Is Francis Ford Coppola the Most Fearless Director in Hollywood?

[@ablazedark]

I was watching konbini's coppola episode now. he was talking about his getting fired in patton because of his screenplay, and he said: "when you are young the things you are fired for, are the same things that when you are old they give you lifetime achivements for."

[@StudioBinder]

Ain't that the truth!

[@MultiVales]

The fact that he did both Godfathers and The Conversation,all in a 3 year span is nothing short of amazing

Napoleon before or after Waterloo? Let's see Megalopolis first imo, then I'll decide. I have a very bad feeling about this, but it soon will be over because the release is nigh.

I think when the same type of movie are being made they became stagnant and audience tire of them, it"s filmmakers like Francis Ford Coppola that really pushes the medium forward to create something truly unique and original, that's why he is one of the greatest filmmakers because he really loves cinema and tries to innovate it and gives us the audience a narrative that is compelling and something that we haven't seen before.

A great video about one of the greatest filmmakers of all times! 🤩 Apart from few misfires, his The Godfather Trilogy, Apocalypse Now and Bram Stoker's Dracula will stand forever as some of the most magnificent achievements in the history of cinema and many more helped by Coppola through production. 'Megalopolis' could well be the last great movie because we are nearing the end of the 7th art. People have grown more stupid over the time, but lets hope there are still enough left to grasp the great Coppola movie where he's warning the mankind of its decadence. All hail 'Megalopolis', and thank F.F. Coppola for his art of film!🤩🥰🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@StudioBinder]

Fingers crossed for Megalopolis!

My Top 5 in order 1. The Godfather 2. The Godfather Part 2 3. Apocalypse Now 4. Rumble Fish 5. The Outsiders

[@Demonico-j7x]

For me it’s as follows: - The Godfather Part II - Apocalypse Now - The Godfather - Dracula I only saw The Conversation once about 15 years ago and can’t remember much about it. 80’s-90’s Coppola was largely forgettable.

[@kuramobay2445]

Coppola used his studio success as leverage for his personal projects. Most directors today think a personal project is making a director's cut of their studio movie.

[@bacarandii]

I have watched "Apocalypse Now" at least a dozen times, each time wanting it to be the great and resonant statement about war that it felt like when I first saw it at a pre-release screening in 1979. Back then, it evaporated in my memory whenever I tried to think about it -- which was evidently Coppola's experience in production and post-production, since he's made so many different cuts since it was screened as a work-in-progress in Cannes. It's basically an empty spectacle, but if it's the movie Coppola wanted to make, why does he worry if anybody else calls it "pretentious?" It's only pretentious if pretends to be something it's not. Coppola damned himself when he announced: "My film is not about Vietnam. It IS Vietnam." Pretentious? Delusional? Or just vacuous? The 1991 documentary "Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse" is the better, more resonant and psychologically penetrating film (just as Les Blank's "making of" doc, "Burden of Dreams," is more resonant than Herzog's inert "Fitzcarraldo").
