacing is good but when it comes to dialogue scenes her editing is a mess. Most of the time the actor talking isn’t even moving his mouth. The Jonah hill intro in wolf of Wall Street, the assassination attempt in Irishman, the famous “how am I funny?” Scene in Goodfellas. Pay attention to the editing between dialogue in those scenes and you’ll see all the editing mistakes. She lacks details

Don't know when I read that Martin Scorsese AND Thelma Schoonmaker worked on the editing of WOODSTOCK. Wikipedia lists 6 names as editors. Was a mountain of material, of course. My magic moment in this documentary comes near the end: SANTANA with "Soul Sacrifice". I think it is one of the clips that define the very PEAK in the art of editing. With split screen technique we see the interactions between the musicians and of the band with their audience often simultaneously, it's rhythm, emotion, joy, togetherness, melody, smiles, dancing, a little madness and very much heart! I do not know for sure, but I would BET that these minutes are the work of Thelma. Can someone please verify this? Greets from Munich - from a great fan!!!

8:00 - “So normally you would have cut that scene faster. But the richness of the acting - it was our job to make sure that we honored that, and that we got the absolute best out of it.” That’s exactly how they have to do these types of things on the stage in theatre. Many film actors do/got their start in theatre, so it’s nice to see some editors recognize that sometimes sustaining a shot is more effective than expediency.

Scorsese's earlier films, like Mean Streets & Taxi Driver, are brilliant, but when he was able to get Thelma to work on his films from Raging Bull onwards, you can tell the difference, & it is immensely clear. She deserves credit for at least 50% for his films being so good.

I think many casual film watcher (or even a more experienced one) doesn't even realize how much the editing can affect the feeling of the film. Many films could be saved by a skillful editor. Also lighting is another very important element of film making which affects us in more subconscious level, just like editing.
