The Godfather Part 3

Francis Ford Coppola's commentary on the Godfather III is positively King Lear-esque, it's better than the film by a mile.

Watching this commentary I learned a lot, you see for all these years I always thought that the reason that the third Godfather film was bad was because it had a bevy of weak performances and a terrible script. However that wasn't the case. According to Coppola it was a "conspiracy" controlled by Paramount (and I believe the Jews-however he only alludes to them and never says it outright) to destroy the artist.

Also according to Coppola, his daughter Sofia wasn't bad in the film, she simply suffered the slings and arrows of the press and popular opinion because people were secretly trying to attack him, like they did with Michael Corleone in the film. He actually says that the film is a mirror of real life because in an attempt to kill Michael (Coppola) they kill his Daughter (His Daughter) at the Opera.

Not only does this commentary talk about how the studio wrecked the film, but Francis also teaches you how to properly prepare Gnocchi, you can't beat that. Also there are sad but funny stories about the Coppola Family, like how his uncle died in his home of a heart attack watching the Academy Awards when he saw that he didn't win the statue for best score.

Listening to Francis Ford Coppola is really great, he does perfect commentary. After listening to his conspiracy theories and the horror of the Hollywood system which "took his passion out of making films" you start to believe that maybe this would have been a better film had he had more than a year to write, direct, and release it.
