> [Marvel movies are] theme parks. It isn't the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being. --Martin Scorsese I find so much wrong with that view. Scorsese thinks they should be "something other than cinema." Cinema is just movies. There are all kinds of flavors. I like to just tune out and enjoy the ride on some movies, and some talk to the depths of the human condition. I find lots of things relatable in the Marvel movies. Loss of loved ones, awkward social interactions, elbow jabbing at friends. When I'm searching for something to watch, I tend to go with Rotten Tomato scores as a valuable data point. One very valuable data point is high critics score and low audience score. Critics want everything to be psychological experiences, but I think a lot of them fail to realize that some movies will ring closer to home for some vs others. An example is Joker. Not your typical comic book movie at all. With a very limited data set, I've seen people who have experienced the kind of life that Arthur experiences in that movie and it hits too close to home. Meanwhile, others who can't conceive of that as a reality dismiss the movie. Different films speak to different people.
