Curiosities and TrademarksOften begins his films with segments taken from the middle or end of the story (Raging Bull (1980), Goodfellas (1990), Casino (1995) and The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)).
[slow-motion] Makes use of slow motion techniques (e.g., Mean Streets (1973), Taxi Driver (1976), Raging Bull (1980), The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)).
Often uses diegetic music (i.e., source of music is visible on-screen)
Often uses long tracking shots (His most famous is from Goodfellas (1990), following Henry Hill and his future wife Karen through the basement of the Copacabana night-club and ending up at a newly prepared table). A notoriously difficult shot to perfect, he has been dubbed by some as the "King of the Tracking Shot".
Often uses freeze frames (Raging Bull (1980), Goodfellas (1990), The Departed (2006), The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)).
Frequently uses music by The Rolling Stones, especially the song "Gimme Shelter" (Goodfellas (1990), Casino (1995), The Departed (2006)).
[Cameo] Cameo appearances by himself and family members like his parents, Charles Scorsese and Catherine Scorsese. Catherine played Joe Pesci's mother in Goodfellas (1990).
Frequently sets his films in New York City
Unflinchingly graphic and realistic violence
Frequently casts pop stars in small acting roles: Kris Kristofferson in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974), Clarence Clemons in New York, New York (1977), Mick Jones, Joe Strummer, Paul Simonon and Ellen Foley, The King of Comedy (1982), Iggy Pop in The Color of Money (1986), David Bowie in The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), Debbie Harry and Peter Gabriel in New York Stories (1989), Marc Anthony and Queen Latifah in Bringing Out the Dead (1999), Gwen Stefani, Loudon Wainwright III, Martha Wainwright and Rufus Wainwright in The Aviator (2004). Mark Wahlberg starred in The Departed (2006) long after ending his rapper days as "Marky Mark".
Cuts his movies to the music.
Frequently makes references to the work of Michael Powell.
Thick black horn-rimmed glasses
Thick, dark eyebrows and grey hair
Though he is particular about the aesthetics of each shot in most of his films, he frequently encourages improvisation in dialogue.
Often when the formal end-credits song is over before the credit sequence, the remaining minute or so will have atmospheric sound footage pertaining to the movie. For instance, The Age of Innocence (1993) had sounds of a horse-drawn carriage; The Last Waltz (1978) had the Winterland audience filing out as "Greensleeves" was played on the organ; Gangs of New York (2002) had modern-day New York City traffic, and Raging Bull (1980) had sounds of Lamotta's nightclub.
Often works with Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Leonardo DiCaprio
Most of his movies features narration (Mean Streets (1973), Taxi Driver (1976), Goodfellas (1990), Casino (1995), Bringing Out the Dead (1999), The Departed (2006), Hugo (2011), The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)).
Fast track-ins and track-outs
Nearly all of his films feature split-diopter, or double-focus, shots, which splice together two shots of characters in different depths in order to keep both in focus.
His films often contain extraordinary levels of cursing. The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) has the most uses of the word 'fuck' (or other tenses) in a film at 569 and Casino (1995) has the fourth.
Frequently uses The Rolling Stones song "Gimme Shelter" in his films.
Many of his films highlight the fun and glamorous side of immoral behavior while also unflinchingly showing the ultimate cost to both the person and everyone around them
Many of his films have at least one character who is known for being extremely violent, temperamental or generally unpredictable
Often uses quick fades in order to jump ahead in shots of routine action (i.e., characters parking and getting out of cars, etc.).
Frequent use of conspicuously redubbed bits of dialogue.

Martin Scorsese's Quotes

  • The only person who has the right attitude about boxing in the movies for me was Buster Keaton.
  • [on sports] Anything with a ball, no good.
  • Because of the movies I make, people get nervous, because they think of me as difficult and angry. I am difficult and angry, but they don't expect a sense of humor. And the only thing that gets me through is a sense of humor.
  • [on Raging Bull (1980)] Robert De Niro wanted to make this film. Not me. I don't understand anything about boxing. For me, it's like a physical game of chess.
  • It seems to me that any sensible person must see that violence does not change the world and if it does, then only temporarily.

Interesting Facts about Martin Scorsese

  1. (December 19, 1996) Listed as one of 50 people barred from entering Tibet. Disney clashed with Chinese officials over the film Kundun (1997), which Scorsese directed.
  2. Awarded third annual John Huston Award for Artists Rights by the Artists Rights Foundation. [1995]
  3. Presented with a special tribute at the 1976 Telluride Film Festival. It was presented by Michael Powell. [1976]
  4. Is a longtime friend and was once a housemate of The Band's Robbie Robertson. He directed The Last Waltz (1978), the documentary of their supposedly last gig which Robertson produced. Robertson later produced the soundtrack for Scorsese's The Color of Money (1986).
  5. Good friends with editor Thelma Schoonmaker and cinematographer Michael Ballhaus. Scorsese introduced Thelma to her husband Michael Powell and he often quotes Powell as an influence.
  6. His name is pronounced "Scor-sez-see".
  7. He directed Michael Jackson's music video Michael Jackson: Bad (1987). The full length video runs 16 minutes and is in both black and white and color. It is usually shortened down to just the color segment for television.
  8. He appears as attached to his pet white Bichon Frise Zoe as he was to his beloved parents - except Zoe is right beside Marty every day in the office.
  9. Has one daughter with Helen Morris Scorsese: Francesca Scorsese. Has one daughter with Julia Cameron: Domenica Cameron-Scorsese.
  10. John Woo dedicated his action film Dip huet seung hung (1989) to Scorsese on a commentary he did for the movie's DVD.
  11. Taught both Oliver Stone and Spike Lee at New York University.
  12. Was at one point going to make a movie about the life of comedian Richard Pryor.
  13. He was an altar boy at Old St. Patrick's Cathedral, which was used in his early films I Call First (1967) and Mean Streets (1973). Old St. Patrick's is also where the baptism scene in The Godfather (1972) took place.
  14. Was at one point slated to direct Clockers (1995), but for reasons that are not entirely clear, handed the directing chores to his onetime NYU student Spike Lee, while staying on as producer. He was also at one point going to direct Little Shop of Horrors (1986) for David Geffen, with Steven Spielberg as the executive producer. He was ultimately uninvolved, but claims that he wanted to shoot the movie in 3-D. It no doubt would have been a loving homage to Roger Corman, for whom he directed Boxcar Bertha (1972).
  15. He took a cameo in his film Taxi Driver (1976) (as a man about to kill his wife) only because the actor who was supposed to play the role was sick on the day the scene was to be shot. Says he is generally uncomfortable in front of the camera.
  16. Has a dog named Silas.
  17. Is the subject of the song "Martin Scorsese" by the alternative band King Missile.
  18. Father of actress Cathy Scorsese with Laraine Marie Brennan.
  19. Of the three films he has been trying to make since the mid-1970s, he has done two: The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) and Gangs of New York (2002). The third film, a biopic of Dean Martin called "Dino", has been on hiatus at Warner Brothers since the late 1990s. Scorsese has a very specific all A-list cast in mind, probably why this has yet to be produced. He wants Tom Hanks to star as Martin, Jim Carrey to play Jerry Lewis, John Travolta to play Frank Sinatra, Hugh Grant to play Peter Lawford, and Adam Sandler to play Joey Bishop.
  20. Was voted the fourth greatest director of all time by Entertainment Weekly, making him the only living person in the top 5 and the only working film director in the top 10 (Ingmar Bergman being retired as a filmmaker).
