Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese: Great Conversation! FULL

[@AlexGregory2734]

It's crazy to think about Scorsese being asked in 1997 if he had anymore big projects in him. And Scorsese questioning his own durability. He's made so many classics since then.

[@abhaythegodfather]

Well Coppola was done by 97! So probably Scorsese just wanted to be polite about his journey.

[@lorello7373]

And it's crazy that Coppola, from 97 till these days, didn't have a real amount of money to make his projects. He made The Godfather and Apocalypse Now....it seems Hollywood forgot it

Scorsese is a maniac, workaholic living legend. An all around all genre champion. He's a rare, rare breed. dude has done TV, movies, ads, short films, documentaries. Has done comedy, drama , biography, action, gangster, religion. The only thing that i really want him to make- science fiction and horror. both these elements are used in other genre movies by him. But not full sci-fi or horror

Wonder what these gentlemen would say about the modern medium of streaming services, which has allowed for very long-form storytelling.

[@rayanebenziada8594]

You can see Francis admiration for Martin

[@silversnail1413]

Francis actually wanted Martin to direct Godfather ll but the studio wouldn't let him. He only had three films under his belt but Francis already knew he was a genius. Francis was also instrumental in getting Martin the director's seat for Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore since he personally recommended him to Warner Brothers.

[@rocky8838]

I find it very interesting that the things they were saying in this interview from '97 are as relevant in 2021 as it was back then. The low attention span kids had back then because of 20 minute sitcoms can now be blamed on Tiktok and social media in general. As the saying goes "The more things change, the more they stay the same."

[@denroy3]

Frankly, I grew up on the 25 minute TV shows and didn't suffer from low attention span. That has come into major focus with, first KZbin, then TikTok, and the whole internet social media thing.

[@enotsnavdier6867]

​@denroy3 This is an extremely classic dynamic. The older people back then claimed something about you when you were young. You deny that it was true. Now you claim that the same thing is actually true about the young people of today. You've become a cliche of history, completely unaware of your own hypocrisy.

[@ernestolombardo5811]

Everything that Marty was criticized for saying recently about the current Hollywood system, his alleged old-fart "get off my lawn" attitude, it's right here and fully fleshed out 23 years before. Marty was living it as it started to unfold. But he missed a couple of elements in his predictions: 1) The "made for China" approach to filmmaking, (which brings me to the next one)... 2) The rise of crappy animation-quality CGI where they throw everything but the kitchen sink at your eyeballs and aching brain... over and over and over again. 3) The quick and dirty multiplex "best-seller not long-seller" approach, where a film is made or broken in the first weekend. But then...! Marty also didn't predict the rise of entertainment services like Netflix. Also, he didn't predict theaters closing, then people staying away in droves (me one of them), because we don't want to bring a virus home. So much money invested with no return in the foreseeable future, the industry may be in the painful process of experiencing another paradigm shift, and an unforeseen and abrupt one at that. This after they have squeezed cinema chains for so long... especially Disney and their draconian terms.

It not only challenges you to shift your world view, but also asks questions about whether we can do better.

Yes and unlike even younger directors like Nolan, he has adapted to the times and isn't fighting and resisting things like digital film, cgi, or streaming but is rather adapting and using them for his vision which is why he's still relevant even at his age.

Movie legends! Gods!

[@timetheory84]

From my perspective, when these guys go, the days of the types of films they made as being a 'cultural event' dies with them. At the present time we are running off the fumes of what they did. And the idea of this type of 'luxury art form' only survives in our memory and with their presence, even if the movies they make now don't necessarily capture the magic that their older ones do, we still hold the sentiment and nostalgia in what they create now. This also goes for some of the other older greats, such as the ones mentioned by Scorsese in this interview. When they go, it goes with them. In a world of muddled technology, and a lack of focus on one thing, the cinema is a thing of the past. It is also spread out and made ineffective by the vast amount of released media lost in the shuffle of streaming services. Just consider that once upon a time every small town had a little theater in the square, that is practically obsolete. And they are dwindling by the day elsewhere. Not to mention just the art form itself lacks in substance, vision, and craft, more so than it ever has. The movies we happen to consider great these days by younger movie-digital makers pale in comparison to the cinema of the past. And when younger people finally get around to seeing the older ones, even they can't deny it.
