Martin Scorsese Urges Support for Directors Like Christopher Nolan to Save Cinema

Martin Scorsese criticizes the impact of Hollywood blockbusters on the film industry, stating that the industry he was part of is over. He argues that major studios now prioritize franchise potential and have little interest in supporting individual voices or personal ideas on a big budget. Scorsese believes that effects-driven superhero movies no longer represent cinema, comparing them to "manufactured content" created by artificial intelligence. He recalls his struggles with film producers over creative control and expresses dissatisfaction with the results. Scorsese's latest film, Killers of the Flower Moon, is set for release on October 20.
