great interview, more people need to view cinema as an art form like this, and not simply as a delivery method of cookie cutter storytelling styles for the content pipeline
loved it! Used this interview to teach my young students ABOUT doing something meaningful for life - as in work, art, etc. They are aged 15 - 20. We discussed Coppola's point of view of art: "leap into the unkown". Glad to watch it.
Coppola, Spielberg, Scorsese and Lucas. Four seminal renegade film makers who all came of age around the same time. The movie Industry had never seen the likes of them before and is unlikely to have such a foursome again. Now they are the old guard defending the integrity of film.
Frances Ford Coppola was lovely in this interview. He seems to be facing a lot of criticism for this movie and instead of doubling down and defending, which would be easy to do for someone who put a third of a lifetime into making a movie, he gets his thoughts out gently and extrapolates on the decisions he’s made over the years in film making in such a relatable way. That being said, and I’m not a huge film buff or the most diehard FFC fan… this legendary person was being interviewed by someone talking to him through a really bad microphone on his back balcony. If some narcissistic film maker, which there probably are plenty, was interviewed in that way they would be fucking livid. He’s just like “Hey, give me your questions, and I’ll give you my answers”. Btw, no hate on the interviewer and his lovely balcony. This guy is just doing his job. I didn’t want to give this movie a shot until I watched this interview with the legend himself. Ciao.
Think of this: he did go to the bank for this film, the studio did not want to take the risk. the interest rates are 800.000 dollars every month. for this alone we all should at least see that this movie once. an extraordinary filmmaker, standing out as an example for all artists and creatives, to take matters in our own hands. of course not everybody has 125 milion at his hand, but i think this counts for smaller budgets as well. choose your allies wisely, find ways to get some money and then f... do it.
He's right; we're trivializing our own miracle. Ever since our expansion pack (Homo Sapiens) popped out of the evolutionary machinery, we've been behaving like a slow motion, dinosaur killing meteor looking to cause another extinction level event.
It was definitely one of the worst betrayals of dramatic structure, logic, character arcs, and proper storytelling of the last decade or so. And there's already been SOOO many. 🤮 What a shame.
A true living legend. I saw the movie on Monday and I thought it was a beautiful mess. I admire the film, but the story was confusing. The performances were from very different movies and they didn’t mesh. I don’t know if I can recommend it. I’m on the fence.
It was a social commentary on republicans democrats and the right against natzis and politicians and how they need to shut tf up and let the younger generation lead the way now
If you've seen the preview with Adam Driver leaping off the Chrysler Building, it turns out thats how the film opens. Which happens to also be how my short film noir, completed in 2012, begins, with my protagonist jumping off the Chrysler Building. So, Im getting a little kick out of that. My film is called Bum Rap Andre Hunt, and it's on TH-cam. It's 11 minutes.
Regardless of what he said. He broke the first rule. To entertain, not lecture. He clearly loss his tastes and added way too much ingredients to compensate. That works if your surrounded by yes men. But the customers clearly did not enjoy the finish product.
It's astonishing that Coppola sees "Megalopolis" as a groundbreaking masterpiece. In reality, it was one of the worst films I've ever seen. The tedious pacing and campy dialogue were so unbearable that multiple people walked out of the IMAX screening I attended. I considered leaving too but stuck it out. People hesitate to admit that he lost his touch with this one-just be honest and stop pretending otherwise.
There is no f*cking way this movie wasn't satire. If this was a critique on the social elite as a satirical piece of art then it was amazing. If it was serious it was one of the worst films ever made.
My god this This guy interviewing Copeland should just literally get down and kiss his butt Just ridiculous OK he's got a reputation 5 Oscars he's made some really good movies but most of his Movies Are junk He's made a lot more bad movies than he's made good ones You can't hide that fact I feel sorry for him I'm gonna go and see it because I usually go against The general opinion of the collective masses so I hope I go and see it and I understand it totally and I love it but man it don't look like that's gonna happen He just made a really horrible movie his mega mania got the best of him and he lost his He made something that nobody could connect to And that doesn't make it a priceless wonderful pc of art it makes it just junk

Sure, just a matter of who can afford that
A living legend with an important message. Love it.
"We can't waste one another"; this is probably the most important message of the interview 🙏

Finally a smart interviewer! ❤ Coppola had the freedom to express himself ❤. Can’t wait to watch movie! ❤
This was a fantastic interview. Coppola was given the space to speak his thoughts about the movie. I'm looking forward to seeing rhis film
Great interview! Wish it was longer!
Francis Ford Coppola in the eyes of the mainstream audience /press. What a time to be alive. 🎉
Frosty!! Congratulations on speaking with Francis himself!!! So happy for you!
I appreciate this interview. His final words here are important. Remarkable comments.
It’s a really complex movie. It’s truly like a watching a painting happening in front of our eyes
A painter in an insane asylum
Yeah it’s like an 8 year old drawing a cock and balls and then pouring a can of sprite over it. Probably the same level of artistic merit anyway
@@Santi_g4228 Yes very true, Van Gogh was mentally unstable but wowza did he make good art
Thanks for asking about the 2001 Ron Fricke footage. I was wondering about that.
This movie is art (:
This movie is a movie. Made by a director
A pile of trash more like
"Do you have children?" "No, but I have a lot of cats." 😅
Death cringe

Coppola comes in like a true g and the guy is like "I have lots of cats!" This is why the future is doomed
I enjoyed it.

This movie was so wacky. I had fun with it, but definitely felt let down with the writing.Still im glad they tried some things

Movies have to change (get back on the track) according to Coppola or the 7th art will disappear!

It's validating to know we draw from the same ether as our heroes.
atlas shrugged, meets fear and loathing in las vegas

this is EXACTLY what i said as i was walking out of the theater
Sadly he is overestimating the intelligence of his audience. Few will get it
Wel een risico die 120 miljoen kosten. Zonde van het geld… grootste Hollywood flop ooit…
