I prefer Scorcese's films related to music, such as 'The Last Waltz'
, 1977.
Last month, via Direct TV, I DVRd it, and have thoroughly enjoyed several
viewings. Scorcese interviews The Band, and elicits very colorful descriptions
from Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, et al, along with capturing the
farewell's concert's broad appeal, including recitations of poetry, interspersed
between performances from Van Morrison, Dylan, Dr. John, Neil Young, Clapton,
Emmy Lou Harris, Muddy Waters, etc., all with The Band, who performed a much
broader
range of music than you might have remembered.
Regarding The Departed, I simply got bored with the repitive
in-your-face
violence, which pushed aside character development. Last weekend's opening
yielded $26 mil and the No. 1 rating, but I predict that next weekend's take
will
be $8 mil, followed by $3 mil the third week.
