that thing you do.

Last night I went to go see Shutter Island dir. Martin Scorsese. After long hours of contemplation wondering how I could do a post that wasn't similar to the billions of posts out there about Shutter Island, I realized I would just explain how this is another great Scorsese film that confirms why I want to be in filmmaking.

I think the film that really did it for me was Raging Bull. The first time I saw that film I think I fell in love with cinematography.

To me, Scorsese films are completely engaging. I mean I have seen a lot of films, many of which were awe dropping, amazing, etc. but every time I see a Scorsese film, I just become inspired.
Satisfied if you will. There is something about the detailed, craft of it. Like your watching Da Vinci paint a painting. I know I sound crazy but to me, living in a time where Scorsese is still producing work, where I am alive to witness it is simply amazing and I want to embrace it.

Okay, I had to add that although the content of his films can be at times,
objectionable, I still believe the films as an art are remarkable and although this post does not do his work justice, you get the idea.
