Gaspar Noé asks if ‘America is turning so stupid’ Marvel must ‘represent their minds’

Director Gaspar Noé criticizes marvel


Director Gaspar Noé has harshly criticised Marvel films, questioning whether they are "stupidifying" audiences.

In a new interview with The Independent, the celebrated French-Argentine filmmaker, best known for his 2002 film Irreversible starring Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel, discussed current filmmaking.

"It's like the question, did Hitler create Nazi Germany or did Nazi Germany create Hitler? Noé stated."

Do you believe that the Marvel movies are making Americans stupid, or that America as a whole is becoming so stupid that such stupid movies are needed to represent their minds?"

Noé is a controversial filmmaker who received backlash for presenting a rape scene in his film Irreversible that lasted over ten minutes.


Noé also discussed the recent success of his 2015 film Love, which drew massive numbers on Netflix when it was reintroduced to the streaming service in 2020.

"The audience is made up of humans who need to masturbate," Noé said of the film's success during lockdown. Many moments of unsimulated sex may be found in the film Love.

Noé isn't the only filmmaker to criticise superhero films; Francis Ford Coppola, the director of The Godfather, called them "despicable."

Martin Scorsese previously stated that he "tried" to watch MCU films but later realised that they are "not cinema." Instead, he compared them to "theme parks."

Scorsese explained, "It isn't the film of human beings trying to impart emotional, psychological sensations to another human being."

Critics have praised Noé's recently released picture Vortex, which is about an old couple in Paris nearing the end of their life.

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand...

GoT's Lena Headey Sued Over Cut Thor: Love and Thunder Role

Image
Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with ...

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La...
