Jeff Bridges on CITIZEN KANE

[@Milestonemonger]

When Orson Welles was asked how was he able to make such an incredible movie at such a young age? His answer: "Ignorance, sheer ignorance, there's no confidence to equal it".

[@MitchClement-il6iq]

Also had the greatest camera man greg tolan!

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

I saw Citizen Kane in college and from that moment, I looked at movies differently. Iconic.

[@BLOODCHROMEDESIGN]

Orson Welles was able to make Citizen Kane in a cave, with a box of scraps.

Jeff's long hair look is well reknown but man, this is the first time I see him shaved and he rocks. Shaved hair really ties his look together.

[@mrca2004]

Kinda like that rug tied the room together.

[@rocketrob68]

my favourite movie of all time too

[@gerardlarkinhaverstockesq5019]

Orson Welles was and is the Greatest actor and director of ALL TIME RIP.

[@NotHarpoGroucho]

Gerard Larkin Haverstock Esq I wouldn't say he's the greatest actor, but definitely the best director.

[@johndeagle4389]

Anthony Hopkins is the greatest actor of all time.

[@Mokkari77]

He must have done this interview when he was making the first IRON MAN movie in 2008 and he had to shave his head and grow a beard to play Obediah Stane.

[@AA-sn9lz]

Well fuck! He grew it back!

Paul McCartney didn’t know what a tempo was when George Martin picked him up. We all start somewhere

[@billyparham630]

Everyone knows what a tempo is. It is not exclusively musical concept at all. Kids learn about tempo at PE class in primary school or anywhere else. What are you on about?

[@videowilliams]

Yeah, it's the wanna-bes that get caught up in jealousy/rivalry games. The confident masters who've done great things are happy to share.

[@Kentuckymadness1]

Jeff looks old

[@videowilliams]

RadioFreeEurope1 He is old! :D And as someone said on a tribute video he made for John Lennon's 70th birthday: "He looks like he's been on a ten year bender."

[@Kentuckymadness1]

Perhaps longer LOL

[@Kentuckymadness1]

Wasn't he the "Dude" in that movie? Uh cant remember the name of it.

[@videowilliams]

Indeed. "The Big Lebowski".

[@Dumballa]

Whotf did the mic and audio? Can't hear shit. Got headphones and comp on 100%. OK so what I think I like is that Jeff gave credit to a lesser credit fellow who showed the ropes to Orsen as far as post. Think I loved it but couldn't hear.

It is well known that "the fool" is very close to native state. "The fool" walks through life with all manner of problems just barely missing him. A very high harmonic state of the actual state of "prime mover unmoved."

[@normadesmond6017]

It was also the end of his career. Kane was Randolph Hearst who went crazy when Welles made this movie about him and especially about his mistress Marion Davis. He destroyed him in the newspapers he owned, Louella Parsons who was on his paylist, the contacts he had in Hollywood. You didn't want Hearst for an enemy. Welles was pretty much over in Hollywood after his first movie.

[@Luca-bv5ic]

Still managed to make masterpieces like Touch of Evil though, even with all the cards stacked against him.

[@michaelhuck]

@@Luca-bv5ic Exactly. The first sequence of Touch of Evil is better than the whole Citizen Kane. Kane IS a good movie but Touch of Evil and also Lady from Shanghai show that Welles got better and better. It is also amazing that Touch of Evil or Hitchcocks Suspicion still are so good inspite of the horrible censors who really tried everything to ruin those masterpieces.

[@OGRE_HATES_NERDS]

but he made a bunch if other movies after that were largely successful and was a wll loved hollywood figure until his death who cares what hearst had to say about it? certainly not most people, not then and not now

[@normadesmond6017]

@@OGRE_HATES_NERDS but Hearst sort of ruled Hollywood and the studios because of his newspapers. And when you did anything he didn't like it was pretty much the end for you. It happened to a lot of people.

[@OGRE_HATES_NERDS]

@@normadesmond6017 yeah but it wasnt the end for orson welles in that particular case

[@eligibleguest3868]

That's the problem today. That the old guys do not support the young but rather bully them due to pettiness. A problem of the selfish complacent baby boomer generation in general, which cannot mature and even tries to eat up the cake of the young due to lack of self-respect and maturity. Perhaps Mr Bridges is an exemption. I've hurt that Jack Nicholson aids the young on the set.

[@tesstickles1280]

I don't know, I always feel like it's kind of a cliche to say citizen Kane is your favorite movie. Now I do really love the film, but not because it's on all the best movies lists, but because I actually genuinely liked it

[@videoplusdvd]

You are only one opinion. Get over yourself.

[@welpen2006]

Since his appearance in Tron I wouldn't define Jeff Bridges as a good actor. So his opinion is not significant, not decisive. Vivid storytelling , sensitivity, warmth and a social statement , that's what Citizen Kane is missing and the movie " The Bicycle Thieves " by Vittorio Da Sica has all these elements! Why should C.K. be the best movie ? Only because of new technical effects ? (I even can*t start with "Avatar" anything, since it lacks the human warmth alone CGI-effects don't interest me ) . For that time certain lighting effects and camera settings were perhaps groundbreaking, the story is not logical , not interesting or not entertaining (who is present when the final word of CK is " Rosebud " present ? ) . He was dying alone , the nurse comes but later into the room . Just because the critics say ( the majority of film critics has always been bought and paid for ), it was the best movie of all time , it will not become THE best . "Titanic " and " A totally crazy world " was ( are ) better by a mile ) . Even R. Hearst wouldn't have sabotaged the film by his media power , the cinema chains were pressured not to show the film in the larger movie theatres, CKane would not become a box office success . There are much better (and better made ​​) films. I am not convinced and impressed by C.Kane . The film "Bicycle Thives " by Vittorio De Sica is MUCH better in every way , BThives is named among the best films of filmmakers and critics. And I think rightly (as opposed to Citizen wrongly) .

[@MrAkashvj96]

Torben Lichtenhagen Bicycle Thieves has the most ridiculously over-the-top sound mix I've ever seen in any film. It's so terribly manipulative, especially in the first half when the score just tells you what to think. Quite possibly the most hopelessly overrated film ever made. And didn't the Butler say at the end that he was in the room when Kane died?

[@nschuehly]

Bicycle Thieves is overrated indeed. It does not hold a candle to Citizen Kane, neither storytelling-wise nor cinematically nor regarding the acting or the use of music or anything else. Citizen Kane is far better in any department.

[@peedfarded]

You can't really base a man's acting career and say that he is not a good actor because of one bad roll (Which was mostly the movies fault, Tron was just fucking terrible in general.) Plenty of good actors have had their low's, but one performance does not automatically make them a bad actor. Vivid storytelling, sensitivity, warmth and a social statement, that is literally everything that Citizen Kane is. C.K is the best movie, cause it is the best movie. Story is logical and entertaining.

[@FreakieFan]

Citizen kane is inifitely better in every cinematic department than probably the most overrated Italian film Bicylce thieves

[@alanbehrens4231]

Both are great.
