Dear Martin Scorcese,

I love you, and not just for your films.

I don’t love you just for Taxi Driver, and the amazing scene at the end where Travis Bickle puts the bloody finger to his temple in fun gun imitation.

I don’t love you just for Gangs Of New York, a marvelous film of yours criticized harshly, but remains one of my favorites.

I don’t love you just for Joe Pesci’s character in GoodFellas.

No.  Martin Scorcese, I love you, because you love film.  You define the word, ‘cinephile.’
