1
Taxi Driver, who the hell else are you talking to me?
2
It really goes back to Brian De Palma.
3
Independent cinema in Hollywood started saying, hey, maybe these indie films could, these kids could work in the industry.
4
And so we were all out in L .A.
5
And he introduced me to Paul Schrader.
6
Schrader wrote Taxi Driver.
7
Travis comes from his vision, but more psyche.
8
I connected with it through Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground it was like enlightening you know
9
and so for me
10
when i read the script brian gave it to me he
11
said you know i can't i don't want to do it i can't do it
12
but maybe you should do it
13
but i didn't have enough cachet as they say at
14
that time to make the picture
15
but then they saw the rough cut of main streets
16
and they changed their mind especially when they saw de niro in it and
17
so they said for the two of you we could probably
18
get this film made why won't you talk to me why Why don't you answer my calls when I call you?
19
You think I don't know you're here?
20
We kept thinking in terms of the character and his loneliness and his acting out.
21
Not condoning the acting out, but he does act out.
22
And yet, an empathy with him, which is really tricky.
23
We wanted to make it so badly nobody would make it
24
that we were thinking of going to different cities to make it San Francisco, Los Angeles.
25
The taxi driving wasn't the same.
26
And we said, no, it has to be Manhattan.
27
Ultimately, what stayed with us was the psychological and emotional state of that character.
28
As we know now, tragically, it's a norm.
29
Every other person is like Travis Bickle now.
30
For me, the visualization of the movie was to always try to keep you off balance, keep the audience off balance.
31
I felt that when he made that phone call, it was so painful, we shouldn't witness it.
32
So the camera should track away, but not pan away.
33
It should move completely to a hallway.
34
And in the hallway, you think somebody's coming, but nobody's gonna come.
35
Nothing's gonna happen.
36
we're all alone but we don't want to experience the depth of his pain at that point
37
and at the same time there's a sense of anxiety on
38
the viewer what's gonna happen in the hallway well apparently nothing
39
that was the first shot I came up I said that's
40
the style there's another thing too with a taxi pulls up
41
at the beginning of the film into the taxi garage taxi
42
is coming in with panning with it as it comes in
43
and normally it goes this way in the camera with pan with it
44
and it stops well as it came in i went the other way
45
and as we rested the car came in
46
and stopped wait i'm supposed to be looking at the car no we're gonna go another way
47
and so every shot as much as possible was uh designed to be slightly disconcerting
48
but ultimately ultimately satisfying that was the philosophy of the shooting
49
Gangs of New York Us natives born rightwise to this fine land For the foreign hordes,
50
they're filing it
51
Well, Gangs of New York comes out of those cobblestone streets Around the church on Mott Street
52
and Mulberry Street And also coming off the other element
53
that I grew up with Really was the Bowery At
54
that time the Bowery was what you call now homeless At
55
that time really basically alcoholics Guys dying in the streets basically very very difficult place to grow up around
56
and in and so but there was something about that bowery
57
and something about the neighborhood and the way the buildings were
58
created in the cellars the cellars there's so many cellars and my father would talk about growing up
59
there and going into one building going down the cellar
60
and coming out two blocks away running away from the cops
61
some of the guys you know it had its own life
62
and it was like an organism
63
and it had a history with Leo DiCaprio was interesting
64
because De Niro we were acquainted with each other
65
when we're 16 years old so because of my relationship with him going back to
66
when we were 16 he experienced what I experienced growing up
67
so he's the only one I know who around who's around
68
that and who was working in that capacity
69
that knows who I am where I came from
70
and the world we were in he then called me
71
and said at one point he just made a film called this boy's life
72
and he was working with this kid
73
that he he cast named leo dicaprio he's very good you got to do work with him someday
74
and bob never really used to tell me
75
that work with somebody you know just we'd go from picture to picture
76
if we work together dicaprio uh liked our pictures came together
77
and they said why don't we you've always wanted to do gangs in new york a bit
78
we started it many times it got cancelled here's a chance
79
this kid leo dicaprio really likes your films at least meet with him
80
and he was willing to go whatever i could do to make
81
that film so that's how it all started with him coming off of titanic
82
and a couple of other films then we convinced daniel day to get into it as bill the butcher
83
and daniel day is very intense and very specific actor.
84
What I love about
85
working with him is that Daniel has a thing where
86
if he starts he stays in that character people think it's kind of a mystique
87
but it really makes sense and also because
88
if I'm talking to Bill the Butcher
89
and in between takes it's Daniel I'm still talking to Bill he stays in
90
that character and he'll be one of the other actors Irish
91
and he's not supposed to like the Irish and you know he treats
92
that person that way I don't give a tough any fuck about your moral conundrum you meat -headed shitsack.
93
They said, why is he asking that?
94
That's what that is, just, we're not playing.
95
I mean, we're playing, but we're living it.
96
And so he's very good that way.
97
DiCaprio's another way entirely, and he comes at a character from every possible angle, and we find that with Leo,
98
most of the work is done before we shoot.
99
Goodfellas.
100
As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.
101
Goodfellas was made 18 years after Mean Streets.
102
I didn't really want to go to do another genre, gangster genre, right?
103
I mean, there is no main character.
104
I mean, Ray Liotta is a wonderful actor, but he's like Virgil taking Dante through the underworld.
105
The real character in the movie is the underworld.
106
After doing the film Last Temptation of Christ, when I got back, I owed Warner Brothers Goodfellas, or became Goodfellas.
107
It was called Wise Guys at the time.
108
I didn't really almost didn't want to make it.
109
It was Michael Powell, the director of the Red Shoes, co -director, I should say, and other masterpieces who read the script and insisted I make it.
110
Every shot may feel like a documentary, but the camera moves, everything you see,
111
it's all clearly, it's all there in the script we had to stage bits of action Joe Reedy did
112
and Michael Ballhaus my cameraman they worked out all the background
113
action for the long Copacabana shot all I said was we
114
start out in the front he gives the guy the money
115
next thing you know we go through the thing we go
116
through here we go through here we go through here we
117
go you know we wind up on it the famous comic
118
Henny Youngman everything has to flow with no obstruction he's got
119
to impress her they send him bottles of champagne everybody knows
120
that's his height so
121
that shot had to be now I wanted Joe Pesci to be in the film
122
and I think he resisted it I know he resisted it he said I don't know gangster stuff and yeah
123
but Joey said this character is really interesting based on a real real guy he said well I
124
if you do it I gotta tell you something
125
and I said well what is it because not here
126
and he acted out this scene
127
that happened to him i knew exactly where to put it went through the scene over
128
and over again recorded it all each take
129
and then i created from the actor's improvisations and try to make sure
130
that it accelerated the right way
131
because the slightest change you know of like why am i
132
funny what do you mean i'm funny i'm not funny otherwise
133
it'd be just repetitious funny like i'm a clown i amuse
134
you i make you laugh i'm here to fucking amuse you what do you mean funny funny how how am i funny.
135
And I decided we'd just do it with two cameras.
136
We squeeze it in on a day that wasn't scheduled.
137
The two cameras would be medium -wide shots because it was important to see, not just, there are no close -ups,
138
it was important to see Joe's character and Ray's character in relation to the people around them.
139
And while the intensity builds, you see the body language of everybody around them change.
140
And it just happens.
141
And I said, well, that's even better.
142
So close -ups, No, let's get out of here.
143
You know, we shot it like in an hour and a half.
144
Improvised, too, with the bottle breaking on Tony Darrow's head and that sort of thing.
145
He had the nerve to ask to pay the bill.
146
The Departed.
147
Those guys you tuned up, they're connected down Providence.
148
What they're going to do is come back with some guys and kill you.
149
I always wanted to work with Jack Nicholson and be in a film and offered him the part and then he said, you know, give me something to play.
150
And he was right.
151
Because the way the script was, Bill Monahan's script, which is a very good script, but the character of Costello was still presented as your generic big shot gangster.
152
He hears this young kid in town who just beat up somebody in a bar, he calls him in, checks him out, and then he says, come and talk to me.
153
Because he looks at him and says, maybe I can use this kid.
154
We've seen that scene many times in Westerns and gangster films because it's very truthful.
155
That's what happens You could do it in business to suddenly make a big hit with something
156
and everybody calls you
157
And they want to see what you could do for them in this case It's the underworld
158
and there was a scene where he's eating a lobster lunch.
159
It said in his apartment And he has this kid coming the basic line was what can you do for me?
160
Well, you want to work with me or tough guy?
161
What can you do for me?
162
I'd seen that scene many times and Nicholson said what if call me he said what if while we're at lunch,
163
on the table in a little plastic bag is a severed human hand.
164
I said, now that's a job interview.
165
And you never mention it.
166
Don't even discuss it.
167
We went off on a whirlwind of the fact that Costello would be losing control, and in a sense, losing his mind, really.
168
That's something that was very controversial at the time.
169
Some people went with it, some didn't.
170
But the thing was that I was around a situation like that when I was growing up, where somebody very powerful who was eventually killed in 1968 was,
171
in effect, losing his mind and killing people.
172
An atmosphere of fear that I saw around that area that was what I wanted to capture and departed.
173
Worse than that, these guys were all informers on each other.
174
And it's true in a world where everyone is informing on each other now.
175
Complain about the guy, oh, he's out of his mind, he's overdoing.
176
No, imagine that's, in effect, what it would be like you're completely under his control and he's out of his mind.
177
And that's what I feel the world is like right now.
178
Raging Bull.
179
Jimmy, with everything you got, I want you to fucking lay me out.
180
Go ahead.
181
You sure?
182
Yeah.
183
All right.
184
Honor.
185
The 70s studio system changed a great deal and the week
186
that film was released was the same week from the same studio that Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate opened.
187
That, A Raging Bull, Apocalypse Now, all from the same studio, United Artists, that ended what the 70s, they call this, you know, golden age, that sort of,
188
but really it ended the power of the director, in a way, in American filmmaking.
189
And that had to come back through independent cinema, another way, through the 80s.
190
The 70s was very much that way because things were wide open.
191
And we went in and we took it, like the barbarians at the gate, and we transformed whatever we could, but they caught us.
192
Raging Bull was a, we threw everything we knew into it, not knowing how it was going to be received.
193
We understood that people didn't like him and even the crew, it turned out.
194
I didn't know until later.
195
Why are we making a film about this guy?
196
He's a horror.
197
But we stayed with it.
198
This man may be this way, but still, he's a human being, he's got a heart, he's got a soul.
199
By the end of it, he finds some kind of peace with himself and maybe the others around him.
200
I think I was going there to try to find peace in myself
201
that year there were I think four more films coming out
202
about boxing the main event with Barbra Streisand prizefighter with Tim Conway
203
Matilda the boxing kangaroo and Rocky 2 also
204
and they were all in color that's when I realized
205
that we should go black and white and also the black
206
and white would work at distinctively different from the other boxing films
207
that were being made comedies and Rocky 2
208
and also Erwin Winkle pointed out to the studio that the films
209
that were made in black and white up to that point in the 70s were Paper Moon and Lenny, and they were hits.
210
I also thought, too, that the boxing scenes had to be very powerful.
211
The rest of the film, anything else, was concentrated in an almost meditative state in terms of framing, holding those people in that frame.
212
But the boxing scenes would be like you're on another planet.
213
Primarily, it was based on, I came up with the idea when I I was doing last waltz, being on the stage with the band, and watching how the band worked.
214
The ballet sequences from Red Shoes, where you don't really necessarily go head to toe, where you see the dancer.
215
Instead, you see what's inside the mind of the dancer.
216
What's in the mind, and what's the perception of the fighter in the ring?
217
They don't even know where they are sometimes.
218
The Wolf of Wall Street.
219
They're gonna need to send in the National Guard of fucking Swart Team, because I ain't going no way!
220
Again, like Raging Bull, I didn't want to make it, but I had to find my own way in it.
221
And a lot of it had to do with style.
222
The style, I felt, originally was more like Goodfellas.
223
I had done it.
224
And I did it again in Casino.
225
What more could I bring to it?
226
And we found a way, and that was ultimately through his character.
227
And the whole idea of untethered capitalism.
228
This is the spirit of it.
229
Anything goes because you're making money.
230
It doesn't matter.
231
That's a little bit that way too in casino, but casino has organized crime.
232
It's a different thing This is organized another way and
233
so with that understanding then I was able to play with the structure of it and make it
234
Right away first three or four minutes of the film you could see right away.
235
This is going to be something unexpected
236
Like every other shot something the shocking going on in a way
237
or supposedly shocking in order to do that You have to have somebody who's playing that part
238
Be prepared to do anything
239
and he did I would provoke him he provoked me would go further But if you read the book, we could have gone even further.
240
Mean Streets.
241
Hey, hey, hey, what's the matter with this kid, huh?
242
Hey, there ain't nothing wrong with me, my friend.
243
I'm feeling fine.
244
Keep your mouth shut.
245
Hey, you taught me that in front of this asshole.
246
I was living in the late 50s into the early 60s
247
down in my old neighborhood of what they used to call Little Italy.
248
At that time, it really was Little Italy.
249
Families were loving, but you know, it was the tenements and it was not a really good place.
250
And they were good people, but at the same time, it was steeped in a kind of organized crime.
251
Mean Streets comes out of that violence, which I missed by chance, really.
252
Now's the time.
253
I was with these people in this car.
254
I told my friend who was with me in the backseat.
255
I said, oh, it's two o 'clock in the morning.
256
This is nonsense.
257
Let's go home.
258
He says, yeah, yeah, okay, let's go home.
259
The car drove off and they got shot.
260
It had to do with a lot of street power, so to speak, a sense of certain rules that the underworld works with.
261
And a lot of it had to do with, am I my brother's keeper?
262
It also reflects my father and his youngest brother.
263
My father was one of eight children.
264
His youngest brother was always in jail, always in trouble.
265
And my father was always trying to broker situations where he wouldn't get killed.
266
He has about $30.
267
He's always got honor, Michael.
268
where's the rest yeah where's the rest the extent to
269
which one is your real brother or one is such a close friend
270
that you put yourself on the line is something that's really
271
important to me in terms of how you live a life
272
and try to live a good moral life but you're in a world
273
that is completely corrupt you don't make up for your sins in the church
274
you do it in the streets you do it at home
275
and that's that's the essence of mean streets that's what I talk about in the beginning.
276
You know, you can go to church all you want, but the real acting out of your morality is outside the church.
277
It's outside the building of the church.
278
It's in the home.
279
It's with your friends and that.
280
All the rest is an illusion.
281
I was five years old in New York.
282
It was late 40s.
283
We had a television 16 inch.
284
On Friday nights, there was an Italian film shown for the Italian American community.
285
And my grandparents would come over and they didn't speak English only Sicilian
286
and my mother and father my uncles
287
and we get around this little TV set
288
and we see the bicycle thief it had these words in the bottom the people
289
that were speaking in the film they were speaking the same
290
way as my family those Italian films were more than cinema they were a form of truth
291
that I related to
292
because it it somehow had something to do with who I who I am and
293
so no matter what I shoot it isn't directly saying oh
294
look we're gonna do a shot now from the bicycle thief no it's the emotional
295
and and psychological impact of experiencing that film when I was five
296
or six in the room with these people who lived it
297
the Irishman I don't know it sounds funny that stops and starts it loses Over the years,
298
seeing the difference in the technology, one of the key things to give us the energy to
299
make our first film's features was John Cassavetes doing Shadows in 16mm, which came from France with the Eclair camera.
300
So all of that happening at that time made it that we could make a film ourselves.
301
We didn't have to have the studio behind us with giant lights and giant Mitchell BNCs.
302
I've kind of stayed pretty much traditional we edit now with the computer
303
but I don't really know how to do that Thelma does it
304
if I can utilize the new technology for the kind of story I want to make why not go there
305
and so in the case of Irishman De Niro
306
and I had this idea for a long time
307
and again I didn't want to do another gangster genre part of the problem was flashbacks
308
and by the time we got to do it he was too old to play his younger self
309
and they said well a different actor and I said what's then it's not like us making a film together.
310
What's the point?
311
And so we were talking about this idea of youthification
312
and Pablo Herrmann of ILM was with us doing CGI or background material for us in Taiwan where we're doing silence.
313
And he came up and he said, I think I can do it.
314
What I have seen is that people have to wear golf balls on their faces.
315
You can't have a scene with Joe Pesci and Bob De Niro and Al Pacino or whatever.
316
They all have golf balls on their faces and they're the kinds of actors that, that kind of thing for this kind of movie.
317
It doesn't work.
318
And eventually, by the end of the shoot of Silence, he had it.
319
And we did a test with Bob and De Niro, and we tried it, and we all felt strongly about it.
320
The drawback was the, financially, because it was extremely expensive, and also length of time.
321
It was an extra five to six months in the post -production.
322
That's when Netflix came in and really helped us.
323
It's not just CGI.
324
We accept it if a person puts on a fat suit, or you paint their hair white, they're supposed to be old but what if you do it digitally?
325
It's like makeup.
326
It's just taking that leap of saying, oh, no, it's gotta be the old way to, this is now a transformation into a new way.
327
Silence.
328
Things that happen When I was making Last Temptation, that took me only up to a certain point.
329
I found myself wanting more, and I found it in silence.
330
And when I read the book, I was in Japan, actually.
331
It was 1989, and I tried to write a version of the script with my friend Jay Cox by 1990, 92.
332
But I didn't get it, and it took me years, another 10, 12 years, to live a life and experience with different exploration going,
333
making Kundun, for example, on the Dalai Lama, all of these things.
334
And finally, by around 2006, 2007, I was able to put the script together.
335
I felt that we could do it.
336
Too many technical business problems.
337
It almost made it impossible to get made, but eventually it did.
338
Ang Lee's group helped us to shoot in Taiwan, you know.
339
A special experience for the entire crew making the film.
340
The locations, the people, the scenes themselves, the Japanese actors.
341
I mean, it was really a kind of spiritual journey.
342
Killers of the Flower Moon.
343
Their time is over.
344
This has taken six years.
345
We didn't intend to take it six years, but I was making The Irishman, and then there was COVID.
346
I was given the book and read the book, and I was very excited by that.
347
I didn't quite know how to go about it.
348
Eric Roth and I went through a process of a few years of pulling the script together and the story, and there were some wonderful things in it.
349
We got it to a point where we said, let's sit down and read this thing.
350
I got some friends, and we sat down, and Leo was there, Eric was good, but there was something about it that I felt we'd been there before,
351
and that was the idea of a police procedural.
352
And the character that he was supposed to play, Tom White, was a character that is straight -laced, you know, very strong, very proper guy.
353
And so we thought about it for another week and a half, and then Leo came to me, said, where's the real, he came to me, he said, where's the real heart of this picture?
354
I said, the heart is with this guy, Ernest, and his wife, Molly.
355
The only problem is we don't know anything about Ernest everybody
356
else you've got tons of material on we don't know anything about them
357
so we came up with the idea of what
358
if instead of coming from the outside in what
359
if we go from the inside out then i said oh yeah the story really is the relationship of ernest
360
and molly and the betrayal i said the only problem there is
361
that it's a creative problem which is you take the script you turn inside out
362
and how much of procedural do you need not very much
363
it started to come together it gave me the direction

I would love that, but I've seen it, and they did it so much better.

So here, though, you're in the house, and there's a husband and wife, and this guy is dodgy.

He's being manipulated by this sort of angel of death, his uncle.

but then I saw the scene from certain women Kelly Reichardt's film I thought she was wonderful
377
and after COVID we got to meet I was struck by the whole visage the face
378
and her intelligence one could see that there's a lot going on in her face

but they're not doing very much which is perfect for film acting also the intelligence

and level of understanding and coming from indigenous people

Bu Video Kimin İçin?
İngilizceyi konuşma ve dinleme becerilerini geliştirmek isteyen, özellikle film ve sanat dünyasıyla ilgili derinlemesine diyaloglar üzerinde çalışmak isteyen orta ve ileri seviye öğrenenler için mükemmel bir kaynak. Özellikle gölge konuşmaları tekniğiyle çalışmak veya doğal İngilizce telaffuzu geliştirmek amacıyla shadowing yapmak isteyenler, bu videoda zengin bir materyal bulacaklar. Martin Scorsese'nin yavaş, düşünceli konuşma tarzı, anlamayı ve takip etmeyi kolaylaştırırken, içerdiği detaylı anlatılar da kelime dağarcığını genişletir.
Kullanıma Değer Kelimeler ve İfadeler
Video, günlük konuşmada sık kullanılan ancak kitaplarda az rastlanan ifadeler içerir. Örneğin:
- Cachet: "Etkileyici bir statü" anlamına gelir. "O zamanki benim yeterli cachetim yoktu" cümlesinde kullanılmıştır.
- Act out: "Dışa vurmak, davranarak ifade etmek" demektir. Scorsese, Travis'ın duygularını "act out" ettiğini belirtir.
- Off balance: "Dengesiz, rahatsız" anlamında. "İzleyiciyi off balance tutmak" hedefiyle çekimler planlanmıştır.
Telaffuzu Nasıl Doğru Yaparız?
Scorsese'nin telaffuzu, yavaş tempolu ve vurgulu bir Amerikan aksanı taşımaktadır. Önemli noktalar:
- Vurgular: "Psychological", "emotional" gibi kelimelerde "o" sesini uzun ve belirgin şekilde söylemesi. Bu vurguları takip ederek İngilizce telaffuzu geliştirmek mümkündür.
- Duraklamalar: Düşünürken yaptığı kısa duraklamalar, konuşmanın doğal olduğunu gösterir. Shadowing yaparken bu duraklamaları da kopyalamak önemli.
- Gölgeleme tekniği: Videoyu yavaşlatarak tekrar tekrar dinlemek, ardından Scorsese'nin konuşmasını aynen tekrarlamak (gölge konuşması) sayesinde aksan ve ritim kazanabilirsiniz.
Bu videodaki dil bilgisi
Konuşmacının en çok kullandığı yapılar, videodaki sözcüklerin aynısıyla:
| Yapı | Videoda |
|---|---|
| “Used to” used to + fiil — artık geçerli olmayan eski bir alışkanlık ya da durum | used to tell · used to call |
| Edilgen yapı be + fiilin üçüncü hâli — kimin yaptığı değil, ne olduğu önemli | were acquainted · was made · was called |
| Present perfect have/has + fiilin üçüncü hâli — geçmişte olan ama şimdi de önemli olan bir eylem | you've always wanted · We've seen · has organized |
| İlgi cümlecikleri who / which + cümle — bir kişi ya da şey hakkında ek bilgi | him, which is · script, which is · friend who was |
Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
