The Absolute Cinema meme originates from a black-and-white photograph of legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese taken during a 2020 New York Times interview. The image, which shows him raising his hands, became popular in 2023 as a reaction meme used to express admiration for films, sports moments, or other media perceived as peak artistic achievement.
The phrase gained traction due to Scorsese’s well-documented critique of superhero films, which led cinephiles to use the meme both seriously and ironically to celebrate "true cinema" moments
