**Martin Scorsese** (alizaliwa Queens, New York, 17 Novemba 1942) ni mmoja wa watengeneza filamu mashuhuri na wenye ushawishi mkubwa duniani.

## Maisha

Alizaliwa Marekani katika familia ya wahamiaji kutoka Italia. Scorsese alikulia katika mazingira ya Kikatoliki na hii ilijidhihirisha sana katika kazi zake za baadaye ambapo mara nyingi alijadili masuala ya dhambi, wokovu, na hatia.

Scorsese alianza kuvutiwa na filamu akiwa mdogo kutokana na matatizo ya pumu ambayo yalimzuia kushiriki michezo ya nje. Badala yake, alitumia muda wake mwingi akitazama sinema. Aliendelea na elimu yake katika chuo kikuu cha New York (NYU), ambako alisomea uigizaji na utengenezaji wa filamu. Hapa ndipo alipoanza kuonyesha kipaji chake na kupata sifa nyingi kutoka kwa walimu na wanafunzi wenzake.

Kazi ya Scorsese katika sanaa ilianza rasmi katika miaka ya 1960, lakini ni katika miaka ya 1970 alipata umaarufu mkubwa kupitia filamu kama "Mean Streets" (1973) na "Taxi Driver" (1976). "Taxi Driver" ilimuinua Scorsese katika daraja la juu la utengenezaji filamu na ilimpatia tuzo nyingi sana. Filamu hii ilimshirikisha Robert De Niro, ambaye amekuwa mshirika wa karibu wa Scorsese katika kazi nyingi za baadaye.

Katika maisha yake binafsi, Scorsese amekuwa na changamoto mbalimbali. Ameoa mara tano na ana watoto kadhaa. Pamoja na changamoto hizo, ameweza kudumisha umahiri wake katika utengenezaji wa filamu. Amejulikana pia kwa harakati zake za kuhifadhi filamu za kale na historia ya sinema, akianzisha mashirika kama The Film Foundation ili kusaidia juhudi hizo.

Scorsese amekuwa na ushawishi mkubwa katika tasnia ya filamu duniani, akiwasaidia watengenezaji filamu wachanga na kuwa mfano wa kuigwa. Amepokea tuzo nyingi, ikiwa ni pamoja na Academy Award ya Best Director kwa filamu "The Departed" (2006).
