--- Quote from: /\ Javier /\ on September 26, 2004, 08:05:37 PM ---Scorcese has been making movies since the 70s! Of course he is going to have more classics. Name me a filmmaker thats non asian who has choregraphed martial arts.
Bruce Willis, Travolta, Samuel L Jackson, David Carradine have all said that Tarantinos writing is just AMAZING writing.

1.) With in his first 18 of feature film directing Scorsese had better movies than Tarantino, who's been directing since '87.
2.) Steven Segal choreographed and produced a lot of films.
3.) Why are you using the opinions of b-level actors to prove someone is a good writer? It would like me saying that Patrick Swayze called Ja Rule the gretest rapper of all time, or 50 Cent, Jay Z, and Big Boii all said Scarface was the greatest movie of all time, and trying to use that to ge a point across. It just doesn't work.. You should try to use relevent critics.
When Tarantino wins a pulizter I'll consider him a great writer. Writing a few movies does not make someone a great writer, comparatively speaking. I'm sure he's a very good writer, but would you put him on a top 100 writers list of all time? I wouldn't.

And for Si-ko'tic; Scorscese has way more classics than Tarantino, and Raging Bull is very moving, and Taxi Driver is also up there.

Yes, Raging Bull was moving. I dunno about Taxi Driver though, unless blowing off some guys hand off makes you shed a tear lol

I was reffering more to the relationship between De Niro and the young prostitute played by Jodie Foster. It really touched me the way a physco like that saved her and allowed her to get her life back. It was portrayed quite well in my opinion.

I feel ya.
You didn't find Harvey Keitel's loyalty to Tim Roth in Reservoir Dogs moving? He was determined to help a stranger that turned out to fuck him over in the end. I know I can relate to that.

Well, I'll watch it again and judge, but from what I remember it wasn't as goood as the Scorsese stuff. I'll give it another shot though. Keep in mind, it's not about the plot itself but the way it was done on film. We're judging directing, not drama writing. A bad director can take the best script in the world and turn out a shitty movie, while a great director can take a terrible script and and create very watchable movie.
