    Emotions are always interrupted by flashbacks, and I can't remember so many intertwined characters. Until the disappointment of the third act overflows the screen, the favor for this film is not even more than that of "Trumbo". What has been excavated? There are only beautiful words one after another, the freedom and pride of a genius playing in the world. Without seeing the fun, without the grace and arrogance of Quentin's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", there is only the despondency of the...

    What happened to David Fincher? Taking advantage of the popularity of Hollywood history to make such a cheap boring...

    The most prominent feature is that David Fincher's ability to do old is too strong. The first shot shows the texture of the films of the 1930s, and the three-dimensional watermark subtitles reflect the film industry capabilities of the new century. Manca should have at least a few Oscars for technical awards, including nominations and even wins for photography. At first glance, I thought it was a tribute to the fan film like Long Live Caesar of the Coen Brothers, but it is not so simple. David...

    Not behind the scenes of Citizen Kane, but more like Hollywood and Politics 1930-1940, with the best sculpting of the MGM executives I've ever seen, Mayer and Thalberg are finally not tool men anymore. Is it that the lack of understanding of the studio era may be uncomfortable for the dense name dropping in front of...

    Once Upon a Time... in Classical Hollywood. It weakened the hostile attitude towards Orson Welles in the original script of Finch's father, but still achieved the purpose of "rectifying" Mankiewicz's name, but in fact about "How the "Citizen Kane" script was born and the issue of credit distribution" does not seem to be the biggest fun and key to watching this movie (the dispute between the two about authorship only accounts for a small part), but it is about Mankiewy. Qi's daily interactions...

    A work of die-hard fans of the movie, a love letter to Hollywood, more precisely to the art of cinema. If Quentin's "Once Upon a Time" is a childhood elegy for the golden age of color film, it is a childhood elegy that is framed by convulsions, fascination with bloody hormones, and interweaving of spring dreams and nightmares. David Fincher's "Mank" is a book that stands on the shoulders of giants and inherits the mantle of literati, deconstruction and structure are lingering and compounded,...

    Every year, the film powers produce biopics like this eccentric orgy of fetishes and fetishes, cramming over-loaded textual information into a loose page-by-page "biographical dictionary", and then making a top-level biographical The dubbing actors recite the full text under pressure, and at the end, it is accompanied by exquisite printing, and incidentally, a large number of detailed and perfectly reproduced landscape photos of the era are included. It claims that "you can't capture a person's...

    The despair of the old men does not bring any vitality to the world. A lifeless movie. What about the writers of Citizen Kane? I really hate Gary Outman, especially the smell he...

    When the film came up, it was announced on the word card: RKO fully delegated power to the 24-year-old genius director Orson Welles, and shot materials at will without supervision. But why? Finch did not explain. Although I personally understand this matter, as well as the rise of the Greek district to the United States and the rise of Houston with black films, they are all related to the war situation in Europe. In 1940, when Vichy came to power, France and Germany, the place where the culture...

    [B] Literally belongs to Vinci's "Hollywood Past", more accurately, it belongs to Vinci's father. In the two-line simultaneous narrative mode, Finch has achieved the ultimate "sense of form" of the film itself: directly use "flashback shots" to straighten out the timeline subtitle performance; fade-in and fade-out transitions always use fixed-point light sources The hotel is waiting for the results of the voting as a connection; a period of high-profile use of expressionist blessing montages;...

    'Mank': How 'Citizen Kane' Was Made

    Almost every review of the most classic films of all time places Citizen Kane in the top three, most of the time at the top, with praise for the film's director, producer, star and screenwriter Orson Welles, but hardly any Too many people mention co-writer Herman Mankiewicz. And Mankiewicz...

Mank quotes

  • Herman Mankiewicz: That, my friend, is the magic of the movies.

  • Herman Mankiewicz: Irving, you are the shrewdest executive in this town. Why are you acting like some dumb ward heeler? You don't need my donation. You don't need anybody's. You have everything it takes right here.

    Irving Thalberg: Meaning?

    Herman Mankiewicz: [sighs] Meaning you can make the world swear King Kong is ten stories tall and Mary Pickford a virgin at 40. Yet you can't convince starving voters that a turncoat socialist is a menace to everything Californians hold dear? You're barely trying.
