To watch a Scorsese brawl or gunfight is to find a director working through all these multifarious ideas and attempting to get them all on screen-often in the same scene, sometimes in the same frame. And just as crucially, he finds a similar connection between the subjective experiences of those committing violent acts and the sociological factors that deem those acts acceptable (and often assumed). Scorsese sees the glamorization and moralization of filmic violence as irrevocably fused together, revulsion and fascination informing one another equally. (Combine it with some extended musings on John Ford’s conception of “masculinity” and you’ve got a full-proof narcoleptic for cineastes.) Then you re-watch Raging Bull and you remember that all those cocktail-party bloviations have their roots in one of American cinema’s most complex visions of physical brutality: its communal roots, hypnotic realization, and corrosive legacy.
Updated March 3rd, 2023: Official brand images have been updated.Film criticism seemingly doesn’t get more banal than commenting upon Martin Scorsese’s “fascination” with violence. In other Jumpman related news, the latest Jordan Series enjoys a “Golden Velvet” treatment. With an expected June 24th release date and accompanying $200 retail tag, additional details regarding the Summer 2023 Jordan 6 “Toro Bravo” can be found here. Underfoot, the pre-established crimson hue works in tandem with an icy blue semi-translucent tread and exposed Air bag. With first looks being leaked by zsneakerheadz via Youtube, the “Varsity Red” and black dressed combination employs an all-red suede upper cascading across the perforated panels and buffed ankle collar while black accents dawn the tongue construction, heel tab and interjecting sections of the midsole. Packed full with nostalgia, the “Toro Bravo” scheme introduced in 2009 with the “Raging Bulls” collection is making its return, gracing the Air Jordan 6. While the sunny summer months are just now concluding, Jordan Brand, per usual, has already got their retro lineup set for next years dog days including the “Columbia” Air Jordan 11, “White Infared” Jordan 7 and a “Black Flint” update to the Jordan 13.
