The renowned director Francis Ford Coppola is pessimistic about the status of American politics.
Godfather and End Times The director has now issued a warning, stating that the United States is almost losing “our republic”.
“This is precisely how Rome lost its republic thousands of years ago—in America, in our republic, in our democracy,” Coppola remarked during a press conference on Friday at the Cannes Film Festival, when he unveiled his long-awaited Megalopolis.
“We may lose our republic because of the direction our politicians are taking us.”
Coppola reportedly paid $120 million for the film Megalopolis, which is about a futuristic New York City in the latter stages of decadent decadence, a la Roman empire.
“I had no idea that the politics of today would make that so pertinent,” Coppola subsequently stated, adding, “My feeling was to produce a Roman epic set in modern America.”
Some reviewers in Cannes have praised Megalopolis for its audacious and bold goals, while others have mocked it for its conceited foolishness. Aside from Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Giancarlo Esposito, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, and Nathalie Emmanuel, Adam Driver leads the ensemble.
Coppola has not yet disclosed the film’s American distributor.
“Roman republican principles served as the foundation for America,” he declared during the Cannes news conference. “We did not want a ruler, and neither did Rome, so they created the republic, which has the Senate, Roman law, and all of the characteristics that we hold dear.”
Oscar winner Jon Voight, a vocal backer of President Trump, was among the cast members of Megalopolis that Coppola commended, as Breitbart News reported.
“One thing I could say about our amazing cast is that they represent a wide range of political ideologies,” Coppola remarked.
We are not a democracy we are a constitutional republic!!!
Ron, you are correct but this doesn’t deny the fact we are losing OUR CONSTIUTIONAL RIGHTS.
We are not losing our democracy, we have already lost it.
How can you lose something that you’ve already lost under the Biden Ad.
“We” didn’t lose anything, “We” were bushwacked, “We” were Sabataged! “We” were Sold to the Uber Eliteists as Monions! “We” were Highjacked! “We” were Sold for profits! By the Pre-Meditated Pirates that was Paid a Very Nice Ransom, that are called “Yellow-bellied, Lilly-Livered Rubber Dogpoop from China!” The Uber’s have no life, (because none of the money they have; does NOT make them Happy,) so they are numb from head to toe, but they are so addicted to the money, they want IT ALL, because it makes them feel Super Demonic; to brag about their wealth, & they love watching other humans try to manipulate them, just to be given a mere “Doggybone, or Scooby Snack.” Yes, what Fun!
“We may lose our republic because of the direction our politicians are taking us.” — and that would be Biden and his administration, along with the MSM, they lie, they spread hate and ignorance and constantly berate our country, our flag, and the good people who see them for what they are.
Trump is the only strong leader who is fighting to save our country.
I hope FFC realizes who is running things right now to create this situation.
We aren’t losing our Democracy, the Democrats did that when they let Obama and Biden run for office.
Trump has declared he will be a dictator and will kill or imprison those who opposed him. Julius Caesar decided to be a dictator which is why the Roman Senators (even his friends) as a group. assassinated him to preserve they’re republic. There’s a lesson in there somewhere, I suspect.
Well thats not exactly what he said. He said the first day he would be a dictator and sign Bills to start drilling for oil again, close the border, and fix several other items that O’biden has done to Americans.
Please go back and rewatch what was exactly said.
What the indoctrinated children cannot grasp is that those countries who went into socialism is that those countries end up being moved to communist dictatorships where those who disagree with the change end up in a hole in the ground or an oven.
Democratic people have a demented belief in the sick, twisted pathological lying President who pretends to run our country, only with Elites pushing all the buttons. They & Biden hate us. Democrats die hearts can’t see or refuse to see the absolute truth about how sick with power these people are. They have become mentally demented
