With Robert DeNiro, one of the most talented young actors from this film, Scorsese went on to make some of the greatest American films of the postwar period, including \u003ci\u003eTaxi Driver \u003c\/i\u003e(1976), \u003ci\u003eRaging Bull\u003c\/i\u003e (1980), and \u003ci\u003eGoodfellas\u003c\/i\u003e (1990). A Scorsese film seldom fails to stir controversy, for his devotion to realism has led him to forthrightly depict violence and its frightening randomness in the modern world. His biblical film also created quite a stir. This adaptation of Kazantzakis's \u003ci\u003eThe Last Temptation of Christ\u003c\/i\u003e generated outrage among conservative religious leaders. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Scorsese, however, has not limited himself to contemporary, violent urban dramas or new interpretations of biblical subjects.
