Martin Charles Scorsese (/skɔːrˈsɛsi/ skor-SESS-ee, Italian: [skorˈseːze, -se]; born November 17, 1942) is an American filmmaker. One of the major figures of the New Hollywood era, he has received many accolades, including an Academy Award, four BAFTA Awards, three Emmy Awards, a Grammy Award, and three Golden Globe Awards. He has been honoured with the AFI Life Achievement Award in 1997, the Film Society of Lincoln Center tribute in 1998, the Kennedy Center Honor in 2007, the Cecil B. DeMille Award in 2010, and the BAFTA Fellowship in 2012. Four of his films have been inducted into the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant". Scorsese received a Master of Arts degree from New York University's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development in 1968. His directorial debut, Who's That Knocking at My Door(1967), was accepted into the Chicago Film Festival. In the 1970s and 1980s, Scorsese's films, much influenced by his Italian-American background and upbringing in New York City, centred on macho-posturing men and explored crime, machismo, nihilism and Catholic concepts of guilt and redemption. His trademark styles of extensive use of slow motion and freeze frames, voice-over narration, graphic depictions of extreme violence and liberal use of profanity were first shown in Mean Streets (1973). Scorsese won the Palme d'Or at Cannes with Taxi Driver (1976), which starred Robert De Niro as a disturbed Vietnam Veteran. De Niro became associated with Scorsese through eight more films, including New York, New York (1977), Raging Bull (1980), The King of Comedy (1982), Goodfellas (1990), Casino (1995) and The Irishman (2019). In the following decades, he garnered box office success with a series of collaborations with Leonardo DiCaprio, including Gangs of New York (2002), The Aviator (2004), The Departed (2006), Shutter Island (2010), and The Wolf of Wall Street (2013). He worked with both De Niro and DiCaprio on Killers of the Flower Moon (2023). He also directed After Hours (1985), The Color of Money (1986), The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), The Age of Innocence (1993), Kundun (1997), Hugo (2011), and Silence (2016). On television, he has directed episodes for the HBO series Boardwalk Empire (2010–2014) and Vinyl (2016), as well as the HBO documentary Public Speaking (2010) and the Netflix docu-series Pretend It's a City (2021). He has also directed several rock documentaries, including The Last Waltz (1978), No Direction Home (2005), and Shine a Light (2008). He has explored film history in the documentaries A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies(1995) and My Voyage to Italy (1999). An advocate for film preservation and restoration, he has founded three nonprofit organisations: The Film Foundation in 1990, the World Cinema Foundation in 2007 and the African Film Heritage Project in 2017.

Grand Theft Auto V (1997) opens in the late 1990s, during a cold and snowy Christmas season in Ludendorff, North Yankton. In the small, frozen town, Michael Townley, Trevor Philips, and Brad Snider carry out a dangerous bank robbery. The heist quickly spirals out of control when police respond with overwhelming force. During the escape, Michael and Brad are shot. Brad is left behind and presumed dead, while Michael secretly fakes his death, allowing Trevor to escape alone into the chaos. Years later, in Los Santos, Michael resurfaces under a false identity as Michael De Santa. He lives in a luxurious villa in the Hollywood Hills, surrounded by expensive cars and wealth, yet trapped in a hollow suburban life. His family is falling apart, and his quiet existence feels more like a prison than a reward. Despite the comfort, Michael is haunted by his past and his unfinished business. Michael’s controlled life begins to unravel when he crosses paths with Franklin Clinton, a young street hustler and skilled car thief desperate to escape the streets of Los Santos. Seeing potential in Franklin, Michael becomes his mentor. Together, they pull off a major jewelry store heist that shakes the city and draws massive attention from both criminals and law enforcement. Far away, in the desert outskirts of Arizona, in a forgotten town known as Sandy Shores, Trevor Philips lives in squalor, running a violent drug and weapons trafficking operation known as Trevor Philips Enterprises. Paranoid, unstable, and brutal, Trevor survives on chaos. When news breaks of a jewelry store robbery in Los Santos, Trevor recognizes the unmistakable methods of a man he believed was dead. Michael is alive. Fueled by rage, betrayal, and obsession, Trevor leaves the desert behind and returns to Los Santos to confront the past. There, he reunites with Michael and is introduced to Franklin, forming a volatile trio once again. As federal agents close in and powerful criminal forces emerge, the three men are forced into a series of increasingly dangerous heists. Set against the corrupt underworld of Los Santos, the story follows three criminals as they battle federal authorities, rival gangs, and their own inner demons. Loyalty, betrayal, greed, and survival collide in a violent 1990s crime saga where every choice has a consequence. GTA GTAV Fancasting Crime
