Martin Scorsese ■ BIOGRAFÍA Martin Charles Scorsese (Queens, Nueva York, 17 de noviembre de 1942), conocido como Martin Scorsese, es un director, guionista, actor y productor estadounidense de cine, ganador de un Óscar, tres Globos de Oro, dos premios BAFTA, un Primetime Emmy, y un premio del gremio de directores de Estados Unidos, además de ser uno de los fundadores de World Cinema Foundation. Fue condecorado con la Legión de Honor francesa en 1987. Las obras de Scorsese abordan principalmente los temas de la vida italo-estadounidense. Le gusta mucho la música, mundo al que ha dedicado alguna de sus películas (No Direction Home sobre Bob Dylan, Shine a Light sobre los Rolling Stones y George Harrison: Living in the Material World acerca del exmiembro de The Beatles). Ganó un premio MFA por su obra como director de cine otorgado por la prestigiosa escuela de cine de la Universidad de Nueva York. Tras múltiples nominaciones a lo largo de su carrera, ganó finalmente el Óscar al mejor director por su película Los infiltrados, la cual también ganó el Óscar a la mejor película en la 79.ª edición de los Premios de la Academia celebrados en 2007. A su vez, el 17 de enero de 2010 se le otorgó el premio honorífico Cecil B. DeMille en la entrega de los Globos de Oro. Scorsese es presidente de The Film Foundation, una fundación sin fines de lucro dedicada a la preservación del material fílmico en deterioro. Scorsese nació en el distrito de Queens, en la ciudad de Nueva York. Su familia se mudó a Little Italy (Manhattan) antes de que él comenzara la escuela primaria. Su padre, Charles Scorsese, y su madre, Catherine Scorsese, trabajaban en el Garment District; él era planchador de ropa y actor, mientras que ella era costurera y actriz. Scorsese se crió en un ambiente devotamente católico. De niño, como consecuencia del asma, no podía hacer deportes u otras actividades relacionadas, así que sus padres y su hermano mayor solían llevarlo al cine; fue durante esa etapa de su vida cuando desarrolló su interés por las películas. Scorsese ha citado a Victor Mature como uno de sus actores favoritos durante su juventud. También ha mencionado la película Narciso negro (1947) de Powell y Pressburger, cuyas innovadoras técnicas influenciaron más tarde su trabajo como cineasta. Aficionado de adolescente a las epopeyas históricas, al menos dos de las cintas del género, Tierra de faraones y El Cid, han tenido un importante impacto en su estilo como director. Al mismo tiempo, desarrolló una admiración por el cine neorrealista; relató su influencia en un documental sobre el neorrealismo italiano y comentó que Ladri di biciclette, Paisà y Roma, ciudad abierta lo inspiraron e influenciaron su visión o retrato de sus raíces sicilianas. También reconoció la importancia de la Nouvelle vague. Ha citado realizadores como Satyajit Ray, Ingmar Bergman, Michelangelo Antonioni y Federico Fellini como mayores influencias en su carrera. En un principio, mientras asistía a la Cardinal Hayes High School en el Bronx, su deseo era ser sacerdote, pero finalmente se inclinó por el cine. Se matriculó en el Washington Square College de la Universidad de Nueva York, donde en 1964 consiguió un Bachelor of Arts en filología inglesa. Continuó con un Máster en Bellas Artes en la School of the Arts en 1966. Todavía como estudiante de la Tisch School of the Arts, Scorsese realizó los cortometrajes What's a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This? (1963) y It's Not Just You, Murray! (1964). Su trabajo más conocido de esa época es el corto de humor negro The Big Shave (1967), una crítica a la intervención de Estados Unidos en la Guerra de Vietnam. En 1967, Scorsese presentó su primer largometraje, filmado en blanco y negro y titulado I Call First, más tarde retitulado Who's That Knocking at My Door. Ya en la década de 1970 entró en contacto con directores influyentes como Brian De Palma, Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas y Steven Spielberg. En 1972, dirigió Boxcar Bertha por encargo del productor de películas de serie B Roger Corman. Elogiada por la crítica de cine Pauline Kael, Mean Streets significó un avance en las carreras de Scorsese, De Niro y Keitel. Aquí el estilo de Scorsese fraguó finalmente: violencia, culpa y redención católica, sitios crudos de Nueva York, montaje veloz y una banda sonora que incluía música contemporánea. A continuación, Scorsese exploraría sus raíces étnicas en el documental Italianamerican, sobre sus padres Charles y Catherine Scorsese. En 1976, Scorsese asombró al mundo con Taxi Driver. Sobre un libreto de Paul Schrader, quien se inspiró en varias noches noctámbulas que vivió tras su divorcio, Scorsese se vio catapultado al estrellato con esta perturbadora historia, que protagonizó magistralmente un Robert De Niro en plenas facultades tras su gran éxito con El padrino: Parte II. Su enorme fama le dio coraje para afrontar un atípico musical, su primera película de alto presupuesto: New York, New York. La pareja protagonista daba cuerpo a un dúo que a lo largo de varias décadas mantuvieron una relación amorosa mientras trabajaban juntos en varios espectáculos musicales. Este tributo musical a la ciudad natal de Scorsese fue un rotundo fracaso de taquilla. Para entonces, Scorsese ya había desarrollado una grave adicción a la cocaína. Entre su adicción y la depresión provocada por el último filme, Scorsese aún encontró la creatividad suficiente para hacer The Last Waltz (1978). Ese mismo año, apareció otro documental dirigido por Scorsese, titulado American Boy. Convencido de que estaba haciendo su última película, Scorsese invirtió todas sus energías en Raging Bull, sobre la vida y la carrera pugilística del violento y perturbado Jake LaMotta. La película no alcanzó ningún éxito de público. Recuperado por tanto de sus adicciones, Scorsese empezó la nueva década con una película votada la mejor de la década de 1980, por la revista británica Sight and Sound. Tres años después de su drama sobre el boxeo, Scorsese estrenaría una de sus películas menos conocidas y más reivindicables, la comedia negra King of Comedy, de nuevo interpretada por De Niro, que daba vida a un fanático cómico encarnado por Jerry Lewis. Nuevo fracaso de taquilla. En 1985, regresa a Nueva York para rodar un filme más acorde a lo que generalmente se espera de él, un retrato de los bajos fondos neoyorquinos. After Hours, un pseudo yuppie vive una delirante pesadilla dentro de los límites más perturbadores de Soho. La película le reportaría a Scorsese el premio al mejor director en el Festival de Cannes. En 1986, dirigió The Color of Money. El filme es una secuela de The Hustler. Finalmente Scorsese pudo filmar The Last Temptation of Christ en 1988, con un presupuesto modesto pues Scorsese sabía que el filme no iba a arrasar en las taquillas. Por este filme, Scorsese recibió su siguiente nominación al Óscar al mejor director, que tampoco ganó. En 1989, se reunió con sus amigos Francis Ford Coppola y Woody Allen para rodar el filme colectivo Historias de Nueva York, para el que cada uno de ellos dirigiría un mediometraje. El primero de ellos, el de Scorsese, y quizá el mejor: Life Lessons, sobre las relaciones amorosas de un pintor deprimido Lo primero que se vio en 1990 dirigido por él fue el alabado corto documental Made in Milan, en torno a la figura de Giorgio Armani. Pero ese año Scorsese dirigiría su primera película sobre la mafia desde Mean Streets. Con Goodfellas Scorsese regresa al aprendizaje acumulado en Little Italy, para contarnos la historia verídica del exgángster Henry Hill. La película obtuvo un sinfín de alabanzas, y era la favorita para los premios Óscar, largamente codiciados por Scorsese dada su cinefilia, pero perdió en favor de Dances with Wolves de Kevin Costner. Scorsese prosiguió su carrera haciendo un remake de una película clásica: Cape Fear. Resultó el mayor éxito económico de su director hasta la fecha, hasta el estreno de The Departed, aunque teniendo en cuenta que iba en principio a ser dirigida por Steven Spielberg mientras él haría La lista de Schindler (luego se intercambiaron proyectos), y teniendo en cuenta que Spielberg ganaría el Óscar por ésta, supuso una nueva decepción más respecto al Óscar. En 1993, Scorsese regresaría a un cine mucho más personal y arriesgado, con The Age of Innocence. n 1995, rodó una nueva historia de gángsters, con un dúo conocido Casino, sobre los casinos controlados por la mafia en los años 70 y 80 en la ciudad de Las Vegas. 1997 sería el año de otro proyecto no muy bien recibido por sus admiradores, que siempre esperan películas de la mafia: Kundun. En 1999, estrenó Bringing Out the Dead, la otra cara de la moneda de la pesadilla urbana de Taxi Driver, sobre un paramédico noctámbulo incapaz de olvidar que una noche no pudo salvar a una drogadicta e intenta redimirse. La película fue acogida con frialdad. En 2002, Scorsese por fin dirigió uno de sus más ansiados proyectos, Gangs of New York, la cual fue su empresa más arriesgada hasta el momento, con presupuesto superior a los cien millones de dólares, el más alto en la carrera de Scorsese. Recibió diez nominaciones al Óscar. El siguiente filme de Scorsese fue The Aviator, película biográfica del excéntrico multimillonario y pionero de la aviación Howard Hughes. Ganó tres Globos de Oro. Después de presentar su documental sobre Bob Dylan en 2005, No Direction Home, sorprendió a todos en 2006 con su galardonada The Departed, remake de la aclamada película china Infernal Affairs. El 25 de febrero de 2007, la Academia de Artes y Ciencias Cinematográficas de Hollywood le entregaba el Óscar al mejor director con lo que finalmente Scorsese se hacía con la estatuilla a la que había estado nominado 8 veces y nunca había ganado, ni como director ni como guionista.

  • 1 Evolving Authorship, Developing Contexts: 'Life Lessons'
    Notes 1 Evolving Authorship, Developing Contexts: ‘Life Lessons’ 1. This trajectory finds its seminal outlining in Caughie (1981a), being variously replicated in, for example, Lapsley and Westlake (1988: 105–28), Stoddart (1995), Crofts (1998), Gerstner (2003), Staiger (2003) and Wexman (2003). 2. Compare the oft-quoted words of Sarris: ‘The art of the cinema … is not so much what as how …. Auteur criticism is a reaction against sociological criticism that enthroned the what against the how …. The whole point of a meaningful style is that it unifies the what and the how into a personal state- ment’ (1968: 36). 3. For a fuller discussion of the conception of film authorship here described, see Grist (2000: 1–9). 4. While for this book New Hollywood Cinema properly refers only to this phase of filmmaking, the term has been used by some to designate ‘either something diametrically opposed to’ such filmmaking, ‘or some- thing inclusive of but much larger than it’ (Smith, M. 1998: 11). For the most influential alternative position regarding what he calls ‘the New Hollywood’, see Schatz (1993). For further discussion of the debates sur- rounding New Hollywood Cinema, see Kramer (1998), King (2002), Neale (2006) and King (2007). 5. ‘Star image’ is a concept coined by Richard Dyer in relation to film stars, but it can be extended to other filmmaking personnel. To wit: ‘A star image is made out of media texts that can be grouped together as promotion, publicity, films and commentaries/criticism’ (1979: 68). 6. See, for example, Grant (2000), or the conception of ‘post-auteurism’ out- lined and critically demonstrated in Verhoeven (2009).

Revenue is also the most important and intuitionistic feedback to producers, directors and actors. Therefore it is worth for us to put effort on analyzing what factors correlate to revenue, so that producers, directors and actors know how to get higher revenue on next movie by focusing on most correlated factors. Our project focuses on anaylzing all kinds of factors that correlated to revenue, for example, genres, elements in the movie, popularity, release month, runtime, vote average, vote count on website and cast etc. After analysis, we can clearly know what are the crucial factors to a movie's revenue and our analysis can be used as a guide for people shooting movies who want to earn higher renveue for their next movie. They can focus on those most correlated factors, for example, shooting specific genre and hire some actors who have higher average revenue. Reasrch Question: Various factors blend together to create a high revenue for movie, but what are the most important aspect contribute to higher revenue? What aspects should people put more effort on and what factors should people focus on when they try to higher the revenue of a movie? http://localhost:8888/nbconvert/html/Desktop/MyProjects/Pr_085/FinalProject.ipynb?download=false Page 1 of 62 FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM Hypothesis: We predict that the following factors contribute the most to movie revenue.
