DIRECTOR
Martin Scorsese
The current MovieAnchor index highlights two very different Scorsese crime dramas: Taxi Driver, built around isolation and subjective perception, and Goodfellas, built around belonging inside organized crime.
Movies in the current index
What stands out
Subjective perspective
Both films keep viewers close to characters whose interpretation of the world cannot be treated as neutral.
Crime as environment
Violence is connected to social systems, identity and belonging rather than isolated events.
Style and psychology
Editing, music, voice-over and camera movement reflect how the protagonist experiences the world.
Where to start
Start with Goodfellas if you want speed, voice-over and criminal-world immersion. Choose Taxi Driver for a slower, more disturbing character study.
