But what really sets apart Scorsese's works is the abundance of great characters that come from different backgrounds and have strong personalities. So which character would you be, based on your zodiac sign?
Aries: Henry Hill (Goodfellas, 1990)
The Aries sign is known for its traits of independence, assertiveness, and leadership. People with this sign are brave and hate to be restricted, but they can also be impulsive and selfish.
Henry Hill from Goodfellas is definitely an Aries. Once he has learned a way to get everything he wants, he continues working towards getting more and more until his eventual demise.
Taurus: Jake La Motta (Raging Bull, 1980)
People with the Taurus sign are stubborn and down to earth individuals. They are determined and dependable as well as being loyal. However, they can get distracted from their aim by seeking pleasure.
Jake La Motta from Raging Bull is an example of this sign. He has a bad temper which constantly influences his relationships with the people closest to him. Yet, he remains an outstanding boxer.
Gemini: Colin Sullivan (The Departed, 2006)
Geminis have been called two-faced and mischievous, even though they actually possess many good features too, such as intelligence and ambitiousness. They also tend to have many talents and enjoy playing games though they can be selfish too.
Colin Sullivan from The Departed is definitely a Gemini. He has been a part of an Irish Mob for years, yet he manages to pretty much infiltrate the police and act as an insider.
Cancer: Sam "Ace" Rothstein (Casino, 1995)
Cancers are friend-oriented and practical. They hate to argue and quickly forgive others, though they never forget. They are nurturing and emotional, but they can also be sensitive and self-absorbed.
Sam "Ace" Rothstein from Casino is a Cancer who is also incredibly motivated and determined. He is the person who solves all the problems in the casino.
Leo: Jordan Belfort (The Wolf of Wall Street, 2013)
Leos are the popular people who also happen to be creative, faithful, generous, inspiring, and confident. On the other hand, they can be dominating and prideful.
Jordan Belfort from The Wolf of Wall Street is obviously a Leo. He loves the attention, but he is also the leader of his group because of who he is.
Virgo: Teddy Daniels (Shutter Island, 2010)
Virgos can easily become successful in whichever field they have chosen, but that is probably due to them being perfectionists at their core. They are kind, reliable, clever, and creative. But they also enjoy pleasing those around them, which can throw them off their tracks.
Detective Teddy Daniels, the main protagonist of Shutter Island, is a character with this zodiac sign. He is determined to find the truth - and heartbroken once he realizes what is actually going on.
Libra: Frank Sheeran (The Irishman, 2019)
Libras are irresistible, adventurous individuals. They can have complicated love lives because of their indecisiveness and fearfulness, but they are still quite friendly and fair.
Frank Sheeran from The Irishman seems to be a Libra, though he is definitely more contained and doesn't actually look for adventures actively. That being said, he is still very friendly towards everyone around him.
Scorpio: Travis Bickle (Taxi Driver, 1976)
Scorpios are self-reliant, powerful, wise, ionate, and unpredictable. But they are also dominant, secretive, and even bitter, which negatively impacts their overall image.
Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver is definitely a Scorpio, even if he is quite anti-social at the beginning. By the end of the film, he develops a strong personality, but he is still not a good person.
Sagittarius: Bill "The Butcher" Cutting (Gangs of New York, 2002)
People of the Sagittarius sign are open-minded, loving, brave, and straightforward. They are usually achievers who work hard towards their goals. However, they can be insensitive, cold, and hot-headed.
Bill "The Butcher" Cutting, one of the characters in Gangs of New York, is seemingly a Sagittarius. He is cruel and merciless towards his enemies, but he is also confident in himself and knows how to get what he wants.
Capricorn: Billy Costigan (The Departed, 2006)
Capricorns are considered to be hardworking and ambitious people who don't feel content until they reach the top. They are straightforward, stubborn, organized, and loyal, but they can also be egotistical.
Billy Costigan, another character from The Departed, is a Capricorn. He comes from a questionable background, but he really wants to prove that he can be a good person.
