a terrible, terrible film

Rating: Null/10 (15 November 2006)

why has this film made it into the top 250? do people like films that are patronising? as you should know, films work best with subtlety and subtext. this film has neither.
why do people continue to watch scorsese's work? he constantly talks down to the audience. by quoting joyce, Shakespeare etc in the way he does one gets the feeling he is trying to show off. how can you not find this condescending?! the way he films everything that is relevant to the plot 3 or 4 times has a similar effect.
not only this but did no one find the scene in which dicaprio's character deals drugs worrying? using hip hop to score the scene is at best ignorant!
i could go on for a long time. people, stop listening to what you are told by the TV and f*ck*ng WATCH the film!!!!
