did not unravel my classics

After watching "Citizen Kane", I had no mood swings until the moment Kane died. The narrative of the ending is so bland that one can only guess the ending. I can only add one reason that makes me think this movie is very popular, that is: "CITIZEN KANE is a movie made in 1940!"

If it was sixty-nine years ago, it might have been There are indeed many breakthroughs, different shooting techniques, narration methods, visual effects, special effects makeup (the last one is really good), a lot of reasons... But in 2009, plus people said that for decades it was " Top 10 Movies in the World", with expectation and hope, it is inevitable to be a little disappointed. Just like watching Akira Kurosawa's "Rashomon", you should definitely watch it, because it is a classic, but watching it once is enough. Maybe this comparison is unrealistic and unfair, but watching movies is like this, you can't appreciate the age too much.

    The lens is gorgeous. However, there is no interest in this character or the character's shaping at all. It seems that I really don't buy people with noses on their heads. . .

    The genius does this: deep connotation, innovative film language. But this will never produce a movie that is sought after by the public. Take the car as an example. It is a concept car.

Citizen Kane quotes

  • [first lines]

    Charles Foster Kane: Rosebud...

  • Female reporter: If you could've found out what Rosebud meant, I bet that would've explained everything.

    Jerry Thompson: No, I don't think so; no. Mr. Kane was a man who got everything he wanted and then lost it. Maybe Rosebud was something he couldn't get, or something he lost. Anyway, it wouldn't have explained anything... I don't think any word can explain a man's life. No, I guess Rosebud is just a... piece in a jigsaw puzzle... a missing piece.
