The GREATEST Film of All Time!!!

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2017)

Citizen Kane (1941), is the film the made Cinema History. Orson Welles is a Great Actor, but he is also a Very, Very, Very Unique Director. Orson has a very clever eye for detail and framing within his shots. While we as the audience are intrigued by his character, Charles Foster Kane, we are still mind blown by just how well both the Cinematography, Editing, as well as the Art Direction works for us. These elements are hugely important in telling the whole story.
The film was not well received back in 1941. It has been attacked by one of the Greatest (if not dangerous) Tycoons of the Media business, William Randolph Hearst. Hearst Accused Welles for copying his life, but this is what Welles wanted for Kane, he did have the Keys to make any film he wanted without studio interference. That all changed when the Film Industry made it harder for Welles to get his films off the ground. Fortunately, Welles was forgiven by the public in the mid 70's.
Out of many films that I have seen in the past, Citizen Kane is the film that made me love Black & White Movies. It is a wonder why people never took the film for what it was. One of my top 5 Favorite films!
