Video Essay Explains Why Martin Scorsese is Right About Marvel Movies
As you know, director Martin Scorsese keeps getting asked about how he feels about Marvel movies, so he keeps talking about it and explaining his position on why he feels they are not cinema. I imagine this isn’t a conversation that is going to die off anytime soon.
While some people see his comments as an attack on Marvel films and are offended by his words, there are those that see it another way. In a recent video essay created and shared by Thomas Flight, he explains why Martin Scorsese is right about Marvel movies. It’s certainly an interesting point of view that might change your outlook on the message Scorsese is trying to get across.
It’s explained that the way Scorsese has chosen to label two different kinds of films is by calling the types of films he loves cinema, and saying that franchise films, like Marvel, aren’t cinema. It all comes down to a personal preference.
Anyway, I’ll let you watch the video and let it explain everything to you. Let us know what you think when you’re done watching.
