At base, I think I now consider Scorsy basically a pseudo-horror artist. His goto MO revolves around painting hideous characters in a far less than thoroughly disapproving light. In doing this he conjures up the "horrific car crash effect," which draws and holds the attention due to sensationalism therefore $$$$$$$$$$$$. He's just a sensationalist porno artist to me and his films are largely devoid of real substance.
Yeah, 'Hugo' and 'Silence' were pure sensationalism. And that 'Rolling Thunder Review'? What a substance-free piece of crap THAT was.
