      8.0

      In order to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the film, the director's cut has the opportunity to be retrieved and released. If there is a chance, I would like to see the whole picture. Classical music is different from folk music, the latter responds to reality, but the former is detached, it...

      the director said

      Orson Welles is an artistically innovative and talented director, best known for "Citizen Kane". "Citizen Kane" freed the film from the shackles of the traditional pattern for the first time and created a precedent for modern film. However, it was both the beginning and the end of Welles'...

      The saddest director in the world, Wells, said that no one would dare to take the first place. Although it has been greatly edited, the director's genius is still flashing. The sound and picture montage at the beginning shows us the changes of the times, and a lot of deep focus Photography, greatly expanded screen space, of course the most famous long shot across the room, a southern town in an industrial society, the rise and fall of a big family and two unfinished loves, the most regrettable legend

    The Magnificent Ambersons quotes

    • Maj. Amberson: So your devilish machines are going to ruin all your old friend, eh Gene? Do you really think they're going to change the face of the land?

      Eugene: They're already doing it major and it can't be stopped. Automobiles...

      [cut off by George]

      George: Automobiles are a useless nuisance.

      Maj. Amberson: What did you say George?

      George: I said automobiles are a useless nuisance. Never amount to anything but a nuisance and they had no business to be invented.

      Jack: Of course you forget that Mr. Morgan makes them, also did his share in inventing them. If you weren't so thoughtless, he might think you were rather offensive.

      Eugene: I'm not sure George is wrong about automobiles. With all their speed forward they may be a step backward in civilization. May be that they won't add to the beauty of the world or the life of the men's souls, I'm not sure. But automobiles have come and almost all outwards things will be different because of what they bring. They're going to alter war and they're going to alter peace. And I think men's minds are going to be changed in subtle ways because of automobiles. And it may be that George is right. May be that in ten to twenty years from now that if we can see the inward change in men by that time, I shouldn't be able to defend the gasoline engine but agree with George - that automobiles had no business to be invented.

      Eugene: Fanny, I wish you could have seen Georgie's face when he saw Lucy. You know what he said to me when we went into that room? He said, "You must have known my mother wanted you to come here today, so that I could ask you to forgive me." We shook hands. I never noticed before how much like Isabel Georgie looks. You know something, Fanny? I wouldn't tell this to anybody but you. But it seemed to me as if someone else was in that room. And that through me, she brought her boy unto shelter again. And that I'd been true at last, to my true love.
