It has been a long time since..

I've been able to review a movie in this way... and I'm glad I finally get to.
It's 2010. 9 years after 9-11. We live in a world where Avatar and Beverly Hills Chihuahua are two of the highest grossing films in the last 2 years. We live in a time where Batman is "totally ****ing gay" because Christian Bale's low voice is too "weird" for the viewers.
The moment I saw the opening sequence of this film, (Which was an obvious homage to ****ing Hitchcock and Kubrick. If you didn't see that then you're a retard.) I knew exactly what this was created for.
It was created to irritate and bother all of the dip shits of my generation, the ****s who are so knit-picky about details they have no god damn clue what's happening in the real world around them—NOT UNLIKE the premise of the ****ing movie.
You senseless, soulless, dreamless, fools. That's why the continuity is ****ed. That's why there are blatant cuts that look like they were left in on accident. Because Martin Scorsese—is not James Cameron. He doesn't spend a decade perfecting meaningless flash with zero story.
He made a point to prove it was about the GUTS of this film. about the STORY. about the HEART. the SOUL. That's why there is actually a line in the film that says "Thorns as big as my dick". It's completely meant to be hilarious at certain points. Have you not SEEN a Scorsese film before??!
He KNEW there would be an entire generation of DIY/2 year grads from A.I.—who think they know ANYTHING about film making or story telling—watching this film ready to tear it apart because they're DUMB enough to think they're the future of cinema.
The uncomfortable silences, down to the horrifyingly over the top and painful to watch climaxes. The brutally perfect soundtrack and anticlimactic show downs with "Violent" characters and lets not forget the first words you hear after stairwells of buildup. Baby— this film is genius for our time and generation. If you don't get it. You just don't ****ing get it.
Go watch Twilight 3 to fulfill your "originality" or another BioPic about a Mediocre rock star who never made it. Because, sucker, you wouldn't know a Soul if it carved a Z in your ****in forehead.
