    The Godfather is my absolute favorite film, and I've already seen countless documentaries about its making, but no one talks about the brilliant film score. How is that possible? The music definitely accounts for 25% of the Godfather's atmosphere, but no one acknowledges this aspect…

    Wanted a little bit more follow up. When he said no actors wanted anything to do with apocalypse now, I guess this was because of the unpopularity of the war? We never found out

    Just finished watching g Godfather 1 and 2 a few days ago and yea now I see why people say it’s among the best movies ever. I would give Part 1 a 10/10 and Part 2 a 9.7/10 🔥🔥

    Casually mentioned working with Dolby , like a random sound guy 😭

    Loved megalopolis because no one else makes that type of movie in this time period. Whatever Coppola or his protégés make I’ll always watch.

    Heart of darkness is one of my favorite books and apocalypse now is one of my favorite movies. Hearing how it was made is incredible. Coppola is really one of the greatest of all time.
