Scorsese over, and over again.

Rating: 7/10 (9 May 2014)

Mmm, disappointed was the first thing to came to my mind, then mmm no, is Scorsese. With exceptions of very few films (Hugo, Aviator, Goodfellas, Taxi Driver...) I think that Martin is perhaps the most overvalued director.
A lot of extra footage making too long movies, heavy for no reasons, full of things that doesn't seem have a reason. They are bad movies, no, they are great. no. However, his movies are hard to pass through them, a hardness that remind me the stream of consciousness in the literature, but when Virginia Wolf used Mrs. Dalloway to get into the women mind, innovating, trespassing boundaries and values of her time.
Scorsese, well he is heavy, difficult, for What? for a decent movie in the best of the cases. 3 hours movies that can be reduced in the half, actors push to overacting, shouting, cheap violence, cheap turns. And not because the guy is not talented, he can recruit interesting crews, find excellent scripts, he knows how to use the camera.
In my opinion he spent that talent, because he believes too much in him, in his way, in his idea, don't listen anything from anyone, don't question himself; that he could be forgetting smth, that he could be making some mistakes, even he can't quit to some shots that are completely unnecessary. An attitude maybe just compared with Woody Allen's, but the good Woody, well, he does that to run away from the Hollywood formula, with yes, a lot of bad results.
But Scorsese doesn't run away from any formula, it looks Hollywood, is heavy, long, expensive and at least for me, make me regret the 3 hours that I invested in his movies, at least I watched this in my computer and not in a cinema where I will regret a little bit more. And don't get me grown, this movie is good but I could live my life without suffering it.
P.s. This Leonardo Dicaprio doesn't deserve the Oscar, the one of Django Unchained yes. This symbionts, Scorsese / DiCaprio, Nolan / Bale, Burton / Deep, Allen / Cruz, are wasting the time of multifaceted talented actors and encourage them to don't leave one unidimensional way of acting, I mean Johnny Deep can't stop being Captain Sparrow in every single movie. (Even when it wasn't Burton who created Sparrow, or not entirely, but that is another time discussion).
