“This dangerous idea that has taken root in America that something is true merely because you want to believe it’s true has got to go,” Maher began his monologue. “When the right does this, we call it conspiracy theories, and rightly so.

Scorsese Begging Young Filmmakers to Give a Shit

“I really mean this – I don’t know where cinema is going to go,” he said. “Why does it have to be the same as it was for the past 90-100 years? It doesn’t. Do we prefer cinema from the last 90-100 years? I do, but I’m old. Younger people are going to see the world around them in a different way. What does one shot mean now? I don’t know any more.

Ideally, I hope – I hesitate to use the word – ‘serious’ film could still be made with this new technology and this new world we’re a part of.”

You’re now becoming the Taylor Swift of film directors.
