Director Profile- Martin Scorsese

Martin Scorsese-

Who is Martin Scorsese.
Martin Scorsese is a very important figure in Hollywood, he is a Executive Producer.
He was raised in Little Italy in the 1940's-1950's era. His influences come from his childhood in an italian american neighbourhood, this shows in his Gangster films such as Goodfellas and The Departed which follows a man of irish decent. I found this interesting because they was always a rivalry between the italian mafia (guineys) and the irish mafia (micks). He obtained a degree in film communications in 1964 and an M.A. at New Yorks University of Film in 1966.

Known Films:
The Wolf of Wall Street
Shutter Island
Goodfellas
The Departed

The themes shown in these movies are all cohesive, 3 films are starring Leonardo DiCaprio who in my opinion is one of the greatest and most influential actors alive today. Three of these films involve crime and violence.
