I've watched this a number of times - maybe my fav Scorcese and prob the closest he comes to feeling 'modern' in a way a lot of his other movies can't (because they more directly informed the bigger shape of mainstream cinema).

I've never really thought about how it's not just our (sort of?) protagonist who isn't listening to anyone - really, just about everyone isn't listening to ANYone in this, which causes so much of the trouble. That right there, that's an insight and now I guess I gotta watch it AGAIN.
