Martin Scorsese
motivation

Although he is dramatic and likes to show off or stand out in some way (as described on the previous page), there is another side to Martin Scorsese that would gladly hole up in a deep, dark, quiet place. This other, more private and secretive side is described below.

Quiet, deep, emotionally complex and intensely private, he is not a person who is easy to get to know and understand. Martin Scorsese is extremely sensitive but disinclined to show it, and he only allows a special few into his inner world. Like a wary animal, he is cautious and mistrustful of those he does not know until "he sniffs them out". He is highly instinctive and intuitive. Martin Scorsese usually has a strong, immediate gut reaction to people, even though he may be unable to clearly articulate why he feels the way he does. His feelings and perceptions go deeper than words.

Martin Scorsese also has a powerful need for deep emotional relationships and he forms very intense love bonds and attachments. He is possessive and often jealous of anyone or anything that he perceives as a threat to his relationship with someone he loves. When Martin Scorsese commits himself to someone or something, he is wholeheartedly devoted and expects complete loyalty in return. Martin merges with or "marries" the person he loves at a very deep level and therefore separations are extremely painful for him, and often stormy and nasty. When Scorsese has been wounded, he is not inclined to turn the other cheek and will retaliate if at all possible. Martin will most certainly never forget the hurt and he often harbors grievances and resentment for a very long time. Forgiveness does not come easily to him.

Whatever he does, Martin does with passion and fervor, and he often goes to extremes. Scorsese can be hot or cold, but never lukewarm about anything. Scorsese can also be very narrow-minded: either he is 100% involved in something or it does not exist for him at all. Rarely is Martin Scorsese emotionally detached and objective. He definitely has a fanatical streak. He is also immensely strong-willed and his tenacity in pursuing his objectives often borders on obsession. He is filled with fierce pride, courage and emotional strength.

Martin Scorsese loves mysteries and is deeply attracted to the hidden, dark, secret side of life. Martin never takes things at face value and is always probing beneath the surface of people and situations to discover what is really going on. Martin Scorsese tends to be more of a cynic than an idealist.

He is a private person and inclined to withdraw in very public and impersonal social settings. Martin Scorsese prefers to work at home or in a very personal small business.

Scorsese invests a lot of his creative energy into his home, family relationships, and his inner life.

Martin Scorsese is loving and well loved by others, and has a strong need for relationships that offer kindness, friendship and affection. His artistic and creative powers are also well developed and Martin does everything in a harmonious, gracious, pleasing manner. Aesthetics are very important to Scorsese, as are his personal appearance and attractiveness.

Martin has lofty aspirations but does not struggle or labor to achieve them. His self-confidence and inner harmony attract success and benefit him in an almost magical way. His optimism and cheerful generosity also win Scorsese many allies and successes in life.
