I'm not a fan of formulaic things, on the whole; film, music, etc., I just don't care for any of it and Scorsese is the king of formulaic.
He also ripped off Infernal Affairs (the Departed) and will never own up to it, so he can go kick rocks.
It's why I can appreciate Silence; apart from it dripping with Catholicism and Japan (2 of my favourite things lol), he didn't cast/use any family or rehash actors on the project, he didn't go through his normal use of contemporary music and he actually did a film not based in modern times.
He hit it out of the park. I can't call him a, "bad," director as a result, because he did something out of his comfort zone and it is probably his best film (from a quality/critical standpoint).
Just formulaic to death and I can't stand it lol
In the Catholic vein, did you happen to watch Midnight Mass on Netflix?
