  Saw down below that you had seen Infernal Affairs. I missed that one. How do they compare?

  Not from Scorsese.

  Quite the reverse.

  From my own perspective, althought I admire Scorcese's prowess as a filmmaker, I'm not really drawn to watching the films you list on a repeated basis. Certainly not the way I'm drawn to the films of countless other directors.

  I, too, would like to see something uplifting and life-affirming, rather than squalid, mean-spirited, violent, etc., etc.

    But...

    Violent though they may be, I would never EVER say Scorsese's films are mean-spirited or squalid. I hope you mean the characters in the movies and not the films themselves.

    I am quite OK if you prefer to watch uplifting and life-affirming movies. People want different things from their movie experiences.

    But I like to watch great films, movies that probe and push the limits, so some of those films *will* deal with the dark side of human nature: obsession, greed, guilt and betrayal. Scorsese's passion and feeling pulse through his films. I'm always puzzled when people don't see it. But such is life.

    BTW, it's Scor S ese with an "s"!

      Agreed 1000%!!!

      And his use of Gimme Shelter throughout the soundtrack was positively hypnotic.
