Sažetak
Martin Scorsese is a crucial figure of American cinema, and one of the few filmmakers who have the gift to skillfully adapt genres and themes throughout the decades by making them contemporary in their core. Since his first appearance on the American film scene, this director has made a remarkable corpus of films by successfully merging together commercial with exploitative. This thesis explores how the notions of violence, ethnicity, masculinity, and Catholicism have influenced Scorsese as a filmmaker, and his construction of lead protagonists in his films Taxi Driver (1976), Raging Bull (1980), and The Last Temptation of Christ (1988). Scorsese’s characters are inner-conflicted, in constant search for redemption, and central to the plot of the film, which makes the three mentioned films character-driven.
