Citizen Kane behind the scenes gags

  • The film was originally called "American", when George Schaefer, the owner of Raiden Hua Company, suggested that it be changed to "Citizen Kane". Wells also considered using the name "John Q.".
  • There is a bug in the film, that is, because Kane died alone, his last words "Rosebud" will not be heard.
  • At the beginning of the film, only the title was typed without the starring name, which was unprecedented in Hollywood at the time.
  • The filming of the film is confidential. Hirst believes that the film is alluding to himself, so he protested and tried to buy the film for $800,000 and ban it from being shown.
  • In order to achieve the special effects that Wells pursued, the film used a large number of special effects shots when there was only a setting fee of 100,000 US dollars at that time.
  • Most of the actors in the film come from the Crystal Theatre Company founded by Wells at the age of 21, and have almost no experience in film acting.
  • Not long after the opening of the film, there was a scene of an elderly Kane being interviewed by reporters. In fact, the reporter holding the microphone is the photographer Gregg Toland of the film.
  • The voice of Susan singing opera in the film was provided by a professional opera singer, Jean Forward from the San Francisco Opera House. She deliberately sang badly and asked Wells not to make her true identity public.
  • In order to get rid of the control of the studio, Wells lied that the actors and crew members were still rehearsing. In fact, they had been filming for several days.

    88/100 is technically outstanding across the times, with depth of field shots, low-key lighting, space usage, clever editing, but not without technology, everything serves the story, and he gets a story composed of six flashbacks. Lost everything and lost everything.

    I watched it many times, but I couldn't finish it. What's so good about it?

Citizen Kane quotes

  • Jedediah Leland: [about Kane's "Declaration of Principles"] I'd like to keep that particular piece of paper myself. I have a hunch it might turn out to be something pretty important. A document...

    Mr. Bernstein: Sure!

    Jedediah Leland: ...like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and my first report card at school.

  • Jedediah Leland: You don't care about anything except you. You just want to persuade people that you love 'em so much that they ought to love you back. Only you want love on your own terms. Something to be played your way, according to your rules.
