>“Cinema is gone,” Scorsese says. “The cinema I grew up with and that I’m making, it’s gone.”
>“The theatre will always be there for that communal experience, there’s no doubt. But what kind of experience is it going to be?” he continues. “Is it always going to be a theme-park movie? I sound like an old man, which I am. The big screen for us in the ’50s, you go from Westerns to Lawrence of Arabia to the special experience of 2001 in 1968. The experience of seeing Vertigo and The Searchers in VistaVision.”
>Scorsese points to the proliferation of images and the over-reliance on superficial techniques as trends that have diminished the power of cinema to younger audiences. “It should matter to your life,” he says. “Unfortunately the latest generations don’t know that it mattered so much.”
>Since the election of Donald Trump, some have expressed hope for a return to the kind of ’70s filmmaking Scorsese is synonymous with.
>“If the younger people have something to say and they find a way to say it through visual means as well as literary, there’s the new cinema,” says Scorsese. But the current climate reminds him more of the ’50s of his youth. “I’m worried about double-think or triple-think, which is make-you-believe you have the freedom, but they can make it very difficult to get the picture shown, to get it made, ruin reputations. It’s happened before.”
You just have to watch European art house. Hollywood is over.

I agree with Scorsese and hate the blockbuster films
And I loath Trump
But that line made no sense whatsoever there is no connection

Oliver Mitchell
everything is le drumpfz fault, including Scorsese and the rest doing the same old sell-out shit with their circle jerk clique of buddies.
its not the hack directors fault!!
look at the child molester Spielberg, he went from E.T., to Jurassic park, to Indiana Jones 4 and war of the worlds.
that was trumps fault too.
Dominic Gutierrez
Silence was shit as a movie about religion, politics, as a Scorsese movie, and a film overall. It lacked any sort of new insight or edge to it. Bergman did the whole "God, why do you not speak to me?" shtick better years ago.
Millenial "film buff" critics and consumers praise it because it's not your run of the mill movie nowadays, but the subject's already been explored and better. And Scorsese has made far better movies, none of which were made in the 21st century.
Christopher Morgan
>Bergman did the whole "God, why do you not speak to me?" shtick better years ago. >shtick
Calling Winter Light "shtick" should get you banned.
Cooper Cook
I just don't watch movies to broaden my horizons or think about things in a new way or to feel feelings. I watch them to laugh, or maybe admire and marvel at a competent guy doing a good job.
Colton Hill
This is not a problem with the movie goer, but more with the movie industry. BUT, you vote with your wallet and people vote in droves.
Some of my favorite films fucking tanked at the box office; yet it comes up all the time in modern releases.

Alexander Parker
>it's another cherry pick classics from the past and blast everything being released today episode
Granted, the advent of "cinematic" universes and blockbusters marginalizing mid-level art house films is concerning, but acting like nothing of value is released now compared to the past is just so ignorant.
Charles Wood
Really makes you think, though. This isn't simply a dime-a-dozen case of "old guy bitching about young people." Notice Scorsese, for as long as he's been around, hadn't felt the need to sat anything like this until now, which is a clear indicator that there really is something wrong and irreparably stunted about latter-day Millennials. I'v been finding more redeeming qualities in fucking Gen Z kids than most Millennials, probably because they're all looking at Millmills like "wow i really don't want to be like THAT!!"
Really makes you ponder. It's also pretty ironic that Millennials are like this overtly socioconservative group in their need to want to police and nitpick every fucking thing in existence, yet they mostly consider themselves """"Liberal."""" The word has no meaning whatsoever anymore, when it comes to Millennials. Just because you fucking losers are constantly fucking each other in the ass (because you're so godless and soulless you've even forgot how to fuck correctly, and are obsessed with fucking the butthole,) doesn't make you "liberal." You're like some mutant offshoot of 50's mentality, that the rest of us have to fucking hear about every day thanks to the internet.
Joshua Carter
from those greentext i can only surmise that he thinks the films shown in theaters are becoming more and more cash grabs instead of art which is only normal seeing movies are an industry now more than ever. There are still a lot of independent shit coming out and sometimes big time directors will do passion projects.
Jacob Lopez
I think he thinks the only way you'll know about a movie is if you see it on the marquee walking down a boulevard.
Christopher Smith
>muh originality
theres no such thing as an original idea you shitlord, everything is recycled, every story has already been told, grow the fuck up. there are no new stories to tell just new ways to tell them. Like Silence.
Carter Howard

Julian Young
Tell filmakers to create another Lawrence of Arabia or another Barry Lyndon then.
Mason Cook
I don't disagree, but you can't argue with the tide. I think were going to see a big shift in cinema within our lives when the big studios implode and the advent of a less centralized production and distribution model thanks to the internet. Look at the big tent pole movies from the studios for that. They spend so much money on these objectively shitty movies that if they don't break a billion its considered a flop. That isn't something that can last indefinitely. Nothing that can't last forever, does. Just vote with your wallet is all the individual consumer can do.

What is it he's trying to say exactly? What's he expecting from filmmakers? Because the idea that there's NO good films whatsoever being made today is ridiculous.
Ryder Walker
They basically mean that like in the 70s there was a lot of anti-war films, there should be a lot of anti-Trump films now. Propaganda, basically.
Julian Evans
He is right, but it's also in part due to us living in a different world.
People have less patience, fuck I often find myself surfing the web while I watch stuff at home these days, and when people go to the movies it seems they just want to be entertained in a way that doesn't tax their brains in the least, probably because they are texting.
So the only really profitable movies today are the blockbusters, and since the budgets are ever growing, the risk taking is continously becoming smaller, leading to tried-and-tested formulas, which today typically means 'capeshit action with quips', or Disney remaking every animated classic in a live/cgi setting.
Movies telling an interesting story is probably over, series on cable tv/Netflix is where you go for that kind of experience (and I think it's probably a better medium for it, even though you don't get the BIG SCREEN).
Scorsese did two actual films, some okay flicks and then three decades of shit music videos.
Kaurismäki was right and the one with the fedora should just retire.

Hollywood is over, quality programming has moved over to television and online with HBO and Netflix, which is a better medium for it. Stories no longer have to be confined to a 2-3 hour movie, but can be expanded into 8-10 hours over the course of a season. Shows like the Young Pope are proving that television is where it's at.
Michael Fisher

good one faggot. FX is the only network bringing the noise. HBO has fallen apart and Netflix was never good always garbage low brow pandering tier shit

>He insists no director has made a masterpiece since the 1970s. What about Scorsese? He snorts, and glugs. "Goodfellas is bullshit. It is the lousiest film ever, ever made. After Raging Bull, he was a lousy amateur." Terrence Malick? "The first one [Badlands] was OK. That was in the 1970s. After that they were Christian bullshit."

Gavin Clark
He's a drunk idiot who has never made a decent film. If his films were even half as provocative as his retarded comments in the media, he might actually have been relevant at some point.
He's the guy who says we should kill the 1% while he himself is a millionaire with a fucking vineyard in Portugal.

Even when joking he's more of an artist than Scorsese.
Pretty much all of his films are better than anything from Scorsese aside from Taxi Driver and Raging Bull. Malick has never made better film than Kaurismäki.
