Mean streets was the street version of the godfather...how the godfather wa moreso about the elite gangsta, mean streets is about the street level soldiers...Taxi Driver was amazing imo

The suburbs
The message is that at the end of the day White collar crime is still crime. Leo and his crew were basically dope boys in suits, the whole office was one big frat house. They moved like hustlers, talked like hustlers, but they just happened to be peddling something society deems more acceptable. People think that the movie glorified their behavior, it doesn't. The movie just doesn't judge them, you are supposed to know that what they're doing is wrong without being told, that point seems to be flying over people's heads. Even in that scene where they are cutting the secretary's hair of for money I felt uncomfortable, money turned them in to disgusting/vile creatures. Too many people were relying on Scorcese to explicitly condemn the characters when as an audience we should know what they were doing was morally wrong. It's an examination of decadence, how can you attempt to examine decadence in a non decadent manner?
This movie really made me realize that its no difference between a young, charismatic white millionaire stock broker/real estate agent/etc.. and a young, charismatic black millionaire rapper or producer. Only difference is one career is looked at as more deemable and honest so no one puts them on blast for the silly shyt they do

It was way too long but it was funny as hell and really portrayed the ethos of white culture

First, WoWS is a great film imo. Scorsese's best in a long time.

But IMDB has been so overrun with fanboys that the ratings of any recent film is worthless.
it always evens itself out in the end.

the lego movie and captain america winter soldier were both in there shortly after release.

now theyre not and in the 7.9 range

same for stuff like prisoners and gravity.. high ratings but not in the 250


Only my boy nolan..almost everything in the top 250 ..and will stay there :banderas:
