“Our Hearts belong to Marty”
by Mark A. Wilson
 If
longevity and versatility can be the hallmarks of creative genius,then
Martin Scorsese should be considered one of Hollywood’s greatest
genius’.
From
the raw cinematic power and gritty realism he used to evoke the
life of a professional boxer in Raging Bull (1980)
to the refined elegance and poignant suffering of two frustrated
lovers caught in the web of upper class hypocrisy in 1870’s
New York City, which he brilliantly depicted in “The
Age of Innocence” (1991). Scorsese has shown a rare
and uncanny ability to draw us into the lives and times of his characters.
Perhaps
Scorsese’ greatest talent, and one which has eluded most other
Hollywood directors, is his ability to bring to life the sites,
sounds, indeed the very feelings of past historic eras. For instance,in
his epic film about the early days of gang violence in America,
“The Gangs of New York”,(2002), he
re-creates the dirt, disease and vermin of New York’s 19th
century slums as the backdrop for a titanic battle of wills and
struggle for survival between his two major protagonists, portrayed
with palpable intensity by Daniel Day-Lewis and Leonardo DiCaprio.
 In
his current film tour-de-force, about the pioneering entrepreneur
Howard Hughes, “The Aviator”, (2004),
Scorsese makes us feel the personal and professional triumphs as
well as the tragedies that Hughes experienced during his mercurial
and enigmatic life.
This
film received a rare honor of eleven Academy Award nominations and
it’s apparent to his millions of devotees over the past thirty
years, that this recognition of his unique talent by his peers is
long overdue.
