Yep

The last time this ultra rich man was happy. A boy playing with his simple wooden shed.

His happiness ended at one of the most incredible sequences in movie cinematography.

For the first time ever (and as far as I know it has never been repeated) the actors shot a single take without a cut that showed Greg Toland's deep focus photography that had never been done before. Only an actor trained on the stage would be able to do this long scene (over two minutes) without a cut. You don't see movie acting like this these days. You see the young Kane playing with ROSEBUD, the last time he was happy.

The breakfast scenes with Welles and Ruth Warwick is a classic. Shows how his marriage progressed over the years.

Low angle shots This scene shows Joseph Cotton, who is acting drunk, fluff his lines (he was jetlagged) Welles chuckles but they carried on and they kept it in the final cut. This is superb acting.

I could give a one hour lecture on Citizen Kane.

Anyway is irmine here yet?

It's tiresome marking time with these halfwits.

For the last time Roscoe, Rosebud was his sled

C L U E L E S S FAIL AFTER FAIL

E pluribus unum

Dear old Roscoe, you really are your own worst enemy....in the words of Radiohead, "You do it to yourself, you do...you and no one else "

I'd have gone one line earlier: "You do it to yourself, you do... and that's why it really hurts. "

Roscoe reminds me of Don Quixote. trying to fight giants that are really windmills while being laughed at.

Wa hey!

Mr N, long time no see ... if push came to shove, i'd invite Roscoe round for afternoon tea any day.....at least he has a conscience, one of those glaring things that seems to be missing in your life.

Some would say Don Quixote had the vision and
moral courage to pursue something that is unconventional.

Yes, in backwards world my caring about truth, honesty, reality, the health of children, is all a clear indication of my lack of conscience. Repeating random garbage is far more acceptable. I can only apologise for my lack of idiocy.

Some people are wrong about lots of things.

Well I have to agree with you there Robert

That's a bit like saying some trees are made of wood.

Je lis le forum de temps en temps pour voir si le niveau remonte un peu. C'est la marque d'un optimisme completement injustifie!

Petit a petit, je finirai bien par accepter qu'il n'existe aucun remede a l'ignorance satisfaite d'elle-meme.

Wrong. It does exist.

Ouch...did you hit your thumb there Sparty ?

Mange!
