Wouldn’t the antagonist be the cake? Considering that’s the representation of the birthday, which is the representation of life and aging, which eventually results in death?
Imagine being a commercial director and having to direct Martin Scorsese. In my head he would constantly tell you how to do it better, sounds like an exhausting but interesting job
Honestly I don’t know if he would. He has great respect for actors and when he is one (and not in his own film) he’s probably just being an actor, knowing that a know-it-all actor telling the director what to do would cause a lot of trouble on set and needlessly extend production time. Unless he’s also producer, then there’s a loophole…
He absolutely wouldn't, he's a professional who knows that set time is extremely precious, he doesn't have all day and he's there to have fun in the actor's role. Have been in the entertainment industry all my life and those people are *everything* but their stereotypes. Co-managing a multi-million dollars budget while directing a bunch of hypersensitive people (by definition, I'm an actor too sometimes, that's how it is) and super-perfectionists everywhere requires as many seconds of your perfectly focused attention as you could ever get. These people work 15, sometimes up to 20 hours a day, for 2, 3, 6 months in a row, maybe even a year. Contrary to actors (who mostly are like that anyway) they can't come there late or anything. Trust me, being a director at this level is literally the furthest thing from the snot-nosed artsy author stereotype going 'round bossing people randomly. The industry is a lot more simple than people think... it's just insanely high standard, really. The essentials about making movies and acting remain the exact same, if you're a talented actor or director out of Hollywood, you can be a talented one in Hollywood, if you survive the pressure and the networking. That's really it.
0:50 "Too literal, too violent, too metaphorical, too dark" prove that you can't please all critics, the guy who acted in this commercial with Marty sure felt lucky.
nah photographers are pretentious trash. every "photographer" ive met posts pictures of trees with every editing effect they can muster on create pro. film makers arent just glorified photographers. they have to be writers, actors, and leaders. ofc the camera is there too but its useless without the imagination.
completely untrue.. your cinematographer perhaps should be.. but as a director, you should know drama, conflict, psychology, society, human nature, music, literature, rhythm, and have an abundance of sympathy, and finally have a vision.. if you have all that.. you may start without knowing a jot of photography
That's dumb. Dogmatic mindsets like that are driven by ego. Any true film maker will tell you that to be a filmmaker, is simply to have the drive to make a film, that's the only thing that defines a filmmaker.
"I mean it was very easy to do because basically you gotta...ughpff...otherwise..y-you...ugh...otherwise you know i-it's just...there...oh god you take your...take myself too...the word is seriously I guess, but you know the damn thing is you gotta me serious about making a picture." - Martin Scorsese
@@jackmace6531 I think the reason he was stammering is because he realized what he was saying seemed to confirm the stereotype about himself caricatured in the commercial, that he's a somewhat pretentious perfectionist who's too serious about his own movies, and he tried to dance around it before finally just accepting it and embracing it at the end.
he's one of those types that has to stammer around in interviews instead of just getting to the point presumably he's different on set or it must be a goddamn nightmare to work under him
He's got a great sense of humor I thought I was completely done but then he drops the line " how would you like to be five again? " 🤣 Absolutely love this 😂
1:09 "I mean it was very easy to do because, basically you gotta chskhshca otherwise yo-you ackhs otherwise you know you you you just- there- you know- God you take yours- eh eh- take myself too-. The word is seriously I guess." - Martin Scorsese
Orangeflava man I've been living under a rock apparently.... It's like I've just discovered oil!! Do you recall the exact year you saw this? Looks like early 2000s to me
A lot of space in the frame is left above characters heads, I think this is to imply a sense of ‘thought’ as thoughts are often depicted as occurring above people’s heads - it’s like there’s an internal dialog happening as well as the words spoken on screen
Truth be told this is the first time I’ve ever heard Scorseses voice and I couldn’t help but think of Mr Sikes from “Shark Tale” And looking further I found that he actually WAS the voice for Mr Sikes…Learn new stuff every day.
I find humorous and sincere how his realization is that for more off-putting that being meticulous in a craft is, at the end it's very important for it to be taken seriously (when making something, you need the drive and focus, inside a method or careful process). Even, the commercial about this is, most likely refined as much as it need it, despite being satirical and commercial.
Beginners: this advice my not be for us. I tried to *begin* filmmaking like this. I didn't turn up five works in ten years. I'll now begin however I see fit, and *get to* approach filmmaking seriously one day.
I’m genuinely surprised that Scorsese has never played a character in one of his own films. He’d fit right in as a side character for his type of films.
"Here, we have the protagonist but where's the antagonist? Huh, where's the drama?" Cracks me up every time. Marty is the man.
I like imagining who tf is the antagonist at a 5th birthday party.
@@rhysmarksentertainment.3644 likely the obnoxious kid who blows on the candles instead of the party kid 🤣
Well, he did say that cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out... so the antagonist could very well be out. Drama is still preserved!
Wouldn’t the antagonist be the cake? Considering that’s the representation of the birthday, which is the representation of life and aging, which eventually results in death?
@@rhysmarksentertainment.3644 a frenemy
“Too violent.”
I shudder to think what Martin Scorsese considers too violent.
Face in the cake?
At a five years old's birthday party no less.
pinata moment
@@rogerkincaid931 Isn't it obvious that he means too violent...for a kid's bday party. Not too violent compared to his normal standards.
Probably some Ted Bundt shit

One could not ask for a better directing lesson than that

a free Masterclass
So funny, especially at the end, where he wants to re-shoot....'Timmy, it's Uncle Marty, how'd you like to turn 5 again?' hahahaha
But Marty, the 5th Birthday party is already over budget, what are you doing?
@@luismarioguerrerosanchez4747okay THIS had me dead 😂
Funny how?
Sounds like a deal a wise guy would make you 😂
This had me on the floor
This man should do more acting. He's an interesting actor in his own right!
He's very energetic!
yeah .. about that, he ain't 25 anymore
look like Denis Hoper
Well, he's "playing" an exaggerated version of himself so I wouldn't put too much stock into it.
He does act in like 6 of his own movies, though only very briefly.
Love the look he gives the guy at 0:46 that just says "I no longer trust your judgement".
Lies again? Purchase iTunes card USD SGD
0:50 "Too literal, too violent, too metaphorical, too dark" prove that you can't please all critics, the guy who acted in this commercial with Marty sure felt lucky.
That's the joke but...i absolutely agree, it's imposible to please critics and even more difficult to please both critics and audiences equally
U have the protagonist but where’s the antagonist 😀
"Too metaphorical" hahaha
Wait till you realize his commentary applies to the shot of the store (meta-commentary lol). Genius commercial.
Unironically this commercial has a really cool and sleek editing pace and Scorecese makes everything super funny.
I'll swap an acting Tarantino for an acting Scorsese any day of the week.
I'd swap whatever Scorsese for Tarantino anyday. Hell, I'd swap Scorsese for 85% of directors period.
@@luismarioguerrerosanchez4747 😂
@@Simone-xe9cw gey
Yeah Tarantino’s acting is cringe, Scorsese isn’t bad like in Taxi Driver. And he’s good at playing himself like his cameo in Curb Your Enthusiasm
@@bobxyzp Tarantino was great in From Dusk Till Dawn. His performance is probably the most impressive thing about that movie.
When I was at film school, my lecturer firmly believes that you must first be a damn good photographer to even consider being a filmmaker

"That boy was shoving a whole slice of cake down the girl's mouth!!"
Or maybe had the knife shining up for the birthday cake
Travis rears his bloody mohawk in.
The commercial was shot as if it were an episode of mr robot.
Exactly what i thought. Protagonists in the lower corners

Watched it recently, he was great!
“Where’s the drama huh?” While talking about a kids birthday party. 😂😂😂 The goat.

As someone editing his first film, it's warming to hear Scorsese goes through this too
Gotta watch this every now and then to remind myself that I'm not crazy, I'm just passionate about my art.
Hell yes.
As you should.
200th like
I think Chuck Jones said it best: "Don't take yourself seriously, but take what you do seriously."
Well said
I love marty so fucking much
He is so fucking cute omg - "You gotta be serious about making a picture." Right on, Marty.
He's got a great sense of humor I thought I was completely done but then he drops the line " how would you like to be five again? " 🤣
Absolutely love this 😂
"say cheese" 'good' direction Marty!' xD
This commercial is better than most movies today.
Scorsese, the king of unfinished sentences. :-)
He should star in a comedy
He was in Sharktale
Watch King of Comedy very underrated movie from Marty.
He was in a comedy.
He was in an Albert Brooks comedy;
The Muse.
Bro was in Curb
@@Thespeedrapthat’s a black comedy. Not a full blown comedy.
Where is the antagonist? 😂
His acting reminds me of woody allen!
Well, NY.
It's called being a New Yorker.
@BIG BOL Scorsese isn't Jewish. Go back under the rock you crawled from.
I hope he also doesn't begin dating his wife's adoptive daughter like Woody Allen
Step-daughter. @@zenituragaming5043
I am sure the guy who directed Marty in this ad must be shitting his pants.
Most probably Marty himself directed it.
It’s just hilarious to hear Martin Scorsese say “Good direction, Marty”.
I wish I could be stuck in a Winnebago trip with this man.
This makes me feel better about myself

"to violent"
Jay Walker too
I'm still in awe at the number of words he manages to fit into the last 2 seconds of this video
I love when he said: "Aboslute Cinema"
I love this filmmaker. Very few legends in the craft.
WHY AM I JUST NOW SEEING THIS!!!
I am just seeing it too! It popped up on my feed. Although I do remember the commercial when it first aired. One of my favs
Orangeflava man I've been living under a rock apparently.... It's like I've just discovered oil!!

Because ... fuck I don't know who cares
your momma cares. lol just a joke man....

The greatest commercial EVER.
Kevin Bacon did a better commercial.
As a filmmaker, I absolutely love this commercial. 👏
Love how his comments apply to both the pictures and the shots of the store; "too dark, composition is forced, etc". Genius at work lol
I like everything about Martin Scorsese Silence Goodfellas etc.
He is a promising and upcoming actor. Wonder why he hasnt been discovered by any director.
lol just noticed the guy in the back staring XD
He’s a really good actor
This look back & nod at 0:06 is so subtle but so funny too, dude is like "yeah bro i know who you are" but while keeping his job
He's actually quite a good actor, right? As anyone who remembers _that_ scene in Taxi Driver can attest.
Martin Scorsese said "too violent"😂😂😂😂😂
I can just hear the jingle
"You gotta be serious.
Scorsese Serious."
This was absolutely brilliant 😂❤
Truth be told this is the first time I’ve ever heard Scorseses voice and I couldn’t help but think of Mr Sikes from “Shark Tale” And looking further I found that he actually WAS the voice for Mr Sikes…Learn new stuff every day.
You HAD IT Marty! The antagonist was TIME! TIME ITSELF! AGEING! The penalty of living!
The penalty of living, that’s good I like that
This commercial could be the opening for a movie
HES A LEGEND
Scorsese really said "too violent" LMFAO satire indeed 😭😭😭😭😭
"Good direction, Marty" 🤣🤣🤣
Absolute cinema 🖐️😶🤚
0:54: He does appear the very imaginary fourth member of the Good Fellas.
Literally the Gordon Ramsay of filmmaking 😂
"How would you like to turn 5 again?" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Funny advert with the great director Martin Scorsese. :-)
I adore this
Scorsese is one in a million with a legacy of films that will live on.

Uh oh
YOU DICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I seriously have no idea what you are talking about
Right. And what bring's you to that conclusion?
Holy shit, I’ve seen Quiz Show but I didn’t remember he was that good of an actor. The comedic timing is brilliant.
REST IN PEACE !!!!
Scorsese when you force him to watch a Marvel movie.
FYI: I'm making a joke, I love Scorsese's work.
"How'd you like to turn 5 again?" 🤣
Not sure why, but the pharmacist there makes it better
we need more cameos with Scorsese!!
He is the solution for the actors guild strikes!!
After Hours is an excellent comedy, I would hope Scorsese can make at least one more outright comedy movie in future.
This commercial is a dream for any photographer.
This was so funny. Scorsese is hilarious.
stress buster video for me always😂
I can't believe they turned Sykes from Shark Tale into a real person 💀
