I was watching some scenes, further evidence (if needed !) of a non-writing director who has a strong sense of auteur-ship in shot choreography and memorable performances.

Bio-graphical movies are not for everybody and best be watched on TV at your own leisure. I agree some people can get bored watching it on big screen.

I still can't dig Scorcese/Di Caprio collaborations. Can't accept LDC as a good actor. Still living in the memories of the great, supreme, classic De Niro/Scorcese gems.

I liked both "Infernal affairs" (I & II, and not much apart from narrative style of III) and "The Departed". It was adapted to a different milieu, and the film is a testimony to Scorsese's visual interpretation and power of creation. Envisaging Monahan's script, which touched on original's themes, but also distorts some of original's beauty. The side of Boston and the fulcrum of mob business is worth showing. The shot choreography, the editing and the soundtrack is eclectic as usual.
Btw it's very discomforting to hear "Cache" being adapted to American context (Apache? ) and rumours of Scorsese doing it. As much as I admire Scorsese, Haneke's films are to be left alone. Even he couldn't recreate "Funny games" to American context with much success.
It used to be the case with LDC. My irrational hatred and cringe-inducement has decreased with time.I still can't dig Scorcese/Di Caprio collaborations. Can't accept LDC as a good actor. Still living in the memories of the great, supreme, classic De Niro/Scorcese gems
I understand Scorsese need for a young upcoming actor with marketability. So that he could get money for new projects. Scorsese has tremendously improved and help shape DiCaprio's acting skills.
On Deniro and old Scorsese films, basically the class of late 60's and 70's mainstream star-actors (Nicholson, Hoffman, Pacino, Hackman, De niro, Duvall, Charles bronson, John Cassavetes, Eli Wallach, Jason Robards, Warren beatty, Elliot Gould, Sutherland, Woody Allen, Roy Scheider, Sylvester Stallone, David Carradine, etc) had a deep sense of irreverence to looks and demeanor, stood apart from predecessors (apart from maybe Mitchum or Cagney) and most definitely the successors (Johnny Depp, Ed norton, Pitt, Bruce Willis, Di Caprio, Tom Cruise, Clooney, Matt Damon, etc - basically studs). The 70's really broke away from the rigid masculinity, looks, height, girth size, and didn't care much for charisma (invariably it was felt through talented star-actors). They didn't care for old dogs either, Brando ("Ultimate tango in Paris") or Kirk Douglas ("Posse"), were all exposed inside-out, in ways I'd never expect 'em to be. And I like that !
