Home Actor Francis Ford Coppola HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers December 2023 Francis Ford Coppola Instagram - A clip of my presentation of the Best Director Award at the 1979 Oscars. I took this moment to give my prediction of the upcoming “Communications Revolution” Turns out I was right! but wrong about one thing, not unfortunately these new capabilities weren’t controlled by the filmmakers as I had hoped, so the films in the 80’s were not all amazing. My friend Bill Graham accompanied me to The 1979 Oscars, having always wanted to attend. As it got closer to the presentation, he was eating some cookies, and (always hungry) I grabbed one and ate it, with Bill saying “wait..no..no” Then I was led down backstage with Ali McGraw and starting to feel funny, and began scratching my beard nervously… This best Director award was given to “My colleague and Paisan, Michael Cimino” for his brilliant work directing The Deer Hunter.

Francis Ford Coppola Instagram – I’ve always admired David in every possible way: his originality, his imagination, his beautiful work extending in every direction, including my priceless & irreplaceable possession:  a small night table he designed and made.

Francis Ford Coppola Instagram – Books that inspired @megalopolisfilm – Part II 

These books are about a time before there was writing, so much is intelligent guesswork of course; there are many other influences that went into my own ‘best’ guess of what human life may have been like when walking was the only method of transportation, (or if you didn’t care whether you could get back, hopping on a log in the river.) I found ideas wherever I looked, in Plato, Aristotle, Lithuanian Anthropologist Marija Gimbutas and suggest perhaps THE CHALICE AND THE BLADE by Riane Eisler. 

The previously mentioned short story in the appendix of Hesse’s THE GLASS BEAD GAME is beautiful, and informs much about nature of Matriarchy and basis of the Apprentice system. 

For an opposing view I’d suggest Francis Fukuyama’s  THE ORDER OF POLITICAL HISTORY or even THE WAR LOVERS by Evan Thomas. All counter views usually stick to the ‘historical period’. This involves one of the greatest pleasures we humans are entitled to which is ‘Learning’.

Regarding that powerful word ‘Pleasure’ I whole-heartedly recommend a great read: THE SWERVE by Stephen Greenblatt.                                                                 

I believe and my @megalopolisfilm concept accepts that all living human beings (Homo Sapiens) are the only family of our species which survived. Generally considered to be one of 5 modern Apes, are remarkable to say the least,  an amazing species of Genuses when capabilities and accomplishments are
considered or in the rare words of 14th century thinker Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola (who was punished by the church for saying so) “…the human being is rightly called a great miracle and a living creature worthy of all admiration.”
