It was made very tongue-in-cheek, mockumentary style and it was just them having some fun with it all. Scorsese is well known for preserving film, so it's definitely poking some fun at that ("It’s one thing to preserve a film that has been made, it’s another to preserve a film that has not been made.") It's one of the best advertisements that I can remember, that's for sure. I’m not really sure how it cheapens anything.

Great fan of real life HItch and real life Marty .. but, brother. What is this ... Mickey Mouse-ing Hitch with a bottle of not-very-good-quality champagne? At least Scorsese coulda held out for Dom Perignon. Not done as sublty as possible .. birds hould've been completely quiet at the end ... color palatte was just a little too colorful ... Grace was not, Grace ... Music was the best thing , because, well, it WAS the same music. Who are we kidding? I dunno, guys … somehow I feel it cheapens everybody ..

I caught a couple of Rear Window references there towards the end. Also The Birds thing at the end is pretty amusing (The birds as sort of Hitchcock's spirit). The rest of the parts with Scorsese speaking are equally amusing. "I'm going to make the movie as he would... then. But now. If he were doing the movie today, we would be doing it now, but like he would've then... only now." Gold. Nice find Jonathan. <center> ~ For Your Consideration ~ ~ Javier Bardem ~ BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE </center> Pretty funny.
