My main question will be; how original was The Conversation taking into account its historical and social context and how much was Coppola really inspired by other texts?
– introduction to The Conversation, basic information about the film, its release, the director etc,
– show and explore the many similarities and inspirations Coppola says he had from other films.
– explore how much impact they had on the film alone
– decipher whether this is something that was immediately recognised by the audience or things that were put in for Coppola’s pleasure only. What his motivation was behind certain things he did.
– counter argument. Show that a lot of Coppola’s ideas were original and the movie itself was seen as very unique. Talk about watergate and the impact it had on the film and how it was viewed.
– talk about the things in the film which were inspired my Coppola’s own life
-Conclude by stating my own opinion and summarise how much of The Conversation do I think is original
