For the younger generation, they are exposed to movies that are mostly computer animated. There are 3D movies that are more of a presentation than a journey into the story. Sometimes the stories do not even have to be meaningful to become a hit. This art that used to be the main reason for movies before is slowly disappearing. This is why the technological advancement of being able to watch free streaming movies has greatly helped the appreciation of past films.
As an example, Martin Scorsese is a film director, screenwriter and producer. He has made a lot of movies since he became active in 1963. His taste in movies has revolved more on action films and mafia films which has garnered many different accolades over the years. Some of his movies have been considered part of the list of the best movies in the world. These movies are a prime example of the difference between movies then and now. Something that people can enjoy with the technology they have.
One might ask: What are the best Martin Scorsese films? And though there are many opinions about the matter, below are four of the best works by Mr. Scorsese.
In 2006, Scorsese won an Oscar for his movie The Departed. Some people think that he should have won earlier but this movie is an example of how great he is. The story revolves around the simple premise of a good cop against a bad cop. The insights on the dirty trade take different twists and turns in a well constructed production. The actors that Scorsese got for the film are excellent as well; he got Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson. The star-studded cast alone is a sure hit for fans; but what they considered as the crowning jewel is how the story was played out.
Taxi Driver is probably one of the most famous movies of all time. It has produced the ultimate line that is associated with Scorsese: “You talkin’ to me?” For this film, Scorsese gets Robert De Niro to play a psychotic cab driver who turns to violence when life doesn’t give him fast balls. It has won awards in many different countries and continues to have a cult following.
The ultimate mafia film is one that Scorsese made. Goodfellas welcomed the 90s decade with a bang. It has everything that matters in a mob film: money, crimes, deaths, and bad men. They are perfectly depicted in this movie where Ray Liotta plays a mobster on the road to become the mob leader. This remains as one of the best films in recent history and is important for people who love action movies.
