Related Explainer: What Is The 'Absolute Cinema And 'This Is Cinema' Memes? Martin Scorsese's Reaction Image Memes Explained


About

Absolute Cinema is a reaction image of film director Martin Scorsese raising his hands captioned with the catchphrase. Online, the black-and-white image has frequently been used to positively comment on dramatic events in sports matches, as well as on films, shows and video games that one considers to be of high quality. In September 2023, the greentext format Kino Is Served, also based on the image, achieved minor virality. The meme is similar to This Is Cinema, another reaction image format based on a photograph of Scorsese.

Origin

On January 2nd, 2020, The New York Times[1] published an interview with film director Martin Scorsese. In the interview, a black-and-white photograph of Scorsese lifting his hands appears (shown below, left).

Prior to March 21st, 2023, an unknown user captioned the image "Absolute Cinema," creating a derivative version of This Is Cinema meme (shown below, right). Also on March 21st, X[2] user aj_larocca made the earliest found post of the image online, which did not gain significant engagement.
