“The cinema as we know it is falling apart,” says Francis Ford Coppola.

“It’s a period of incredible change,” says the director of “The Godfather” and “Apocalypse Now.” “We used to think of six, seven big film companies. Every one of them is under great stress now. Probably two or three will go out of business and the others will just make certain kind of films like ‘Harry Potter’ -- basically trying to make ‘Star Wars’ over and over again, because it’s a business.”


Good riddance. Now they won't be able to put out as much brainwashing garbage and have people pay to go see it because that's all there is available.

What a tragedy!
Let's hope they'd finally start making better movies, relying more on the plot and director's potentiality, not on the expensive effects.
