Beautifully done

where i can watch this??

Me encantó❤

They destroyed him and now they've been destroyed

What was Welles' involvement in the Black Dahlia murder case?

One of the finest documentaries ever made is The Battle Over Citizen Kane. The heartbreaking destruction of Genius.

His war of the world’s broadcast. Was so amusing. How gullible and naïve people were to actually believe it. Lol

I admire orson's art but when you're a communist, you can't really complain if the entire world is against you, commies are pure evil.

Nope he did it to himself

I adore Welles as I do no other movie director, and Hollywood didn't destroy him, and didn't cast him out. The general public cast him out--they didn't want to watch the movies he wanted to make. Is it so shocking that his biggest moneymaker--THE STRANGER--is the most ordinary of his movies? Not defending gutless Hollywood or even the average audience member. I'm just saying, so many need a Big Bad to blame, when it's usually not so simple. P.S. The folks who champion him today probably haven't seen most of his very best movies--made when he was 'exiled' and after he'd done the movies everybody saw during his lifetime.

"ahhh the french" 🍻

Citizen Kane was both a blessing and a curse. Quite possibly the greatest American movie ever made, everything else he did was measured against that film, and never was able to duplicate it.

Nice work.

Orson Welles was a truly fascinating and frustrating character. He was a genius of his medium, but he was also probably his own worst enemy. I've read many books on him over the decades and one thing that sticks out throughout is that he was not the victim of the Hollywood system. He refused to kowtow to the studios , however he was not clever enough to outsmart them. It reminds me of a piece of Chinese wisdom that goes, That which does not bend is easily broken. What great films the world was denied because of the pigheadedness of both parties and couldn't make even the slightest concessions for the other. I highly recommend a book titled Young Orson, which chronicles his life from birth to the release of Citizen Kane. It's staggering what he accomplished in such a short period of time. From his work on the stage, then radio, and to Hollywood. Unfortunately these would be the glory days and then a steady decline. But they were not without moments of distinction. My personal favourite of his films is The Trial. I think it's better than Kane and captured the nightmarish quality of the Kafka novel. I cannot watch the outtakes of Welles doing the commercial for a cheap wine while in a state of intoxication. He did these degrading jobs just to earn money to keep whatever project he was currently working on afloat. I would have liked to seen his Don Quixote film. The existing footage looked promising. He died working on a script. The guy lived and breathed cinema. I'm still eagerlt awaiting for the fourth volume of the biography by Simon Callow. The first three were amazing.

There are many great films but Citizen Kane is the only movie that I’ve ever watched where I knew whoever made this was a genius.

The very fact that Hollywood had cast him out is proof that this was a good man.

This is bullshit. His Macbeth, Othello, Touch of Evil and Chimes At Midnight all great films done outside the system. He was actually the first independent director.

It’s too bad Welles didn’t have a major studio backing him in the same way that Warner Brothers backed Stanley Kubrick. The people at RKO who fired Welles won’t be remembered by anyone else except film scholars. They could have had a much greater legacy by giving Welles the authority and creative freedom that he required. There could have been twenty Citizen Kanes had he received the proper backing. It’s a crime against art that he was treated so poorly.

The mediocre always destroy their geniuses. Then they make t-shirts to belatedly associate themselves with greatness. 😡

Everyone loved him, no one helped him. . .except maybe John Huston. Welles' story is a cautionary tale--about taking on the powerful (and in the process, proving them to be corrupt). But don't feel defeated, boys. Keep your vision, strive towards it. Just make sure you do it your own way--or be careful with how much you share with The Devil.

Yet he continued shilling for all the nonsense ideas they promote to us til his dying day. What a tool.

he was a phenom one story likely apocryphal is he was in brazil and had a conflict with someone who put a santeria "curse" on him. For me jury is out on how ridiculous this is but I have known many people who believe it very strongly. Don't know if it auto suggestion or some forces are involved.Happened to a white FDNY fireman my brother knew.

I will sell no wine,before it's time

His instincts and needs ruined him if thats Hollywood so be it.. however he was part of old Hollywood too. Greatest movie off all time says it all NOW all of it is amazing even his voice over work and talk show phase. Daniel Day Lewis is like him minus the excess...Welles should of controlled his excesses and stuck to his healthier instincts...his voice and skills

Interesting

Welles remains the greatest filmmaker and the standard for all independent filmmakers. If you are not trying to be like Welles you are failing yourself.

There is a California champagne

He was from Wisconsin. Peculiar accent, for a guy from Wisconsin....

Hurst’s response to Citizen Kane was what you’d expect…from Kane.

I will never forget “Citizen Kane” We studied it in cinema class in High school I went on to work my career in Hollywood for nearly 40 years The early days of Hollywood were amazing Very hard for outsiders to understand the powers at work behind the scenes

The Nashua add... "Saving you time, saving you money, saving you......."

cross yourself when you say the name, Orson Wells

The powers that be in Hollywood made it so that Welles got just enough to start things but not finish them. He was relegated to selling Wine on TV by the 70s. That's power. Citizen Kane is the greatest thing I ever saw.

not to be a negativist but had Welles not gone after Hearst, he probably would not have had such a difficult time during the rest of his career. Citizen Kain would not have been such a great movie ofc. I guess the question is if it's worth sacrificing your life for the integrity of your art.

There’s a movie in this. (Where the hell did the damned iron emoji go?)

Spiritual, pseduo mystical artsy mush. Dreck of the highest order. Almost unwatchable.

great video, thanks

I've always enjoyed shows that would incorporate face, especially with a show like Frasier or Three's Company

The Ski Lodge episode was so very fun.

Loved this show and this video !

This video is alright. However, it will reach peak art when it is edited with the same video overlayed playing in reverse.

Wow! I don't recall hearing about the Lies plagiarism. I recently watched "After Hours" again after seeing "Beau is Afraid" and the many times Scorsese praised that film and filmmaker. I read that Scorsese removed an hour out of an earlier cut of "After Hours" because the comedy wasn't working in test screenings. My guess is Scorsese sees "Beau is Afraid" as "After Hours" with the extra hour left in.

god i loved After Hours when it came out at the theater, i always forget that was Scorsese

Of Scorsese's great films the three I return to most often are Goodfellas, Casino and After Hours.

Always thought that "After Hours" and "Into the Night" were interesting bookends, or variations on a theme; in terms of dynamic contrasts, geographic contrasts, etc.
