brestugo 10/04/19 2:40:57 PM #1:	https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/oct/04/martin-scorsese-says-marvel-movies-are-not-cinema Martin Scorsese, one of cinemas most venerated current directors, has decried superhero movies the dominant force in todays industry. The director of films such as Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas told Empire magazine that his attempts to get up to speed with contemporary superhero films had failed. I tried, you know? the director said when asked if he had seen Marvels movies. But thats not cinema. He continued: Honestly, the closest I can think of them, as well made as they are, with actors doing the best they can under the circumstances, is theme parks. It isnt the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being. Earlier this year, Avengers: Endgame became the highest grossing film in history after topping $2.8bn at the global box office (fifth highest after adjusting for inflation). Eight other titles from the same studio feature in the Top 30 (when factored without inflation). Marvel head Kevin Feige last year defended his films against the kind of criticism levelled by Scorsese, saying that the seriess lack of major awards was no indication of a lack of quality or ambition. Maybe its easy to dismiss VFX or flying people or spaceships or billion dollar grosses, Feige said. I think it is easy to say that you have already been awarded in a certain way. [Alfred] Hitchcock never won best director, so its very nice, but it doesnt mean everything. I would much rather be in a room full of engaged fans. --- It's not about the size of the dog in the fight, it's about the size of the fight in the dog. <cite>brestugo posted [p:928333535] in Scorsese: ...
