Love this conversation. Very often do we hear filmmakers talk about films that influenced them so it’s very interesting to hear Coppola speak of the books he’s read.

[@nbme-answers]

WHAT A LIFE! Thank you Francis! Duecent' anni! 🍷

[@brandonwalker6403]

Wonderful conversation. And bravo maestro Coppola!

[@avx4281]

Loved this conversation so much. Coppola is a great director and a great man. Thanx so much Ryan.

[@ZeeWatcher1000]

Spectacular. So glad I watched this. Wishing FFC All The Best

[@superdreamIndie]

I don't know who you are man but this interview is golden. Jump right into the process of writing and creativity and not dwelling and wasting time on FFC repeating his past filmography

[@chayofloreszaldivar4386]

Wow! Great interview Ryan!! Now have a list of books to read up on and some movies to watch! Sending energies to both of y'all; great men!! Thank you!

[@joniheisenberg]

Wonderful discussion. Thank you!

[@kurisensei]

Wonderful conversation. It’s such a shame that America doesn’t have great auteurs like it did in the 70s

[@Alexa4Grace]

Francis you are a deeply beautiful man. Abundant blessings. Live long(er) and prosper.

[@RFrederick-b7e]

Sublime conversation… riveting. thank you!

[@erikafunny.]

I love this episode this is definitely one of my favorite episodes.

[@InTheBleakMidwinter]

He and his daughter are both brilliant

[@lb6415]

no. just him. sorry.

[@ExecutiveZombie]

Coppola and his daughter are phenomenal. 🎬

[@Tacit_Tern]

Hands down, one of the greatest directors of all time. Wouldn't you agree?

[@David_Lo_Pan]

Indeed!

[@Will_Smith_Slapping_Xi_Jinping]

Any others?

[@emiliog.4432]

Top ten definitely. He is a pioneer who took big risks and made iconic films. There really are a lot of great directors.

[@toniohumes3082]

Top 5 on my list

[@STORI-Share]

i agree

[@tom120ali]

Mr. Coppola seems so down to earth considering the incomparable works of genius attached to him.

[@andresorlandogomezlopez7592]

A lot of cultural knowledge here, Thank you!

[@justinsmith3316]

A smart and beautiful interview.

[@Don21071]

I had the pleasure and honor of cooking dinner for Francis and his wife about 20 years ago. He's an amazing person, a very grounded and gracious individual. He treated my wife and I as peers and equals, even though I'm just a Maine country boy.

[@DontBeATree]

Marcus Aurelius is who really got me to study stoicism. What a great model of a man

[@scottmiller868]

Thank you you and Francis are now good friends. How wonderful!

[@Alexa4Grace]

I learned more in this interview than 14 years (or more) of school. GREAT interview!

[@GR_BackingTracks]

THIS is great. Thanks, brother-man!

[@IanPx]

There is something about witnessing two people with quite the age gap connect on an academic and artistic level. People are magical.

[@huynhthangDKSY]

read the forbidden book Magnetic Aura on Borlest, and you'll see the secrets they're keeping from us.

[@madcyborg1822]

C'mon dude, that's just more occultic new-age stuff.

[@maximusthe1st]

This was a really lovely interesting watch gentlemen, thank you

[@bbegins10]

Thanks for all the book recommendations they are great and all added to my list!

[@Jack-yj2pm]

The name of the author mentioned at the end is Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola. He wrote "De hominis dignitate".

[@gomezlakade]

This guy make the greatest movie of all time. I stand up

[@marialupu7770]

Artists takes risk , that’s an artists jump into unknow with desire and passion . The biggest risk is to not take any risk

[@AnnaAwesome77]

Amazing…🎉I’m inspired and feel sure I’ve got stories worth writing and sharing. Thank you so much❤

[@formisfunction1861]

Great conversation!

[@roseagain2]

Really glad I clicked on this one, thanks!

[@MichaelMMorganm984638]

I took three years of Latin in school and I very much agree that the ideas captured in the writings were an indirect influence, but well appreciated. SPQR. But the first sentence we learned was: AGRICOLA ET POETA EN SILVAM SUNT. To this day, none of our classmates know what they were doing together there.

[@CaptainWillard93]

Amazing!

[@justinduffer9500]

Gabrielle D'Annunzio is one hell of a fascinating historical figure.

[@martin94590]

Great interview. Thank you Ryan for your hard work.

[@devanmoran]

cant wait to watch megalopolis

[@scatmancrothers]

the master.

[@ChasingEnigma]

His movie Dracula is my favorite Dracula of all time, Gary Oldman killed that role can't say the same for Keanu even though I'm a fan.

[@NgoNgocBaoHan]

this format really suits me

[@aaronwimberleymbamsf5776]

I love his mythos, ethos, and kairos of the ideas behind #Megalopolis and Coppola's genius body of work. I also often call #SouthFlorida one of the nations & world's best megalopolis's. Martin Luther's impact on the future of the printing press is still one of the most relevant and timeless and influential moments in History. "Only the winners write the history" Lawrence's famous quote "Nothing is written" is a precise and parsimonious way to say I don't care what the reality is- I create my own reality and a reality for the benefit of the most. George Orwell often repeats the mantra that 2 + 2 = 5 to show that if you repeat something enough people begin to accept it as the truth

[@d3layd]

33:00 I have a 9 year old, going on 10 and I would love for her to get into the odyssey. Would love to hear how you were able to do that Ryan!

[@NguyễnNhưNương]

really liked this video

[@TrinhNhuNham]

awesome

[@NghiemKimHan]

[@PhilJakes]

Too bad you didn't ask him about Victor Salva....

[@raularaujo1329]

[@no_one514]

9:12AM 9-17-24

[@ademulutas9793]

you could’ve spoken for hours with him do it again soon

[@nbme-answers]

Leave the gun, take the cannoli

[@mariodebuckfilmcomposer434]

I left the gun and ate the canoli

[@petebreadwards8737]

Oof this guy is accused of sex assault on his latest film and hasn't made a decent movie in 40 years. Not someone to associate with.

[@brandonwalker6403]

You’d be lucky to have in your entire lifetime, the talent & mastery this man demonstrates on his worst day. Absolutely someone to admire and associate with.
