Francis Ford Coppola on Art, Immigration and Going to School with Donald Trump

Source: time.com - Thursday, May 10, 2018 The filmmaker on making art in Hollywood, immigration and going to Donald Trump’s school Wine, hotels, films are all businesses in which you’ve had success. What has one taught you about the other? It’s all show business. Show business is a little derogatory, but it really is what it is. And even to the Greeks in the great golden age of Sophocles, it was still show business. The fact that I’ve not been stuck in one of those fields has given me a perspective about how things that are common in one but unknown in the other might be useful. It’s a sort of self-refreshment. When young filmmakers go to you for advice, what do they ask and how do you answer? They all ask, “How do I get started?” And I always ask them, “Who do you want to be? Do you want to be Steven Spielberg, or do you want to be Jim Jarmusch?” Because they’re very different professions. Although Spielberg has made beautiful, artistic pictures as good as any, he had an instinct for what the big public would want. Whereas Jarmusch, he makes these little art films, and they don’t make a ton of money, but they’re also very beautiful. So you gotta decide, Are you gonna shoot for that big studio picture or something else? How do you see technology changing the movie industry? Soon the whole movie industry will be owned by companies like Amazon and Apple . For two reasons: One, they got the money. They can buy it. Two, they need the content. Because, believe me, social med All Related
