broadway i saw the empire state lay low life went on beyond the palisades they all bought cadillacs left there long ago to tell the world about the way the light went out to keep the memory alive it s all these human emotions. for some reason we can tap into that as musicians. when we came up with this idea of doing this series of in-depth interviews with really extraordinary people we started thinking about whom we should try to get and whom we should ask. and we thought about the usual political figures, obama, the dali lama. and i come back to the idea of interviewing the person i really wanted to interview, and that was billy joel. and the reason is i ve been in love with his music ever since i was a teenager growing up in india. billy joel has been a rockstar for five decades. today he keeps up his nearly ten-yearlong residency at madison square garden playing the piano and belting out the lyrics that so many fans adore. he s sold more than 150 million reco
he had to be ruthless, but he could be friendly. in other words, he was a complex hero. we re here in the nappa vally on a rainy day to interview francis ford coppola. now, he s one of greatest movie directors of all-time without any question. if you google the best movies of all-time, the greatest movies of all-time, the godfather is number one usually. i m going to make him an offer he can t refuse. but the godfather 2 is often on that list of top ten, and so is apocalypse now. so of the 10, 15 greatest movies of all-time this man has made three of them. i m really interested in talking to him for another reason. when i came to america first i was in college and i took a class, classics of american cinema. it was in some ways helpful for me because it gave me a sense of the culture and the country that i was now living in. and i wrote my final paper on the godfather, actually on the opening four or five minutes of the godfather, the first scene, and i had
robinson, apparently tired, punched fairly well and rocked jake right to his heels. come on, ray. a director and actor finds a story at the right time and the right place. and out comes this amazing combination of cinematic virility and absolute fear. it s like watching an animal. i think raging bull is a great title. and the film fulfills the promise. the reality of the boxing and the great slow motion, all of the black-and-white gore, the violence of the flash bulbs going off. when he designed the movie, marty, he purposefully didn t put a clutch on the film. there s no clutch. hey, ray, you never went down, ray. you never got me down, ray. raging bull is a boxing movie for people who don t like boxing movies, but it s really not about that. it s about this man, jake, based on a real person, who s really at war with himself. come on. harder. harder. i didn t really understand boxing, but the character was interesting. he was just so contr
come with us. we re heading for the valley. going where? did you say? mexico. all the way down. you going all the way to mexico tonight in this old heap of junk? reckon the town will get along without us tli monday? oh, i reckon. i was young enough to bounce that far, i d go with you. the last picture show was a movie that, however old i was when i saw it, i said, oh my god this movie is about me. this movie is about us. this movie is about america as we are right now, here in the mid- 70s, not as we were back in the early 1950s. do you think the last picture show is a john ford type movie? no. i think it s a peter bogdanovich type movie. peter bogdanovic loved movies, had a sense of movie history, but had a very strong sensibility. he spoke to a new generation, both visually and emotionally. orson welles read the script. and i said, i d like to get that depth of feel, everything being sharp, the way you did in citizen kane, touch of evil.
