Mi: Sofia Coppola (especially in Marie Antoinette), Nicolas Winding Refn (particularly in The Neon Demon) and Terrence Malick (anything after 2000) all get knocked by those who do not adhere to the following: "why say it if you can show it?" Glad you and enough other cinephiles get it.

[@Heythere8008]

Her movies are filled with SO many emotions, I think, for women they experience the most emotions when watching her movies. First movie I watched from her was a CLASSIC The virgin suicides I just remember it was like 5 AM in the morning the sun was just coming up so my room was super dazy and I could hear the crickets outside (If you've watched the movie then you know that exact feeling I'm talking about- of daziness) and I just remember crying my eyes out but also feeling so content. Her movies really know how to hit and if you guys can't see that, then I'm sorry you are really missing out on true talent and art. AND HER SOUNDTRACKS ARE ALWAYS BANGERS.

[@kissmyasthma3155]

And another thing - the characters in her movies to me always feel like they're trapped in metaphorical cages. Whether it be staring out of a window in a car, or sitting alone lost in thought in a soulless hotel room. They feeling I get from a Sofia Coppola film is akin to the alienation and loneliness I experience in the characters in an Edward Hopper painting; who's souls are like caged hens trapped inside their own corrupted bodies, prisoners to the drum beat of time from birth to death.

[@JudiChristopher]

"Amen Sista... Amen"... She is very talented... I want to be her when I grow up (I'm 67 years old)...

[@bbbabrock]

I had her dad, Francis, in my cab once. I recognised him as one of t leading directors of our time. And I asked him if he was Martin Scorsese. He said "Martin is quite a bit shorter than me" And eventually he let on that he was Francis Ford Coppala.

[@JudiChristopher]

Paul Babock... I am so jealous... I have written a screenplay and want so bad for the Coppola (either daughter or father) to read it... I have one of his wine bottles... saving it when I get to send them a copy... This family called "Coppola... are so talented....

[@bbbabrock]

I drove cab for decades and had a number of celebs over t years. Tho F. F. Coppala was who was most impressive. I think at t time I was lumping both their movies together and I was thinking that Godfathers I, II & III, Apocolyps Now, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas and Casino were all done by one Italian American director and I was calling him Martin Scorsese. Coppell said they were often confused due to them being both Italian. His wife was in my cab w him and I mentioned I liked her movie too, about t production of Apocalypse Now. I forget what it was called.

[@ashleybrabson6051]

A lot of people don’t get the Marie antionette movie. I think it’s definitely more about visuals instead of dialogue. And I first saw it when I was 13. And I’m 22. Every time as I grow up and re watch it, it kind of makes me aware of growing up and how far I’ve come and how far I have to go. The music and the costumes are all needed in the actual plot. It’s a scenery ambiance movie, not a movie to heard a script. She does a wonderful job of show not tell!!!

[@londonb2591]

You know it's a Sofia Coppola movie IF there's a song by Phoenix or The Strokes in it.

[@BandiGetOffTheRoof]

Presentism...I never knew that's what it was called! I like the juxtaposition of modern musical with period pieces (sometimes) Peaky Blinders does this really well.

[@blazeaglory]

I call it "art in motion". Wes Anderson does a great job of it. And yes, first and second series of Peaky Blinders was amazing in that sense. You could smell the mold and old wood in the scenes

[@oldshortschannel]

I absolutely love her for telling stories that require little in terms of budget but lots in terms of emotional intelligence to pull off.

[@UIAL570]

I would really love The Take to do a full video on The Virgin Suicides it was a masterpiece. Completely brought the book to life.

[@zanecoker2009]

Marie Antoinette is genius and my favorite Sofia Coppola film; I'm so glad your video helps others understand it more (it definitely needs it).

[@Sam_on_YouTube]

Zane Coker My favorite part of that film is when she hears about the phrase "let them eat cake" being attributed to her and complains that it doesn't even make sense. This is historically accurate. The rumors of Marie Antoinette saying that line date back to her lifetime, but she never actually said it.

[@edienandy]

Sam iirc “let them eat cake” was kind of a meme during that time period and lots of royal people were falsely reported to have uttered the phrase.

[@ashleybrabson6051]

Could you please do a designated video for Marie Antoinette? That is my FAVORITE movie and a lot of people just don’t get it. And I feel like you could help people get it how I do as it’s a film not of dialogue which is its harshest criticism. I would so appreciate it!!!

[@biatravessa5234]

YAAAAS, PLEASE, SCREENPRISM!!!!!

[@edienandy]

I love Marie Antoinette. I have since I saw it when it was released back when I was 15. It’s definitely one that’s quite polarizing, it seems like people either love it or hate it.

She's one of the few directors that I can always count on. Doesn't even matter what the subject material is, a good story at the hand of a master is always a treat. Let's hope David Fincher does something special with World War Z 2

[@JuneMcCready]

I love her aesthetic

[@devodavis6454]

I love the way she photographs things and people. I could watch her shots of Scarlett in Lost all day.

[@EtherealBlueRainbow]

Lost in translation is the only movie of hers I've seen & it spoke to me in a way movies rarely do, not only because of my fascination for the Japanese culture & it's contradictions, but mostly because of the theme itself. I was a multicultural little girl once, born of parents from different cultures, countries, who grew up in a country not my own & studying in a French international school filled with different nationalities, yet other cultures added to the mix. When the film came out, I was an 18 year old who had just moved the autumn before to France to go to Uni, & while I understood the French culture quite well, I was also not French. All my life, I've felt this acute disconnect between languages, cultures, people, places, the loss of meaning in translation, the perspective of the outsider looking in, the one who understands but can't be part of even their own native culture, never mind the adopted one of where you live. The loss of meaning & purpose in your own life, the barriers between you & the people close to you... So many layers of distance which sometimes makes a person a spectator of their own life & of the world around them... Every time the feeling of disconnect comes to my mind, regardless of its origins, the expression & the movie are there to illustrate it: "Lost in translation"... Lost in direction, in expression, in understanding... That's why when I first heard the dismissive criticism, it bewildered me, in a hit puppy kind of way, who truly didn't understand why. "A woman", "daughter of", the criticism of the theme itself or the composition, when they hit such perfect notes to me. Criticism which seems to have followed throughout her carrier. Is it so wrong to bring a woman's perspective, to use pastel tones or a non epic condemn & save the world perspective, to not speak of the entire world's issues for once, to speak more softly, but with meaning? There is room for more than one voice in the world, in cinema. & somehow, the voices which are rarely heard are those who speak to me the most.

[@alterbria]

I found myself fighting tears as I watched this take on Sofia's filmography. I first discovered her back in 1999, when The Virgin Suicides came out, so at the time I was that 13 years old girl Cecilia refers to in the movie. Perhaps that explains the huge impact the movie's story, visuals, book and (amazing) soundtrack had. Her characters are usually melancholic, transitioning or even lost and yet, we can always relate. I think women experience her movies differently too. I think ever since I was 13, she's made movie that made things a little less difficult, meaning she could romanticize the uncertainty, the agony, the despair. I just love and am grateful for her and her work. Sofia is pure ART ♡

[@00HoODBoy]

[@Angels-3xist]

As an artist she is an ever present and inspiring example through life. To me at least. Some creators have a sort of pervasive quality that doesn't become fully apparent until time sets in. That kind of influence is invaluable to all kinds of creation and in alot of ways to just the interconnection in life itself. She is a very positive force.

[@thegrlnxt6838]

My first Coppola movie was Marie Antoinette and damn it slapped! Just how different it was compared to other biopics.

[@jones1351]

I like her islands of intimacy in the seas of pressure to be insane, depicted in 'Lost..' and 'Somewhere'. I'm simple minded. I either like a movie or not. People like you all have the gift of articulating why.

[@Kaboomboo]

I rather enjoyed Maria Antoinette. I don't know why it was stomped on so much when it was released. I think it did a good job helping one sympathize, more importantly identify, with someone that was born into lavish royalty and often blamed for many economical hardships for her country.

[@JudiChristopher]

This is fantastic... I hung on every word... I thought I loved Sofia's work before, but I love it even more now. "Thank YOU Screen Prism" for such a great tutorial... (and no loud background music).

[@SirEriol]

You know it's a Sofia Coppola film if some of the men argue that it was pretty but dull, filled with too much pointless emotion, and not as deep as everyone lauds it to be, if some of the women reply that they not having the insight to understand why the movie is that way nor the ability to see its worth is the very message that the film tries to send, and if the rest of the audience just stays quiet, mind filled with thoughts that do not seem to be interested in condensing into words, and suddendly, without taking notice, they've started walking towards no concrete place, all while wishing they could just lay down with their eyes closed for a while. Just a little while.

[@duantorruellas716]

I think Sophia is a great film maker . I've seen 3 of her films and I found them to be a feast for the eyes. The way she frames the scenes with colors and textures , very nice and the clothes are incredible. Her films are bright and cheerful . Anytime I see one of her films I know I'm in for a photographic treat , where the plot isn't hard to follow because she focuses on the human element . I wish her every success in the future. And I can't believe they boo ed her at cannes . She wasn't the only one that ever did a period /present film. Maybe because they were French , and ok I get it , but she didn't make her into a bathory type character. Marie was a product of her time and station . Dunst played her with the innocence of a child so I felt bad they had to die. And I feel bad she got that kind of response , art is open for response and discussion but never open for public abuse. It was art , it wasn't a bad historical account meant to hurt people , get over yourself canne.

[@Sam_on_YouTube]

If you've never seen it, look up her student short film Lick the Star. It is a student film and clearly immature, but it shows the bones of the great filmmaker she would soon become.

Sophia has unique way of showing what's below the surface without words.. watching virgin suicide and Marie Antoinette helped me understand the character.. I don't think I would have been able to see at Marie Antoinette in the same light if I hadn't watched the movie 1st. Whence I watch the movie it maybe curious about Marie Antoinette and what a her plight was and her as a person and honestly I have a found Ami went else that told her story in the best way. the colors the The costume design even the music.. I literally recorded the song I think called fools rush in on my phone so could listen to it lol also being able to use the Versailles palace and she got to talk to different historians so that she was more accurate in the film I think the only thing that was wrong with it was the dialog lol that wasn't her fault! All of her movies ... certain scenes helps you to sometimes even hear the loneliness or dread within yourself. I remember there were a lot of scenes where I could feel what the characters were feeling simply because of the lights the shot and no words lol I hsd no idea that she made Virgin suicides but it makes sense because it gave me the same haunting lingering feeling of what if..and sorrow but in an artistic way...

She'll probably never make something on the level of Apocalypse Now, but if she can go her whole career without making something like "Jack", then she'll have a leg up on him there.

Before The Credits I think its absurd to compare them, their filming styles and themes are completely different. Its like comparing apples and oranges just because they're family...I mean fruits.

[@MrElicottero]

I don't think she is the type of filmmaker to make movies of the scale of Apocalypse Now. She is great in her own right I think. She has the subtlety of psychological portrayal that her father doesn't. He has the epic, broad stroke view that she doesn't.

[@natmancio]

in this video they talk about how it isn't her style to make huge and epic films, i dont understand why people constantly need to say that she wont "live up" to her father. well maybe she doesnt want to "live up to francis. i mean, if she wanted to, she'd make films that are at least A BIT similar to francis', but in reality she does the opposite, she doesnt try to be like her father, she tries to do her thing

[@Sam_on_YouTube]

I actually think she's better than her father and yes, I am aware of what high praise that is. That said, they are hard to compare. His works are much more epic and hers are far more intimate. She also has a LONG way to go before building up a body of work like his.
