The most influential movie

Many people say that this movie is the best movie in the entire movie history. I personally feel that I should replace "best" with "most influential". Although the 26-year-old Orson Welles has shaped the entire film industry with this movie, after all, the movies of later generations will most likely rise to the next level on the basis of the predecessors. I can fully feel how extraordinary this film was in the 1940s: his narrative techniques are top-notch until now, and after watching it, I found a film about Beethoven that I used to feel good about. The entire narrative technique of "Immortal Beloved" is copied from this "Citizen Kane". The strongest part of this film is that he basically redefines the filming technology of the film. The angle of the shooting lens is very subverting the traditional macro scene to close-up, or parallel shooting convention. On the contrary, he takes a lot of shooting from the ground up, looking down, and taking on the part of the picture. Lots of long shots. The connection from the model to the real scene is superb. The revolutionary way of focusing-the foreground is blurred and the background is clear, which was later used by Vincent Gallo in "Brown Rabbit" and I was full of praise. Finally, there was a montage in such an early age.

The main advantage lies in the culmination of the film language (non-linear narrative of multi-view memory, wide-angle lens and the use of deep focus photography, low-angle camera and complicated closed composition, time and space conversion, brilliant montage, matching editing and sound Editing, sophisticated but not lacking metaphorical costumes and sets, etc.), the theme is profound and very ambiguous, and the motif of reflection on the dying of American dreams continues to appear in various films to this day.

Speaking of the unconscious influence of "Citizen Kane" on David Fincher, it is no surprise that Brad Pitt has become a frequent visitor to his cast. For several moments, it will make people feel that "Brad Pitt can be wiped or remade"; even some specific excessive associations in David Fincher’s movies, such as Brad Pitt’s role. Take a few as examples, such as the characters’ mysterious motives in "The Seven Deadly Sins", Rosebud said it was McGoffin rather than cigarette burn ("Fight Club"), and disguise of different ages ("The Curious Case of Benjamin Button") ……In this way, although Brad Pitt did not directly participate in "Mank", he/it has formed a good intertextuality with Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" (I will probably Call it the production value of the actor's professional experience). To be honest, "Citizen Kane" is really a necessary entry point for the study of David Fincher.
