Martin Scorsese has many films that present psychological and physical violence, such as Taxi Driver (1976) and Raging Bull (1980). Much of what these leading men have to deal with occurs inside their own mind. Because of these conflicts that exist internally with hardly any resolve, it creates psychological violence that becomes a struggle within. Eventually, this unseen fight in the mind manifests into physical violence. Though violence doesn’t occur the way it does in past Scorsese films, Hugo (2011) presents characters that have undergone psychological trauma, which leads them to act out in aggression. The internal struggle is the trauma that they’re trying to overcome, yet encourages their actions and decisions through the narrative.
