The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?He made crime feel like guilt and violence look like opera - slow-motion blood, freeze-frame faces, voice-overs cutting through profanity. Fifty years of macho men, Catholic dread, and a camera that never blinks.

, There is no such thing as pointless violence. City of God, is that pointless violence? It's reality, it's real life, it has to do with the human condition.
Movies touch our hearts, and awaken our vision, and change the way we see things. They take us to other places. They open doors and minds. Movies are the memories of our lifetime.
I don't think there is any difference between fantasy and reality in the way these should be approached in a film. Of course if you live that way you are clinically insane.

Born November 17, 1942, Scorsese grew up Italian-American in New York City and earned an MA from NYU in 1968. His debut Who's That Knocking at My Door landed at Chicago's festival in 1967, but Mean Streets in 1973 announced the style: slow motion, freeze frames, graphic violence, guilt. Taxi Driver won Cannes in 1976 and locked in Robert De Niro for eight more films - Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Casino, The Irishman. Later decades brought Leonardo DiCaprio into the fold for Gangs of New York, The Departed (which finally won him an Oscar), The Wolf of Wall Street, and Killers of the Flower Moon. He's also directed rock docs, HBO series, and founded three film preservation nonprofits. Five of his films sit in the National Film Registry.
