Francis Ford Coppola Calls Martin Scorsese the ‘World’s Greatest Living Filmmaker’
share
Im not biggest Stanley Kubrick fan. I would put him over Scorsese. At least the guy dip into ever single movie genre there was. Scoresees stays his safe zone movies about mobsters and assholes. Hell i think Hitchcock was better.
shareThere are no mobsters in Shutter Island, The King of Comedy, Hugo, Silence, Bringing Out the Dead, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Aviator, The Age of Innocence, Kundun, After Hours, The Last Temptation of Christ, The Color of Money, Boxcar Bertha, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, Who's That Knocking at My Door, New York, New York. These are some examples of Scorsese movies that are not a mobster movie, as you can clearly see, he's a great and very versatile living filmmaker.
shareUnlike Spielberg, who did every genre, Scorsese never did Sci-Fi and horror.
shareSpielberg never did an organized crime movie. Scorsese is an expert in organized crime movies and Spielberg is an expert in science fiction movies. Both guys are very versatile filmmakers and both are equally the world's greatest living directors.
share"Organized crime" isn't a genre, "crime" is a genre, which Spielberg did some.
shareWhat's your point? Are you trying to say Spielberg is a superior filmmaker and he is the world's greatest living director?
shareNo, I don't think Spielberg is better or is the best, I just agree "Scoresees stays his safe zone movies about mobsters and assholes." Which is true, unlike Spielberg or Kubrick.
shareScorsese made plenty of movies that are not "safe zone movies about mobsters...". There are no mobsters in Shutter Island, The King of Comedy, Hugo, Silence, Bringing Out the Dead, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Aviator, The Age of Innocence, Kundun, After Hours, The Last Temptation of Christ, The Color of Money, Boxcar Bertha, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, Who's That Knocking at My Door, New York, New York. These are some examples of Scorsese movies that are not a mobster movie, as you can clearly see, he's a great and very versatile living filmmaker.
shareSome of the movies were about assholes: The King of Comedy, The Aviator, The Last Temptation of Christ. My point is: they might be not about mobsters and assholes, but their genres are mostly the same: drama or biopic.

'World's greatest living filmmaker' was the claim.
You've picked two filmmakers who may or may not be better than Scorsese. But they're both definitely dead.
Did you even read the title? Kubrick and Hitchcock are dead.
