simpatico
It’s easy to understand why they’ve been such good friends for so long.
Scorsese, at a very low point, in a hospital bed needed exactly what DeNiro gave him.
And DeNiro must have known just what Marty needed…
encouragement, something to be excited about, a reason to make films again.

Completely agree with you about the close bond & obvious simpatico between Scorsese & DeNiro.
I read this bit today about "The magic from acting-directing teams".
The teaming of Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro is another story.
"I think when started working together in the early '70s, it's clear there was some simpatico," Maltin said. "They were both Italian-American New Yorkers. They went to some pretty dark places in their movies, and obviously De Niro was willing to go there.
"I don't think Scorsese could have pushed him in that direction if he weren't willing to go there. That's what made them such a potent team in films like "Mean Streets," "Taxi Driver" and "Raging Bull."
More recently, Scorsese has teamed up with Leonardo DiCaprio. The young actor and the veteran director made "Gangs of New York" in 2002, last year's "The Aviator" and the upcoming "The Departed," scheduled for release next year.

I watched a bit of Village of the Damned too! :shock:
And...this is COSMIC!
There's a line in the movie:
"It's gonna be a BLOODBATH!
