Autobiographical about FFC’s life? I think so
It’s a movie about an award-winning “genius” who has a new and ambitious project that will “change the world” if made, but lots of people in power refuse to allow him to make it, simply because they’re evil. Along the way people frame him for pedophilia, push him to leave his loving wife, and constantly slander him in the media. He’s also stricken by the death of his wife, who died in a body of water. Yet, he pushes through, makes his vision, and changes the world.
Uh huh. Sounds alot like FFC’s life, or the way he sees it through his narcissistic, deluded eyes. Coppola was a self proclaimed “genius” (that’s what he calls himself) who won several Academy Awards, but still couldn’t get his dream projects off the ground because, well, it’s Megalopolis. Throughout the years he’s been involved in many scandals, including cheating on his wife several times, openly sheltering convicted pedophile Victor Salva and painting the young boy destroyed by Salva’s disgusting actions as the real villain, and has tried suing the media several times for “slander”…even when he’s clearly in the wrong (like getting too touchy with extras). FFC also lost his son Gian-Carlo in a tragic boating accident just before Gian-Carlo’s son came into the world. But nothing will stop the GENUIS Francis Ford Coppola from changing the world with his art!
