Killers of the Flower Moon (Martin Scorsese, October 6, 2023) Movie • Page 39

Was excited to see this was on Apple but then saw $20 to rent and thought nah. Then my toddler stole the remote and somehow rented it for $3.99. Didn’t know Andrew Garfield was in this and the Qui Gon Jinn weeb twist really got me

 

This was good

 

Damn this movie is long as hell, Spo started it on Friday and just finished.

 

It took me 3 sittings

 

Stringer bell scoffing gif.

 

Lol I've been watching The Two Towers for like two weeks

 

If you liked Gladstone's performance, Certain Women is now streaming on MUBI. A great film but movies on MUBI only stream for a month so it is your chance now.

 

gimme a 4K

 

i think this was my favorite of last year

 

Top 10 for me for sure, I'd like to see it again

 

why dont you ask nicely

 

I can't tell what's satire anymore

 

Well deserved win for lily tonight

 

Hell yeah

 

as much as I love and trust Scorsese, that film just seems like an odd choice for him. but hey, I'll take it on the chance it's good and at the very least more historically accurate (/less antisemitic) than Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ.

 

Honestly, a late career Marty doing a tight film on Jesus’ teachings sounds amazing to me. My only question going in would be how he’ll handle the casting.

 

Scorsese has completed the screenplay for that film, collaborating with critic and filmmaker Kent Jones, and plans to shoot it later this year. They’re still “swimming in inspiration,” he tells me, still figuring it out. It’ll be based on Shūsaku Endō’s book “A Life of Jesus.” (Endō also wrote “Silence.”) And it’ll be set mostly in the present day, though Scorsese doesn’t want to be locked into a certain period, because he wants the film to feel timeless. He envisions the movie to run around 80 minutes, focusing on Jesus’ core teachings in a way that explores the principles but doesn’t proselytize.

“I’m trying to find a new way to make it more accessible and take away the negative onus of what has been associated with organized religion,” Scorsese says.

Every time the word “religion” has come up since we started talking, I say, you’ve tried to find a way around it.

“Right now, ‘religion,’ you say that word and everyone is up in arms because it’s failed in so many ways,” Scorsese says. “But that doesn’t mean necessarily that the initial impulse was wrong. Let’s get back. Let’s just think about it. You may reject it. But it might make a difference in how you live your life — even in rejecting it. Don’t dismiss it offhand. That’s all I’m talking about. And I’m saying that as a person who’s going to be 81 in a couple of days. You know what I’m saying?”

…

The “present day” angle is interesting to me.

 

I'm interested.

 

Okay that actually sounds pretty cool. I’m in

 

I can see him banging this out and then making one last epic
