scorsese's passion is clearly evident in all his movies, same in this case...

to enjoy and understand this movie, one has to view it differently and there are certain requirements and they are, u has to be a fan of scorsese films, u must have observed and analysed his films...

the requirements are because this is a musical film and it might not be one of the best musical films made but this is a martin scorsese's musical film and that is the whole point, marty doing a musical, it may sound ironical but that's the beauty, he did musical...

basically i don't like musicals, in fact i hate it but it is not in this case , i watched it, i liked it and i am going to watch it again bec i liked it. there is a misconception in audience that marty is good in gangster films alone but it is not like that bec he is the one who experimented himself in all kind of films, he did sports movie, periodic pieces, noir, biographical films, in fact comedy too, so is now; a musical...

believe me, i never imagined a musical like this, u can see only in marty's films using intellectual camera movements, using more reds and other contrasty colors and the characterisation of the lead characters, usually in musicals u cant see deep emotional complexed characters, so the description goes on...

Bottom Line - a MARTIN SCORSESE'S MUSICAL....
