Film director Martin Scorsese took aim at comic book movie culture, saying it could be negative to audiences who aren't well-versed in other types of film.
"The danger there is what it's doing to our culture," he said of those films' omnipresent nature in an interview with GQ. "Because there are going to be generations now that think movies are only those — that's what movies are.""They already think that," he said. "Which means that we have to then fight back stronger. And it's got to come from the grassroots level. It's gotta come from the filmmakers themselves.
"I do think that the manufactured content isn't really cinema," he said, adding, "It's almost like AI making a film. And that doesn't mean that you don't have incredible directors and special effects people doing beautiful artwork. The Western true-crime thriller, based on David Grann's 2017 nonfiction book, delves into the Osage Indian tribe murders in 1920s Oklahoma after an oil discovery on their land.
