“A Marvel picture is one prototype movie that is made over and over and over and over and over again to look different,” the “Godfather” director bluntly declared.
“There used to be studio films. Now there are Marvel pictures. And what is a Marvel picture? A Marvel picture is one prototype movie that is made over and over and over and over and over again to look different,” he bluntly declared about the recent influx of commercial films in an interview“I always tell my kids, like [Oscar-winning ‘Lost in Translation’ director] Sofia – ‘Let your films be personal. Always make it as personal as you can because you are a miracle, that you’re even alive.
“Whereas, if you’re part of a school or ‘Yeah, I’m going to make a Marvel picture, and that’s the formula and I get it and I’ll do my best,’ sure it will still have your individuality, but as art, do that and do something else. But if you’re going to make art, let it be personal. Let it be very personal to you.”
But the “Godfather” trilogy director also suggested that movies he thinks are pretty good also are sort of similar to each other. “Even the talented people — you could take ‘Dune,’ made by Denis Villeneuve, an extremely talented, gifted artist, and you could take ‘No Time to Die,’ directed by … Cary Fukunaga — extremely gifted, talented, beautiful artists, and you could take both those movies, and you and I could go and pull the same sequence out of both of them and put them together. The same sequence where the cars all crash into each other.
“They all have that stuff in it, and they almost have to have it, if they’re going to justify their budget,” the Hofstra graduate said. “And that’s the good films, and the talented filmmakers.”
