Martin Scorsese is an acclaimed American director and writer whose films like ‘Mean Streets’ and ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ have shaped the history of American cinema.
Biography
Martin was born as Martin Marcantonio Luciano Scorsese on November 17, 1942, in Flushing, New York. He was raised by Italian-American parents in Little Italy, Manhattan.
Martin’s parents, Charles and Catherine, both worked part-time as actors. As a result, his passion for films developed at a young age of eight.
However, being a devout Catholic, the priesthood was his first choice of profession.
Martin suffered from asthma as a child, and he often spent time alone, unable to participate in the neighborhood and school activities.
After a 10-minute comedy short film earned him a scholarship of 500 US dollars, he entered the Film School at New York University.
During his NYU days, Martin directed a few short films that had prominent influences on foreign classics and Hollywood musicals.
Among them was the 1963 short film, ‘What’s a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This?’
His next short film, ‘It’s Not Just You, Murray!’ won the Producers Guild Award for the best student film in 1964.
He also received awards for other short films that he made as an undergraduate.
After completing his MFA in film directing at NYU in 1966, Martin briefly worked at the university as a film instructor. His students included Jonathan Kaplan and Oliver Stone.
Career
In 1968, Martin completed his first feature-length film, ‘Who’s That Knocking at My Door’.
While working on the project, he met actor Harvey Keitel, whom he would go on to cast in many future projects.
The film earned Martin encouraging reviews, and he was offered the position of assistant director and supervising editor for ‘Woodstock’ in 1970.
During the filming, he met Thelma Schoonmaker, an editor with whom he collaborated for more than 40 years.
Over the period of the 1970s and 1980s, Martin directed several hard-hitting films that helped define new age cinema.
In 1970, he directed a less seen documentary about the protests against the Vietnam War, ‘Street Scenes’.
He then worked as an editor for concert films like ‘Medicine Ball Caravan’ in 1971 and ‘Elvis on Tour’ in 1972.
In 1973, Martin directed ‘Mean Streets’, his first film to be widely acknowledged as a masterpiece.
The film introduced him to Robert De Niro, which later gave rise to one of the most dynamic filmmaking partnerships in Hollywood history.
After making the documentary ‘Italianamerican’ in 1974, which was a chronicle about his parents, Martin started working on his first mainstream studio picture, ‘Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore’.
His gritty 1976 masterpiece, ‘Taxi Driver’, was nominated under different categories at the Academy Awards. Perhaps the most controversial and most disturbing among his filmography, ‘Taxi Driver’ is considered as Martin’s best work to date.
In 1978, Martin made an acclaimed documentary titled ‘The Last Waltz’, using old concert footage.
The documentary showcased farewell performances of Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, and Muddy Waters. Since then, he has renewed his musical passion through his films.
The 1977 film, ‘New York, New York’ once again saw the glorious collaboration of Martin and Rober De Niro.
The film is best known for the extensive usage of non-naturalistic light and elaborate sets.
They collaborated once again through their 1980 picture, ‘Raging Bull’, based on the life of the boxer Jake LaMotta.
Although initial reactions were mixed due to the display of extensive violence, ‘Raging Bull’ is now widely considered as one of the greatest movies of all time.
The 1982 feature film, ‘The King of Comedy’ had a similar fate. After initial disapproval, it later received critical praise.
Martin directed his first huge box-office success, ‘The Color of Money’ in 1986. The film is considered as his most commercial and conventional film.
In 1988, ‘The Last Temptation of Christ’ earned Martin his second Oscar nomination.
The 1990s saw the release of two of Martin’s most important gangster movies to date – ‘Goodfellas’ and the 1995 classic feature, ‘Casino’.
In 2003, he completed his seven-part documentary series, ‘The Blues’. Two years later, his Bob Dylan documentary, ‘No Direction Home’ was aired as a part of the American Masters series.
Martin again used footage from a 2006 Rolling Stones concert to direct the 2008 documentary, ‘Shine a Light’.
He once again ventured out as an executive producer for HBO’s ‘Vinyl’, aired in 2016. Martin next co-wrote the 2016 feature film, ‘Silence’, which was based on a novel by Shusaku Endo.
Martin has started his first-ever online class, where he shares valuables thoughts ranging from storytelling to editing to his approach towards filmmaking.
