Scorsese's comments about the future of cinema are worth reexamining.
marvOne of the biggest cultural conversations of the past few years has been the debate about blockbuster movies, as superhero franchises and other genre fare like Star Wars have raked in massive amounts of money at the box office, but have been criticized for formulaic storytelling. Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese has become an accidental focus of this conversation, after he argued in a 2019 interview that Marvel movies, in particular, are more akin to a theme park ride than"cinema.
"I do think that the manufactured content isn't really cinema," Scorsese added."No, I don't want to say it. But what I mean is that, it's manufactured content. 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.
Assembly LineLet's get one thing out of the way — Scorsese is not trying to stop you from enjoying, or feeling emotion because of, the latest superhero blockbuster. He has admitted he doesn't watch most of them anyway, which probably isn't going to change no matter how many times you try to counter his argument with clips of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 or Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
And depending on who you ask, these franchises have maybe gotten a little too big — focusing on meeting release dates instead of maintaining creative control, delivering consistent quality, and creating an emotionally-satisfying story. Following Avengers: Endgame, the MCU has ballooned in its overall runtime, but it has left most of its narrative threads unceremoniously tangled.
