>"These movies are a danger to our culture,” Scorsese said. “Because there are going to be generations now that think movies are only those — that’s what movies are. Some already think that. Which means that we have to fight back stronger. And it’s got to come from the grassroots level. It’s gotta come from the filmmakers themselves. And you’ll have, you know, the Safdie brothers, and you’ll have Chris Nolan, you know what I mean? Hit ’em from all sides. Hit ’em from all sides, and don’t give up. Let’s see what you got. Go out there and do it. Go reinvent. Don’t complain about it. We’ve got to save cinema. Cinema could be anything. It didn’t just have to be serious. 'Some Like It Hot' — that was cinema, for instance. Manufactured content isn’t really cinema. Streaming isn't cinema. It's almost like AI making a film. And that doesn’t mean that you don’t have incredible directors and special effects people doing beautiful artwork. But what does it mean? What do these films give you? Aside from the consummation of something and then eliminating it from your mind, your whole body, what is it giving you?"

from one hack job to another
Cringe boomer, die already you old frick
>Taxi Driver
>mafia movie
Lol. Lmao even
Also what is Silence, Age of Innocence, The Aviator, Wolf of Wall Street, Hugo, Shutter Island, Last Temptation of Christ, After Hours, Raging Bull...
A few of the dude's best known films are gangster films. That doesn't mean that's all he makes. He's basically made something in every single genre.
That’s mean streets not taxi driver
shit I'm moronic. Still, my point of him having variety stands.
Funny thing is on paper I have no issue with fantasy/superhero shit - its just the ones coming out now are just corporate slop.
>just let people enjoy things
Fine, but doesn't change my opinion that the majority of people are braindead morons who, by spending money and attention on corporate capeshit slop, while ignoring any unique or artistic projects are ruining film/TV as an art form.
If scorsese had any balls he would call out individual film makers. The fact that he mentions nolan proves that capeshit can be decent by his own standards. He should be more granular with his crticism. "Whedon makes horrid dialogue", "feige should be directing tv". But he doesnt give a shit about the current and future state of his industry, he just wants to wax nostalgic and look down on modern creators without getting personal.
The only people who go personal are the ones who have nothing to lose or already got exiled from the industry like Welles. It's not professional and frankly of bad taste.
That is actually a good point I'll concede.
Still I have no issue with him shitting on Marvel. Words cannot describe how sick I am of the bland, corporate slop they've churned out over the past decade. I'm just happy it seems they're finally starting to spiral into comparative irrelevance (or rather I hope so).
Yeah, well the mandalorian is a western and the new mutants is a horror movie. See? You can have different genres with big IPs and superheroes too. Just let people enjoy things
Mean Streets would have been better if Spider-Man saved Johnny Boy at the end
These movies will be talked about more in 50 years than any capeshit
>Has 6-7* mafia movies in a 20 movie filmography
*Mean Streets, Goodfellas, Casino, Gangs of New York? The Departed? The Irishman
>Chris Nolan
I take it Scorse hasnt seen Nolan's Batman.
>de from the consummation of something and then eliminating it from your mind, your whole body, what is it giving you?"
Nolan Batman's wasnt a committee-made movie. He doesnt mind pop corn shit, or even capeshit, he is complaining against corporate driven products being the main focus of the industry, there's no difference between corporate slop and AI made products
marveslop is the mafiaslop of today
Now there's a promising young man we could use in our organization.
Here’s that young Italian stallion I was tellin you about!
>booming noises
>war on Marvel
based
>war on streaming
cringe
But he got money from Shitflix. Why is he complaining? Return it then.
Wish he would shut his trap and give us sharktale 2 already
This master plan sadly hinges on audiences actually wanting good movies like we used to have but zoomers are morons
Exactly this. Paul Schrader knows what's up. He said movies can't go back to being good because audiences have become low IQ morons who demand pointless slop. Scorsese doesn't seem to understanding that Hollywood is simply the supplier. They aren't forcing people to watch these franchise films. The masses want them and the masses are idiots.
Exactlty. True intellectuals need a new medium to enjoy. Pic very much related

Interesting.
So what is Marty doing to encourage a new generation of filmmakers to make films? I assume he must actively be getting involved and recognising that the industry is stagnating due to rampant nepotism and focus-testing. So what's he doing to address that?
He's an extremely rich and powerful film director and producer, so I'm curious as to what steps he's personally taking to get outsiders the funding and opportunities they need to make independent kino that isn't micro-managed by idiot studio executives?
He's done more for film than most directors in history. Look up his film restoration work & his producing credits.

>Scorsese has mentioned his mentors being such filmmakers as John Cassavetes, Roger Corman, and Michael Powell.[209] In film critic Roger Ebert's book, Scorsese by Ebert, Ebert praised Scorsese for championing and supporting other filmmakers by serving as an executive producer on projects of filmmakers such as Antoine Fuqua, Wim Wenders, Kenneth Lonergan, Stephen Frears, Allison Anders, Spike Lee, and John McNaughton.[210] More recently he has executive produced the films of the Safdie Brothers, Joanna Hogg, Kornél Mundruczó, Josephine Decker, Danielle Lessovitz, Alice Rohrwacher, Jonas Carpignano, Amélie van Elmbt, and Celina Murga.[211][212] Scorsese has also chosen to name filmmakers throughout the years that he admires such as fellow New York City-based directors Woody Allen and Spike Lee, as well as other artists such as Wes Anderson, Bong Joon-ho, Greta Gerwig, Ari Aster, Kelly Reichardt, Claire Denis, Noah Baumbach, Paul Thomas Anderson, Christopher Nolan, the Coen Brothers, and Kathryn Bigelow.[213][214][215][216][217][218]
>restores old films
>produces films made by established filmmakers that are part of the studio system
Neither of these things are helping a new generation of filmmakers make actual "cinema" as he'd put it.
Reminder Martin Scorsese strongly defended the notorious pedophile rapist Roman Polanski.
Capeshit is reddit
Based.
The Masada of capeshit and Yidisney is now.
It's looking more and more like Hollywood will push for Bluray to replace streaming
>waited since 2019 after the backlash from his Endgame quote to strike when capeshit was at its weakest
Based wop.
Nah, he just realized it made him more relevant than ever to zoomers who otherwise don't care about his films and is riding it to the bitter end.
Then he would have double down even back then instead of waiting for the train wreck year of capeshit to bring it up again.
He tried hard to backtrack, realized he couldn't, and decided to double down again.
Also, reading the article, the guy interviewing him needles him a lot to go off so the article will generate more clicks.
>I am not crazy! I AM NOT CRAZY! I know Marvel brainwashed audiences. I know it isn't cinema. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just - I just couldn't prove it. They covered their tracks, they got those idiots at Rotten Tomatoes to lie for them. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? They've done worse. Those box offices! Are you telling me that a theme park ride film just happens to break records like that? No! They orchestrated it! Marvel! They destroyed cinematic culture! And I let them! And I shouldn't have. I let them into my own industry! What was I thinking? They'll never change. They'll never change! Ever since X-Men, always the same! Couldn't keep their hands always from the popular imagination! But not our Marvel! Couldn't be precious Marvel! DUMBING THEM DOWN! And they get to be the most famous film franchise? What a sick joke! I should've stopped them when I had the chance!
I don't think he knows what "grassroots" means.
Name ONE (1) Scorsese film that isn’t an overrated piece of garbage
I am waiting
Silence
The Wiseguys
>And if I could just muster up the energy, God willing, to make a couple more, one more maybe, and that’s it, OK? That’s as far as I got. You keep going until you can'
this may be his last kino. paul schrader is on the verge of death too
I like streaming because I'm mentally ill.
Blockbusters have always existed, he's just seething Marvel actually managed to be more successful than the action films of yesteryear due to the shared universe gimmick and thus gained a greater culture foothold.
was thia homosexual complaining about spielberg and lucas in the 70s and 80s?
He's right but it's too late. Zoomers don't give a frick about movies they only watch anime and tiktok.
Based Scoresese.
marvel slop tainted cinema forever, it'll take decades before we get a new golden age of cinema.
I hope he eventually grabs a gun and gunds down a capeshit production.
he monke
Make more 3 hour movies about evil white men, that will shave cinema.
