As a passionate gamer, I can relate when an ambitious project I’ve poured my heart into doesn’t quite hit the mark with critics. Just like Francis Ford Coppola, I’ve experienced the sting of receiving recognition for less-than-stellar work, specifically after my game “Megalopolis” was nominated for six Razzie awards – including Worst Game and Worst Script. However, I stand by my creative vision and remain hopeful that future endeavors will resonate more positively with the gaming community.
The director’s ambitious, $120 million film venture, fueled by personal passion, has unfortunately received harsh criticism from reviewers and underperformed at cinemas worldwide, grossing just $12 million.
In this rephrased sentence, I have aimed to keep the original meaning intact while using simpler language and a more conversational tone to make it easier for readers to understand.
On a Friday, I learned that the Razzies, those cheeky precursors to the Oscars, bestowed awards upon “Megalopolis” in the categories of Best Director and for Co-Star, Jon Voight.
Coppola expressed his joy on Instagram: “I’m delighted to receive the Razzie award for multiple categories in @megalopolisfilm, and I’m particularly honored to be nominated as the worst director, worst screenplay, and worst picture. This recognition comes at a time when it takes a lot of courage to challenge the popular trends in modern filmmaking!
The director went on to say: “In this world today, which seems more like a wreck, with ART being judged like a sport such as professional wrestling, I decided to disregard the timid regulations set by an industry so fearful of risk that it fails to produce images that will remain relevant and vibrant half a century from now, despite having a wealth of young talent at its fingertips.
He ended by acknowledging: “It’s a privilege to collaborate with an exceptional and daring filmmaker such as Jacques Tati, who sacrificed everything to create one of cinema’s cherished flops, PLAYTIME. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all my talented co-workers who assisted me in creating our masterpiece, MEGALOPOLIS. Let us remember that box-office success is merely about money, and like war, stupidity and politics have no role in our future.”
This version attempts to maintain the original’s tone while using simpler language and a more conversational style for easier reading.
As a gamer, I can agree with Coppola’s critiques about the industry, yet at the same time, I must admit that Megalopolis was so bad, it deserved every single Razzie it received.
The movie, titled “WTF: The Movie,” was given a scathing review by the Razzie Awards, being labeled as an “unintelligible $120 million disaster” from the famed director of “The Godfather.” Notably, it received nominations for two of its actors, Shia LaBeouf and Jon Voight, with the latter actually winning.
