More than viscerally portraying the underbelly of America through various criminal enterprises or the psychological burdens of alienated outcasts, Martin Scorsese strives for authenticity. Expressive verisimilitude from characters and environments is the heart of each of his films. Goodfellas is a shining crystallization of Italian culture. Mean Streets is an autobiographical recount of what life is like growing up in the tough neighborhood of Little Italy. Few films are as emotionally honest and vulnerable as Taxi Driver and Raging Bull. In many instances, Scorsese cast real-life figures to play their dramatized selves on screen, and no individual excelled under the bright lights of Scorsese's direction quite like Richard "Bo" Dietl.
