Martin Scorsese vs. comic books

[VitaMan]

This director is now deploring the state of "cinema". He raves that comic book movies like Marvel are not real cinema. He kind of has a point, or at least you can catch his drift.

But to this day, he is still stuck with the Mafia and Italians. His latest movie again has the same actors he used eons ago. Same kind of lighting and drama. He doesn't progress either.

Because of this, he gets an "F" grade on criticism of other movies.

Now a days it's also the Irish mob he's working on.

there seems to be some dispute as to whether the irish mobster actually did the murder of jimmy hoffa. the irish mobster apparently lies about everything, and the movie was based on his account alone.

VM, i think he digs the gangster flick. at least his characters are real, versus most of the comic book characters, which i would describe as flat.

"The Irishman" is basically DeNiro going around in an ungreen Hulk rampage but with a gun.
