Quotable Quotes:

"To me the great hope is that now that these little 8mm video recorder and stuff now, some - just people who normally wouldn't make movies are going to be making them. And, you know, suddenly one day some little fat girl in Ohio is going to be the new Mozart, and you know, and make a beautiful film with her father's little camera-corder and for once this whole professionalism about movies will be destroyed forever and it will become an art form. That's my opinion. ["Heart of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse", 1991]" (IMDB)

"Francis was a Hollywood director who died in 1976 at the age of 64 after a long and successful career. (V)"

"In his magnificent films, Coppola showed how art and life can intersect to create an ultimately beautiful piece of cinema. He is truly an amazing human being and will be deeply remembered for his incredible work in the film industry. (V)"
