Is major studio not risky enough for Martin Scorsese?
- since19790
If he is the he should just try smaller budgets

He keeps making the same movie over and over again. And with the same people.

He's put together an insane cast (pun intended as half of them are probably suffering from alzheimer's by now) for a movie called 'The Irishman' (true story that involves Jimmy Hoffa)... sometime in 2018:
Robert De Niro
Al Pacino
Joe Pesci
Bobby Cannavale
Harvey Keitel...Bobby who? :)

Things change, the masses are really into the super hero thing. or movies with big explosions and zero substance.
Its just how it goes, people have no attention span and most people lack any interest in the things movie buffs love.
if you look at logan, it borrowed heavily from classic movies and wasn't too bad. But that movie was seen as a special project compromise.
Studios will literally make spiderman after spiderman with no shame or class. Why? because they don't care. its a dude in a suit that wants your money. thats it.
All this under the idea that: "well if they keep buying than thats what they want."
well, if thats what you keep feeding them they wont know any better.
I think netflix is really gonna save the day for good films, good writing, good actors, etc.
Big Cinema is dead, good riddance.

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
