Hollywood legends don't come much bigger than Martin Scorsese. You can argue about where he stands in the 'greatest film directors of all time' list, but you can't deny that he belongs at the top end of the scale. Scorsese has been working in cinema for five decades, and has made some of the most iconic movies in history. During that time, he's racked up more awards than we could even begin to count. Perhaps Pixar was paying a little tribute to him when they designed the main character in 'Up.'
If you've never seen 'Up,' we have two pieces of advice for you. The first is to watch it immediately, because it's excellent. The second is to grab some tissues, because you're going to cry. 'Up' is one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful animated films of all time, and Carl Fredrickson is the character at the center of it, deeply missing his wife the whole time. He looks exactly like Scorsese - just a little more somber and wearier of the world.
