	Why Gangs of New York Doesn't Deserve an Oscar
		Martin Scorcese seems to have forgotten to include a fundamentally important element that is at the core of most successful historical cinema: the uplifting morality tale about good people struggling against evil forces.
		Scorcese depicts the municipal leadership almost solely committed to graft and extortion and a populace engaged deeply in class conflict and racism.
		Scorcese's fixation on tales about mean streets contributed to expensive but disappointing cinema that falls far short both as drama and as history.

	Martin Scorcese (1942 - ) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This well-regarded cult film is a tense Kafka-esque tale concerning what happens to a likable computer guy who is in the wrong place at the wrong time in the city that never sleeps--New York.
		It is as if director Martin Scorsese and screenwriter Paul Schrader had tapped into precisely the same source of psychological inspiration ("I just knew I had to make this film," Scorsese would later say), combined with a perfectly timed post-Watergate expression of personal, political, and societal anxiety.
		Martin Scorsese's 1990 masterpiece GoodFellas immortalizes the hilarious, horrifying life of actual gangster Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), from his teen years on the streets of New York to his anonymous exile under the Witness Protection Program.

	Culture Wars: Aviator
		Scorcese, the man who was a Catholic seminarian in his youth, found that portraying Christ as a pathetic loser who had an affair with Mary Magdalene and then forced her into a life of prostitution by jilting her was consoling.
		Scorcese obviously relates sympathetically to Hughes’ womanizing, but there is no indication that Scorcese has syphilis as far as I know.
		Scorcese can’t bring himself to admit, in his film, that Howard Hughes screwed a lot of women, contracted syphilis and went crazy, but he can’t completely avoid making that statement either.

	The Alsop Review
		Scorcese is not trying to tell a story from the history books so much as to tell us something about the nature of America, of its people and its democracy.
		Just as John Ford told the Western myth, Scorcese tells the myth of the streets: one the tale of expansion where prejudice and self-deceit are rewarded, the other a tale of compassion where our faults become apparent and destroy us.
		Scorcese constantly makes the parallel of the "Civil" War: this is War in "Cities." Yet by the end of the film the "individualistic" violence of the gangs gets entirely superceded by the far more impersonal violence of the state -which simply slaughters everybody when they get out of line.

	Gangs of New York
		Scorcese, and although it might not be as good as the usual comparisons Goodfellas or Taxi driver, it definitely has enough to keep you entertained for the duration of the film (weighing in at a hefty 3-hours plus).
		Gangs of New York is technically a very good film, with some fairly lovely cinematography, and a lot of ‘better-than-average’ shots.
		Day-Lewis will probably get a fair few award nominations, but the problem with the film is, Scorcese doesn’t seem to have been sure whether to boost or take apart the morale of the Americans featured in the film (read: the Americans of today).

	Kinnopio's Movie Reviews - Bringing Out the Dead
		As both Martin Scorcese and Nicolas Cage undoubtedly know, there is such a thing as going up to the line without going over it.
		Scorcese went over the line with the interminable Kundun, but walked it with the dark truth of the insider's perspective in Casino.
		And occasionally, Scorcese will call on a bit of graphic imagery (inescapable, perhaps, given our hero is a paramedic, and to his credit, the director deals with this baggage very tastefully).

	Bob Dylan - No Direction Home (DVD), Directed by Martin Scorcese (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Spawning both politically charged folk ballads that came to embody the very spirit of the turbulent 1960s ("The Times They are a-Changin") and sprawling, stream-of-consciousness litanies that irrevocably changed the face of rock music ("Like a Rolling Stone"), the years between 1961-1966 were inarguably the most artistically fertile for legendary singer/songwriter Bob Dylan.
		Director Martin Scorsese -- who had previously worked with Dylan on the Band's farewell concert film THE LAST WALTZ (1978) -- crafts an unprecedented exploration of the musician's creative process during this crucial five-year period with the historical PBS documentary event NO DIRECTION HOME.
		Part of PBS's AMERICAN MASTERS series, the film is the first ever film biography of the enigmatic, near-reclusive Dylan, who grants Scorsese his first full-length interview in 20 years for a startlingly intimate and endlessly revealing portrait of a true American icon.

	Lee's Movie Info - The Aviator Review
		I was not a fan of Gangs of New York (C+), partly because the director’s traditional usage of hip tones, a vibrant pace, and cool cinematography were not present, and I thought it was slow and dreadfully boring (for a 160-minute film).
		You can really tell this is a labor of love for DiCaprio (and for Scorcese), as Leo is the one to give Jamie Foxx a run for his money for best acting.
		There is a pretty good chance that Martin Scorcese will get his much-needed Oscar for directing (a la Spielberg for Schindler’s List, it seems to be his time).

	RE: Fave Martin Scorcese film (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This is one of the toughest polls because he has made some outstanding films and probably has about 10 films in the top 100 of all time.
		But it has to be Goodfellas, not just because its a great film but the fact it's based on a true story makes it even better.
		However it is also overly glossy, painfully simplistic in its themes and narrative and the characters lack the multiple dimensions that one usually associates with Scorcese.

	GoodFellas (1990)
		Warner Bros.' GoodFellas (1990) is director Martin Scorsese's stylistic masterpiece - a follow-up film to his own Mean Streets (1973), released in the year of Francis Ford Coppola's third installment of his gangster epic - The Godfather, Part III (1990).
		It is a nitty-gritty, unflinching treatment of a true mobster story about three violent "wiseguys" [Mafia slang for 'gangsters'], enhanced by the Italian-American director's own experience of his upbringing in Little Italy.
		Film posters were subtitled: "Three Decades of Life in the Mafia." The real-life story concerned a low-level, marginalized gangster of mixed ethnic roots (half-Irish, half-Sicilian) - Henry Hill, who ultimately turned informant for the FBI and entered the Federal Witness Protection Program to save his life by disappearing from view.
