And frankly, Marty's adaption is radical and good insofar as it centers the narrative away from the mystery and white saviors (and interrogates the readers/viewers consumption of such narratives); much more likely he got it at a Hudson News for a flight on recommendation from his step father, liked reading about the FBI, and was disappointed with the movie, as it made him very uncomfortable.
Haven't seen the film yet and had been planning to sleep on it but I'll give it a look.
I don't necessarily think Scorsese is bad, just that he's incredibly overrated and largely put up on an unachievable pedestal that nobody can truly live up to.
Oof.

He's not. Afterhours, King of Comedy, Age of Innocence, Cape Fear, Silence -- this dudes B-sides make your favorite auteur envious.
You're entitled to your own opinion. He's made some good films, I'm just not really big on the whole auteur hero-worship thing.
