TV today earns more than
One of the greatest triumphs of his life and a long overdue
appreciation of his work was the Academy Awards in 2007 for master
director Martin Scorsese. Following numerous nominations for films
like "The Last Temptation of Christ," "GoodFellas," "Raging Bull,"
"Gangs of New York" and "The Aviator" he had gone to the reputation of
the eternal loser on Oscar night, except for " Departed - The Departed
"is a true blessing price went down. The award for best film, best
director, best film editing and best adapted screenplay: The sensation
was perfect. Here, the director of this film was just as uncertain as
rare production.

He who had otherwise been before filming the story board all the
details in mind, allowed his actor Jack Nicholson, the finished script
to spice up with a bunch of new ideas. Scorsese then mounted the
entire material with his wacky Lieblingscutterin Thelma Schoonmaker
completely differently than originally planned: much faster and harder
than that of cinematographer Michael Ballhaus sequences photographed
in quiet scenes. Satisfied, he still was not until the first screening
before an audience was a great success.
