According to Martin Scorsese, ‘younger people’ just don’t understand

>“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.

Multiplexes are killing small cinemas in Europe

Marvel/Disney should just buy Hollywood and quip it up to 11

>>Since the election of Donald Trump, some have expressed hope for a return to the kind of ’70s filmmaking Scorsese is synonymous with.

I agree with Scorsese and hate the blockbuster films

And I loath Trump

But that line made no sense whatsoever there is no connection

>old man says todays generation doesn't understand

And history repeats itself

Blame the jews, Martin.

Maybe they mean "movies that trigger attempted assassinations of the president"

But Trump is to blame for everything!

It has nothing to do with safe, flashy CGI-movies making the big bucks over in China

>"My success was based on a pure love and understanding of the art. I would have been successful regardless of the fact I coasted on Deniro's coattails until people thought of me as a genius"

Most overrated director of all time.

>Muh italians!
>Muh gangsters!
>Muh interchangeable exposition voiceovers done by an italian playing a gangster!

Were kids into kino in the old days? It seems to me it's something you develop over time. The older I get, the less I care for Marvel/Fast and furious or whatever's hip.

>t. director who hasn't made a single good movie since Bringing Out the Dead

so movies centered around extremely hot lolis?

I agree: it has no connection and we must KILL DRUMPHF!

>It has nothing to do with safe, flashy CGI-movies making the big bucks over in China

Trump is the personification of heartless money-grabbing production line media

He Is complaining about capeshit and he is right.

>he doesn't like comfy mob movies

i bet your a faggot or a women of some kind

>bringing out the dead

literally one of his worst modern flicks. He just released his modern masterpiece but you faggots are too thick for it

this is something not only old men are worried about
in a few years disney will buy america and everything will be run by PC disney

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.

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.

>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.

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.

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.

>>Calling Winter Light "shtick" should get you banned.
remember where you are, user.

I knew it, movies suck because of Drumpf.
Fuck white people.

>someone did it "better" 70 years ago so no one better not try again

Silence is a masterpiece

Digits confirm. Haters have shit taste.

a masterpiece of shit with no original ideas

>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.

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.

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.

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.

>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.

>Yostuba B

>art house

Tell filmakers to create another Lawrence of Arabia or another Barry Lyndon then.

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.

Hey I see my Roos Bolton /got/ thread, above 4 on the right

Fucking pleb

Inshallah

Where can I find more mudslime tv memes?

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.

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.

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).

You shut your whore mouth, albanian dog.

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.

>Since the election of Donald Trump, some have expressed hope for a return to the kind of ’70s filmmaking Scorsese is synonymous with.

Allahu Akbar!

Name one (1) original idea from the past 50 years.
You literally can't.

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.

>its a movie set in swedeland made by a swedeshit 65 years ago is superior episode
>these movies share a theme and some ideas so that means they're 1:1 what a fucking hack Scorsese

Bergman is overrated, don't take everything your Cinemacuck 101 professor says at face value

>HBO
>Netflix
>quality programming

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

Basically means making a film with a purpose, a purpose being something in your life that you feel is important and worthy making a film of.

He hasn't made a good movie for DECADES

Wolf of Wall Street was bretty gud. Not great, especially by his standards, but pretty good.

If thinking Silence was a huge piece of shit is 'not understanding' then I will gladly put myself in that bucket.

Fuck off.

Lawrence of Arabia sucks!!

wrong board

>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."

what does trump have to do with any of this

>The Departed
>The Wolf of Wall Street
>Silence
He's the only Hollywood director from the 60s-70s who's still making great films.

American journos are retarded, that's what. The butthurt on both sides is enough to create a black hole

Be more subtle in your b8 next time cocksucker.

He's just butthurt people think Silence sucked which is kinda sorta true desu.

Some of it did indeed suck, I mean come on, Marty supposedly wanted to make this movie for 30 years and he casts Adam Driver of all people.

You're the cocksucker if you think all of his recent work is shit.

Never said that, but those are easily his weakest films in the past 20 years.

>get Rob Roy
>get Julius Caesar
>Get Genghis Khan
>match them with the raging autist from TFA and Hairproduct Spiderman

What the fuck

>implying those films are weaker than Shutter Island and Hugo
Wew lad

You helped to kill it desu.

Fuck off, both are better than Hefarted and Japmission. Aviator is weakest tho.

He's based as fuck, and he's sort of right about the "no masterpiece made since the 1970s"

...

his weakest is bringing out the dead by far

Prospero's Books

>Silence
>good

Spotted the faggot pleb. That movie is awful.

I WILL FIGHT YOU MOTHER FUCKER

You probably cant even explain yourself

Nah, Shutter Island is fairly meh. It isn't bad movie but it also isn't anything particularly special or memorable.

Haven't watched it since it was out in cinema so I won't argue about it. He's been out of form for a while now, that's for sure

the only person i know who unironically enjoys that shit flick is an EMT who gets off on the job

Funny how every silence shill resorts to "b-but you can't say WHY it sucked" or "y-you just didn't get it" to defend that shitty flop movie

Funny how no one can say why they didn't like it aside form "i-i-it sucked!" or "it w-was bad, it just was!" or "le atheist fedora meme xD"

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.

Funny how everyone who hates Silence just says "IT SUCKED" or "IT WAS TOO SLOW".

>He doesn't realize the timeline BT - Before Trump and AT - After Trump

Irrelevant hack.

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.

>Raging Bull
>The King of Comedy
>After Hours
