Kehidupan awal
Scorsese was born on November 17, 1942, in the Queens region of New York City. Her family moved to Little Italy, before she started school. His father, Charles Scorsese, and mother, Catherine Scorsese (born Cappa), both work in the Garment District of New York. His father was a clothe and an actor, and his mother was a tailor and an actress. His father's parents emigrated from Polizzi Generosa, in the province of Palermo, Sicily, and maternal grandparents also came from Palermo, precisely from Ciminna. Scorsese grew up in a devout Catholic environment. As a boy, he has asthma and can not play sports or do activities with other children, so his parents and older brother often take him to the movies; at this stage in his life he developed a passion for cinema. As a teenager in the Bronx, Scorsese often hired Powell and Pressburger The Tales of Hoffmann (1951) from a store that had one copy of the reel. Scorsese is one of only two people who regularly rent the scroll; the other is George A. Romero's future director of Night of the Living Dead.
Scorsese called Sabu and Victor Mature as his favorite actors during his youth. He also talked about the influence of Powell and Pressburger films of 1947 Black Narcissus, whose innovative techniques then influenced the filming. Enchanted from the epic history of his teenage years, at least two films of the genre, the Land of the Pharaohs and El Cid, seem to have a deep and lasting impact on the cinematic. soul. Scorsese also developed admiration for the current neoreal cinema. He recounted his influence in a documentary about Italian neorealism, and commented on how the Bicycle Thief with PaisÃÆ' , Rome, the Open City inspired him and how this influenced by the views or depictions of his Sicilian roots. In his documentary, Il Mio Viaggio in Italy, Scorsese notes that the Sicilian episode of Roberto Rossellini PaisÃÆ' , which he first saw on television with his relative, who is also a Sicilian immigrant, making a significant impact on his life. He acknowledged because of the huge debt to the French New Wave and has stated that "The New Wave of France has affected all the filmmakers who have worked since then, whether they see the movie or not." He also cited filmmakers including Satyajit Ray, Ingmar Bergman, Michelangelo Antonioni, and Federico Fellini as a major influence in his career. His initial desire to become a priest, initially attending seminary preparations but failing after the first year while attending Cardinal Hayes High School in the Bronx gave way to theaters and consequently, Scorsese enrolled at NYU's Washington Square College (now known as College of Arts and Sciences), at where he obtained his BA in English in 1964. He went on to earn a MFA degree of the NYU Art School (now known as the Tisch Art School) in 1966, a year after school was established.

Careers
Initial career
Scorsese attends Tisch School of the Arts at New York University (BA, England, 1964; MFA, film, 1966) make short films What is a Beautiful Girl Like You Do in Places Like It? (1963) and Not Just You, Murray! (1964). The shortest period of the most famous is the dark comic The Big Shave (1967), featuring Peter Bernuth. This film is the indictment of American involvement in Vietnam, suggested by the alternative title Viet '67 . Scorsese has mentioned on several occasions that he was very inspired in the early days at New York University by his film professor from Armenia, Haig P. Manoogian.
In 1967, Scorsese made his first full-length, black and white I Call First, which was later titled Who Knocked on My Door with his fellow actors Harvey Keitel and editor of Thelma Schoonmaker, both of whom are long-term collaborators. The film is intended to be the first of the semicutobiography of J. R. Trilogy of Scorsese, which will also include the next film, Mean Streets .
1970s
Scorsese made friends with influential "movie boys" in the 1970s: Brian De Palma, Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. Brian De Palma who introduced Scorsese to Robert De Niro. During this period he worked as an assistant director and one of the editors of the documentary film Woodstock (1970) and met actor-director John Cassavetes, who will also continue to be close friends and mentors.
In 1972, Scorsese created the boxcar Bertha Depression era for B-film producer Roger Corman, who also helped directors like Francis Ford Coppola, James Cameron, and John Sayles launch their careers. Corman who taught Scorsese that entertaining movies can be shot with very little money or time, prepares the young director well for the upcoming challenge with Mean Streets . After the release of the film, Cassavetes encourages Scorsese to make the movie he wants to make, not someone else's project.
Hailed by influential movie critic Pauline Kael, Mean Streets is a breakthrough for Scorsese, De Niro, and Keitel. Currently the Scorsese-style signature already exists: macho attitude, bloody violence, guilt and Catholic redemption, terrible New York location (though the majority of Streets are actually shot in Los Angeles), fire-fast editing and soundtrack with contemporary music. Though the film is innovative, its cable atmosphere, edgy documentary style, and tortuous streets are owed to Cassavetes directors Samuel Fuller and early Jean-Luc Godard.
In 1974, actress Ellen Burstyn chose Scorsese to direct her into Alice Does not Live Here Anymore, where she won an Academy Award for Best Actress. Although considered good, the film remains an anomaly in the early career of the director as it focuses on the central female character. Back to Little Italy to explore his ethnic roots, Scorsese next comes with Italianamerican , a documentary featuring his parents Charles and Catherine Scorsese.
Taxi Driver followed in 1976? -? The dark Scorsese, the urban nightmare of one lonely man gone mad. The film established Scorsese as a successful filmmaker and also brought attention to the cinematographer Michael Chapman, whose style tended toward high contrast, strong colors, and complicated camera movements. The film stars Robert De Niro as a troubled and psychotic Travis Bickle. The film starred Jodie Foster in a highly controversial role as an underage prostitute, and Harvey Keitel as a pimp, Matthew, called "Sport". The Taxi Driver also marked the start of a series of collaborations between Scorsese and writer Paul Schrader, whose influences included the diary of potential killer Arthur Bremer and Pickpocket, a film by French director Robert Bresson. Writer-director Schrader often returns to Bresson's work in films such as American Gigolo , Light Sleeper and Scorsese's later
Bringing Out the Dead . Already a controversy after it was released, Taxi Driver made headlines again five years later, when John Hinckley, Jr. attempted murder against Ronald Reagan. He then blames his actions on his obsession with Jodie Foster's Taxi Driver character (in the movie, De Niro's character, Travis Bickle, makes an assassination attempt against a senator). Taxi Driver won the Palme d'Or at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival, also received four Oscar nominations, including Best Picture.
The critical success of the Taxi Driver pushed Scorsese to move forward with his first big budget project: a very stylish Musical New York, New York . This homage to the home town of Scorsese and Hollywood's classical musicals is a box-office failure. The film is a third collaboration director with Robert De Niro, starring Liza Minnelli. The film is most remembered today for the title of the theme song, popularized by Frank Sinatra. Despite having a distinctive visual panache and bravura style, many critics who feel its studio-covered atmosphere make it stand out compared to previous work. Despite the weak reception, the film is positively considered by some critics. Richard Brody in The New Yorker writes:
For Scorsese, the lifelong cinephile, the essence of New York can be found in its portrayal in Hollywood classic films. Remarkably, his appreciation that looked up to the golden age of musical and romantic melodrama noirish turned out to be one of his most freewheeling and personal films.
The disappointing acceptance that New York, New York received encouraged the Scorsese into depression. At this stage the director has also developed a serious cocaine addiction. However, he found a creative urge to make the highly respected The Last Waltz , documenting the last concert by The Band. The event was held at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco, and featured one of the most extensive formations of leading guest stars at a single concert, including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Ringo Starr, Muddy Waters, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Paul Butterfield, Neil Diamond, Ronnie Wood, and Eric Clapton. However, Scorsese's commitment to another project delayed the release of the film until 1978.
- Other works in the 1970s
Another documentary entitled Scorsese, entitled American Boy , also appeared in 1978, focusing on Steven Prince, the arrogant salesman who appeared at the Taxi Driver . A wild party period occurred, damaging to the already fragile director's health. Scorsese also helped provide recordings for the Elvis on Tour documentary. In 1977, he directed the Broadway music The Act , starring Liza Minnelli.
1980s
With multiple accounts (including Scorsese), Robert De Niro practically saved Scorsese's life when he persuaded Scorsese to kick his cocaine addiction to make his highly respected movie Raging Bull. Convinced that he would never make another film, he devoted his energy to making biographical biographies of middle-class boxing champion Jake LaMotta, calling it a kamikaze-making method. The film is widely viewed as a masterpiece and was voted the greatest film of the 1980s by the United Kingdom Sight & amp; Sound Magazine . It received eight Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Robert De Niro, and first Scorsese for Best Director. De Niro won, as did Thelma Schoonmaker for editing, but Best Director came to Robert Redford for Ordinary People . From this work onwards, Scorsese's movies are always labeled as "A Martin Scorsese Picture" on promotional materials. Raging Bull , filmed in high contrast black and white, is where Scorsese's style reaches its peak: Taxi Driver and New York, New York has been using elements -Expressive elements to replicate the psychological point of view, but here the force is brought to a new extreme point, using extensive slow motion, complex tracking images, and extraordinary perspective distortion (for example, the size of the boxing ring will change from the fight to fight ). Thematically, too, the concerns brought from Mean Streets and Taxi Driver : insecure men, violence, guilt, and redemption.
Although the scenario for Raging Bull is credited to Paul Schrader and Mardik Martin (formerly co-write Mean Streets), the finished script differs widely from Schrader's original draft. It was rewritten several times by various authors including Jay Cocks (who later became co-scripts and then Scorsese The Age of Innocence and Geng of New York ). The final draft is mostly written by Scorsese and Robert De Niro. The American Film Institute chose Raging Bull as an American sports film. 1 in their top 10 sports list. In 1997, the Institute ranked Raging Bull as the 24th greatest film of all time on the list of 100 AFI Films... 100 Movies. In 2007, they ranked Raging Bull as the 4th greatest film of all time on the 100 Years... 100 AFI (AFI Year 10) Film List.
The next Scorsese project is the fifth collaboration with Robert De Niro, The King of Comedy (1983). It is a satire in the world of media and celebrities, whose main character is a troubled loner who ironically became famous through crime (kidnapping). The film is definitely an escape from the more emotional and committed films. Visually, it's much less kinetic than the previously developed Scorsese style, often using static and long-take cameras. Expressionism from previous work, here gives way to moments of almost total surrealism. However, there are still many Scorsese trademarks. The King of Comedy failed at the box office, but has become highly regarded by critics in the years since its release. German director Wim Wenders put it in 15 of his favorite movies.
With After Hours (1985) Scorsese makes aesthetic changes back to the almost "underground" filmmaking style. Filmed with a very low budget, on-site, and at night in the SoHo Manhattan neighborhood, this movie is a black comedy about one night that is increasingly unfortunate for the lightweight New York word processor (Griffin Dunne) and performing brilliant acting by different actors like Teri Garr and Cheech and Chong.
Along with the 1987 Michael Jackson music video "Bad", in 1986 Scorsese made The Color of Money, a sequel to the highly admired Robert Rossen movie The Hustler (1961) with Paul Newman , which starred Tom Cruise. Despite following the well-established Scorsese style, The Color of Money is the first official directorial robbery to mainstream filmmaking. The film eventually won the actor Paul Newman an Oscar and gave Scorsese the influence to finally get support for a project that has become a long-term goal for him: The Last Temptation of Christ .
In 1983, Scorsese began work on a long-cherished private project, The Last Temptation of Christ, based on a 1951 novel written by Nikos Kazantzakis recounting the life of Christ in human terms rather than divine. Barbara Hershey remembers introducing the Scorsese to the book while they were filming
Seeing past the controversy, The Last Temptation of Christ is critically acclaimed and remains an important work in the Scorsese canon: an explicit attempt to grapple with the underlying spirituality of the film up to that point. The director went on to receive a second nomination for the Best Director Academy Award (again unsuccessful, this time losing to Barry Levinson for Rain Man ).
- Other works in the 1980s
Scorsese made a brief cameo appearance in Anna Pavlova (also known as A Woman for All Time), originally intended to be directed by one of her heroes, Michael Powell. This led to a more significant role in Bertrand Tavernier's jazz film Round Midnight. She also made a brief effort on television, directing an episode of Steven Spielberg's Amazing Stories.
Together with director Woody Allen and Francis Ford Coppola, in 1989 Scorsese provided one of three segments in the portmanteau movie New York Stories, called "Life Lessons".
1990s
After a decade of mostly mixed results, the epic gangster Goodfellas (1990) is returning to form for Scorsese and the most confident and fully realized film since Raging Bull . De Niro and Joe Pesci offer virtuoso shows from movie director directors' cinema techniques and rebuild, enhance, and consolidate his reputation. After the film was released Roger Ebert, a friend and Scorsese supporter, named Goodfellas "the best mafia movie ever" and was ranked No. 1. 1 on Roger's list of movies for 1990, along with Gene Siskel and Peter Travers, the film is widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements of the director. The film was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, Scorsese earned 3rd Best Director nomination for Goodfellas but again lost to first director Kevin Costner (Dance with Wolves ). Joe Pesci won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance at Goodfellas . Scorsese and the film won many awards, including five BAFTA Awards, Silver Lion, and more. The American Film Institute puts Goodfellas in No. 94 on the list of 100 Movies... 100 AFI Movies. In the updated 2007 version they moved Goodfellas to No. 92 on the list of 100 AFI Films... 100 Movies (10th Anniversary Edition) and they put Goodfellas in No. 2 in their top 10 gangster movie list (after The Godfather ).
In 1990, he also released his short documentary: Made in Milan about fashion designer Giorgio Armani. The following year brought Cape Fear , a remake of the 1962 cult film of the same name and the collaboration of the seven directors with De Niro. Another robbery to the mainstream, this film is a stylish thriller taking his heavy cues from Alfred Hitchcock and Charles Laughton's The Night of the Hunter (1955). Cape Fear received a critical welcome and was ridiculed in many places for scenes depicting misogynous violence. However, spooky subject matter gives Scorsese a chance to experiment with tricks and visual effects. The film won two Oscar nominations. Making $ 80 million domestically, it stands as the most commercially successful release of Scorsese to The Aviator (2004), and then The Departed (2006). The film also marks the first time Scorsese uses the Panavision wide screen with an aspect ratio of 2.35: 1.
The Age of Innocence (1993) is a significant departure for Scorsese, the period of adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel about a constrictive, upper-class society in New York in the 19th century. It was highly praised by the critics on the original release, but was the box office bomb, making the overall loss. As noted in Scorsese on Scorsese by Ian Christie's editor-in-chief, the news that Scorsese wanted to film a 19th-century romance that failed to create many eyebrows among the film fraternity; more than that when Scorsese explained that it was a private project and not a job rented in the studio.
Scorsese is interested in doing "romantic works". His friend Jay Cocks gave him the Wharton novel in 1980, suggesting that this should be a romantic part of Scorsese should film when the Cocks feel it represents his best sensitivity. In Scorsese on Scorsese he recorded it
Though it relates to the New York aristocracy and the neglected period of New York history, and in spite of its code and rituals, and with uncomplicated but unconscious love-which pretty much covers all the themes I usually deal with. - when I read the book, I did not say, "Oh good, all those themes are here."
Scorsese, deeply interested in Wharton's characters and text stories, wanted his film to be rich in emotional experiences like the book to him rather than the traditional academic adaptation of literary works. For this purpose, Scorsese sought the influence of the diverse period films that made an emotional impact on him. In Scorsese on Scorsese , he documents the influences of films such as Luchino Visconti Senso and Il Gattopardo and Orson Welles The Magnificent Ambersons > and also Roberto Rossellini's La gift de pouvoir par Louis XIV . Although The Age of Innocence is ultimately different from these films in terms of narrative, thematic, and thematic attention, the presence of missing societies, missing values ​​and the re-creation of social customs and rituals continue the tradition these films. It's back to the public eye, especially in countries like Britain and France, but much of it is still neglected in North America. The film earned five Academy Award nominations (including for Scorsese for Best Adapted Screenplay), winning Oscar Costume Design. This is his first collaboration with an Academy Award-winning actor, Daniel Day-Lewis, with whom he will work again at the Gang of New York.
Casinos (1995) , such as The Age of Innocence before, focused on men with tight wounds whose well-ordered lives were disrupted by the arrival of unpredictable troops. The fact that it is a violent gangster movie makes it more suitable for the director's fans who may be confused with the apparent departure of the previous film. Casino is a box office success, but the film received mixed notices from critics. Much of this is due to the enormous stylistic similarities to previous Goodfellas, and the excessive violence that earned a reputation for being the most violent American gangster movie ever made. Indeed, many of the figures and tricks of previous films appear more or less intact, the most obvious being the casting of Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, Pesci once again play an uncontrollable psychopath. Sharon Stone was nominated for the Best Actress Actress Award for her performance. During the filming Scorsese played the background part as a gambler at one of the tables.
Scorsese still finds time for a four-hour documentary in 1995, titled Personal Travel with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies, offering a comprehensive journey through American cinemas. It covers the era of silence until 1969, a year after Scorsese began his feature career, stating, "I will not feel rightly commenting with myself or my contemporaries." In the four-hour documentary, Scorsese lists four aspects of the director he considers most important as (1) the director as a storyteller; (2) director as an illusionist: D.W. Griffith or F. W. Murnau, who created new editing techniques among other innovations that allow for the emergence of sounds and colors later on; (3) directors as smugglers - filmmakers like Douglas Sirk, Samuel Fuller, and Vincente Minnelli, used to hide subversive messages in their movies; and (4) director as iconoclast.
If The Age of Innocence alienates and confuses some fans, then Kundun (1997) goes a step further, offering an explanation of the early life of Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, Liberation Army The people entering Tibet, and the Dalai Lama's exile to India. Not a bit of a departure in the subject matter, Kundun also saw Scorsese using a fresh narrative and visual approach. Traditional dramatic tools are replaced with meditations such as trance achieved through elaborate tabloids with colorful visual images. The film is a source of turmoil for its distributor, Buena Vista Pictures, which is planning a significant expansion into the Chinese market at that time. Initially challenging in the face of pressure from Chinese officials, Disney has since abstained from the project, hurting Kundun's commercial profile. In the short term, pure eclecticism in evidence enhances the reputation of the director. In the long run, however, it usually appears that Kundun has been ruled out in the most critical judgment of the director, mostly noted as a stylistic and thematic detour. Kundun is the second attempt of the director to portray the life of a great religious leader, following The Last Temptation of Christ .
Taking Out the Dead (1999) is returning to familiar territory, with director and writer Paul Schrader building his own dark comic take on the previous Taxi Driver . Like previous Scorsese-Schrader collaborations, the last scene of spiritual redemption explicitly remembers Robert Bresson's films. (It is also worth noting that the incident-filled nocturnal setting of this film reminds After Hour .) He received generally positive reviews, though not the universal critical acclaim of some other film. It stars Nicolas Cage, Ving Rhames, John Goodman, Tom Sizemore, and Patricia Arquette.
- Another work in the 1990s
In 1990, Scorsese acted in a small role as Vincent van Gogh in the film Dreams by Japanese director Akira Kurosawa. The 1994 Scorsese appearance in the Robert Redford movie Quiz Show is remembered for the phrase that says: "You see, the audience is not listening to see the incredible display of intellectual ability. They just want to watch the money. "De Fina-Cappa is a production company he formed in the same year as producer Barbara De Fina.
Since the 1990s, Scorsese has enhanced its role as a film producer. Scorsese produces films, including the production of large Hollywood studios (Mad Dog and Glory Clockers ), low-budget independent films ( The Grifters , < i> Naked in New York , Grace of My Heart , Search and Destroy , Hi-Lo Country ), and even movies foreign ( Con gli occhi chiusi ).
2000s
In 1999 Scorsese also produced a documentary about Italian filmmaker Il Mio Viaggio in Italy, also known as My Voyage to Italy. The documentary describes the next director's project, the episode of Gangs of New York (2002), influenced by (among others) great Italian directors such as Luchino Visconti and filmed entirely in Cinecitta Rome's renowned film studio.
With a production budget of more than $ 100 million, the Gang of New York is Scorese's largest and arguably most common effort to date. Like The Age of Innocence, it is set in New York in the 19th century, although it focuses on the other end of the social scale (and like the film, which also stars Daniel Day-Lewis). The film also marks the first collaboration between Scorsese and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who has since become a fixture in the Scorsese film later. Production is very problematic, with many rumors referring to the conflict of directors with Miramax boss Harvey Weinstein. In spite of the rejection of artistic compromise, Gangs of New York reveals itself as the film's most conventional film: standard films traditionally avoided by directors, such as existing characters purely for expository purposes and flashbacks of explanation, at here comes in abundance. The original score compiled by Elmerese regular collaborator Elmer Bernstein was rejected in the final stages to score by Howard Shore and mainstream rock artists U2 and Peter Gabriel.
The final piece of the film goes up to 168 minutes, while the original piece of the director is more than 180 minutes in length. The film still receives positive reviews in general with website reviews Rotten Tomatoes reports that the 75 percent of the reviews they received for the film were positive and summarized the critics by saying, "Despite the disability, the vast and messy Gangs of New York redeemed by the production design impressive and intriguing performance of Hari-Lewis. "The themes at the heart of the film are consistent with the concerns set by the director: New York, violence as an endemic cultural divide, and a subculture that undermines ethnic lines. Originally filmed for release in the winter of 2001 (to qualify for an Academy Award nomination), Scorsese postponed the final production of the film until after the beginning of 2002; the studio consequently delayed the film for almost a year until its release in the late Oscar season of 2002. Gang of New York earned his first Scorsese Golden Globe for Best Director. In February 2003, the Geng of New York received 10 Academy Award nominations, including Best Movie, Best Director, and Best Actor for Daniel Day-Lewis; However, it does not win in any category.
The following year Scorsese completed the production of The Blues, an extensive seven-piece documentary that tracks the history of blues music from African roots to the Mississippi Delta and beyond. Seven filmmakers including Wim Wenders, Clint Eastwood, Mike Figgis, and Scorsese themselves each contributed a 90-minute film (Scorsese entry entitled "Feel Like Going Home").
Scorsese The Aviator (2004) is a great biography of aviation pioneer and eccentric film painter Howard Hughes and reunited Scorsese with actor Leonardo DiCaprio. The film received very positive reviews. The film also meets the widespread box office success and earned Academy recognition.
The Aviator is nominated for six Golden Globe awards, including Best Motion Picture - Drama, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor - Drama Drama for Leonardo DiCaprio. He won three, including Best Motion Picture - Drama and Best Actor - Motion Picture Drama. In January 2005 The Aviator was nominated for the 77th Academy Awards nomination nomination, nominated in 11 categories including Best Picture. The film also garnered nominations in virtually all other major categories, including 5th Best Director nominees for Scorsese, Best Actor in Main Role (Leonardo DiCaprio), Best Actress in Role Supporters (Cate Blanchett), and Alan Alda for Best Actor in Supporting Roles. Despite having a notable tally, the film ends with only five Oscars: Best Actress in Supporting Roles, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Film Editing, and Best Cinematography. Scorsese lost again, this time for Clint Eastwood's director for Million Dollar Baby (which also won Best Picture).
No Direction Home is a documentary by Martin Scorsese describing the life of Bob Dylan, and his influence on American popular music and 20th century culture. This film does not cover all of Dylan's career; this focuses on its beginnings, its emergence became famous in the 1960s, the controversial transformation of a musician and acoustic guitar player into an electric guitar-influenced sound and "retired" from a tour in 1966 following a famous motorcycle accident. The film was first presented on television in the United States (as part of the PBS series of the American Masters) and the UK (as part of the BBC Two series on the Arena) on 26-27 September 2005 The DVD version of the film was released in the same month. The film won the Peabody Award and Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video. In addition, Scorsese received an Emmy nomination for it.
Scorsese returned to the crime genre with a thriller made by Boston The Departed , based on the Hong Kong police drama Infernal Affairs (directed by Andrew Lau and Alan Mak). The film continues Scorsese's collaboration with Leonardo DiCaprio, and is his first collaboration with Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, and Martin Sheen.
The Departed was opened for widespread critical recognition, with some proclaiming it as one of the best efforts that Scorsese brought to the screen since the 1990s Goodfellas and others putting it at the same time. level as the most famous classic Scorsese Taxi Driver and Raging Bull . With domestic box office receipts exceeding US $ 129.4 Ã, million, The Departed is the Scorsese bestselling film (not counting inflation) until 2010 Shutter Island .
The direction of Martin Scorsese from The Departed earned him the second Golden Globe for Best Director, as well as the Critique Choice Award, his first Guild of America Award, and the Academy Award for Best Director. When awarded, Scorsese mocked his previous nomination record, asking, "Can you check the envelope?" It was presented to him by his old friends and his colleagues Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg. The Departed also received an Academy Award for Best Film of 2006, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Picture Editing by the old Scorsese editor Thelma Schoonmaker, her third win for the Scorsese movie.
