Before Martin Scorsese was in an interesting and inconspicuous box-office derby with director John McTiernan during the late summer/early fall of 1988, he began his career as a film director during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. His first theatrical film was released in 1967. His second theatrical film was released in in 1972.
“Don’t you got any Christmas music?” / “This is Christmas music!” …words spoken during the opening credits of John McTiernan’s 1988 film just before the movie’s hero quietly enters Nakatomi Plaza…several scenes before the movie’s terrorists enter. A film that had a quiet inconspicuous opening at the box-office in July of 1988. Scorsese’s 1988 film would open at the box-office in August.
inconspicuous: not readily noticeable
Any Christian who doesn’t see that Raging Bull is cinema’s most overrated movie and claims some other movie as holding that title is either being dishonest or is grossly ignorant of the movie world. Even if that Christian is the force behind the two most important documentaries of our time.
