Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese appeared in a new video with his daughter Fransesca. The clip showcased the filmmaker taking a quiz and guessing all of his movies from the Letterboxd reviews shared by the audience. The Killers of the Flower Moon director has been a part of the film industry since 1967 and is known for critically acclaimed movies like Goodfellas, Shutter Island, Taxi Driver, and many more.
The challenging part for the filmmaker in the video was to identify his projects only from a quip or one-line review dropped by the audience on the platform.
Martin Scorsese aces the guessing game
The video began with Francesca introducing herself and revealing the significance of recording the clip. She goes on to read the reviews shared by the audience on Letterboxd and asks her father to guess. One of the users wrote, “Ratatouille would’ve thrived in this environment. I won’t explain further.” Immediately getting it, Scorsese quipped, “Goodfellas.”
Another fan mentioned on the review platform, “My alternate title: White people ruin everything, the movie.” The director guessed the film to be Killers of the Flower Moon. Francesca also read a follow-up review for the film, which said, “Nothing could’ve prepared me for Leo’s teeth in this.”
The next review stated, “Pro-lobotomy propaganda, tbh,” and the filmmaker quipped, “Shutter Island.” Adding his personal notes, Scorsese added, “I wouldn’t go so far as to say pro-lobotomy; it’s a guy who… You have to see the whole film to get it.” Other films that the filmmaker went on to guess were Cape Fear, The Age of Innocence, and The Departed.
One movie that the director failed to identify was “The King of Comedy,” after the review read, “I hope Martin Scorsese never finds out about Stan Twitter.” Meanwhile, in the caption of the video, Francesca wrote, “He taught me cinema; I taught him Letterboxd.”
