The show focuses mainly on ***madness*** or : the tragic existence of a kindhearted Vanessa Ives who unwillingly serves as a conduit for the abstract notion of the apocalypse or “end of days”.

Martin Charles Scorsese (born November 17, 1942) is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, actor, and film historian. Scorsese was raised in New York City by two devout Catholic Sicilian actors. Martin had asthma, and as a result wasn’t able to play sports and engage in outdoor activities like many of the other children. Marty found other interests however, as his passion for cinema developed at a very early age. Enamored with the stories that the films of his time were telling, Scorsese went to NYU film school, and after graduating started making films of his own. After becoming friends with the ‘movie brats’ of the 1970s: Francis Ford Coppola, Brian De Palma, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg, Marty was ready to make his mark on Hollywood. He went on to make such films as Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and Goodfellas– all of which he collaborated on with actor and close friend Robert De Niro. He is a recipient of the AFI Life Achievement Award for his contributions to the cinema, and has won Oscars, Emmys, Golden Globes, BAFTAs, and DGA Awards. Scorsese’s body of work addresses such themes as Italian American identity, Roman Catholic concepts of guilt and redemption, machismo, modern crime and violence. Scorsese is hailed as one of the most significant and influential American filmmakers of all time, and is known for his uncanny ability to create a warm, positive, and encouraging environment on-set. Indeed Marty values “harmonious relations” and “can handle people with charm and concern”. Sweet-hearted, charismatic, highly nurturing, very expressive, and a natural leader of groupsMartin Scorsese is undoubtedly a Teacher Idealist. Certainly Marty is arguably the best director of his generation, and has an incredible ability to put himself in the shoes of the people he is making a movie about:
Teachers have a highly developed ability to empathize by introjection, that is, taking into themselves the characteristics, emotions, and beliefs of others—even to the point of unconsciously mimicking others. But this unusual ability to relate to other with empathy can also pose a danger for them, because they can easily over-identify with others and pick up their burdens as if they were their own, actually putting at risk their own identity.
Now more than ever we need to talk to each other, to listen to each other and understand how we see the world, and cinema is the best medium for doing this.
