  That shot of De Niro smoking at the bar with the camera slowly moving towards him while Sunshine Of Your Love is playing, will forever be one of my favourite shots of all time. He is so god damn cool.

  100/100

  Had to give the "new" Blu-ray (from a 4K scan!) a spin, and it's as impossibly gorgeous as can be, enriching the murky, glorified details and cranking all the exhilaration and eventual paranoia up to 11. Even though I've seen this around 20-30 times at this point, I still get dizzy from all the detail; an entire world built up and thriving through soda pop nostalgia and the eventual nervousness of violence. Scorsese's attuned style commits fully to every aspect of the production, but it is in the strange, banal moments where his genius fully shines.

  I decided to give Scorcese's film another go and while I still appreciate the skill involved I just cannot get myself to like this film.

  The problem is that in a film full of antagonists the audience always loses. This film doesn't make me care for a single character and that completely takes me out of it. It turns me from a spectator into a passerby.

  The story arch is fine and it is told with Scorcese's usual skill. Most performances are excellent and engaging, but I just keep coming back to the fact that I need a protagonists I can root for in a story like this. Our supposed hero, the way he's written, is simply not a character…

  My friends and I in middle school had a thing where we’d say “as far away as I can remember I always wanted to be a stupid piece of shit” and I couldn’t remember if we made that up or it was lifted from some sort of Goodfellas parody so I asked twitter and got like 500 replies saying “that’s from Goodfellas but it’s actually gangster” and my take away was that the environment will never be fixed, we’re all too stupid.
