Donโt expect legendary director Martin Scorsese to have any part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe anytime soon.
In an interview with Empire Magazine, Scorsese whoโs responsible for the likes of Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas got all pretentious when it came to the MCU saying those movies are โnot cinemaโ.
โI tried, you know?โ the director said when asked if he had seen Marvelโs movies. โBut thatโs not cinema.โ
He continued: โHonestly, 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 isnโt the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being.โ
In response to Scorsese, Avengers director Joss Whedon responded โI rever Marty, & I do see his point, butโฆ
Anyways, itโs not clear how many bottles of Don Scorsese had shoved up his ass when he made those comments, however it seems clear that the Directorโs taste for movies doesnโt transcend flicks who are good for taking naps too.
Okayโฆ thatโs going a bit far but what kind of close-minded asshole do you have to be to make the comment he made without actually taking time to watch the movies youโre taking shots at?
