Bringing Out The Dead (1999) Dir. Martin Scorsese

SAVING A LIFE IS THE ULTIMATE RUSH.

48 hours in the life of a burnt-out paramedic. Once called Father Frank for his efforts to rescue lives, Frank sees the ghosts of those he failed to save around every turn. He has tried everything he can to get fired, calling in sick, delaying taking calls where he might have to face one more victim he couldn’t help, yet cannot quit the job on his own.

Written by Paul Schrader Cinematography by Robert Richardson

"Saving someone's life is like falling in love. The best drug in the world. For days, sometimes weeks afterwards, you walk the streets, making infinite whatever you see. Once, for a few weeks, I couldn't feel  the earth - everything I touched became lighter. Horns played in my shoes. Flowers fell from my pockets. You wonder if you've become  immortal, as if you've saved your own life as well. God has passed  through you. Why deny it, that for a moment there - why deny that for a moment there, God was you?"

This is actually the first piece I did for Nic Cage November: Martin Scorsese's Bringing Out the Dead.So much of the film is about Nic Cage's internal struggle, so I felt it would be appropriate to do an intense and intimate portrait. Clashing colors, textures, etc. As I'm in the healthcare field myself (Chiropractic, so not nearly as intense or chaotic as emergency care--though I do have some stories, huuhuu), there is so much about Bringing Out the Dead that resonates with me. The good, the bad, the humorous, the horrific. It's fantastic.

Remembering Tom Sizemore 1961-2023

After a rough week of grim news, Tom Sizemore has died at 61. He acted in over 250 films according to IMDB. But in the 90s he had an exceptionally good run working with some noteworthy directors and held his own opposite many heavyweights. Cops, mobsters, military officers, he was a staple of action movies. His personal life often overshadowed his performances, which is unfortunate.

I became aware of him because of his supporting roles in two films written by Quentin Tarantino: Tony Scott’s True Romance as Detective Cody Nicholson and Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers as Detective Jack Scagnetti. I was a bigger fan of True Romance as I felt Stone didn’t stick to what made QT’s NBK screenplay work, but even still, Sizemore held his own with both ensembles.

Sizemore in Saving Private Ryan

Sizemore worked frequently with Oliver Stone starting with a small part in Born on the Fourth of July; worked a lot with Kathryn Bigelow including Point Break and the highly underrated Strange Days; and turned in some great supporting work in Devil in a Blue Dress, Michael Mann’s Heat, Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan, Martin Scorsese’s Bringing Out the Dead, and Ridley Scott’s Black Hawk Down. On TV, he played himself in a 2010 episode of Entourage and he appeared in David Lynch’s 2017 Twin Peaks series.
