A fresh look at the directorrsquo;s career.When Martin Scorsese finally won an Academy Award in 2007; for The Departed; it was widely viewed as the crowning achievement of a remarkable film career. But what it also represented was an acceptance by Hollywood of a man who became a prestigious auteur precisely because of his status as an outsider from New York. For someone with a high-culture reputation like Scorsesersquo;s; this middlebrow sign of respectability was not about cultural standing; rather; it was about using and even sacrificing his distinctive outsider status for a greater share of industry authority within the world of Hollywood.In Hollywoodrsquo;s New Yorker; Marc Raymond offers a fresh look at Scorsesersquo;s career in relation to the critical and social environment of the past fifty years. He traces Scorsesersquo;s career and films through his association with various cultural institutions; from his role as a student and instructor at New York University; to his move to Hollywood and his relationship with the studio system; to his relationship with prestigious institutions like the Museum of Modern Art. This sociological approach to film authorship provides analysis of previously overlooked Scorsese projects; particularly his documentary work; and gives importance to the role his extracurricular activities in the film preservation movement have played in the rise of his reputation.Hollywoodrsquo;s New Yorker places Scorsese and his films firmly within the various time periods of his career and compares the director with his peers; from fellow New Yorkers like Brian De Palma and Woody Allen to New Hollywood movie brats such as Francis Ford Coppola and Steven Spielberg. The result is a complete picture of Scorsese and the postndash;World War II American film culture he has both shaped and been shaped by.Marc Raymond is Lecturer at the International Language Center at Gachon University in Seongnam; South Korea.

For most of the arrangements both hands only play one note at a time and when there are chords theyre very simple; usually two notes in the left hand. I consider myself a barely intermediate piano faker and I thought the arrangements in this book were a little too simple.That said; the arrangements are well-done for how simple they are and the song choices are excellent. This book is excellent for beginning players and/or sight-readers.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
