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'm not advocating for art that overtly moralizes. Just for room to acknowledge in our conversations & critiques that we live in a culture that already loves male violence and domination and so sometimes art, even great art, inadvertently helps to maintain a fucked up status quo.
