Sydney🚀’s review published on Letterboxd:
“God gave us violence to wage in his honor.”
Always loved this one, best viewed not as a thrill ride but a tragic journey through the mind of a violent man in a violent society. Trauma ricocheting like bullets in the wake of World War II, a new world that those victimized by it can’t recognize or be a part of anymore. In certain ways, one of Scorsese’s bleakest. “Which would be worse - to live as a monster, or to die as a good man?”
