MARTIN SCORSESE : One of AMERICA's Most Important Film Makers

MARTIN SCORSESE : 

One of AMERICA's Most 

Important Film Makers 

by +Joshua A. TRILIEGI

This year, we will be given another 

opus film by one of the greatest film 

makers that America has ever created. 

Strange and challenged experiences 

in life seem to create great artists of 

a major caliber. 

+Martin Scorsese was a child entangled with sickness, born of Italian 

parents in a tough neighborhood, he retreated into the great movie 

houses of New York City, learned the craft of classic film making by 

watching the great early American directors such as John Ford, John 

Huston and Orson Welles. From the European masters, Mr. Scorsese 

was influenced by Alfred Hitchcock, Luchino Visconti, Jean Renoir, 

Michael Powell, Roberto Rosellini, Frederico Fellini, Andrzel Wajda & 

Mizoguchi Kenji among others.

Open Letter in Support of The Abolishment of Surveillance Abuse

I would like to write freely about the issues, concerns and pertinent 

matters that concern my community, my country and the world.

We all know very well that we have more people in the 'audience'

than just interested readers. While 'THEY' are watching us, lets

take the moment to teach 'THEM' by using the platform of our writing,

our music, our artworks to educate the EYES and EARS around us.

OSCAR HIJUELOS : An Appreciation of The Pulitzer Prize Winning Author

OSCAR HIJUELOS : An Appreciation

Pulitzer Prize winning Author of Mambo Kings Sings 

Songs of Love has completed his last Conga Solo

By Joshua A. TRILIEGI

 The day that I first came across a copy of Oscar Hijuelos 's 

Novel " Mambo Kings Sing Song's of Love " was the day I 

had decided that I wanted to be a novelist. I had published 

poems, written songs, created short stories and had a 

screenplay considered as a finalist at the Sundance Writers 

workshop. I had never written a novel, but upon reading 

Mambo Kings, there was a passion, an honesty, a raw 

intensity that described a world, an experience, a view 

into a private and personal experience that, to me, was 

perfect. It was as if his story about latin jazz musicians 

from Cuba, spoke directly to me. It said, this is a world 

of men and women , music and silence, love and hate , 

loss and gain , pain and pleasure, rejection and acceptance,

power and peasants, talent and ownership, life and death.

I changed the direction of my entire life because of Oscar 

Hijuelos. While working comfortably as an artist, furniture 

designer, interior designer and sometime art department 

assistant for film, I left it all behind and moved to Milwaukee 

Wisconsin to research my own novel based on real life events 

in my own family heritage. I had been conducting interviews 

with family members for over a decade, but until I had found 

Mambo Kings, I had no idea ' how ' to go about compiling, 

expressing and telling the stories I was being told. Mr Hijuelos'

broad, colorful, expansive and passionate storytelling style 

became a road map for me. I must have read and re read 

his novel several times a year for several years. Whenever, 

I got stuck, lost inspiration or needed that extra boost, it 

always brought me back into the fold.

Dear Readers and Writers at The Poetry Foundation Site,

I appreciated reading THE COMMENTS here as much as The Article.

My name is Joshua Triliegi. I Publish an Arts and Culture Magazine.

As a younger man, I wrote and read much Poetry. Preferring the free form aspect of it, 

the anything goes. I loved the freedom and never thought twice about fact or fiction. 

The imagination of it all, that is the attraction, depending on the author. Usually, there 

is an unspoken code in the Literary World : If It's Charles BUKOWSKI, most of it did 

happen, to a certain extent. If its Kerouac, Ginsberg or Burroughs, same thing goes, 

same rules apply.
