      He died of stomach cancer but years earlier had a lung removed due to lung cancer. He would get very winded while making his last few of movies. Directors worked with him to make sure he was ok to proceed during production. His last movie the Shootist you could really hear him breathing hard a lot and it wasn't acting.

    Coppola's digital age prediction is remarkable and even scary in it's accuracy considering that this was still the 70's! Not sure he realized the internet would be born and and the rise of personal communication devices would be in virtually everyone's hands, but I was just shocked hearing him make those observations and say communication revolution. Now, relatively cheap digital devices can make anyone a film maker, and though that has changed things, I have to disagree with Coppola's prediction about films getting better because of it.
    In my opinion the digital age has ruined cinematography and this was becoming obvious to me at about the mid 80's. Gone today are the true grit movies of the 60's and 70's where things were filmed on location for realism and where necessary a stunt man was used for a humanly possible and conceivable feat. Now everything is green screen and over the top CGI graphics that try to pass as realism. I miss creativity and the 70's, and I hardly watch films anymore because your choices are either full out special effects movies with a weak story, or quickly thrown together films, be it comedy or romance that look like made for television specials.
