Martin Scorsese has a special liking for marriage breakdowns. Generally speaking, the story goes like this: the male protagonist was born in a poor family or had an unhappy family, and after struggling to achieve success, he abandoned his wife after success, and then began to go downhill. , because the wife who was with him left him, the male protagonist went to prison, and after being released from prison, he lived a better life than before, but still a good life, "Goodfellas", "The Wolf of Wall Street", "Angry Bull", etc. More or less stick to this pattern.
Martin has also made no secret of his disgust with this era of drunken money. Just like most people, he didn't know what to do. Robert De Niro in "Taxi Driver" had nowhere to vent his anger in the face of life. After failing to assassinate the president, he turned to a brothel to rescue the girl, and finally However, he was mistakenly regarded as a hero. At the end of the film, De Niro also recognized the reality.
There are many people in this world who want to be Don Quixote, Van Gogh, and Kafka, and fight against the whole world. There are too many, and some of them have indeed achieved things that ordinary people can't do, and have achieved what ordinary people can't achieve. heights, but without exception have paid a huge price.
As a director, Martin is just as angry and dissatisfied with the world. Maybe these opposites have never been smoothed out in his heart, but instead of fighting the world to the end, he is more like most of us, saying to himself: Forget it, that's it Bar. It's just that when filming, these dissatisfaction and anger will flow out involuntarily, turning into the broken marriage of the protagonist, the extreme depravity and involuntary pain.
