It should but hes already ignoring the quality of late career Hitch, Ford, Lang, Hawks, Eastwood etc so it probably won't

Tarantino tends to be very much aligned with calling movies great that have universal acclaim and while I do think many of these filmmakers have great late works, it’s also true that generally their works were less acclaimed as they got older

Tarantino is ultimately obsessed with having a perfect filmography and having no misses as far as acclaim and box office success go

Should I be seeing this in imax or Dolby?

Dolby to save your glutes

get ya tix!!

Only Lang really.. the rest of them were making straight up popular classics in their 60s and beyond (easy to calculate cause all the og's born at the end of the 1800s)

John fords later films were quite mixed as well

Hawks had some later films that weren’t loved to the same level either such as Mans Favortie Sport, Rio Lobo, and Red Line 7000 (moreso hated by Hawks himself, though Tarantino was a fan)

And while I love Clint’s later films, I mean he did 15:17 to Paris, Cry Macho, and even a film like The Mule or American Sniper didn’t get the critical reception that he would be getting in his prime

And even Hitchcock had Topaz

My biggest fear is they place an eras tour showing next to my theater so I hear them during the whole movie

Been avoiding trailers since the first one but one came on during NFL Sunday. Didn’t expect to hear a Rick Ross song in a Scorsese trailer but Devil is a Lie classic

i'm making my way through Irishman and what a film that is already (only a quarter of the way through)

thought this was gonna be on streaming but guess not, now i'm seriously thinking of watching it Thursday

s*** looks dark, has leo, i'm starting to see the core of the film, sheesh

I trust Martin and love that it has a horror film type pace but my god is midsommer so overrated. Don’t get the hype at all

3.5 hours boy got damn

showings at my theater for this are TRASH why is it 5 pm OR 7:30 f*** this long ass movie

My theater still hasn’t decided if this or Taylor gets the premium screen this weekend

Tbf, Taxi Driver making the mass shooter loser a hero just because he was in the right place at the right time and he had one singular moral was disappointing. I could definitely see where, over time, that will be more and more heavily criticized.

Raging Bull, Departed, and Wolf Of Wall Street all show us how the greed of bad men cost them everything in the end, though, so I don’t see how this writer’s narrative extends to the entirety of Scorsese’s catalog.

I think we’re supposed to see the irony in his elevation
Just because the movie doesn’t punish him, it doesn’t mean that it endorses him
Same thing with Fight Club
Audiences will inevitably misinterpret it, but that is that casualty of art

It’s not a celebration of Travis’ actions.

That’s like saying the director of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer is dismissive of Henry’s actions because Henry gets away with murdering all those people with little in the way of consequences.

Aster is already influencing GOATs

Idk.

I get what you’re saying. The irony is him accidentally becoming the big hero after being this increasingly violent degenerate for the whole film.

I just think it treads a dangerous territory by allowing him to be “the hero who broke up the s***ring, was applauded by the world, and got the girl”, especially in the context of modern times where we see a repeating story of alt right 4chan losers turned mass shooters. Bickle’s story is a wet dream for those kind of people, right? Like to a tee, he’s everything they want to be and gets everything they dream of — and those type of folk pose a much bigger threat than they did in the 70s.

Edit: I’m conflicted lmao. The alternative is to have Bickle lose in the end, which makes the story a bit more generic. The subversion of expectations is sort of the point.

I guess it’s reality I’m disappointed in, more than the film
