Named after filmmaker Martin Scorsese, the "Scorsese Effect" is when a work of art is created to negatively portray a character or group of people, but unintentionally inspires fans to try and imitate them. Usually these people misunderstand the point of the film and think the message was to try and be like the protagonist. Many of Scorsese's movies are centered around characters like these, such as "The Wolf of Wall Street," "Taxi Driver," and "Goodfellas".
Other examples include "Fight Club," "Breaking Bad," "The Sopranos," and the Joker.

Guy 1: Doesn't Mark understand the point of Fight Club was to show what can happen when men try to compartmentalize their anger and aggression into physical violence?
Guy 2: Yeah, it's the Scorsese Effect at work.
Mark: We live in a society.

the pairing of scorpious malfoy and rose granger-weasley which was only logical before the release of cursed child. scorpious malfoy is clearly gay for albus malfoy and no one can say otherwise
rose is to scorpious as cho chang is to harry; harry thought he wanted cho but what he wanted was ginny; scorpious thinks he wants rose but what he wants is albus.

Get the scorose mug.ridiculously good or absurd. Crazy like Martin Scorsese. Crizzazy is partly a play of slang and also has additional syllables to make it rhyme more smoothly. Martin Scorsese is one of the best directors to have worked in film and absurdity is tied to his name because while he is one of the best, he does not have a oscar.
Person 1: Dude, I was ready for that test but it was all trick questions.
Person 2: That's crizzazy like martin scorsese

Get the scorse mug.An undisputed genius.
Made some of the greatest films that centered on Italian-American culture and has created some of the richest, unforgettable characters ever portrayed in a film. It's a fucking SHAME that he won a best director Oscar in 2006 for "The Departed". TWO THOUSAND AND SIX? SHIT! That long?

I would love to work with Martin Scorsese someday...before he dies. Because he is quite old. =( Some of my favorite Scorsese films are Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, and Goodfellas. I still have not seen all of his films and should.
