      love being subjected to the conversation "Scorsese thinks the bad people in his movies are actually cool & good" every time Scorsese makes a new film, or even when he doesn't. absolutely love 2 constantly relitigate this.

      I mean, I understand depiction isn't endorsement. But I also understand we live in a reality where other folks will look at his gangster films & see the behaviors there as worthy of admiration & emulation, regardless of his intent. Cultural impact needs to be part of these convos

      There is always the possibility an audience will misinterpret a film, which should cause reflection on a creators part, but is it useful to give credence to that misinterpretation? It’s worth examining the misinterpretation happened, but shouldn’t we also point out its wrongness?

      Yes, we absolutely should point out its wrongness. I just don't think we should deny that such cultural impact takes place, however much it may be rooted in "bad readings" by audience members predisposed to loving violence or misogyny or whatever the case may be.

      well, I was talking very specifically about shit like this - a person whose bad reading has nothing to do with being predisposed to loving violence or misogyny. she's not saying, "I'm worried other people misunderstand this movie" - she misunderstands ithttps://twitter.com/faceyouhate/status/1181664830819897345 …

      I don't know. I guess I just think that...if we're worried about people misinterpreting Scorsese and glorifying gangsters, it's definitely not helpful when folks who should know better willfully misread his intent & agree with creeps who think he's celebrating violence & misogyny

      I guess if I thought it were a very small handful of people who do that, I'd agree with you. But when the reality is that vast swaths of men who watch such films see in the gangsters something worth admiring and emulating, we also need to ask why.

          Cynically I would agree, but I would wanna see stats to back up “vast swaths.” I have personally met far fewer people who view films like Goodfellas as portraying something aspirational than people who understand them as being cautious or condemnatory of that lifestyle.

          How about hip-hop and Scarface? I know it's not Scorcese, but it is about the rise of a violent gangster and has been aspirational to many.https://www.sbs.com.au/movies/article/2017/04/26/scarfaces-impact-hip-hop-culture …

          There is a not insignificant contingent of Star Trek fans who get mad when the shows get “too diverse”. When Star Trek’s core concept is too subtle for some people I think it’s the men who are the problem not the films.

          I know you mean well but this “cultural impact” line of reasoning equals “no one is as smart as me” and that’s lame
