An interesting piece on the 50th anniversary of the film, “The Godfather,” and Francis Ford Coppola’s efforts to restore the film. One particularly resonating quote from Coppola:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coppola, now 82, said he never tired of scrutinizing of the film. But naturally any time he spends reflecting on \u201cThe Godfather\u201d brings back a range of emotions and memories \u2014 the pain of its fraught production and the pride of its runaway success. \u201cYou have to understand, as a filmmaker, I didn\u2019t really know how to make \u2018The Godfather,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cI learned how to make \u2018The Godfather\u2019 making it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/02\/23\/movies\/godfather-francis-ford-coppola.html<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If you’re working on something truly innovative, you don’t know what a right answer looks like. While one can sit and contemplate one’s navel, hoping to figure it out, Coppola’s quote points to a different path – you learn how to do something by doing it. In our parlance, rapid prototyping is a method for exploring the unknown and slowly learning what doesn’t work, and what could be a path to a “right answer.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The concept of the<\/em> right answer vs a<\/em> right answer is a topic for another day (short story – there probably is more than one path and viable outcome).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
