Abstract

After Martin Scorsese stated the claim in an interview of Empire that as a filmmaker, he does not consider Marvel movies as “cinemas”, a series of commercial vs. art film events happened. For instance, perspectives like James Cameron (the director of Terminator, Titanic, and True Lies) believes that Marvel is not epic, while Francis Ford Coppola (the director of The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, and The Conversation) believes that Marvel is “shameful.”, The director of Braveheart, Hacksaw Ridge, The Passion of The Christ) simply called Batman v. Superman: the dawn of justice “a piece of s * * t”, supported Martin Scorsese’s statement, and attacked commercial movies or Marvel and other superhero movies. Therefore, this paper will try to convey the idea of whether watching movies is subjective or objective and discuss the rivalry and balance between commercial and art films. Although filmmakers can come to an agreement of letting commercial and art filmmakers walk together hand in hand, by viewing cinematic history, the rivalry between commercial and art films can only result in the substitution of a new regime for the old.
