The last interview from Hearts of Darkness (1991), the Apocalypse Now documentary. How prescient. :O

  • Coppola was right. I've been looking through youtube profiles, there are a lot of fat girls from Ohio.

  • Unfortunately, this was taken out of context. If you watch the whole segment, Coppola is discussing how everyone someday will be producing meaningless videos and saturating video media. This part is not included in this particular clip. Having said this - I think it is a stretch that he predicts YouTube. The basic idea of a large amount of video media being distributed is there.

    "He predicted the rise of the independent filmmaker."

    In 1991? Just some 102 years too late, then. (The Jewish-American movie oligopoly is a rather modern invention.)

  • You probably mean that he predicted Vimeo since there you can find way more art video content.

  • @protrend 'meaningless videos saturating video media' -- sounds exactly like youtube to me. :p

  • Wow

  • bro, you think you've owned Capolla?

  • @protrend The context is pretty obvious. He is not talking about meaninglesness of it, he is hoping for it to happen. Listen carefully.

  • epic !

  • He predicted WAY more than YouTube. He predicted the rise of the independent filmmaker.

  • great segment from coppola. it's wasted on you ape types, though.
