In fact, "Manke" is really not a problem with the threshold of viewing movies, but any biographical film should not only be shot to familiar audiences, not to mention that on a platform like Netflix, it needs to be given to unfamiliar audiences. We have a reason to watch the movie. But after watching the movie, it is still very blurry. For another example, Vinci is doing various attempts to restore, or in his words, to reproduce "Citizen Kane", then why not use 1.37:1, but 2.20:1, why use monochrome digital post-production Sacrificing resolution and the like. Abandoned his unique visual style and tried black and white, but this time the retro aesthetics were not successful for me, it was a strange blend of styles. It is true that the artist wants to express his true self, rather than becoming Kane, which I agree with. The movie went online at this time. It is quite coincidental that the 1934 film industry desperately wanted the audience to return to the theater. At that time, it was the Great Depression, but now it is the new crown pneumonia.

I'm afraid there will be more homework to watch this film than last year's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood". Compared to the current words, the intermingling of Hollywood and politics in the golden age is indeed a very interesting subject, and the original "Citizen Kane" itself also has a strong political significance (even the personal favorite of Big D). But now that the original work has completed an allegory of Hirst and politics, the behind-the-scenes story of the filming is still focused on this, which is a bit superfluous. The hard work that old Vinci put into it is obvious to all, but for Mank, a screenwriter who has a serious self-destructive tendency but retains a trace of idealism, Sokin is obviously the most ideal writer, and Vinci and Sokin’s "Social "Network" is the best tribute to "Citizen Kane"
