Francis Ford Coppola and Alfonso Cuaron

Next are 2 greats of the last 30 years in Hollywood, 2 Oscar wining directors for cinema changing movies like the Godfather and Gravity: Francis and Alfonso.






Francis Ford Coppola and Alfonso Cuarón

While Cuarón and Coppola don’t share a style of filmmaking both have been very important for their countries film industry. Below is a comparison between the characteristics that are most representative of the two:

As leaders:
Cuarón is very well regarded as the kind of director you want to work with in making a film. Cuarón is a director that takes care of his crew and is close to them which makes people want to work for him as he is open and a good listener. Coppola, while not a cold person, was not very intimate with his crew. He did work with people multiple times but there is not one person that was close to him on all his movies like Cuarón and Lubezki. Once on set, Cuarón is described as the kind of director that pushes everyone to do their best, he is rigorous but a team player, people want to be around him because he makes them better. It’s not documented that Coppola made this kind of impact on many people.

Personality:
Coppola and Cuarón have a similar personality. Coppola was always a risk taker, "against the system" kind of personality although just like Cuarón on his early days at college and as he began his career. Cuarón had a late rise mainly given the fact that he went against people and systems at the beginning. Coppola had more confidence in his self and even though he failed sometimes he doesn’t regret them. Both share the interest of writing their own screenplay rather than filming someone else’s.

Persuasion:

One of the main characteristics that one can identify on these 2 directors is persuasiveness. Coppola did it multiple times as people didn’t want to do things his way. Cuarón has the same reputation among the people that work for him. People say that Cuarón always finds a way to guide the movie the way he wants and really convinces you about his idea.
