According to the author of this article, Brian Dauth, Francis Ford Coppola was the most talented filmmaker in the 1970's. Coppola is very interested and fascinated by families. Dauth states that Coppola wanted to observe family members, the structure, and the rules and rituals of each family. With the desire to study family life, he created the films The Godfather, The Outsiders, as well as Apocalypse Now. The most famous Coppola Family is the Corleones. Coppola created The Godfather to emulate the story of American expansion and capitalism in the 20th century. Dauth states that The Corleone's saga is a tale of both a family and a nation.
"What actually happened was that Francis Ford Coppola did what any great and original artist does: he went in directions unanticipated by his critics."
