Is Martin Scorsese too risky for a major studio?

  All involved parties are guilty.

  Big Studios understand their audience.
  Netflix understands their audience.
  Stuff to plays wonderfully on the small screen of your living room bombs in the theater (and probably vice versa).
  The fact that Scorsese hasn't made a film with an ounce of creativity in a long time isn't helping either.
  The media understands their audience too knowing full well that a simplistic David v Goliath portrayal will get them more attention in the public eyes than a complex portrayal of power struggle on the top.

  In reality it's a power struggle between Goliaths but as the masses don't understand how politics work on the top it's presented in simplified terms of "us v them."

  • I'll agree with everything except the Scorsese statement. I don't thinks there has ever been a director that has made so many consistently good movies._niko
  • His career spans 50+ years and he's still making great fucking movies. Wolf of wall street is probably his shittiest one and it's still great._niko
  • your "great films" clearly differ from mine but that's irrelevant because the gist of the post wasn't about it.pr2
  • with an ounce of creativity? ho hooosince1979
  • ok fine, give me a name. which director has been so prolific and so good for so long? Sure, he's not scorsese from the taxi driver or raging bull era, but he's_niko
  • ...still phenomenal. Rotten tomatoes hasn't rated any of his movies below 77% (wolf) for what it's worth._niko
