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"!
