Director Martin Scorsese understands the significance of a story s location. Taxi Driver wouldn t have had the same effect in a town in Florida as it did in gritty 1970 s New York City, for example. Scorsese s period piece Gangs of New York also showcased the city in the 1800s. The film won the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Production Design and was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, and Best Director. In 2006, the acclaimed director headed to the city of Boston specifically South Boston for his crime-thriller, The Departed, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Both DiCaprio and Scorsese then returned to Beantown for the 2010 film Shutter Island.

On a heart that was the most giving one among all the people I’ve known. Life in America at that second continues without a ripple. Only, my life changes, divided into before-the-call and after-the-call.
I ask my now-ex. “Will you come with me?” like a child.
