A Classic????

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 2003)

What makes a classic? "Citizen Kane" is considered a classic, because it was a black and white film. The film was also one of the first films made that had the fading effect. It was also considered a very high tec. for 1941. In the opening seen showed a locked gate and behind the gate was a big mansion. That whole seen was a model. Then the fading came into effect, there was so much that it became boring right off the bat. It would have been fine if they maybe had them fade faster or not so many of them. The cinematographer did a great job putting together a seen. Kane (Orsen Wells) was dancing with the dancers then the shot goes to a group of men talking about Kane (Wells) in the back ground there is a window in the window you can see Kane (Wells) still dancing away. The acting was a little dramatic. When ever the men were speaking they projected their voices so much and so loud that it was hard to hear what they were saying. Some times there was music playing when the men were talking all's you heard was blasting music. The music however was fitting to the time period, and the womens clothing.
