Labeling films as "true cinema" or not sets unnecessary limitations. A work of art is a work of art periodtttt-- some are just more basic than others and that's fine. Just because Marvel movies don't go into social commentary and challenge norms (which I would argue against anyway) and whatever other criticism he has doesn't mean it's bad or unworthy of being labeled cinema. Marvel movies serve a completely different purpose, and caters to completely different people/ sides of people, than Scorsese films. One of those purposes is bringing a contrast and balance to the world of cinema. Not every film can be a heavy, thought provoking, emotionally exhausting piece/ a film making feat. Some have to be fluffy so that people can prepare their brains/hearts/voids for the next thing. Also, wouldn't fluffy stuff and Marvel movies just strengthen that of his own? I think that the hyperbole of Marvel movies, the "roller coaster experience" as it were, creates a nice contrast to Scorsese films; the existence of Captain America for example makes things like The Wolf Of Wall Street that much more compelling. But anyway... truth or dare? Truth: What's your favourite film soundtrack (if it's not Disney's Tarzan feat. Phil Collins then you're wrong, sorry) Dare: say Scorsese 5x fast NEWS [00:16:54] Will Smith Developing Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Spinoff Series - Tatiana Siegel / THR Will Ferrell, Ryan Reynolds' 'A Christmas Carol' Musical Lands at Apple - Borys Kit / THR ‘Band of Brothers’ and ‘The Pacific’ Follow-Up ‘Masters of the Air’ Coming to Apple TV+ - Adam Chitwood / Collider ‘Ballerina’ Will Determine If Lionsgate’s ‘John Wick’ Franchise Has Any Value Without Keanu Reeves The Academy Is Finally Replacing DVD Screeners With Streaming Service - Metaflix BOX OFFICE [00:46:33] Box Office: 'Joker' Eyes Huge $60M 2nd Weekend; 'Addams Family' Beating 'Gemini Man' - Pamela McClintock / THR NEW TRAILERS [01:00:09] Dolittle Klaus Jungle Cruise Onward Truth Be Told - Apple TV+ OUT THIS WEEK [01:10:09] The Lighthouse Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Zombieland: Double Tap Jojo Rabbit WHAT WE'RE WATCHING [01:11:50] Anthony : The Righteous Gemstones, Succession, El Camino Daniel : Peaky Blinders, Dirty Money, El Camino, Psycho, LOTR Appendices Shahbaz : Joker FOLLOW US: Follow Daniel on Twitter , Instagram , and Letterboxd Follow Shahbaz on Twitter , Instagram , and Letterboxd Follow Anthony on Twitter , Instagram , and Letterboxd Follow The Movie Podcast on Twitter , Instagram , Discord , and YouTube Learn more about your ad choices.
