“Bringing out the Dead is the most underrated film ever done by Martin Scorsese. It is one of the most well made films Iu0026#39;ve ever seen and is one of my favorite dramas of all time.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film focuses on a paramedic called Frank played by Nicolas Cage. The film focuses on 48 hours of Franku0026#39;s life as a paramedic and all the horrific things he has seen. As well as that Frank is also haunted by spirits of people who he couldnu0026#39;t save, befriends a young women called Mary played by Patricia Arquette and a whole range of strange partners.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe actors that Scorsese has chosen are a weird bunch as theyu0026#39;re not really in Scorseseu0026#39;s other films and theyu0026#39;re not really big name actors. As well as Nicolas Cage thereu0026#39;s also supporting roles from people like John Goodman, Ving Rhames and Tom Siezmore. Everyone does a fantastic jobs even the actors who have much smaller roles than others.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is much more surreal film than most other Scorsese films as we go into Franku0026#39;s mind.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe reasons why this films succeeds is just that you really care about this characters and while the film dosenu0026#39;t really have much of a story it grips you the whole way through.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt also has a great soundtrack which includes artists like Van Morrison, R.E.M and the Who.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall the film is quite different to what youu0026#39;re usually expecting but it grips who the whole way though and it gets a full 5 star rating form me.”
