Mainstream art versus "High" art.

AKA a bullshit argument that's not even worth going into.

Having said that let's not forget that Marty also did The Departed (which IMO was just the weaker elements of Infernal Affairs + Mark Wahlberg saying fuck 100 times) and Hugo, and now he's trying to say that his shit is 100% cinema or high art, while the MCU movies--most of which he hasn't even seen--are not.

It's not much different than Jodi Foster's statement against superhero movies, or a lot of other celebrity's. They want to discredit the MCU because they see it as a billion dollar behemoth eating up all the small intellectual "arthouse" movies at the box office.

I like "cinema" and I like what he calls "theme parks". Tons of people all over the world are enjoying MCU movies, even though obviously that train will stop eventually. I'm still going to see The Irishman and whatever Marty does after that, but also fuck his uppity opinions.
