I am not changing the subject. I referenced the mafia generally, and the books on the mafia specifically, only to demonstrate that what Scorscece depicts in his films are real people, as did Coppola in the Godfather films. My use of those books was only to buttress my argument that what Scorscece is doing is different than what Tarantino is doing, and to compare them is to compare apples and oranges. Once again, for the learning impaired, Scorscece is attempting to give you a window into a world that you are probably not familiar with. Tarantino is not. Scorscece is attempting to portray real type people in a real environment. Tarantino is not. Scorscece is trying to educate you, in addition to entertaining you. Tarantino is not. If you have a problem with viewing a film which attempts to depict violence that takes place in parts of our country as it is perpetrated by amoral people, who have not a humanistic bone in their body, and would rather have a film maker tell you that violence is bad, and provide you some style, panache, and, at the end, that all the bad guys in black hats get their commupetance, then the limitation is with you, not Scorscece. Ironically, you enjoyed Tombstone, with it's "humanistic" portrayal of Doc Holliday, a ruthless killer. So, maybe your preference is that the film maker rewrite history to make images tidy. To each his own.I am merely asking you to carry your analysis to the logical extreme, and you refuse to do so, for reasons which are obvious. When you compare Scorscece to Tarantino, I write that you are comparing apples to oranges. I provide you specific reasons why. I provide you specific examples for Scorscece's window on his world. Yet you refuse to address any of those arguments. Why? Would you compare Tarantino to Hitchcock, and then conclude that Tarantino is somehow lacking? Oh darn, there I go changing the subject again.
