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.
