St. Kubrick vs Scorsese

For me a difference between the work of Martin Scorsese and Stanley Kubrick is the way they present their ideas in movies. I think that Kubrick like to emphasize the conflicts and problems in the movies by the use of mise-en-scene (with costumes, décor, etc), while Scorsese uses to presents the conflict in a very natural way. I compare the movie Mean Streets with Clockwork orange. In Mean Streets we can find a lot of messages behind the main plot for example racism but is something that we find out because a simple conversation or commentary. In Clockwork orange when Kubrick wants the viewer to catch something he try to exaggerate it with a high contrast between what is natural or common and what is forced to be noticed, for example the kind of boy that Alex is, is exaggerate with a uncommon costume, make up, décor and colors.
