suggest all characters had to have redeeming qualities (but most do; however, it may not suit an author's purpose to show a many-sided character).
Rather, I was criticizing Scorscese's bleak view of the human condition. His view is depressing, ill-humored, and in-human. The tragedy of Macbeth (though I'm loath to mention it in this context) or Richard II, for that matter, is his immensely complex character, with so many good pieces, turned to evil. Of course, Shakespeare shows the triumph of the more positive.
I don't need a "feel-good" story but merely one which doesn't tilt unreasonably (and in Scorscese's case, repeatedly) towards the dark.
