If someone showed you a photo of the Coppola family and asked you to point out who in the family is a director or will become a director in the future, you'd probably be reluctant to say More like a father, he looks like a gangster tycoon in the 1960s, with a big beard and square glasses. You wouldn't say that daughter Sophia is more artistic, she looks too ordinary, like a humble piece of bread. Compared with her cousin Nicholas, whose eyes have been sharp for the first time, she is an ugly duckling. However, this daughter is not only contemplating how to escape the near future life - marrying a decent husband, living a life of servants, and having children, but she is determined to be like a father, to use the movie for a living.
"The Ugly Duckling" later really became a leaf on the family's wreath of honor. On the evening of September 11, 2010, at the 67th Venice Film Festival, "Somewhere" directed by Sofia Coppola won the "Golden Lion Award" for the best film. Quentin Tarantino, chairman of the ruffian jury, said emotionally: "From the first act, we were deeply attracted, this film grew in my heart, and we can't help but talk about this film. ." Sophia smiled shyly, and her mole-like front teeth couldn't help but squeeze into the eyes of the judges standing opposite her shaking hands.
Sophia has grown up, so big that she can't act as a "prop" or "display" in her father's movies. The truth is that she is really not suitable for acting! Still at the age of little Loli, the precious time and experience related to the movie only brought her a "Golden Raspberry".
Mother Eleanor Coppola wrote of Sofia's performance in "The Godfather III" in her memoir "The Coppolas": "Winora Ryder was originally cast as Michael Colleone. Corleone's daughter, who couldn't be on set for some reason. Francis thought Sophia was up to the role and she would do it well—not like an actress, but like a real Italian daughter." For a few days, "Francis and Sophia were under a lot of pressure - a lot of people on the set thought Sophia was young and inexperienced in acting."
Sophia cried to the corner, heartbroken. "I'm a girl from the dignified Coppola family. I'm talented and intelligent. How can there be no place for me in the world?"
Strolling in the fashion circle, learning to design, and creating her own clothing brand... On various occasions, Sophia is more willing to use unique The attire has won him a place in the media page... This is all the foreplay of the inspirational story, and it is the protagonist who turns around and does a serious job. When Cinderella was reverted to her original shape by the vicious public, she still did not throw away the magical crystal slipper!
1999, Virgin Suicides, 2003, Lost in Translation, 2006, Marie-Antoinette, 2010, Somewhere )... The magic wand that turns decay into magic still points Sophia's path to the movie - this time, instead of replacing other actors and performing 9-level acting skills in front of the camera, she began to sit behind the camera and strategize.
"Yesterday was Sophia's 27th birthday, and she showed her beauty in imperfect ways. When she was attentively listening to Francis and taking notes in the redskin journal, her eyebrows would come together. Next month, Sophia is directing her first film, Angel with Broken Wings, which is a low-budget film for which she wrote the script. I heard Francis say, 'Just sit at the camera, so the actors Can see you, see you in control. Remember: an actor's hands are as important as their faces. Hands are always expressive, if you cut your hands off the screen, you lose 30% of the actor's performance '"
Sophia may seem to understand, but on the set, she must have done what her father said, because "Angel with Broken Wings" showed the world the truly talented side of 9th-rate actresses. And 2003's "Lost in Translation" propelled her to the Oscars. Although there is still one step away from the final award, it is already amazing to have reached this step with a small and fresh literary and artistic temperament.
But Sophia doesn't seem to have made much progress. From the film, "Somewhere" and "Lost in Translation" are strikingly similar - the girl's ambiguous relationship with "father", the hotel background in which the story takes place... This is not enough to make people believe. "Quentin awarded the Golden Lion to Sofia because of his old love". What's more, Sophia's surname is the Coppola family who has a strong relationship in Hollywood!
