Joey Figueroa and Zak Knutson's documentary profile of screenwriter and director, John Milius. A contemporary of Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas during the 1970s, Milius' fame as a screenwriter will forever be secured by the 'Do I Feel Lucky?' Clint Eastwood speech in Dirty Harry (1971) and the 'I Love the Smell of Napalm in the Morning' speech for Robert Duvall in 'Apocalypse Now' (1979). Famously out-of-sync with the liberal movers and shakers in Hollywood at the time, Milius' forthright political views and controversial support of right-of-centre groups like the National Rifle Association led to claims that he was 'blacklisted' by his peers. Figueroa and Knutson affectionately trace the film-maker's career with the help of contributions from friends and family and a host of Hollywood stars including Francis Ford Coppola, Harrison Ford, George Lucas, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Martin Scorsese and Oliver Stone.
Francis Ford Coppola directs this Oscar-winning crime drama starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. It is 1958 and Michael Corleone (Pacino) has now fully embraced the trappings of a Mafia boss, leading to conflict with his wife, Kay (Diane Keaton). As he attempts to expand his crime empire, he thinks of his late father Vito (De Niro)'s rise to power in New York during the 1920s, but all of Michael's attempts to emulate Vito and do the best for his family only pulls them further apart. Both a prequel and sequel to 'The Godfather' (1972), the film was nominated for eleven Oscars, winning five awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor (De Niro).
