Plagerism

Rating: 5/10 (3 November 2006)

This movie is fantastic, and one of Scorsese's best until the end. I won't go into specifics. I don't want to spoil the movie, but I have to point out the one scene in the movie that was lifted out of the movie, "The Third Man". Remember when Holly Martins (Joseph Cotton) gets out of the jeep and waits for Anna (Alida Valli), and she walks right past him without acknowledging his presence. It was the greatest brush off scene in movie history, and was beautiful to watch. Well, Scorsese puts this exact scene into this movie, and without giving anyone credit. Shamefull. Also, I can think of several endings that would have been more intelligent than the one they came up with.
