Martin Scorsese

[Roshan]

Here are his top ten. I also saw Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. Most of the others I've seen clips of and heard a lot about but don't think I ever actually watched in full.

[Roshan]

He seems to deal with a lot of beta (with a dollop of gamma) scenarios like gang and crime kingpins and such. Not Alice though, not Alice. But Alice just picked up and ran away from a threatening man with her son and she had to go HOME (Si seeking). There she finds the UNabusive man she gets involved with CAN be seen as abusive in how he wants to discipline her (as I recall very proto-geeky) son.

"Evolutionary Alpha" is my guess so far. tbcd

[Roshan]

He seems to perhaps grapple doggedly with the problem of Se.

I mostly went back and forth between NeTi and TeNi but either as polr was hard for me to see soo NeFi?

not Ti polr either though that's harder

Well he's highly unlikely to be Si PolR with the KIND of warmth he exudes especially when older, and his youthful documentary about his family seems absolute Si valuing to me.
Yes. When older he seems very much like an Si lead too.

But why not very healthy Fi PolR? His two films I know best, Taxi Driver and Gangs of New York, are about the INABILITY to truly engage Fi (the taxi driver is a Don Quixote crusader SEPARATED by his own Ti, and in Gangs of New York there is the INABILITY to avoid the pull of the Fe crowd--its characters CANNOT escape this fate).

Right. It also fits with his obsession with the downfall arc of his characters.
The sway of the crowd and the lifestyle.

He seems to perhaps grapple doggedly with the problem of Se.

"'You don't make up for your sins in church. You do it in the streets. You do it at home. The rest is bullshit and you know it.'"

[Roshan]

There seems to be a lot of 'Si seeking'. Looking for safety.

But in Fe/Se it doesn't work.

(edit: posts crossed and ditto and yeah).

[e-ssam]

At times he seems almost Fi seeking yet his gateway to Fi IS the visceral.

It's why he had to bring Christ down to the lowest levels of Earth.

[e-ssam]

Now, the argument for front stack Fi could mostly come from his fixation on that journey and on morality.

But yep, Quixotes.

[Roshan]

A point of departure to take off and discuss, to make our lives a little more meaningful, that's why I made Kazantzakis' Last Temptation into a movie.

btw Kazantzakis was a big influence on me when I was young and I typed him recently, almost positive NiTe (e.g. All those who actually live the mysteries of life haven't the time to write, and all those who have the time don't live them! D'you see?)

Which would support the old ChestnuT typology adage that contraries work best separate from the group.

Scorsese founded The Film Foundation in 1990 and later the World Cinema Foundation in 2007 in order to restore film prints from around the globe and to "keep the film heritage alive".
