Boston Globe makes the case for a truer Boston film
Original: If you want a great Boston movie, forget Scorsese. This is the film that makes the 617 a character, not a conceit.
A Boston Globe piece argues that the city's best film portrayal is not Martin Scorsese's acclaimed Boston-set movies, but a different film in which Boston itself works as a genuine character rather than a stylistic backdrop. The article invites debate over which movie truly captures the city, challenging the assumption that Scorsese's Oscar-winning Boston pictures are the definitive take on the 617.
Why now: The Globe is challenging the conventional pick for the definitive Boston movie, prompting film fans to weigh in.
