New York and jazz through Martin Scorsese's lens once made us stunned. I don't know whether Coppola made this film to continue the glory of "The Godfather" or to pay tribute to jazz. All in all, I also felt epic grandeur in this film. Every shot is exquisite, and I love a fine film without any technical pretensions or bells and whistles, giving us a jazzy feast. Look at Martin Scorsese's early works that also pursue New York's gangster and jazz (such as the classic soundtrack "Rhapsody in Blue" in "Taxi Driver"), but Coppola's level is really unquestionable, more than Old Martin is more than that.
In the film, we can see many big stars of tomorrow, such as Richard Gere (who also had a good performance in the later "Chicago" of the same theme), Diane Lane, Nicolas Cage (he was enough in the early days. Clear, it is estimated that this film is also due to his nepotism with Coppola), Bob Hoskins (he later Neil Jordan's "Saint Bodyguard" has excellent acting skills, and we all know Jet Li's "Danny the Wolf Dog" also played a similar role as the boss), and moreover, Lawrence Fishburne (he later became a regular in action films, such as "The Matrix", "The Bloody No. 13 Police Station" Wait).
It's not clear why this film was a flop for Coppola, but for its artistic merit, I give it full credit.
