Scorsese acknowledged that Morris’ illness has changed the way he chooses his film projects, looking for options that adapt to the needs of his wife and the pace that her age demands. “I can at a certain point say: ‘Marty, you know, this movie at your age now, this and that. They can’t travel. Do you want to make a movie that’s only filmed close to home?’ “I may have to do it,” said.
Despite the challenges, the Raging Bull director did not get complicated, since they are “those types of things” that inevitably have to be dealt with. That’s why, He confessed that he considers his wife a true role model. “I have never seen such strength in a person, such fortitude,” Marty said, describing Helen’s positive attitude toward life “in the worst of circumstances.”
