Happy to be educated. Movies about crime and organized crime in particular is a major part of Scorsese's filmography, and certainly his most popular films. I haven't seen every movie he's made but I'm not aware of any that could be called "uplifting". My point was that the types of films he creates hits at a particular emotion that is far from the emotions evoked by so-called event movies.

Well you point is correct then, because he definitely doesn't have anything that would be considered "event movies" (which I assume by this you mean tent pole movies like what Marvel does, or other summer blockbusters).

With that said, my counter point was mainly to point out that you boxing in Scorsese as the "mob" guy is really bizarre. He has plenty of other kind's of movies, some of which you might find uplifting. The Aviator, Silence, or Hugo might fall into the uplifting category, but I feel a lot of his work (and the work of good artists) ends up being more nuanced to the point where associating one emotion to it is kind of diminishing the work.

Not just event movies, any sort of movies that can be considered "feel-good" in any way is pretty outside of what Scorsese does. I haven't seen Hugo and maybe that applies! Maybe he's had 1 or 2 or 3 that apply, I can't say. It's still fair to say that it's not the typical type of movie he creates, which was my only point.

"Hugo" was beautifully done, was uplifting, and wasn't crime related in the way other of his works are. I just finished the book it was based on and he was very faithful to it.

Great, so there's 1 example. That doesn't negate my point.
