Martin Scorsese is amongst the most recognizable names in Hollywood. His success as a director can be attributed to many things, such as his postmodernist style and his amazing cinematography skills, but what his success as a director truly hinges on is the development of characters, and relationships amongst them, within his movies. Like any great director, Scorsese pulls inspiration for his movies from his own life experience, and as an Italian-American growing up in 1940s and 50s New York,…

In The gift of the magi, Jim and Della have their most prized possessions a watch and some hair and In Lather and nothing else, The barber has his…
