Taste is just maturing. A lot of movies are made for 18-34. Hence a lot dont hold up when u get out of that age group. Same has happened to me. Im 43 now and havent watched a Spielberg movie in over a decade, have to steel myself to watch ever new Tarantino film and fight club is just some trendy bs i moved past a long time ago.

I used to love Scorsese but his stuff seems immature now too.

I dunno, give me Mizoguchi or some grown up directors… cant handle ‘cool’ movies anymore…

Love that you countered the accusation that you are pretentious with recommending Proust. Take my upvote.

And you're not wrong. I do like some of Scorsese's films, though, but mostly his recent ones like Silence and The Irishman. Taxi Driver just seems profoundly mentally ill to me and I'm glad he grew as a person after that.
