My favorite part about Martin Scrosese's work is how much is bubbling underneath the surface of his works.
Taxi Driver captures the post-Vietnam angst of an entire generation looking for a hero in an incredibly dangerous and psychotic way while
The Wolf Of Wall Street provides an unflinching look at 21st century corruption. Something like
Silence could fill multiple essays with its subtext and underlying ideas. For
Raging Bull, there's admittedly not quite as much going on beneath the surface (it's very much a typical "Career victory leads to personal destruction" tale) but it's still quite the riveting tale, no doubt about that.
