Francis Ford Coppola
Francis Ford Coppola( born April 7, 1939) is an American film director, producer, screenwriter, film composer, and vintner.
He was a central figure in the New Hollywood filmmaking movement of the 1960s and 1970s.
He is widely considered to be one of the greatest filmmakers of all time.
After directing" The Rain People" in 1969, Coppola co-wrote" Patton"( 1970), earning the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay along with Edmund H. North.
Coppola's reputation as a filmmaker was cemented with the release of" The Godfather"( 1972).
The film revolutionized movie- making in the gangster genre, and was adored by the public and critics alike.
" The Godfather" won three Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay( shared with Mario Puzo).
" The Godfather Part II", which followed in 1974, became the first sequel to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.
Highly regarded by critics, the film brought Coppola three more Academy Awards:
Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Picture, and made him the second director( after Billy Wilder) to be so honored three times for the same film.
" The Conversation", which Coppola directed, produced and wrote, was released that same year, winning the Palme d' Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
His next film," Apocalypse Now"( 1979), which notoriously had a lengthy and strenuous production, was widely acclaimed for its vivid depiction of the Vietnam War.
The film won the Palme d' Or, making Coppola one of only eight filmmakers to have won that award twice.
While a number of Coppola's ventures in the 1980s and 1990s were critically lauded, he has never quite achieved the same commercial success with films as in the 1970s.
His best- known films released since the start of the 1980s are the dramas" The Outsiders" and" Rumble Fish"( both 1983), the crime dramas" The Cotton Club"( 1984) and" The Godfather Part III"( 1990), and the horror film" Bram Stoker's Dracula"( 1992).
A number of Coppola's relatives and children have become famous actors and filmmakers in their own right: his sister is the actress Talia Shire; his daughter Sofia Coppola and granddaughter Gia Coppola are directors, and the actors Jason Schwartzman and Nicolas Cage are his nephews.

Since 2011, Smith has mostly made films in the horror genre, including" Red State"( 2011) and the comedy horror films" Tusk"( 2014) and" Yoga Hosers"( 2016), two in a planned series of three such films set in Canada dubbed the" True North" trilogy.

Rumble Fish
Rumble Fish is a 1983 American drama film directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
It is based on the novel" Rumble Fish" by S. E. Hinton, who also co-wrote the screenplay.
The film centers on the relationship between a character called the Motorcycle Boy( Mickey Rourke), a revered former gang leader wishing to live a more peaceful life, and his younger brother, Rusty James( Matt Dillon), a teenaged hoodlum who aspires to become as feared as the Motorcycle Boy.
Coppola wrote the screenplay for the film with Hinton on his days off from shooting" The Outsiders".
He made the films back to back, retaining much of the same cast and crew, particularly Matt Dillon and Diane Lane.
" Rumble Fish" is dedicated to Coppola's brother August, and was the film debut for his nephew, Nicolas Cage( Smokey).
The film is notable for its avant- garde style with a film noir feel, shot on stark high- contrast black- and- white film, using the spherical cinematographic process with allusions to French New Wave cinema and German Expressionism.
" Rumble Fish" features an experimental score by Stewart Copeland, drummer of the musical group the Police, who used a Musync, a new device at the time.
