Citizen Kane - part1

[@marvincorre4783]

There are so many scenes filmed in one shot with no mistakes and perfection. Orson Welles literally opened doors for so many filmmakers. Truly a gemstone and one of the best films of all time.

[@canalesworks1247]

I've seen it at least 200 times and I am mesmerized each time. I was just re-watching the montage between Charles and Emily. Their acting, the dialog, plus Hermann's magnificent score are all so compelling in demonstrating the disintegration of their marriage. Masterful.

[@garrison6863]

The opening three minutes are just so enticing and cinematically inventive. And Bernard H's music is just top notch. When the Sight and Sound poll meant something, they justifiable voted this the best all time film for something like three decades. It is. That poll has now fallen into disrepute. Citizen Kane is still the finest film ever made. It is amazing how many innovations and styles were integrated into the film, and Toland's photography is perhaps the best ever.

[@scattygirl1]

When Welles made this film, he can't have foreseen how easily people in the future would be able to freeze-frame sections of it, and yet still he put in tiny fleeting details, probably to amuse himself or others behind the scenes. In the montage of news headlines about Kane's death (5:20) the Inquirer gives a glowing tribute, but following papers less so, to the point where one has a sub-heading "Stormy Career ends for US Fascist No. 1". It's Easter Eggs like this that movie-fans love.

[@kaczan3]

So Hollywood was throwing the world "facist" easily even in the 1940's? :D

Ein Meisterwerk von Orson Welles der Nr 1 vielleicht.

[@Dane_Youssef]

ORSON WELLE'S CITIZEN KANE IS CONSIDERED by very many to be the very greatest motion picture in the world. In history. And with good reason. KANE tells us the tale of the most accomplished newspaper tycoon in history... and how he felt like the poorest man there was. A man whose life was always missing something invaluable when he was torn from the very bosom of his own loving family. Who was... really, forced into greatness. Welles was considered a savant--the best at everything he ever tried to do. So was Charles Foster Kane. The film is like watching a newsreel. Or rather, reading an actual newspaper. We're reading the articles, going over the life of Kane. And how he touched the lives of everyone he came across. He was like a finger being dipped into the center of the ocean, the ripple effect touching and affecting everyone else--the entire rest of the world. Welles made the film (and I mean HE made it, as he wore the "auteur hat"--doing everything on the picture) when he was a mere 25 years old. He was considered the greatest ever to do with whatever he dared to do. Ever since he was a child, he was just a savant. And not at any one thing, but whatever he dared to try and do. The reason CITIZEN KANE was so magnificent was that Orson was allowed to do whatever he wanted. And... after all the trouble that Orson and his KANE caused, the poor dear man was never given control over his work ever again. Welles may have even topped KANE. But he was never allowed to again. Never. Look at the history. All his movies after KANE were ripped out of his bare hands, chopped up, watered-down... scenes where shot with other filmmakers... made all nice and safe. He never truly got to make "An Orson Welles" film ever again. It's our loss. Cinema's loss... Orson, we still love you... and hopefully one day... one sweet day, we will see a movie that can even begin to compare with the majesty of talent like yours... Every cinema buff loves you and is eternally grateful for what you did for the art form... of the talking picture...

[@JonRaybon]

He went at the throat of the real life Charles Foster Kane, while he was still alive. His influence, though in decline, was still able to destroy Wellse's career. Had this film waited in screenplay for another 10 years, all would have been well.

[@williamtoad8040]

You got to feel bad for Thatcher, he tried his best with Kane, treating him like his own son, doing his best but Kane continued to be a resentful vindictive brat towards him all because he could never let go of his grudge of being sent away even though it was his cold mother who was thinking more with her head than her heart that chose it to get him away from his abusive father.

[@Random_UserName4269]

I mean. It doesn’t really seem like his father is abusive. Seems pretty normal for the time and actually loving. What that mother did was abusive and the way she acted was psychopathic.

[@canalesworks1247]

@@Random_UserName4269 I think that's the point. Deep down inside Charles was much more like his father. If his mother had simply placed the money in a trust and lived a comfortable but not overly lavish lifestyle her husband would have been happy enough. He would have been able to raise Charles in a more natural way and Charles may have actually earned his way into a fine college rather than just having that sitiuation purchased for him by Thatcher. He's not a bad man, but Thatcher clearly had no experience in raising a child. He did a poor job considering what a rebellious A hole twenty somethign Charles turne dout to be.

[@23jakesmith23]

Was Agnes Moorehead really born in 1900 or 1906 cause according to Wikipedia and NNDB, her actual birth year states 1900. So I would imagine her being at least 41 and a half years old in Citizen Kane. Other than that, she was a talented actress when she portrayed Endora on the TV sitcom series, Bewitched, from 1964 to 1972.

[@matthubbard7859]

She also had a great role on an episode of the original Twilight Zone.

The story itself is interesting but not great. But given the way it was made combined with Orson Wells who has the most interesting voice almost sounds like magic the film was a masterpiece. A blend of dark Erie and subtle ness with the lively and strong voices of that era created a feeling you don’t see in any other movie. As if your watching a radio show.
