John, I greatly appreciate the compliment you paid me at 1:32. I am the guy who played The Brain on "Pinky & The Brain". And, of course, my compliments to you on a hugely entertaining and eye-opening critique of the Citizen Kane trailer. Loved it! Love them all!

People forget these people were all radio stars. This was their first big love, that sadly has been forgotten by most people today. Radio shows were listened to with the same enthusiasm as going to the movies at this period of time.

Orson did the best job ever portraying Kane as an old man when Orson was only 25. His make-up, movement and voice is flawless, no one young as ever done such a realistic performance. I believe the first time a character ever destroyed a room like Kane did. Everybody else just copied it.

I saw this movie on TV in the 70s as a kid, and I actually figured out before they show the final shot what Rosebud was in the movie. Yes, I was a strange child.

01:33 is rare footage from the set of the deleted brothel scene. Landis was so giddy with himself that he forgot to tell you.

A cinematic triumph by the legendary Orson Welles. Welles' made many other great pictures including The Lady from Shanghai, The Trial, Touch of Evil, Chimes at Midnight, and F for Fake. Did you know that Orson studied John Ford's Stagecoach for making this film?

Back in '85 I had the pleasure of driving Robert Altman round the Olde English city of York after a screening of his new movie, Secret Honor. As a serious film buff I chatted to him about my favourite film of his, McCabe and Mrs Miller, as well as the Nixon film. Slightly off-topic, he said in his opinion Citizen Kane is wildly over-rated. Before he could say why, he had to grab the iron horse back to London. I still wish we'd have five more minutes.

MOS is a film maker's term for 'without sound'. The M comes from a certain director with a strong German accent who would say 'mitout sound'.

It is a revolutionary piece of cinema, but it doesn't have a great story, and it doesn't catch the eye to start with, it's just pretentious and boring. It failed the box office by the way. So credits to the photography... And that's it gents....
@JulioLeonFandinho8 жыл бұрын
is not pretentious if it achieves what pretends... by the way, boring is a subjective matter, to me is entertaining and better than that, fascinating... Anyway I've never watched the trailer and it's pretty amazing and creative, what a genius Orson Welles was
@oliveiraluis35408 жыл бұрын
well, the flashback thing its boring and pretentious in my opinion, the rosebud thing would work anyway if you just let the audience experience the story from start to finish, no remeniscence, just A to B. thats the thing i dont like about it. but im a Welles great fan nevertheless..
@JulioLeonFandinho8 жыл бұрын
so, If a story is not linear is pretentious? what makes a flashback pretentious? for Gods sakes, the entire movie is a flashback, and It has a very clever sense of humour wich invalids the theory that it's pretentious. I'm not able to find an objective reason wich justifies your theory, and If it's a subjective matter I don'f find a reason to continue discussing this
@oliveiraluis35408 жыл бұрын
so dont then. i think it doesnt hold the audience hand with the flashback thing, maybe it shouldnt, but its a fucking opinion. thats what i feel when i whatch the movie, somehow the flashback thing seams cheesy to me, and a cheap solution to narrate... its what i fell fella. thats all. bananas with the rest...
@fritzidler34808 жыл бұрын
Oliveira Luis- It's a great movie. And the reason it failed at the box office, was because William Randolph Hearst did everything he could, to make that happen. Which Landis pointed out.
