Via Roger Ebert’s new voice comes this summation of the director’s work:
Every one seems to be about a man who has realized the dichotomy of his life and making a choice. Once blind, now seeing… for better or worse.
I noticed this years ago. Scorsese’s always taken a very personal approach to the gospel; I was more offended by the Brooklyn accents in “Last Temptation” than the material, which was pretty tame compared to Genesis. I may add it is strange how that movie was vilified, considering Scorsese’s entire life’s work has been a redemption of Christian parable.
