Coppola's adaptation

Francis Ford Coppola’s adaptation refers to how he reinterpreted and transformed the original story or source material—in this case, literature or a script—into his film. This process involves making creative choices about what to include, emphasize, or omit, shaping the narrative to suit a cinematic vision. Coppola’s adaptation often emphasizes mood, character depth, and visual storytelling, aligning the story with his artistic goals while maintaining core themes. It’s a careful balancing act of staying true to the original while utilizing film techniques to enhance emotional impact and storytelling clarity.
