The Great American Film

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2003)

While many fans and scholars debate as to what the Great American Novel is, it should be no question as to what the Great American Film is. The obvious answer: Citizen Kane. Many people will ask what is it about Citizen Kane that makes it so great. Well, it's a combination of several things. One, it has a fantastic script. Two, it has the greatest ensemble of actors ever. And three, it is told by Orson Welles, the greatest storyteller ever, with the exception of maybe Walt Disney.
