Cumpleaños 🎂

Hoy cumple 80 años el gran MARTIN SCORSESE

Un 17 de noviembre de 1942 nacía Martin Scorsese. Y hoy, ochenta años después, sigue parado en la cima de Hollywood como uno de los directores más importantes de la historia del cine. Además de ser uno de los más respetados, también fue el encargado de educar y crear una nueva generación de cineastas.

Martin Scorsese nació en Nueva York en el seno de una familia de origen italiano. Su padre era un planchador de ropa y actor, mientras que su madre, costurera y actriz. Sus abuelos eran de Italia, por lo que la cultura italiana siempre estuvo presente en su familia, al punto de que vivió con su familia en Little Italy, un barrio de Nueva York.

Desde muy pequeño tuvo algunos problemas de salud, y cuando le extirparon las amígdalas, desarrolló asma. Debido a esto, no podía practicar deportes, por lo que sus padres y hermanos lo llevaban al cine siempre que podían, para distraerlo. 

Entre sus trabajos más recordados podemos encontrar "Taxi Driver" (1976), "Toro Salvaje" (1980), "Goodfellas" (1990), "Casino" (1995), "El aviador" (2004),  "El lobo de Wall Street" (2013), entre otras.

Su último filme fue "El irlandés", el cual se estrenó en 2019.

Su próximo proyecto es "Killers of the Flower Moon", el cual tendrá su estreno en el Festival de Cannes de 2023.

Ganó un solo Oscar en toda su carrera

Cualquiera pensaría que con la cantidad de éxitos que ha realizado, el director tiene varios Premios Oscar en su haber. Sin embargo, solo tiene uno. En 2007 obtuvo el premio como Mejor Director por "The Departed". En total, ha obtenido un total de 14 nominaciones, pero nunca ha vuelto a recibir el premio.

Es muy supersticioso

A pesar de ser un hombre muy exitoso, Martin Scorsesetambién tiene sus creencias y supersticiones. Durante la década del 70, sufrió una severa aversión y obsesión por el número 11. Si, así como lees. El director no podía hacer nada que estuviera relacionado con ese número, a tal punto de que no podía viajar un día 11 o quedarse en la habitación o piso 11 de un hotel. Por suerte, su obsesión fue disminuyendo con el tiempo.

Vetado del Tibet

En 1997,Martin Scorsese dirigió "Kundun", un filme biográfico sobre la vida y escrituras de Tenzin Gyatso, el decimocuarto dalái lama y líder político y espiritual. Y aunque la película había sido bien recibida por la crítica, lo cierto es que a la gente del Tibet no le gustó, y tanto Scorsese como Melissa Mathison, la guionista de la película, fueron vetados de por vida del Tibet. Tal es así, que hoy en día son una de las pocos personas que tienen prohibida la entrada.

Sus mayores arrepentimientos

Martin Scorsese no se arrepiente de sus filmes ni sus decisiones creativas. Pero si sabemos que hay dos cosas que no se perdona haber hecho. Una de ellas es haber leído más cuando era joven. Desde muy pequeño fue introducido en el mundo del cine y la religión, por lo que solamente puso su atención en ello. Otro de sus arrepentimientos es no haber aprendido a cocinar.

Where will you be When the cat Reveals himself? -Jim 7:27:78

So I noticed that this film, and my 2020 review of it, had been removed from Letterboxd at some point. Not sure why this would have been done, considering it's a legitimate short film, but here's hoping it sticks around this time, and that some new people are inspired to see it.

I did still have a copy of my review cross-posted to my blog, so I will include it below. I have only a couple of small additions after this rewatch:

First, I want to stress how incredible John Blyth Barrymore's performance is, giving such ludicrous material an uninterrupted, hour-long delivery. I also want to note how remarkably well the Philip Glass score, transplanted from Kundun (1997), sets the tone.

Check it out for yourself here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following is my original review from 27/07/2020 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

“For six years I delved into tobacco research because… can a cat smoke?”

I liked the part with the analysis of the Garfield strip.

Happy Pipe Strip Day! No matter how many times I see this, I remain utterly enamoured. Everything from the core concept, to the writing, to the delivery, to the soundtrack, is simply genius. It’s rare that anything so perfectly aligns with my sense of humour the way that 07/27/1978 does.

Miss that period from like the 1990s to the mid 2000s where every year there'd be two high-profile films with the exact same premise. Like, not a rip-off made after the fact, but two or more similar films made and released around the same time, with one clearly made to counter the other, but with it often unclear which was the original or if there was an original or just cinematic convergent evolution

Like, you had 1997's two volcano movies, Dante's Peak and Volcano, with the former taking a much more serious/accurate-ish tone than the other, a pattern repeated by 1998's asteroid movies Armageddon and Deep Impact. 1997 also had two movies where one guy on a hijacked plane must take it back (Air Force One & Con Air) and two movies about the youth of the 14th Dalai Lama (Kundun and Seven Years in Tibet). Why? Who knows! 1995 had two talking pig movies, Gordy and Babe, but in that case Gordy was actually made in 1994 and dumped into theaters to cash in on Babe.

The 2000s brought us 2006, the year of two magician movies (The Illusionist & The Prestige), two Truman Capote-writes-In Cold Blood movies (Capote & Infamous), and two classic Hollywood noirs based on infamous deaths movies (The Black Dahlia & Hollywoodland). And then, the trend seemed to die off, with maybe the last gasp 2009's "metaphor aliens revolt" duology of Avatar & District 9.

Sometimes this clearly represented a broader trend. EDtv was The Truman Show but worse, but there was a big wave of "reality is not what it seems" movies of the late 90s, from Dark City to those two to The Matrix, The Thirteenth Floor, and eXistenZ. Something was going on there

This was big in animation and for a while Dreamworks would make a copy of Disney/Pixar's next film out of spite. You had the two ant movies of 1998, A Bug's Life & Antz, the two Mesoamerican comedies of 2000, The Emperor's New Groove & The Road to El Dorado, the two fish movies of 2003-2004, Finding Nemo & Shark Tale. Then there's the absolute golden age of this trend, the "these two endangered animals MUST FUCK" genre of 2010-2011, where Alpha and Omega and Rio proved strong enough to kill off Pixar's endangered animal fuck fest movie, Newt.

The peak moment for this whole thing, though, was March 1990, where two films about a dance craze called the Lambada (in the US, it was a mostly manufactured attempt at a craze, and by then people were already questioning its true reach; it was a huge hit in Europe but never hit the top 40 in America - or even the top 20 dance songs) came out on the same day

#long post #movies #film #tv tropes has a page for this but as is the norm with that site people have filled it with useless examples #and broadened its scope to list all films in conflict with each other? #another odd one I couldn't fit in here is that the Goodfellas guy had TWO movies made about him in 1990 #one of which was a comedy #but the writer of that film was married to the writer of the book about him so they shared research #hence why
