		But Scorsese knew that on Taxi Driver (1976) he had in Travis Bickle a loner so alienated that he didn't listen to modern music, just as he doesn't hear what people say to him.

		Director Martin Scorsese pops up in so many different places - speed-rapping in every third documentary about film history, supplying voices for cartoons, sending up his auteur image in a recent television commercial - that it's sometimes easy to forget he's one of the top five directors still working in movies.
		Scorsese was, to a degree, trying to do something different (namely: direct a hit movie) and while his heart doesn't completely seem in it, it's a solid drama with a strange, intense flair to it.
		Scorsese directs the film with insight and he puts his electric trademark in every scene.

		Scorsese walked into the room and began firing off in his trademark fast-talking fashion as soon as the first question was asked of him.
		I have been over the years, had some close friends and acquaintances who have said at one point, 'Don't go in the room, he's got the tissue boxes on his feet…' Howard Hughes was this visionary who was obsessed with speed and flying like a god… I loved his idea of what filmmaking was.

		Martin Scorsese's 1990 masterpiece GoodFellas immortalizes the hilarious, horrifying life of actual gangster Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), from his teen years on the streets of New York to his anonymous exile under the Witness Protection Program.
		Scorsese uses period music perfectly, not just to summon a particular time but to set a precise mood.
		The temptation to turn gangsters into romantic antiheroes is great, but Scorsese resists it and goes totally in the opposite direction, and thus accurately captures the true stroy he is trying to portray.
