Line 1: {{creator}} {{outdated}} [[File:martin_scorsese.jpg\|frame]] Beloved filmmaker, he'''Martin Scorsese''' is famous for his movies about organized crime in the United States. His early films quickly made him a critical favorite, culminating in ''[[Taxi Driver]]''. [[Protection From Editors\|This allowed him to make his big-budgeted dream project]], ''New York, New York'', which bombed. The '80s were an uneven period, with ''[[Raging Bull]]'' drawing from [[Creator Breakdown\|his struggles with kicking cocaine]], and ''Gangs Of New York'' and ''[[The Last Temptation of Christ]]'' caught in [[Development Hell]]. The '90s saw the release of ''[[Goodfellas]]'', often cited as his best movie, and ''[[Casino]]'', a very similar (and almost similarly respected) film. ''[[Gangs of New York]]'' was finally released in 2002. He uses many of the same actors in his movies, including [[Robert De Niro]], [[Joe Pesci]], Harvey Keitel, and [[Leonardo DiCaprio]]. [[Award Snub\|He is famous for not having won an Oscar for Best Picture or Best Director at the height of his popularity and critical recognition]]. He eventually won his Best Director Oscar for ''[[The Departed]]'', which won three other Oscars including Best Picture, and immediately suffered [[Hype Backlash]]. [[Big Ol' Eyebrows\|Well-known for his big bushy eyebrows,]] his physical stature<ref>at 5'4", in the Hugo premiere pictures he's shorter than a still-prepubescent Asa Butterfield</ref> is inverse to his standing as a filmmaker. {{filmography}} ~~----~~ ~~=== Partial filmography: ===~~ * ''Who's That Knocking at My Door'' * ''Boxcar Bertha'' Line 28: * ''[[Casino]]'' * ''Kundun'' * ''[[~~Film/~~Bringing Out ~~The Dead\|Bringing Out The~~the Dead]]'' * ''[[Gangs of New York]]'' * ''[[The Aviator]]'' Line 36: * The [[Pilot]] of ''[[Boardwalk Empire]]'' * ''[[Hugo]]'' * ''[[The Wolf of Wall Street (2013 film)\|The Wolf of Wall Street]]'' * ''[[Silence (2016 film)\|Silence]]'' * ''[[The Irishman]]'' ---- {{creatortropes}} ~~=== Tropes common to his works include: ===~~ * [[Anti-Hero]]: The [[Byronic Hero\|Byronic]] and the [[Villain Protagonist\|villainous]] show up a lot. * [[Ax Crazy]] Line 49 ⟶ 51: * [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: ''[[Casino]]'', ''[[Goodfellas]]'' and ''[[The Departed]]''. * [[Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangster!]]: [[Deconstructed]] frequently, but [[Do Not Do This Cool Thing]]. * [[Dyeing for Your Art]]: ''[[Raging Bull]]'' being the most prominent example; [[Daniel Day -Lewis]] also went above and beyond for his part in ''[[Gangs of New York]]''. * [[Gallows Humor]] * [[Glory Days]] Line 61 ⟶ 63: * [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] * [[Nothing but Hits]]: An example of the trope at it's finest; Scorsese's movies possess some of the best soundtracks ever. * [[One of Us]]: While most of today's filmmakers operate with an "out with the old, in with the new" mentality, Scorsese is president of The Film Foundation, which is dedicated to the preservation of film (including the very obscure, very old ones). For this passion alone he is adored by many a fan of silent film and classics alike. ** During his childhood he would constantly borrow a certain book from the New York Public Library featuring photos from various films up to 1950, and a few times succumbed to the temptation to clip a picture out. * [[Pigeonholed Director]]: Scorsese has constantly experimented with different genres, but gangster dramas are clearly his bread-and-butter.
