Im Polish listening to Coppola in Poland, today November 2024. Coppola is not only great director but also a wonderful story teller with a big knowledge about cinema. Coppola also talks in an interesting and humorous way to make you curious about film creation. Thank you for mentioning the great polish cinema creators.
Dr.USMAN latif KHAWAJA It seems to be common amongst muslims towards nonmuslims. I have had similar experience. I am guessing you are muslim as well though from your name?
Dr.USMAN latif KHAWAJA I agree, I am I am criticised for not joining the religion though I see no reason to, I believe my faith is between me and God not a group of men over "religion". I see God is everywhere, in the smallest things like a grain of soil, to the sky, it is part of everything and everyone. I worship through that and that is what I have been shown, why listen to the ramblings of anyone else or some crude wannabe imam?
I can listen to Coppola talk all day. I love that his age he's still thinking about film form. He's a national treasure, along with Scorsese, Spielberg, Mann, etc.
Spielberg has made more crap movies than any other major Director in the world… “Hook“. What an embarrassment. And I could go on and on. As a young man he was innovative and freewheeling and wonderful… Now that he’s trying to make important movies,… But he’s just not a deep thinker. Technically he’s wonderful but philosophically he’s empty.
Coppola gives the best DVD commentary. Another great commentary is Nicholas Meyer for Star Trek : The Wrath of Khan. Worst movie commentary - Tim Burton.

Love the scene when the Don scares his grandson with the orange peel and then quickly takes it out when he realizes he's actually scared him that's the real Brando apparently he had a real soft spot for kids
Francis Ford Coppola is in my top 5 favorite directors of all time and Sofia Coppola is my favorite female director of all time, and shout out to Gia Coppola who did a great job on her directorial debut Palo Alto.
The immediately observable glowing unconditional love this man has for his family warms my heart. Francis Ford Coppola will go down as being just one of the best human beings ever.
An overused word...genius...but for Mr. Coppola...very appropre. I met him one day in NYC when he was considering shooting Kerouac's "On the road"...I was so excited that when I shook his hand I think I might have hurt him a bit...'cause after my audition I wanted to shake his hand again...he deftly gave me his other hand...and we both laughed. A nice memory! A true artiste!
“The writing itself is the future of cinema,” his point was really good on how the novel is a few hundred years old but even now it’s still changing. Film will always be the same way I feel
I just finished watching Godfather 1 for the 86th time (and yes, I keep count). What gets me most about this interview is knowing how close that movie came to never being made. Ultimately, it came down to Coppola's willingness to cajole, and beg, and demand, and suffer that that masterpiece ever came to exist at all. So thanks, Francis, for being great, because you could have just decided to throw up your hands and be mediocre.
Hey man apparently every time you go to know more about your favorite movie, the things you read most of the time it feels like it was magic that final product that came out.
This guy is fascinating to listen to. He must be marvelous as a dinner guest. The conversation would never lack interesting topics. He seems to know so much about film and the arts.
Wonderful interview (and the interviewer has a great voice, BTW). I transcribed this part because I want to keep it and re-read it over and over again when I'm thinking about my writing: "I thought it [The future of cinema] broke down into three categories. The fist is the script, because the script - be it a script, a play, or a novel is always being reinvented. You think about the novel - what is it? 400 years old? the earliest novels, Don Quixote, and Elective Affinities (peaking of Goethe) - but through those 400 years the novel has gone through incredible transformations dealing with point of view (you know, from whose point of view is the novel being told), and then we went through the great French - Flaubert and the great French artists, and it changed, Dickens and the serial form; and it changed, and then you got into the really modern times, with Joyce... So then the writing itself is the future of the cinema because there're gonna be... your great-grandchildren who are going to make cinema - what will that be like? I bet you the scripts themselves - or what, I call it a script, but the writing that precedes all movies is gonna be revolutionised, and those very themes - point of view, and interior consciousness, things like that are parallel structures, so within the very writing of cinema, which is at the basis of cinema, there in incredible, wonderful work that's gonna happen. "The second category... the documentary. The documentary is a form that's unique because it uses editing and manipulation, even some reshooting - but it's dealing with real, honest-to-goodness people and emotions. Documentary is a very interesting form, and gradually that will grow in ways that we can't imagine, and become more personal, and become combined with fiction in ways that we can't even anticipate - and hence, sure enough last year Sarah Polley makes Stories People Tell, which is exactly that, which is a documentary (beautiful film, definitely see it... I think it was nominated for an Academy Award). This lovely actor ... and now a film-maker makes this documentary that just sweeps you in and then pulls you and suddenly it's about things (I don't want to ruin for you), so personal and so touching that you can't imagine. So I said. 'Surely that is a whole new form of cinema: the real evolution of the documentary film and the documentary fiction film...' "But the third area really fascinated me because in the end I'm just a boy scientist. And the third area of cinema is the fact that now it's electronic, it's digital. You know that when they talk about television and they talk about movies, that that talk is nonsense: there's no difference. Television and movies are the same thing - it's all electronic. The movie theatres that we go to ... that's a form of a television projector. That's not a movie projector... And the cameras that shoot it are digital and electronic, and the editing is a computer. Nothing about film, technically, is the same as it was 30 years ago when we actually had Moviolas (and my great teacher, Dorothy Osner, who was the editor of Stagecoach, cut films - they said - 'in hand,' because when the silent editors took the film and went like that [shows pulling upward], they knew the length of time that was. She told me, 'Francis, if you have a kiss, three arms is a very, very long kiss, but four arms is a really sexy kiss.')"
Hello brother love the way you thought about it, which now has made you somewhat or maybe whole fascinated to talk to you. I really want to make a proper sense of Cinema (this 20th century art form) reply please reply i have some of my own observational theories of cinema really really want to discuss them with you. Please reply
GodFather Part (1) is on the very top list of MY favourite movies ever made in Cinema's history and I am very sure that if anyone else played Brando's role in that movie even if he was 100% Italian will not even come close. Thank You Mr. Coppola for this master piece and thank Mr. Marlon Brando for doing it.
Rear window movie ended a depression of mine, reenergised me "there is ebauty in l,ife, magic"... some masterpieces are soulfood.... We are so blessed to live in this era...
Imagine being the person who called Marlon Brando on the phone that day and Brando was experimenting with his Vito voice to you! This was before The Godfather became The Godfather we know it as. That has to be one memorable phone call.
Listening to this American icon I realized how down to Earth he really is. High IQ. with a great sense of humor too. Enjoyed the interview. Ms. Annette Insdorf is a revelation.
Mr. Coppola - I have been truly humbled- I am sorry for my arrogance- more importantly for my failure to preform. I am grateful for every opportunity you gave me and the patronage you afforded a sonoma county hick. I love you and admire you. God bless your success and the generations of Coppola’s to come.
@Sin Synn My sentiments exactly. Dracula was an over-the-top mess, but still worth seeing for Oldman's performance and the remarkable set design and effects.
@Sin SynnI'm glad you mentioned Day-Lewis. He's my favorite and, like Oldman, has that rare ability to totally lose himself in his roles. Just compare his work in 'There Will Be Blood' to 'Lincon.' Astounding!Another marvelous Oldman performance is in the film 'State of Grace' in support (of course) of Sean Penn.
How extraordinary director Copola ❤is. Not to mention how young he was , when he made and directed the number one movie, " Godfather." And, extraordinary actor Marlon Brando, in this movie ❤. Young Al Pacino ❤🎉. This is the most extraordinary movie of all time in the history of the movies. And, the performances of other actors must be called extraordinary, too. ❤❤❤❤❤
you know, studying filmmaking in a certain era is one thing, with all the history of filmmaking etc. However, having lived those eras, as mr. Coppola, is a whole other story. That's called real experience. He is one of the milestones in filmmaking history, who has all the rights to praise or criticize.
The Lost Saragossa Manuscripts is an excellent film which shows the same moment from two different perspectives at different times. It's where Tarantino got the idea to do this in his films from. See it if you can. I saw it in a Berkeley Film Festival and in Denver at The Ogden Theater that used to show collections of films. A special place.
He said in one interview that while he was filming the Godfather, that crewmembers would walk around saying: "what a piece of junk!" Or-"What a ton of garbage! This film will go nowhere's!" COPPOLA: "Now I hear everyone say what a classic film it is. And how great it is! I sure wish those fans were around during filmiing, because I sure could have used them."
Mr. Coppola, you don’t have to die and go heaven or wait around to be born again. Just tune in to what this place has got to offer because we may never be here again.
...what we are witnessing here, in this really incredible interview...is the Magic and Power of being Italian . or of being Italian American. Every word and idea from Francis is coming from that Italian heritage. I am Italian AND Sicilian., and recognize these things naturally. The damaged Oscars with his mother covering for him is a perfect example. For some reason many Americans just do not get what being Italian is all about. The creativity is certainly visible in Francis here , for all to see.
Exactly. I remember thinking during this interview that his mind is still remarkably young. I could listen to people like Coppola, Scorcese, Bogdanovich, et al talk about films and be so enthralled that, to paraphrase Francis, I wouldn't realize that I had passed away.
After all of the grief and difficulty Brando put Francis through, you would think he would resent Brando. Instead, he reveres Brando and calls him one of the few geniuses he ever met. Brando must have been special, because Francis himself is a genius.
learning can bite you back too. Ecclesiastes 1:17 "And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit."
Glad this is his opinion on 3D. I categorically prefer 2D movies. Your imagination can then do the 3D part. It allows you to particulate more in the movie, and a good filmmaker is aware of this. 3D involves all sorts of tricks and manipulations of your viewers attention that the magic is lost. Gravity for example tried it all, but failed on crappy story, empty characters and bad writing.
I think some people may disparage his genuis because he is so earthy and because some of his films were not that great, but don’t mistake him for not being one of the greatest movie makers of all time!
Ashes and diamond by Andrzej Wajda. What a surprising thing a real history gives to us,i mean,he made the film on the basis of the book with the same title, and the book took its plot out of....HISTORY,a Polish one, after ww2
Hass was not obscure, he was modest and one of the greatest film makers of all time. equal to them all. Older polish film was one the greatest cinema period that ever existed.
Mr 68 ...Polish are Great ARTISTS ! Joseph Conrad my favorite author...best short story ever is "The Secret Sharer " by Conrad. Written in 1910. Just great.

He is so down-to-earth while being openly pleased to be in this business and have his family in this business. What a marvelous man.

Al Ruddy had a lot to do with it too. I recommend the serie The Offer. It's about how The Godfather was made
Apocalypse Now is a masterpiece.
Fact
Absolutely, and so is "The Conversation."
That would be a correct statement
Well, it’s not a masterpiece. It only seems like one because the movie’s have gotten much worse.
Great pic
the Brando stuff begins at 19:00

Thank you very much, that's what I came her for, found Coppola blabbering away forever almost shot the PC down until I read your post.
His comments on Brando are mostly blabbering, just anecdotes. What he says beforehand is actually relevant.
BillyPentangeles thanks
thanks mate!
Francis Ford Coppola is truly a brilliant man.
