Home Actor Francis Ford Coppola HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers August 2023 Francis Ford Coppola Instagram - William Friedkin was my first friend among the filmmakers of my generation and I grieve for the loss of a  much-loved companion. His accomplishments in Cinema are extraordinary and unique. He is the only colleague I knew whose work actually saved a man’s life (THE PEOPLE VS PAUL CRUMP). Billy’s work represents true milestones in Cinema, a list which will never be forgotten; certainly THE FRENCH CONNECTION, THE EXORCIST and SORCERER, but all of his films are alive with his genius.  Pick any of them out of a hat and you’ll be dazzled. His lovable, irascible  personality was cover for a beautiful, brilliant,  deep-feeling giant of a man. It’s very hard to grasp that I will never enjoy his company again, but his work will at least stand in for him.

Francis Ford Coppola Instagram – Our culture condones “this is better than that” but that’s not true in art. There is no score in art as there is in sports. Even Ben Jonson quibbled about Shakespeare’s shortcomings. But today we think they’re both giants! Tolstoy said he was better than either of them. The only factor that can hold sway over what’s truly a masterpiece is the test of TIME.
Francis Ford Coppola Instagram – A piece of Al Pacino’s audition tape for the role of Michael Corleone in The Godfather. The interesting thing here, was a reason given to me against casting Pacino was not only was he too short, but also too ‘scruffy’. So we got him a haircut and dressed him more non-scruffy and more collegiate, and then the criticism was he so cleaned up, he lost some of his natural appeal. I realized they just didn’t want Al no matter whether tall or short, scruffy or collegiate. The first “too scruffy” haircut was given to him by my wife Ellie. For the second haircut, we went to a local barber and he found out it was for a “Godfather” actor, he had a heart-attack. (The barber really had a heart-attack and was taken off to hospital afterwards) #AlPacino
