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 agree, not his fault. And yet I think an unfortunate reality that comes w/living in a society that normalizes patriarchy, toxic masculinity, misogyny, and so on to such a degree, is that what read to some of us as obvious critiques reads to others as "just the way things are."
