Take the following as truth: This kind of realism marks Scorsese's next two films, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore --his best piece of directing-for-hire, and one of the half-forgotten gems of the period--and Taxi Driver , both of which were critically and commercially successful.
Then the following statement: "Scorsese's next two films are marked by this kind of realism, according to the critics." is true, false, or inconclusive?
