All that's left overs.

As promised, the next post about directing Mostra will be devoted to Martin Scorsese. I admit, this is one of my favorite directors - his film I reviewed again and again. Perhaps Scorsese behind the same Steven Spielberg on the part of the received "Oscars", but that does not make it less talented director. Just Scorsese - another. The only one of its kind.

If you do not like Martin Scorsese, it means you do not like the movie. Robert De Niro




Scorsese's breakthrough on the big screen happened in 1973, when he took off his films "Mean Streets." This film not only brought the first success of the director, but also introduced Robert De Niro, who, as we know, has become a source of inspiration for many, many years.

"Taxi Driver" (1976) - another successful film director. Again, starring Bobby De Niro.



Scorsese himself appears in the film in the role of a taxi passenger.



The main female role in "Taxi Driver" sang the young Jodie Foster. At the time of filming she was only 13 years old and she could not take part in the very explicit scenes. Then it duplicate older sister Connie.



Initially, the role of a taxi driver offered to Dustin Hoffman, but the actor rejected it. Later, he admitted that the decision was a huge mistake.



Martin Scorsese and Cybil Shepard







Set of the film "New York, New York": Liza Minnelli, De Niro and Scorsese. It was rumored that Scorsese was very impressed by Lisa and some time they met - because of these relations director divorced his third wife.



For the filming biopic "Raging Bull," Scorsese again invited Robert De Niro. Background picture is as follows: in 1978, the director almost died from an overdose of cocaine and was De Niro persuaded him to get off the drug, so that they can make a film "Raging Bull" about the life of the famous boxer Jake LaMotta. Later, Scorsese said that this is the picture saved his life.



Probably, many wondered what it is used as a blood film. In the case of "Raging Bull," it was a syrup «Hershey's» - he looked impressive black-and-white film.



For the filming of the movie De Niro intensely involved in boxing for the sake of completeness, even took part in three of these matches. In two of them he won.



In addition, the actor had to recover 30 kg.



"King of Comedy" (1982). Again, starring De Niro.



Set of the film "The Last Temptation of Christ", the main role in which, among other actors, played by David Bowie and William Dafoe. The latter, played the role of Christ, smoked marijuana in the film, and Scorsese had to do to ban smoking on the set - he was afraid that photographers zasnimut Defoe in a suit of Jesus, scoring jamb.



The next film in which the main role again played Bobby De Niro, was the picture of "Goodfellas" (1990).







The film also participated Joe Pesci (left). After the mother of the actor watched the movie, she called her son and said that the film is good, but the bad that he often criticized. In total, the word «fuck» is pronounced in the movie 246 times.



Parents often Scorsese starring in small roles in the films of his son. In the photo: the cast of director with his mother.



"Casino" (1995). Once again, De Niro and Joe Pesci named above. Again, the frequency of spoken word «fuck» and its derivatives exceeds the limit - 422 times during the film, 2.4 times per minute.



"Gangs of New York" - first collaboration Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, which lasts to this day.



Despite 10 nominations for "Oscar", the film has not received any statues.



The idea of ​​this film came from Scorsese 25 years before its creation, but the big picture, and that's why the significant financial investment, postponed the filming process indefinitely. But after painting finally came to the big screen in 2002, the director said: "I am glad that it took so long because the film is multi-faceted, and some of these faces, we could see only lived for another 25 years".



The main female role in the film played the redhead Cameron Diaz.



Robert De Niro was a candidate for the two main roles (the role of Amsterdam and Bill "The Butcher") during different times until the film was only conceived. In the end, he still refused the role due to the fact that the survey suggested a trip to Europe, and in 1999 he was arrested in Paris on suspicion of international prostitution. Oops!



In 2004, Scorsese took biopic "The Aviator." Once again, Leo DiCaprio in the title role.





The film's budget amounted to 100 million. Dollars, of which 2 million. It took the costumes, about 40 million. - At the scenery that almost burned down during the California fires raged then.



In the words of Scorsese's "The Aviator" - one of his favorite movies.



Film set one of my favorite movies "The Departed" (2006), which finally brought the long-awaited Scorsese's "Oscar" for Best Director.



Leonardo back on the horse, that is, in the title role.



To prepare for the role of the police, Matt Damon for a while he worked in one of the police stations.



The main female role in the film played by Vera Farmiga, but it is also claimed by Kate Winslet and Hilary Swank.



Martin Sheen, Scorsese and Leo on the set.



The director was worth considerable effort to convince Jack Nicholson to play in this film. First the actor rejected the role, but changed his mind because he too often acted in comedies in recent years, and the role of the villain turned out very handy.







2009 and the fourth joint work of Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio - "Shutter Island."





"Shutter Island" - the most successful successful film by Martin Scorsese for his entire 40-year career. However, the film did not get any nomination for "Oscar" because the producers could not find the extra 50-60 million. Dollars to promote the picture.





And Martin Scorsese's latest film, won five awards "Oscar" at yesterday's ceremony - "Hugo". Photo: Martin with actor Sir Ben Kingsley.



Starring in the film, played by Asa Butterfield and Chloe Moretz. Kids are very fortunate to play at such a young age in a film of this talented director.
