Oscar for Scorsese?
|
I just got finished watching The Departed.
And I loved it.
It was a great cops and robbers movie that had more betrayals than a married man at a whore house.
The Departed is based on a trilogy of three Hong Kong gangster movies cumulatively titled Internal Affairs. (Which by the way is great)
It stars every important American actor today.
The ensemble cast on this movie makes movies like Crash and Oceans 11(12) seem empty and talentless.
Sure there were some excellent actors excluded from this movie but as a whole the entire A-list was there.
And they brought their A-Game.
Scorsese in my opinion made an excellent flick.
I am by no means a Scorsese aficionado but I have seen some of his movies and have enjoyed this.
This is definitely not his best but this movie will fill up some empty mantle space that he has had reserved for over 20 years.
This movie will bring him the gold.
It has to.
If you think about it this movie follows a certain formula to winning the Oscar for Best Motion Picture.
Think of the majority of the last 10 movies to win an Oscar for Best picture.
They all share certain characteristics.
Most of them have an ensemble cast of great character actors and they all have great known directors at the helm.
Poor Marty lets give this guy a break. The guy does deserve the Oscar and he should win it before he gets to old to remember to zip up his pants.
The guy still has it he really does.
With the exception of a couple of movies he never lost it.
Oh yeah was anyone else disappointed that the movies shows a cock but not one pair of tits?
I know I was. |
