Nothing fucking fashion, these directors will never make films of superheroes

Cinema 13 January, 2017

In recent years, there have been plenty of adaptations from comics to cinema. But given their declarations, these guys will not go for anything in the world.

We all have a friend refractory to the new fashion, whether it is an app, a garment, a gadget … The guy who is not on Facebook, the one who does not use Snapchat, the other who does not understand that ” We wear a bonnet even inside, and each has his reasons, his arguments. Which are admissible. Well it’s the same for these renowned filmmakers, who clearly explain why in their statements they do not like the superhero film .
Ridley Scott
“This is not my kind of thing. I can not believe the thin, dangerous tight rope on which the superheroes walk from the unreality of their situation.”
David Cronenberg
“I do not think they constitute a high form of art.”
“A superhero movie, by definition, you know, it’s for kids.” Dark Knight Rises remains a movie where Batman runs with his cape.
“Memento is Nolan’s best film, and it’s an interesting film. I think his films on Batman are half as interesting, despite the fact that they cost 20M more times.” (Alert exaggeration. Origin Marseille hidden?)
John McTiernan
“These are films made by fascists. Comic book heroes are business.”
“The cult of American masculinity is one of the worst things that has happened in the last fifty years, hundreds of thousands of people have died because of this stupid illusion, so how is it possible to watch a movie called Captain America? ”
Alejandro Inarritu
“The audience is overexposed to conspiracies and other shitty situations that do not mean anything of the experience of being human.” In super hero, nothing but the word hero disturbs me. It is a false, misleading conception, and the way they use violence there is completely from the extreme right. ”
William Friedkin
About Star Wars: “The taste of good food has simply disappeared. Everything has gone back to a huge hole that sucks everything up.”
“Modern cinema revolves around Batman, Superman, Iron Man, Avengers … all sorts of things that I have absolutely no desire to watch.”
Terry Gilliam
About “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider”: “It’s crap.”
After seeing “Antman”, he gives his impression on superhero films: “Technically, it’s brilliant, but it’s also predictable, we know where it’s going, structure, shape, everything is there …” This is my problem: I can not find the surprise I had before I want to go and be more surprised. ”
Slightly blasé, to force: “Now, we have to type all the characters of Marvel dancing hand in hand, Superman must make love to Batman or another … The bible is more interesting, its stories are more surprising and more human in fact.”
Mel Gibson
“If you spend huge amounts, like $ 180M or more, how do you get back on your expenses after taxes and give half the rooms?” “I think you can do the same thing with less money.
“How much did they admit to having spent on Batman Vs Superman? And that’s crap.” Y’as the punchline mine of nothing?
