> the most heartbreaking, revelatory moment of the interview is when the 80-year-old Scorsese opened up about the stories he wants to tell and how little time he has left to tell them. “I wish I could take a break for eight weeks and make a film at the same time [laughs]. The whole world has opened up to me, but it’s too late. It’s too late,” Scorsese said. “I’m old. I read stuff. I see things. I want to tell stories, and there’s no more time. Kurosawa, when he got his Oscar, when George [Lucas] and Steven [Spielberg] gave it to him, he said, ‘I’m only now beginning to see the possibility of what cinema could be, and it’s too late.’ He was 83. At the time, I said, ‘What does he mean?’ Now I know what he means.'”
Maybe Scorsese could try making a movie with a way way more limited budget and in limited time, up his efficiency so to speak.
There is definitely something to be said about how age is the greatest enemy of humanity. We are robbed, robbed of our greatest, always too soon. I suppose this is greed as well, but I wouldn't call it a sin.
