Cesar Catilina, the character played by Adam Driver in Megalopolis, embodies Francis Ford Coppola's frustrations and deep-seated philosophies about filmmaking and the industry.
Coppola’s Megalopolis is a personal vision funded by himself, illustrating decades of ideas and battles against the studio system that restricted his creative expression.
The film serves as a metaphor for filmmaking, comparing the architectural process of building a film to the collaborative and financial efforts needed to create a successful movie.
Catilina’s struggles with the Establishment reflect Coppola's frustrations with business executives, mirroring the challenges that creative visionaries face in a commerce-driven industry.
