Features of creativity
Scorsese was born in the Queens quarter, which is not surprising, because Sicilian immigrants were founded in it, and Martin has Italian roots. At first, he was quite religious, like his whole family, but eventually cooled to the faith and called himself a former Catholic. Later, Scorsese explained that he wanted to be a priest, but realized that for this it was necessary to renounce the secular world. His paintings often raise difficult religious issues and problems in relations with the church.
From childhood, Martin fell in love with historical films and had an interest in neorealist films. Also, his work was influenced by documentary Italian cinema. His paintings contain scenes of brutal violence, bloody episodes, and this is not accepted by all critics. Scorsese filmed a gangster movie, conveying the laws of criminal life with all openness and directness, without exaggerating. In addition to the everyday mafia, Martin pays attention to the psychological aspect of the relationship of the heroes.
In his later paintings, Scorsese raises questions of the formation of democracy in America, talks about the life of emigrants and their clash with the indigenous people. Martin's paintings are realistic and have a special style. Slow development of events, complex relationships of characters - all this captivates fans of his work.
