@Cyberdemon Mike Meh, One of the inspirations for Welles's Citizen Kane was comics, especially Will Eisner's The Spirit and Milt Caniff's Terry and the Pirates among others of that era, so for me Scorsese's opinion on the mcu is kind of irrelevant there. He's still one of my favorite director's regardless.

@Cyberdemon Mike He has a hell of a valid point. There is a viable difference between dramatic films like Citizen Kane and summer blockbusters like The Avengers. He didn't say you shouldn't watch comic book movies if that's what you fancy, he just noted the vast variance in artistic integrity and depth between the two. CGI comic book movies are clearly the fast food of the art form. Your palette is your palette. Ingest what you want, but don't convince yourself that consuming a Royale with Cheese gives you aristocratic taste.

I think Scorsese is right, Kane is an enigma, in many ways. But, for the ending to work, Kane had to be an enigma. If you had gotten to know him on a deep emotional level throughout the film, the ending would have been anti-climatic. Kane is supposed to be emotionally stilted and full of ego. But, you do feel for him, at the same time: that's why he goes about "standing up for the working man" when he takes over the Enquirer-it's an effort to connect with people, even though he doesn't know how to on a sincere level. You also see his softer side on the night he meets Susan Alexander...the joking, and hand puppets. You see that he gets real joy out of making her feel better. It's the happiest we ever see Kane. The real tragedy of Kane is that he really isn't a bad man, in fact he wants to do good a lot of the time. He just ends up stumbling, because he's ill-equipped to handle complex emotions. It's a brilliant maneuver: to be able to have the audience feel that Kane is a first-class jerk...and yet we feel bad for him when he continues to be abandoned by his friends and family.

Perhaps Kane was like that due to the 'happiest' time for him being a child with his parents, and they were taken away from him. So throughout life he was subconsciously incapable of getting emotionally close to people, because they will be taken away. And he didn't want to deal with that pain.

Don't ever try to get Citizen Kane the first time you see it...You will never think "wow, this is the best movie I've ever watched". After seeing it 30 times, and hundreds of other movies from every decade, you'll begin to get it. See, it would take a time travel to 1941 and erasing your brain from all you've watched to actually be able to get how advaced the movie is watching it the first time.

One of the greatest scenes in cinema is the one of Kane's mother looking through the window at Charlie playing in the snow with that incredibly sad look on her face all in deep focus so you see Charlie, her and the room behind her and the husband coming in. I think this is what he means by the self conscious camera. Most American films had a shallow focus around that time. Like Capra.

What truly makes Citizen Kane one of the greatest films of all time is the cinematography of Gregg Toland. He does things with the camera that had never been done before. His use of depth of field, lighting, shadows, unusual camera angles, painfully close close-ups, etc., truly set this film apart. If you watch this film, completely ignore the acting and the plot, and focus solely on the camera, each scene and each still is a visual work of art.

Cinematography is only one of the things in that movie, Orson Wells acting is superb, sometimes re watching it, I almost can't believe he assisted with the script, he directed, acted on it, it's just too much talent in one person, and he was just 25. Also the script and the work in each of the characters, the way the scenes were written, it's my all time favorite cinematography, but the movie is not only that, Lawrence of Arabia has an astonishing cinematography, each shot could be a painting on the wall, but still Citizen Kane is a better movie, and the reason is that all the rest in Citizen Kane is equally high level, it is cliche kind of... but I truly consider Citizen Kane the best movie ever made, and I don't think so soon there will be any other that will surpass that.

Forgot to say that I have seen Kane so many times I've lost count. My take is that it is and will forever remain an enigma. That is to say we all know that it is a masterpiece but nobody has come up with a really good reason as to WHY it is. It is one of the riddles in life. We watch it over and over like we watch sunsets. And it's not the beauty of the sunset that keeps us coming back. It is something more universal, something that we know we within all of us, something waiting for us in eternity. Garen

Scorsese brings up some good points about that film, but I disagree that you don't get to really know Kane. I think the film presents a pretty good psychological portrait of the character. It's all done through conjecture, which is probably why he says you don't really know him, but I think a perceptive viewer can get a pretty good idea as to what Kane's motivations are.

He's subtly putting it down. Ideally you don't want to be aware of the camera. I think the key to the popularity of the movie is similar to what happened with Star Wars. His cinematographer wanted to work with Wells because he knew he could get away with more artsy stuff. It's the same with Dijkstra on Star Wars. He was able to do things that a more seasoned director would probably never have approved of. Well maybe not. George Lucas wanted to experiment. He basically let people play and have fun on Star Wars and that's what a movie needs. Reality has a lot of random stuff in it. So a movie also needs that random input to feel real. Some directors have a style to their movies because the director has a lot of experience but at the same time reality doesn't have a specific style. That's why Citizen Kane and Star Wars end up feeling so real. They don't have a style to them. The filmmakers as a group all contributed their own styles.

I'm not going to say that The Departed is a better film than Infernal Affairs, just like I'm not going to say that Martin Scorcese has become a shitty film maker.

My buddy, who majored in English, had never seen the movie. Then he decided to. He nailed it the first time. Kane had his childhood taken from him. As for me, I like the movie up to the time he throws in with his mistress. After that the movie is boring and depressing as the fiery pit.

Citizen Kane might be the best movie of 1941, and maybe the best movie of that decade, but no way in fucking hell is it the best of ALL TIME!!! Fuck off with that. I don’t care if Scorsese, Spielberg and Nolan all defend it but just because it came out in 1941 doesn’t make it the best ever!

Mate, you can disagree with it if you want, but this just seems like denial. Granted, I also don´t think it´s the greatest of all time, but it´s pretty close to it

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Welles had no idea what he was doing on Citizen Kane, because he had only directed theatre productions before and had never worked with cameras, lights, etc. It would follow then that his deviation from the "seamless film" norm that Scorsese mentioned was a result of this. It's amazing how many times great art is born from a simple but fortuitous mistake...

You know the weird thing is that this movie "Citizen Kane" did not get recognized until the mid 1950s. Right now it's a classic... Perhaps it was not meant for the time it was made. It was too great for that time period because Cinema was just starting and people didn't understand it...

He means that the camera movements are interesting enough that the audience is going to notice them, they aren't too subtle, so the audience will pay attention to the technique. The cinematography draws attention to itself.

It's supposedly going to star Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and Harvey Keitel!! He's going back to making the kind of movies he does best...organized crime!! Can't F@&#IN WAIT!!!

@Roofhack I completely disagree, and whether you don't like the film or not doesn't make it forgotten, because it was Best Picture among other prestigious Oscars easily and topped lists everywhere. It took a story that the original took 3 movies to tell. It's clearly an Americanized version and makes perfect sense, to me at least. But as a film it holds up strong in its filmmaking and story telling techniques that are unique. Its not a shot for shot remake by any means, that would be Psycho.
