To make sure movies matter, he says, you’ve got to “hit ’em from all sides, and don’t give up.”
is reflecting on what he doesn’t really care about anymore. Like the Oscars: “I don’t know if I think like them.” Or travel: “I don’t really want to go anywhere.” Even bold experiments in filmmaking: “I tried these things over the years. That time is gone now.”
But because he is Martin Scorsese, a devoted defender of film history and art, he cannot stop caring entirely — and he’s as concerned with the content, franchise-driven state of Hollywood as he’s ever been. In his view, the version of Hollywood he started with in the 1970s is as foreign today as the silent era felt to him at the time.
This is a familiar refrain for anyone who's read Scorsese interviews in recent years, or even noticed when his name trends on Twitterthat Marvel movies are “not cinema,” closer to consumer goods than art. But the reason he keeps coming back to this idea, it seems, is because he wants to lead the charge toward something better. We have to “fight back stronger” against movies as content, he says. “And it’s got to come from the grassroots level. It’s gotta come from the filmmakers themselves.
This is the thing that people so often miss when headlines proclaim Scorsese’s war against Marvel: he‘s not just an old man complaining about how the movies have changed, but a true believer in the movies who wants to remind everyone to fight for something better. And as much as he says he’s at a point in his life where he’s not fighting to put things on film, he’s got advice for up and coming filmmakers that could light a fire under anyone.
