      Atypical Martin Scorsese Videos

      Martin Scorsese, who has made several rock music documentaries, also clearly loves jazz, so the protagonists of his films are not just violent and restless gangsters. In 1974, "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" with the theme of everyday little people, the performance and lines can be regarded as the model of similar films. Watching American life in the 1970s always entertains me, whether it's the colorful motel walls or the gorgeous dresses of the heroines, all of which evolve into chunks of...

      "Goodbye Alice": a warm and romantic story

      The movie is still from director Martin Scorsese , but it's obviously not his usual style, but it's a good story.

      The protagonist of the story is Alice , who was born in Vermont and loved to sing since she was a child. Later, she married to the state of Mexico and became a housewife, and she stopped singing. There...

      The troublemaker in this world

      Martin Scorsese made a movie called "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore". I really like a little girl in it. She was only a supporting character, played by Jodie Foster (later famous for her role as abducted teenage prostitute Iris in Martin's Car Driver).

      She was a little girl, but she looked like a boy, acted like an adult, and acted like a freak. She taught another little boy to drink alcohol, and taught him to steal guitar strings from the musical instrument store. When they were...

      A glimpse of Jodie Foster

      On the relaunched DVD, Martin Scorsese and Ellen Burstyn give behind-the-scenes commentary about the production process. Actress Ellen Bostin has a great deal of production power after performing and selling the blockbuster "The Archmage". She picked this feminist script and asked Francis. Ford. Coppola recommended a new director, and he suggested Martin Scorsese, who was just famous for Cruel Street. Ellen Bosteen likes his works, but I don't know if he can master female themes and require the...

      Golden Strawberry: It is still too mediocre and awkward on the whole to review. The son who inherits his mother's neuroticism is actually the same as his mother, who has many difficulties in finding the happiness that can only be given by a third party. The dilemma in career and love is a portrayal of ordinary people's ups and downs. Sensitive, fragile and mediocre, it is easy to get sympathy, but it is always difficult to empathize. Martin is still struggling to handle this subject...

      There is a hidden joy in the English title. But why is it "once in the sea"? That year, the Oscar-winning actress, but the heroine's performance is not as good as this year's Cate Blanchett, or even as her child. Is that blond freckled "little girl" Judy Fords? ! Now the meaning of female liberation in Disney animation is more obvious than this film that gently asks women how to achieve happiness. What am I still hesitating...

    Evaluation action

    The film opens with a parody of Hollywood's fantasy world. There are scenes where the audience takes Alice and her journey very seriously, there are some harrowing reality scenes, and there are others (including some hilarious moments where she waits for a table in the restaurant) which are downplayed by the director Exaggerated. Indeed, at times, the film does not seem to be about Alice, but about the speculations and daydreams about...

    Movie quotes

    • Store Clerk: You're sure laying the money out for meat. Company coming?

      Alice: No, my husband hates me and I'm trying to get him to chase me around the bedroom.

    • Bea: I sure couldn't live without some kind of man around the house.

      Alice: Oh, I could!

      Bea: And neither could you.

      Alice: Oh, yes, I could!

      Bea: No, you couldn't.

      Alice: Oh, yes, I could!

      Bea: Oh, no you couldn't.

      Alice: Easy. I could be just as happy if I never saw one again, ever. Of course, I don't know, it might be different if I ever, you know, if I met a man like Robert Redford. I mean, that could be different.

      Bea: I'll bet it's different.

      Alice: You know, he wouldn't be the kind of man that would roll over and go to sleep as soon as he's finished. And he'd be very gentle.

      Bea: Listen, I wonder what kind of build he's got on him.

      Alice: Did you ever see his feet?

      Bea: Feet?

      Alice: I heard one time that's supposed to be an indication.

      [phone rings]

      Alice: Excuse me.

      Bea: [Thinks intently] Oh, I saw a picture. They're huge!

    • Alice: [singing] When you're awake the things you think, Come from the dreams you dream, Thought has wings, and lots of things, Are seldom what they seem, Sometimes you think you've lived before, All that you live today, Things you do come back to you, As though they knew the way, Oh the tricks your mind can play, It seems we stood and talked like this, before, We've looked at each other in the same way then, But I can't remember where or when...
