Coppola’s independent spirit as a filmmaker
Coppola’s independent spirit as a filmmaker
In the film God Father III, during Al Pacino’s appearance, Coppola said, at that time for his modeling of the debate for a long time. And he insisted on to shorten his hair shaved, dyed gray, shape a character that’s different from the first and the second part of the series. Because this time, Mike, is no longer a year of high-spirited, just with Coppola's own mind as gradually entered the midlife crisis. In fact, Coppola film and Mike are both described as successful name: a frequently donate 100 million net worth, the other one had the countless award. But Coppola said, a middle-aged man suddenly felt he had nothing, he would find fame but are clouds, those who seem to be unable to meet him. He borrowed Mike's mouth and said, "Boys, you are my only treasure."
Sure enough, when Mary appeared, Coppola is filled with love and pity said: I think I am very sorry, Sophie, when she was only a read art student, but I let her wore so much pressure to assume the task of investigating such a heavy a role -- he is not let other young actresses auditioned, but the character Mary originally is Coppola wrote for her daughter, Sophia, so except her, and who can interpret Coppola in the eyes of the innocence of the angel?
There is no such person as Marie in the original book. The reason to join such a role, Coppola said: death for a person is not terrible, but lost loved ones than die on their own far more brutal. And only let Mike lose his most beloved daughter, is the greatest punishment for him.
He believes that everybody is different within their heart and films should have the character of the director which are unique. Godfather has done that as Coppola said, it’s pretty much the image of his own. With that being said, a good filmmaker should have the ability to use less to describe more out of himself so that the personality of the filmmaker is out there.
