I think Scorsese makes films with a vocabulary that really doesn't appeal very much to me. I'll watch a Scorsese movie and say "the acting was good, the plot was good, the cinematography was good, but I didn't really feel anything or feel like I got anything out of it." Gangs of New York and Raging Bull both were like that for me. I liked the new one in that I did care about the characters and it was suspenseful, but I still felt pretty unaffected by it.
