Martin Scorsese doesn’t understand computers
During his latest interview withAP News, directorMartin Scorseseexplained how he gets intimidated by modern technology,
“I don’t use a computer because I tried a couple times and I got very distracted. I get distracted as it is. I’ve got films, I’ve got books, I’ve got people. I’ve only begun this year to read emails. Emails, they scare me. It says ‘CC’ and there are a thousand names. Who are these people?”
However, the director doesn’t hesitate to use modern technology in his movies. For his 2019 movie,The Irishman, Scorsese spent millions of dollars in order to digitally de-age actor Robert De Niro in the film.

Martin Scorsese claims that he is keeping the art of cinema alive
Later in the interview, Scorsese explained that he has always made efforts with his movies to keep the art of cinema alive,
“I’m trying to keep alive the sense that cinema is an artform. The next generation may not see it that way because as children and younger people, they’re exposed to films that are wonderful entertainment, beautifully made, but are purely diversionary. I think cinema can enrich your life. As I’m leaving, I’m trying to say: Remember, this can really be something beautiful in your life.”
Scorsese isn’t a huge fan of modern cinema, especially big-budget Marvel movies. In 2019, the director said these movies are not real cinema and compared them to theme parks.
