When you actually get an interviewer that listens and cares
Well he is sitting in front of a filmmaking legend.
@@foreverpop2542 but most people does interupt
@@kirind.dragon1901 I wouldn't even dare to ask Marty a question. I would say hello and would let him talk for hours straight. Then i would tie him up, get him into the basment and he could talk to me every day for the rest of my life. What a happy life this would be!
What's the name of the interviewer? Finally someone who doesn't waste a chance in front of a great artist
@@mrblonde609 lol .
BBC, someone, please give this guy a show. He's clearly a movie nerd, and anyone interviewed by him seems so comfortable and engaging
The format is literally fine as it is. A 'show' would ruin it. The point of this is he isn't putting on a show
not everyone famous with a somewhat likeable opinion needs a show.
shem talking about interviewer not Martin
He’s done incredible documentaries on American and Italian Cinema. You should check them out. The man knows what he’s talking about.
Hannah Nguyen
Yes!
My local theater isn't playing JoJo Rabbit, The Lighthouse, or Parasite. Only the big Hollywood movies, RIP film.
Same and that got me so pissed off.
Well I went out of my way to see all of those and it was worth it. Yes it sucks that these films aren't widely distributed but if you check out your local art centers of city theaters, they should have them. Also I don't think film is dying. A24 is still here. No offense, I get kinda annoyed when people make the whole "cinema is dying" blanket statement. Is it getting harder for indie arthouse films to get shown in theaters, sure, but the fact that we're even having this whole Marvel vs Scorsese conversation indicates that it's still alive and well in a sense.
Thats marketing ... Kevin Feige even said most film studios don't promote their films the right way
@@gabrielidusogie9189 a lot of these movies will be forgotten by the public cause they didn't get enough distribution.for the big audience, those are dead.
My theater managed to play The Lighthouse and I got to see it. Disturbing, but fantastic cinematography.
MCU: You’re funny Martin!!
Martin Scorsese: Funny How ?
MCU: You.
Scorsese:Huh?
MCU: Marvel $22.5 billion. Scorse 1.9 billion.
Randomguy65
Cinema: How about another joke, Marvel ?
MCU; No I don’t think we wanna hear it
Cinema: What do you get when you cross real cinema of an audience that loves MARVEL and abandons Cinema and treats it like trash!!! I’ll tell you what you get.. GET WHAT YOU FUCKING DESERVE!!
Randomguy65 10 Irishman oscar nominations.
@@Randomguy-hf8ht And the Kardashians get more views than Stephen Hawking. The MCU is entertaining and a nice ecscape from the day to day grind, but thought provoking it is not.
@@Randomguy-hf8ht Just keep watching the same formulaic movie over and over😂😂. Btw money is not a diss at all, it only shows that there are a lot of dumb people, and to say it in artistic way (that you dumb fucks would hardly grasp) honey is not made for donkeys.
Love how Marty is not backing down from his comments about Marvel films...He has his opinion...and that's that!
You end your comment like in the end of Casino lmao
His opnion and the way he offers it, is humble, strong and true. And it shows, that most MCU fans, including me, have to agree with him. He shouts the truth.
Blister Monde im not an mcu fan, but i also enjoy superhero movies. They’re films, but i agree in scorsese, it’s like an amusement park movie, and it’s killing other filmmakers in the different genre. Disney been blackballing other directors to extend their screentimes in other cinema houses.
He's not backing down from it at all. It just sounds different when he's saying it versus reading it on the page. You can tell that he's not attacking anyone.
Its not just marvel films lmao.its just comic book films in general
"I come from a time when movies were films"...What an absolutely brilliant response.
Why? How are comic book movies not films?
If you’re a pretentious prick then yes. Of course.
@@LordMichaelRahl most of them are in no sense can be considered art.
A movie consists of many different things like direction , story telling , music , cinematography etc ...
And then look at most of the marvel movies , how many of them felt unique in any way ? How many of them looked like they took a risk ? Or ACTUALLY good movie ?
Because as long as I know most of MCU movies I have seen are repetitive with same tone and same way of story telling(except for winter soldier and infinity war but still the difference isn't huge) . I mean seriously , they make 20+ movies , a huge cinematic universe , earns billions and they don't even think to atleast be creative in their movie making ?
They are "films" only in sense they release on big screen . BUT if we consider movies as form of art (which we should ) ,then they are in no way art and hence they are not movies by that definition. They are just "theme park movies" by targeting specific audiences.
While a real cinema can be enjoyed by anyone who walks in and can enjoy the beauty of the film making .
@@darkseid856 I totally agree. Well said man. The only super-hero movies, in my opinion, that might be able to be classified as true films, are maybe The Dark Knight Trilogy & Joker.
@@darkseid856 *Definition* : Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts (artworks), expressing the author's imaginative, conceptual ideas, or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power.
So comic book movies are by *DEFINITION* art, just like almost everything else.
They also don't target a specific audience, a huge range of people from all ages like them, otherwise they wouldn't have made so much money.
Lastly, again, MCU movies are mostly completely different to one another. The fact that there is good humour of similar type in every one doesn't mean they are the same.
They have completely different themes. Spider-Man Homecoming is a coming of age story, Ant-Man is a heist film, GotG is a space-opera about family, Winter Soldier is a spy movie about the dangers of global surveillance, Infinity War is about sacrifice where the bad guy wins, Thor is about responsibility, Black Panther is about colonization and being a king, Thor:Ragnarok is about the beautification of the ugly past, Dr. Strange and Iron-Man are about forgiveness and self-growth.
I could go on.
Scorsese isn’t bashing Marvel movies at all. He’s just categorising them as they are, comic book movies. That’s what they are. Not sure why marvel fans are going nuts over his comments.
Ice man because they are probably teenagers who are the bad versions of millennials where everyone has to agree with them....
@@christdaviesfilms light entertainment. It's just a bit of harmless fun with pretty colors and nice visual effects.
@@christdaviesfilms yeah, pretty much. And I really don't think there's anything wrong with that up until the point when (a) junk food becomes your entire diet and (b) people start being annoying about junk food being treated like haute cuisine.
@@TheAndrejP 👍👍👍
It would help if he’d actually watched them, though.
I love that Scorsese elaborated on his comments and they make complete sense for me. Shame on those who slammed him for having his own opinion.
Adil Did anyone with any sense really slam him though?
Roman Marshall it was mostly MCU fans being over protective of there favourite franchise, anyone who had any kind of influence in the industry more or less said “yeah that’s his opinion no big deal, you can still enjoy the movies if you disagree with him”. Hell one of these people was the CEO of Disney
Slam
@@MrStrakmudflap
Also, Feigie just did a little slamming.
Personally, i just think the guy is full of himself, and i consider his movies to be "pretentious shit" ... without watching them ... of course ...
But i also understand that the problem for me may be context.
I do not care about Taxi Drivers, Gangsters, or Boxers or overbearing social drama ... at least not normally.
BUT
Add in a sense of quirkiness or superpowers, and i perk my ears up.
Therefor, i've lately been plugging a bit on some videos like this, that i would like to see Scorsese handle a movie based on Silvermane ...
I really want to see how he would add what he calls "Cinema" to the Marvel - based Cinematic Universes.
His comments were taken out of context for the purpose of generating clicks. Until I watched this video, I was also ,ummmm.....not pleased with him. I have no doubt that anyone watching this vid would agree that he said nothing outlandish or "back in my day we ate dirt and we liked it" type of statements.
No one should hate on Martin's honest opinion of the MCU films, even though I'm a HUGE fan of the universe.
Yes exactly. i like both Scorsesse and Marvel films but he's at the same time right about Marvel/Superhero movies. Most of the Marvel/Superhero films have no substance.
@@alexk5907 Yeah it's very agreeable
Snehil Shrey He has seen them...
Snehil Shrey He sees great powerful cinema. And he knows what it looks like. And marvel movies doesn’t look like it. So, if there’s one person who knows what great cinema looks like, it’s Martin Scorsese.
Snehil Shrey Hahah he’s one of the most admired and respected filmmakers of all time. He can say what he likes because he knows filmmaking better than most. But go on, try and take on a legends opinion. He doesn’t need to sit through 3 hours to know what has substance. He just needed to see a single trailer.
Life is too short for hating such an accomplished (and charming) legend for having a different opinion. And he's not talking nonsense, and this is coming from a Marvel fan.
Preach
True, but its interesting he says this AFTER Endgame became the highest grossing movie of all time.
@@xMckingwill that was a few months back. And he didn't choose the time period he's only promoting his movie as it's coming out now. Nobody asked his opinions on Avatar but I think he'll feel the same way about it.
@@meghnasaha4349 sure
XMckingwillX Martin’s name alone is still more valuable.
Martin Scorsese is a lot smarter than your average director.
Many directors are smart, but they cave in to the producers' demands or shy away from completing their vision. It's unfortunate, but they don't want to make a truthful movie if they fear no one will want to see their vision.
Same can't be said about Uwe Bowl.
But... he's just trolling 😂 I think..
If that was true his movies wouldn't be worse than the average directors.
@@mickeye6428 You're saying that Martin Scorsese makes worse movies than the average director?
@@antoniettabombardelli8868 The average movie director. I'm not sure about the guys that direct commercials, TV and music videos but probably them too.
I liked the Marvel movies, but Scorsese is right. They're monopolizing the market.
Evaquiel via success...
@@redmage7716 via sheer power of marketing
@@hakim6158 it is also art
Who cares when the movies keep making billion dollars and that's what most production companies cares nowadays
@@emperorpalpatine2905 no its not.
“You follow?”
Marty, i would follow you to the ends of the Earth, my good sir.
Can't help thinking it's a tip of the hat to Lonnegan
Honestly who WOULDN'T follow Marty's direction
@@michaelotis223 toddlers who are butthurt cos he made fun of their religion
Ali is the best interviewer I've ever seen. Omg. What a gentleman.
anyone knows where he's from?
yeah ALI G is the best
This interviewer understood the gravitas of this situation; actually being able to pick Martin Scorsese’s brain about films.
Kudos to him for not asking dumb, irrelevant questions.
How can anyone be mad at this adorable genius for having an absolutely correct opinion.
Milkshake them all “correct opinion”and your side of the argument that considers themselves adults? Pretentious stupid people, the worst kind of stupid people.
He's stupid and so are people who agree with him. This is the same hack that has been remaking the same gangster movie his entire career.
@@mickeye6428 weak bait
@@mickeye6428
You tried m8, you tried.
@@alejandroramirezavendano43 Get literate.
I love the way he speaks like a professor. He’s so academic, in a way. Asking the interviewer, “You follow?” Shows that Scorsese is a man with humble opinions yet a powerful background of cinematic knowledge. His observations don’t come out of spite but from a film academic longing to see a change in the art form. Beautiful.
He studied at NYU and also taught others I think Oliver Stone.
saying "you follow?" is a bit patronizing tbh
Caleb Witts it could be, for sure but I don’t see it here. He doesn’t seem to be saying it to put the interviewer down. Instead, it seems that he’s asking it very sincerely.
@@calebwitts1232 Uhhhh he said it to ensure that the listener was following because Scorsese probably knows how fast he speaks so pausing to ensure the other understands is common courtesy.
He's a brilliant man. I just signed up for some online classes on a site called Masterclass.com, and Martin Scorsese teaches a Filmmaking course on the site. I'm really excited to see his lessons. I'm just finishing off David Lynch's filmmaking course, then I'll be heading directly over to Martin's film courses from there.
You can tell Ali doesn't 100% agree with the "theme park" argument, but the fact that he holds an intelligent conversation discussing it and doesn't criticize Scorsese's opinion shows how great Ali is as an interviewer.
Two adults having a mature conversation, its something you dont see on the internet.
Comic book movies are pretty theme park-ish. I know some people take them with all seriousness but they typically have very little cinema culture. If you're brought up watching movies and going to the cinema is a weekly family tradition Marvel movies/ Fast & Furious/ new Star Wars trilogy etc. are theme parks. Already Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy is different as is the Joker Movie.
Mcu films aren't really art though so he's not wrong
I get the same feeling too that Ali doesn't agree ..
@@glovelessboxer marvel fans are easy to please what does it matter?
I mean, I liked or even loved 90% of the Marvel movies and they are an absolute blast to watch on the big screen but Scorsese still has a point; and tbh, no Marvel movie will probably ever stick with me as films like Goodfellas or Shutter Island, to name my Scorcese favorites, and I can't wait to see The Irishman.
aeoncz shutter island is garbage, but I guess because no one is wearing tights that equates to depth.
Mcu don't become like his movies
Mcu is something which never happened in history of cinema
Mcu will create their own lagecy
@@redmage7716 Shutter Island is fantastic, such a unique vision, not regurgitated clichés and soulless cgi and explosions like Marvel
@@redmage7716 shutter island is a fantastic movie, pls tell us your opinion on why you didnt like it
@@emperorpalpatine2905 legacy of shitty films
Dude made movies like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull. He has every freaking right to tell what's cinema and what's not.👍👏
I'm still mad at the fact that The Departed is his ONLY Oscar win, wtf man, he should've had like 5 Oscars already especially for Goodfellas and Taxi Driver
MCU movies are movies too. Just different.
@@RonsaRRR Garbage movies
@@dawson6196 Awesome movies.
@@RonsaRRRHit or miss movies
Martin Scorsese should never back down from his opinion. He’s one of Hollywood’s last great geniuses. He and his art towers over anything Marvel Studios puts out. He knows Cinema better than most.
Totally agree
Better than almost anyone imo
He should only do it if he genuinely experiences a change in opinion.
The movies Marty makes are true cinema, now we just have people in vxf heavy comic book movies, even Terminator 1 and 2 special effects were practical effects like just look at Stan Winston you tube channel
One of the few with very few part 2 movies.
You don't understand the man, it seems, he is not attacking the MCU, just is saying that nowadays movies are made for the money more than for the quality. And in part the new star wars trilogy is an amusement park, it was brought up as trilogy to make way for the new amusement parks like galaxy edge and the new star wars hotel, the same is with marvel's avengers, Disney in particular.
Agreed and people go out in numbers to watch em,it's kinda frustrating to see that a movie like Arrival barely makes 200 mil where TLJ makes over a billion and those godawful transformers movies cross 500 mil
@Danial Shafiqlook i am the greatest fan of sci fi and marvel i enjoy and love all those films and i watched them over and over again, for me this is the golden age of sci fi where you have fsntasy and sci fi content more thsn ever but i understand where scorsese is coming from.
@@hamzaorakzai3490 transformers ars made for dumb people the whole narative about authorobots with their all plsnet is stupid to me and totally not logical.
Yh those Star Wars amusement parks are not making money either and with tickets costing lots of money people will not spend that much
His original comment did not come off like that. Here he explained himself, and now I respect him. But his first comment was as snobbish as they come.
For anyone talking about crazy MCU fans bashing him: He doesn't care. His fans don't care. The Academy doesn't care. History will never care.
When you grow up, your heart dies
@@RainMk Yet, his movies are filled with heart.
@@RainMk he made Hugo and even tho it is one of his worst it has a lot of heart don't you think?
"These films are more like theme rides."

@@Denis-89 Lucky how? What the fuck is so lucky about him?
does he amuse you?
@@igotashake calm down dude
Martin is totally right about the whole investing your time into a film and taking your time with them
@ I get the sarcasm but for some of their movies. It really feels like they do.
I know for a fact that Black Panther was not a finished movie.
@ yes they do
@ They do. They have to. Bein' part of family-friendly Disney doesn't really allow directors of MCU movies to have their own vision, but their formula's.
I have always thought the same about MCU movies and I'm a millennial. I thought I was alone , but knowing that Martin Scorsese and Francis ford Coppola share the same opinion it brought comfort to my soul.
@ I think alot of prestigious film makers , producers and actors also share the same views but they are not bold enough to express their opinions to the media , or maybe they don't want to get into trouble with producers and their fellow talentless actors who act in these movies. I think (video games) is the right medium for such stories.
@ Such a sheep response. Don't be mad just because your simple mind enjoys watching movies that are identical to another, have the same plot, same progression, same structure. I guess anything else and you would be confused. Sheep like to know what they're getting, and are afraid of things that are different. You probably also eat McDonalds several times a week, thinking it's a 10/10 restaurant because so many people eat there?
JaguarRider what are you 12? Grow the fuck up.
@ is everyone that doesnt like whatever you like a snob?
@@adamplentl5588 Look at some comments on here? Marvel movies ain't for everybody and that's ok, look at Pierre's reply, calls me simple-minded just for liking Marvel movies and that's the thing that annoys me is that people like him insult those that like what they hate hence why they're known as snobs because they think their taste is superior. These are the kind of people that Scorcese's comments would attract.
I'm a Marvel fan. When I heard the news about Scorsese's comment I got angry, but after seeing this I agree with Scorsese. His comment wasn't too harsh after all. And he totally has a point.
Fax
i agree
totally a agree im a huge marvel an some dc comics geek . and i was a little mad at what said . but now he got to say what he really wanted to say and i agree 100 % the marvel movie really are a ride . and his movies are more about the story they move you along diff from what a marvel movie will the stories in them are fast pace in your face great stories . but have these film like his that move you along . i guess marvel stuff is like a kickass colorful drawing . and stuff like his is this amazing painting . there is room for both
@@tacobellalugosi2527 I think marvel movies are more like a tv series and each episode is a blockbuster movie
go to anger management therapy if Scorsese's comment made you angry.
I found this interview to be rather engaging. Cheers.
Very charismatic dude
He literally says that there is NOTHING wrong with liking those kinds of movies lol so why are ppl mad?
Welcome to social media, bro😂😂😂
Marvel fanboys just think that movies revolve just around superheroes. You see superhero movies take over theater screens nowadays and never gives other movies a chance to shine because they seemed to care about money. Fanboys are overreacting to this, this is Martin Scorsese, shame on you if like movies but don't know this legend! This guy made incredible impact to the Cinema
Just marvel fanboys. Lol He isn't even dissing comic book movies, there are a lot of comic book narrative films, he is just dissing mcu.
because theyre comic book nerds, they've never been laid
@@ng2603 damn who hurt you kid
He's right. And I like comic book movies. But he's right.
J M go any other whole genres are we going to dismiss out of hand, I mean animation also not cinema I guess, don’t tell japan. This is such nonsense, I Have seen all the art films Scorsese mentioned the mcu has made films that are just as substantive. Guardians 2 for an example is a deeply personal film with a rich subtext about the nature of ego and fathers and sons it also happens to be hilarious and have lots of cgi that doesn’t take away from a great script. This is like confusing seriousness and obvious on the face pretensions for actual depth. Also I’d love to hear him have to trash things like Star Wars and Jaws what about Charlie Chaplin, I mean marvel’s crowd pleaser, inoffensive nature is actually far more representative of what cinema is overall, this is a big broad medium that generally seeks wide appeal. So please shit on the big movies of every era King Kong is just like a marvel picture
@ J M i 100% agree
Notice how when Leo’s character is falling down those stairs there’s way more stairs then when he was actually on the ground there was only about 6
his perspective being high af
I've never realized how old Scorsese is, until seeing him without the eyeglass.
He looks better without the glasses.
@@Revolver1981 Yet he sees worse without them. 😉
De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Scorsese are the same age
@@BonaFideBOSS No Scorsese is 77. De Niro and Pesci are 76.
@@Revolver1981 oh yeah, his birthday is close
Now he has changed his stand on movies based on comic adaptation after seeing "morbius"
Easily the most influential director of all time imo. Goodfellas, Casino, Taxi Driver, The Departed, etc...what a resume.
Even today he is still developing his impressive portfolio with films such as The Wolf of Wall Street and the Irishman to name a couple
@@RhodokTribesman I'm surprised people don't talk about Silence and Hugo that much, both are incredible movies from Scorsese especially Hugo, a movie that families could enjoy too, I love the visuals in that movie
He didn't diss marvel in any way tho... He just said that comic book movies that are half special effects are saturating the film market and it's getting harder for more personal films to flourish... it's an honest opinion. 👏 I am a huge marvel nerd and I love Scorsese films, shutter island and the departed are my top 2. Sigh. This was blown out of proportion by the press.
Yep. Personal films should be given a chance to shine
Totally agree with him on Marvel. They're not everyone's cup of tea and the cinemas are full of them. There should be films around for everyone including those who don't enjoy marvel or franchises
JaguarRider How many marvel movies have come out in the last 3 years?
@ cause they are preparing for phase 4 they're gonna produce like 20 of them not taking into acount all the series on disney plus.and by film snobs you are basically talking about the rest of the fucking industry.
@@PublicEnemyMinusOne 11 and considering over 600 movies are released each year, 11 isn't really that much of a big number, or is it in your eyes?
JaguarRider supporting and promoting different types of filmmaking doesn’t mean cancelling superhero movies! Virtually every major movie event over the last decade+ has been a big budget franchise movie filled with load music and explosions. He’s not just talking about Marvel, Marvel are just the biggest example (and I would argue the best of them all by quite a long way). We’ve had the Star Wars trilogy plus rogue one/solo etc.. the (sadly) ongoing Transformers movies, Superman and Batman and Suicide squad, several iterations of Spider-Man plus ongoing Spider-Man related projects, Xmen and fant4stic (yuck) and even the frigging Ninja Turtles got a reboot! I’m sure I could think of more if I could be bothered. It all adds up to a large amount of quite similar material doesn’t it? Not saying they’re all exactly the same, but they definitely are telling the same type of story. Referring to Martin Scorsese as a ‘film snob’ for having a different opinion to you is highly ignorant really, considering how much he has contributed to film in his life. He didn’t even say superhero movies were bad! Just, like maybe we can make the effort to appreciate everything else also? And try not to let Disney’s hostile takeover of everything cinema reduce the art form to superhero movies and “live action” remakes of classic children’s movies
Exactly, it’s ridiculous. Martin said that the only people who fund The Irishman is Netflix. Like what the hell has the film world come to.
Genius is a understatement when it comes to Mr. Scorsese
You know Scorsese exudes an aura of how a gentleman should be, so much so that even though there are millions of Marvel fans there are very few dislikes to the video.
Scorsese is wonderfully down to earth for someone, who himself is a big name, and has also worked with some of the biggest actors
great interview. but how could you not include Taxi Driver in the interview background pic.
because the wall's size was still not enough to feature all of his masterpieces.
When I saw “amusement park films” in the title I was worried you’d ask the same question he keeps getting. But by asking him to list films that inspire him, you flipped the usual question from a negative to a positive. A lovely inversion of the current cliche. A mindful interview, which is tough to do in such little time. Well done.
i feel like people really need to watch this and other interviews instead of just reading clickbait headlines before they judge scorsese, he makes really good points
Martin Scorscese and Quintin Tarantino are the two titans of film making to me. So glad to support local and fresh new filmakers as well
to this day im perplexed that people were surprised Scorsese doesn't like marvel movies
No... I don't think he doesn't like marvel it's just not his think you know...
Because these people think everyone has to blindly love MCU movies & think anyone that doesn't deserves to be executed.
Martin is still an absolute master. He retains his filmmaking chops that he had in the 70s.
Mankeerat Singh
While being in his 70s!
They called him a liar, and stupid and crazy
Yet they cant prove him wrong
I mean
You can't proved it in front of a man who direct Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Age Of Innocence, King Of Comedy, and more.
Chill out with that. Some disagreed with him but no one called him those things.
Scorsese - a genius and a genuinely warm and likeable guy all in one.
He is a movie legend in every way,
His comments on the MCU were blown way out of proportion and this is coming from someone who loves the MCU.
Man, that 'ludes scene kills me everytime. Leo nailed it.
When he crashes through the house trying to get the phone.
“GE OFFA FFONE...THEE EF BEE I...”
Fucking kills me every single time I watch it! 😂😂
I really like how Scorsese smiles when he says, “you follow”
I feel weirdly proud of Ali for this interview 👏
One of the greatest directors of humanity and he is absolutely perfect in coining the term "amusement park movies"
I'm a marvel nerd but what he said is so true...
Look at his compostions. So clean, so pristine. No shaky cams. No unnecessary movements. Classic! A true legend.
Imagine thinking a man doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to cinema. That man also created the likes of taxi driver, raging bull, king of comedy, goodfellas, casino, gangs of New York, the departed and the wolf of Wall Street...
The issue is that it's not just those genre of films that are cinema. And that's where he's wrong.
Some of the best movies ever made Kings of Comedy for example was great, recently I watched it to get ready for Joker
No matter how much experience or what films you've made. You should never be able to say what is or isn't cinema. He's allowed to not like superhero films, that's completely fine. It's another thing to say they don't count, when hundreds of people put so much work into it and love it.
@@ethanprendergast Him saying "Marvel movies are not cinemas" is his interpretation/opinion . You follow? 😜 He also never said that people din't work hard for it. so..
@@kishenkoolskills90 yep . I watched the king of comedy and taxi driver and they were heck of an experience . Loved it .
Literally everyone supports Marty including Robert Downey Jr., Jon Favreau, Benedict Cumberbatch, Natalie Portman. The only person to make a big deal out of it was James Gunn, but obviously he has to overcompensate since he just got his job back at Disney.
good comment
Favreau has worked with Scorsese before and he says Scorsese is a true hero of him. He has every right to express his opinion on Cinema nowadays considering that it changes now
2 months ago, Gunn stated that Scorsese “wanted attention” by making a statement about the MCU to promote ‘The Irishman’. That was a bit of a stretch & an exaggeration. Ironically, Gunn also said that most superhero movies are boring to him after rewatching them.
@@theawesomebat1244 So bascially answering a simple question is "seeking attention" he must know that this whole debate started when someone in journalists in London i believe asked him about his thoughts on Marvel movies, then he answered it will full honesty, nothing wrong with that. The media just want some sort of drama between everyone
Why is THIS not the top comment?
Greatest living filmmaker. Silence moved me beyond words. Cannot wait to see The Irishman.
The best interviewer there is, clearly he's into films that's why he is so good
They hadn’t worked together since 95? Is mr Scorsese forgetting Shark Tale
Im sure he doesnt even remember he made that film ! hahahaha
@@zarenlug20 He remembers but also desperately trying to forget
Well, both Scorsese and De Niro worked as voice actors in "Shark Tale", and while the film is average to decent at best, it's pretty much what happens when DreamWorks takes "Goodfellas" and turns it into an animated family film.
elaborate
Dan Cassidy yes he is, and what Marty meant was that casino was last time he directed a movie with bob in it not acted
I totally agree with everything Martin says.
Probably an aspect that everyone already notices, but my favorite thing about the Quaalude scene in The Wolf of Wall Street is its subjective editing. I absolutely love how he falls down an immense and painful number of steps at first, only for it to be revealed after, that it was six steps. It perfectly captures the distortion of the mind on drugs with a single cut. Something about that just blew my mind when I saw it in the theater.
Martin is a living legend, he inspires me to become a movie director and hopefully I will become one some day. He has made some of the greatest movies in history, Goodfellas, TWOWS, The Departed, Taxi Driver, Casino, Shutter Island and Raging Bull. Amazing guy
Can't believe he actually has the signed red shoes in his house
I love Martin Scorsese. He's the greatest film director of all time imo. And i love Marvel and the Marvel movies. Go figure.🤷🏻♂️
It’s pretty clear what he’s saying about movies like the ones in the MCU. He’s not saying they’re bad, he’s saying they’re taking over and not leaving any room for anything different. Seems like a lot of people only make assumptions based on misquoted article titles instead of actually hearing him out.
Huge respect for this man, i love how he emphasizes and made sure we understand what he meant when he compared the genres or as what he said "types of movies"
Such a beautiful, beautiful interview. Always a pleasure to watch someone who is a master of their work talk about it so passionately. His enthusiasm is still like a teenager. God bless him.
His words keep aging like fine wine 🍷
For a man of such genius and success he seems so down to earth and easy to talk to
He isn't really dissing them, he's worried about the future of cinema and how the business doesn't care about originality or new films that aren't part of a big studio/franchise, and even if he was, he's Martin Scorsese, he can say whatever the hell he wants
Hello
That's the concerning part because the people that watch them don't realize that and keep on going.
He's so well spoken here. I resonate with him 100%
He sounds so sharp still!
I don’t agree with his comments but he is allowed his opinion and I respect him for not being scared to say what he thinks.
This whole interview is like a trailer. This man is awesome. He could be an actor in his own movies.
Vikotnick he has a character in taxi driver
He was really good in Taxi Driver
He was in Mean Streets. 😎
king of comedy too!
Two legends in one place! This is the interview we needed. Thank you for this.
Ali Plumb's interviews are always great. He's so ultra prepared each time
Great and insightful interview! Wish more interviewers would be as patient and respectful as Ali was here with Scorsese.
He has an opinion and he isn’t wrong.
Cole Edits aren’t opinions objective ?
@@faith223 Subjective. Anyone can have em.
And it doesn't make em right or wrong.
@@faith223 shut up marvel boy
Goddamn I love Martin Scorsese, such a warm-hearted guy who I swear smiles or laughs at least once in every interview I see of him. Ali Plumb you are easily my favourite press junket interviewer.
My local theater only playing comic book films (DC/Marvel), sequels and remakes. No original ideas, no indie films, not even a new adaptation.
Martin Scorsese's concerns are legitimate. If you've noticed, the movies in theaters for the last 10 years or so have been dominated big budget franchises and animated kids features. Things like Super Hero Movies, Disney and Dream works animated films as well as sequels to previous blockbusters, even decades later. Next Year Top Gun 2 and another Bill and Ted's adventure are coming out. Those original films are 30 years old or close to it. THE REASON for this is because people don't go to the movies for the same reason anymore. It used to be that Movies were for big deal actors, and television was considered the "small screen" for lesser actors, or for young actors coming up that would one day graduate to the movies (See George Clooney, Clint Eastwood, Bruce Willis, etc.). Then came the 21st century, and some of the best acting captured on camera began to happen on TV. Shows like The Sopranos, The Wire, 6 feet under, etc started gaining traction, and then streaming services hit which exponentially exploded TV. Now the best stories on film, either in theaters or on TV, weren't on TV or in movie theaters at all. They were on the web, via sites like Netflix, Hulu, Prime, HBO GO, and now Disney + etc. etc.
Craig Ferguson said it best for me, when he was talking to Cillian Murphy about the success of "Peaky Blinders". He said "The people who used to go out to see thoughtful movies at the cinema are now staying home and watching thoughtful television" I couldn't put it better myself.
Scorsese is aware of this is well. It's the reason he was involved with "Boardwalk Empire". It's the reason he made the deal with Netlfix to allow the movie to stream free after a month of limited release in theaters. He's no idiot, he understands the industry very well, and I guarantee you his opinion about Marvel films is shared by every serious director working in film.
The good news is, it truly is the golden age of cinematic entertainment. Yes, it's probably true that great character driven story films will be few and far between at your local cinema. However, there will still be a place for that type, and that level of film in the form of full length feature films exclusive to a streaming service (much like The Irishman, or Roma) , or in the form of a mini series (see Chernobyl, Making a Murderer) or as a TV show with multiple seasons (Game Of Thrones, Mad Men, The Crown, Mindhunter, Breaking Bad, House of Cards, True Detective, Pretty Little Liars, etc)
The old world of cinema is changing rapidly, one could even argue collapsing completely. However, great stories, great cinematography, great writing, great acting and great directing are more prevalent and abundant now than ever.
I completely agree with what Martin Scorsese says, but also believe we are in a transition period. It's my firm belief that the time and art of making a movie, a picture, a singular 1.5-3 hour film is not over, but truly just beginning. The best is almost certainly yet to come.
And when the next great director does come around, the will look at Scorsese as a benchmark for greatness, and for what can truly be captured behind the camera. Scorsese will go down in history as one of, if not the greatest, director of all time.
Don't forget great independent companies that make great original films like a24, bold film, etc.
There’s nothing wrong with that , superhero movies have had to fight fit their spit fit decades and mean a lot to a lot of people , it’s sounds like jealousy to me , y’all act like superhero movies have ran cinema for a centrist it’s been crazy onky for the last decade , why can’t superheros mivies not have their turn why is it a problem if they r big but if it’s other films it’s ok like what’s up with that pretentious logic
@Critique Everything 😂😂
I want to give props to the interviewer. You can tell Scorsese likes him. Honest, thoughtful, intrigued.
How IGN can consistently talk shit about this man is just baffling.
He loves what he does and he does it damn well.
Nobody will remember IGN 100 years from now, but they'll remember Scorcese. That tells you something.
iconic. when i think of the the word movie director, he is what i see...
This is why I hate news outlets. He is not dissing MCU or any heroe movies. His concern is valid. People made it look like he was taking a war to these movies.
Could have listened to this for a couple of hours. Thank you!
I love that he keeps talking about the amusement park marvel movies with zero hesitation, real dude
Damn can't believe how real that fake interviewer is
@@turtato2155 Martin Scorsese..
Honestly, I was surprised this is even a debate. I've always referred to Marvel Movies/ Fast&Furious/ GI Joe etc. (and have heard them referred to) as movies where you shut off your brain. In other words cheap thrills which are fun but lack depth or as MS puts it amusement park movies
I have to say this. This interviewer has been consistently giving us great interviews. The guests seem super confortable and open with him and he genuinely seems to be invested in getting the most out of his guests. His questions are well thought out and he prefaces them with an interesting context that let the guests know that he knows his stuff. Oh and most importantly he is a good listener, something most interviewers and talk show hosts lack these days..
The interviewer is refreshing and his genuine interest and respect comes through in his great questions and vibe with the filmmakers. Had to go sub to his podcast.
He never said anything wrong, he never even insulted the MCU. You chose to interpret the term "amusement park films" as a negative way to describe super hero movies when he literally stated that they can be appreciated for what they are. And you chose to put words in his his mouth and treat him as the "MCU hating old man".
To this day, people still fight over this topic yet everyone seems to have misunderstood what Scorsese was trying to say.
This Scorcese guy looks pretty talented. He should make more movies.
I think someday he'll be winning an Oscar
In a world of capitalism the simple outweigh the bold.
Grimah Well put sir.
True word
yeah, but it's the only world that works....
@LivingOnLifeDyingfromLife187 yes
Grimah capitalism was built by the bold, don’t be simple
This was fantastic, this guy ALWAYS makes great interviews
This was such a wonderful interview. A treat to watch.
Thank you for asking him interesting questions and not just asking him about marvel movies for click bait when we all know that it’s not just marvel movies and that he doesn’t hate them. Very good interview, can always trust that you do good ones.
I love this guy, he is really just having a conversation
Wtfffff that scene was improvised in Wolf of wall street ??
Never knew that till today and it was one of the most memorable scenes for me all time..
Damn
What I have always loved about Mr Scorsese is his seemingly unending enthusiasm. No matter how much of a master he is, he still very obviously obsessively loves film. That love comes out in his work
