Martin Scorsese is known for his skill at escorting audiences through the highs and lows of the human experience. His films are unquestionably strong and compelling, even though some people may find them violent, unsettling, and even nihilistic at times. Scorsese creates moods and settings that are difficult to forget through the excellent use of cinematography in which he captures the beauty and harshness of his worlds in thoughtfully framed images. Taxi Driver and Raging Bull are two films that have particularly nuanced and imperfect characters. In the former, Travis Bickle, a lonely and alienated taxi driver, is portrayed, while Jake LaMotta, a boxer, is the subject of the latter. Successful Scorsese films from the 1980s and 1990s include Goodfellas, Casino, and Gangs of New York.
In 2006, Scorsese won his first Academy Award for Best Director for The Departed, a remake of the Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs. A state trooper who infiltrates the Irish Mob and a mobster who infiltrates the Massachusetts State Police are the subjects of the film. In recent years, Scorsese has continued to produce films including The Irishman, Hugo, and Shutter Island.
