Martin Scorsese Plays Movie Guessing Game on TikTok
Acclaimed director Martin Scorsese appeared in a playful TikTok video with his daughter Francesca Scorsese where he tried to identify his own films based on snarky Letterboxd one-line reviews. The video, created in partnership with Apple TV, coincided with the release of the documentary series Mr. Scorsese, which explores the filmmaker's career.
Game Format and Highlights
In the video, Francesca reads out pithy reviews from Letterboxd, and Martin tries to guess which film is being described. One review said,
“Chat, do I need therapy for being SO attracted to De Niro in this?”
Martin quickly identified the movie as Cape Fear, surprising his daughter.
“How did you get that?!”
he was asked, to which he responded with a casual shrug.
Francesca captioned the video:
“He taught me cinema, I taught him Letterboxd.”
Social Media Presence
This video adds to the frequent TikTok appearances of the director, often featured in charming clips created by his 25-year-old daughter. For example, during Halloween, they participated together in the “Beez in the Trap” challenge, with Martin giving a serious look to the camera while Francesca dressed as the Kool-Aid Man.
Summary
Martin Scorsese’s lighthearted TikTok game showcases his deep knowledge of his own films and his playful bond with his daughter, highlighting a fresh side to the legendary director.
