For a second I thought this was the Mel Gibson movie where he proves a Conspiracy Theory (1997)... but Gene Hackman, post-Watergate — with an ensemble cast of eavesdroppers?! — tonight's movie, decided.
Thank you for your recommendation - it be crazy up in here (head, country, world).
One fan theory is that Gene Hackman plays the same character, decades later, in Enemy of the State (1998).
I'll have to rewatch EofState, after tonights Conversation.
Fan theories are the only way I ever finished DFWallace's trifecta (2000 pages of gruelling chaos). Thank god for fans.
Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, Palme d'Or at Cannes, three Oscar nominations including Best Picture (which, amusingly, it lost to The Godfather Part II).
Great movie.
In all fairness, Part II is absolutely incredible storytelling.
Are you suggesting The Conversation is even better?! So excited for tonight's showtime — I'll make an updated reply here, tomorrow morning (with my viewreport).
I think they were simply musing as to how one Coppola film lost to another.
