Francis Ford Coppola: His Place in the History of Film, Influences, Style and Impact on the Film Industry
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing Francis Ford Coppola: his life, influences and impact on the film industry. Francis Ford Coppola has attained a great place in the history of American film makers as one of the most innovative, dedicated and most of all independent directors of the second half of the 20th century. Inspired originally by directors such as Orson Welles and Jean-Luc Godard, Coppola and his colleagues from the late 1960s and early 1970s have managed to create a unique and committed independent film generation. The Italian operatic lighting and music throughout the film “The Godfather” and the painstakingly realistic “Apocalypse Now” have escalated Coppola higher than his original intention to “launch something independent and something American that was really related to cinema”. In the creation of his own studio, Zoetrope, Coppola has launched careers of other directors and writers with independent vision within his own and the subsequent generation. Rather than follow in the well structured footsteps of many of those who preceded him, Coppola’s vision is more that of the “concept of the auteur” where he is a creator of his work rather than one who just films the work. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Francois Truffaut's "The 400 Blows": Purpose And Self-Reflexive Aspects
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Parisian schoolboy Antoine Doinel cannot figure out why he exists in this life; neither his mother nor father care about him as parents should, his academic lessons leave him empty as though he were in school for no other reason than to be sent away from home and although he is not a bad child, he has been placed within a situation that serves to unjustly chastise him. Francois Truffaut's 1959 production of The 400 Blows seeks to illustrate the manner by which life can be a double-edged sword. Utilizing Antoine as his focal point, Truffaut carefully orchestrates the film to represent the wants and desires of those who are otherwise chained to an oppressive existence. More specifically, the director was seeking to demonstrate just how difficult adolescence is for a young man whose sights are set on bigger and better things. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
15 pages in length. The influence of prime time media is both vast and far-reaching in its ability to educate, inform and enlighten the viewing public.
