course work quotes

Item 7-
"Although a certain nebbishy auteur has come to stand as the paradigm of the New York director, there are arguably two other candidates well suited for that honor. Martin Scorsese and Spike Lee."

Item8-
"Martin Scorsese is known for collaborating with a tight-knit group of actors throughout his career: In his legendary run in the Seventies and Eighties, he worked frequently with Robert De Niro; in recent years, he's found acclaim directing Leonardo DiCaprio."

Item9-
"Leonardo DiCaprio will star in the long-in-development “The Devil in the White City” with Martin Scorsese directing for Paramount, sources confirm.
The project, which has been in the works for more than a decade, reunites DiCaprio with Scorsese two years after “The Wolf of Wall Street.”"

Item10-
"Yet the DiCaprio/Scorsese relationship has become enormously productive for both artists, helping to define both of their careers for over a decade and, as such, becoming a vital part of Scorsese’s development as an artist."

Item11-
"This self-described accidental collaboration has produced five distinct films so far, each with its own singular lead performance from DiCaprio: In “Gangs of New York,” he played an immigrant in a city on the cusp of self-destruction; in “The Aviator,” he was the influential and inimitable Howard Hughes; in “Shutter Island,” he was a detective looking to solve a mysterious disappearance at a psychiatric facility; in “The Departed,” he portrayed an undercover cop attempting to take down an infamous mob boss; and now, in “Wolf of Wall Street,” he plays a scumbag trying to scam money off of unsuspecting civilians. This is an impressive body of work. The fact that it was done with Martin Scorsese, one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, makes it that much more remarkable."

Item13-
"They form one of Hollywood's most successful partnerships.

Now Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese are preparing for a sixth collaboration together."
