>>212998409
It starts off very good, but you can literally see in the third act how he runs out of time and money and everything is wrapped up in the most flaccid way possible. You can basically edit out everything but Cesar's monologues and speeches, and it would have been a more cathartic experience.

>>212998409
one of my favorite films ever, for sure Coppola's magnum opus as intended. it has a very cheesy hopeful "envision utopia and it will come" thing going on, very romantic about American ideals and democracy but it's so sincere it's hard to rip it to shreds for that. In one sentence it's about crafting something new from the ashes rather than clinging onto a fallen Rome.

>>212998174 (OP)
Release the weird cut!

I haven't watched this film what did I think of it?

>>212998174 (OP)
Do you morons have any critical thinking skills at all? He funded the movie and (they) didn't gete a cut so the (media) continues to keep trashing him and the movie. And you just believe anything they tell you.

No thanks. Already saw it once in theaters. It was shit enough.

Release the cult version!

>>212998409
It's the most awful movie ever made, and because of that one of the most entertaining. The Room is some nutty eastern euro guy who got given too much money, it's shit because he doesn't know what he's doing, but Megalopolis is a tier above that, an unfiltered, unhinged, 80 year old totally off his marbles trying to make high art yet resulting in something that feels like a pretentious teenager who just realised America is just like Rome and that's a very serious thing. There is no other movie like it.

saw it originally in IMAX with like 4 people in the theater

>>213000280
Oh my God

>>213001380
don't make me tap the sign

Megalopolis was critically panned because modern American audiences hate any attempt at art or intellectualism. It's a good movie and Coppola is one of the last real directors working today.

Truly even if you have "it" you eventually lose it.

>>212998216
Not until he directs a Jack 2

Adam Driver cannot act for shit. Every "decent" film he's been in has seen his performance redeemed in the editing room.
Casting him was the achilles heel of this production. I mean, after all, this is the guy who was pivotal in destroying Star Wars as a marketable IP... but I understand most of you are still too hungup on the chuckle brothers JJ and Rian and aren't ready to have that conversation.

>>212999409
This scene wasn't nearly as good as it was when some anon first described it

Maybe Coppola should hire anon

>>212998409
I loved it but I can understand why almost no one else did.
It's basically a bunch of FFC's stoner ideas awkwardly wrapped into an ancient-style tragicomedy.
It remined me of Spy Kids 3, where the entire movie feels like a fever dream. There's plenty you can criticize from a technical/writing standpoint but the whole package is so outrageous that it's hard to really care, if you're in the mood for it.

You can never properly analyse the script or story because he can't deliver on the level needed. We'll never truly know if it was shit or just a bad performance. That applies to the entire picture anon

Try 40+. I don't think he's had a universally praised film since Apocalypse Now. Distributors were avoiding Megalopolis like the plague because his last movie was Twixt but audiences memoryholed that. I don't think a single other artist has coasted by on the goodwill from their early work for nearly as long as Copola.

>>213002799
>audiences memoryholed that
I remember
He made a Neal Breen movie.

>>212998213
I remember some great comment saying "it's like a movie made from deleted scenes". Kudos to Coppola endings his career in a huge "fuck you I liked", he proved himself good in the past, he can do whatever he wants in his last movie.

I know nothing beats meg but any movie recs for someone who adores this film?

>>212998409
Go watch The Conversation and Apocalypse Now then two Neil Breen movies of your choice before watching it. Megalopolis was the best experience I ever had in a theater and I doubt it will ever be topped.

I hope he fixes the ending so the babby flies away on the magic carpet

>>213000147

To be fair, what the fuck is he supposed to do with whatever shit is in the script here?

>jesus fucking christ... THIS is how it must had felt to watch Metropolis when it first release
I did get to see 90's classics like Pulp Fiction and Fight Club when they first came out and they weren't as absolutely attention grabbing at this film was
The reception was chilling and a real slap to the face;
There's really a thing as a audience failing to you.

Of course someone how made several films like this already (a pop classic, a historic disaster, a cult classic that went nowhere and a dozen of experimental films) would know how to make something crazy with a marvel level budget and complete 100% total creative freedom

It was a truly unique once in a lifetime experience and I'll never forget it.

the absolute fucking state of our culture where we have movies like this, and modern memes are at this fucking point
it's like life itself has become absurdist surrealism

>>212998409
It's about the inception of cinema as an art form. The characters are allegories for different aspects of culture and society of the late 19th century.
>>212998174 (OP)
This is how a true artist thinks. He's cruel, selfish, and unfeeling. He works without caring what happens to either him or the audience.
This would've been a lot more acceptable in the 60s and some other country like Italy or Japan. American cinema is so heavily dumbed down to be commercially viable that the minds of moviegoers has been sterilized in terms of art appreciation. Francis knew what he was getting himself into, and he did it anyway. That's the way of the artist.

Just because it has a name and it was done in ye olden times doesn't make it objectively good. Jesters aren't exactly high art either.

history has shown that most filmmakers are unable to create something watchable without studio involvement.

>>213012252
Coppola doesn't care. He did what he wanted to do. What you or I think of it is irrelevant to him. This is to be admired by 4chan. It is the ultimate shitpost; one which you can never be sure is sincere or faked. Regardless, he is laughing because history has a way of lionizing madmen.

>>213013724
maybe he made decisions in the edit for the sake of accessibility for the audience, or whatever
if he wants to re-edit the film I say go for it. If he wants he should pull a Lucas and insert some CGi, go crazy,
I will buy a new copy or pay to see it in theaters again if only because its so refreshing to see someone produce art for the sake of art.

>>212998174 (OP)
Maybe don't cast Adam driver as your lead next time and maybe your movie would do well, you fucking retarded boomer.

Amazing movie, best in decades. I will watch and enjoy each and every cut that will be released without any shame or regrets.

Movie was unironically pretty good when I saw it in the theater. The critical response has reminded me of how people reacted to the prequels back in the day.

>>212998213
Dear god. Why didn't they hire a trained actor instead of some guy who stacks shelves?

The film really felt like the pretentious filmschool kid who idolised the golden era of hollywood had been given too much money to make whatever they wanted.
There was so little structure. So little attention given to telling an interesting story or fleshing out the characters. Still, I like that it was truly independent

>>212998409
It was pretty great
