Orson Welles' second film, adapted from Booth Tarkington's novel of the same name, depicts the rise and fall of the Amberson family, and involves the actor intervening between the mother and son of the Amberson family. A series of love-hate stories as the main axis. This "shattered masterpiece" still holds a strong place in film history and in Wells' work, and is widely regarded as a "quasi-masterpiece" second only to Citizen...

Orson Welles' second work, because it was deprived of the final editing right by RKO, only the 88-minute version is left. However, I thought that the version that I can see now is not a big problem. It is a little blank, confusing and broken. Without detracting from its poignant beauty, it is more in line with the decline of the family presented in the film-no matter how grand the splendor is, it is only fleeting in the end, leaving only fragments of history left in the world. The decline and...

A/88 minute edition. However, this incomplete version has instead made the interaction of the characters in each scene more vividly and sharply portrayed. The reliefs are delicately displayed, but they are pieced together without breaking or even adding radiance to each other. After experiencing the ups and downs of several emotional waves, the audience seems to be able to completely resonate with the characters in those murmured close-ups and superpositions. Why is Orson Welles still so Orson...

Oedipus' little boy doesn't need love. The beginning was really good "all the women in town knew each other back then, and every family knew each other's carriages" The women wore necklaces and bracelets, the men wore hats of all kinds, and their trousers must never be wrinkled, and they had time anyway. The second half of the process was cut off and on, and it was as fast as this industrial revolution, rushing time to throw Abeson's glory and mansion into a bygone...

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...

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 Magnificent Ambersons quotes

Eugene: I know what your son is to you and it frightens me. Let me explain a little. I don't think he'll change. At twenty-one or twenty-two, so many things appear solid and permanent and terrible. Which forty sees are nothing but disappearing miasma. Forty can't tell twenty about this. Twenty can find out only by getting to be forty.

Lucy: Don't you remember? We'd had a quarrel and we didn't speak to each other all the way home from a long, long drive. And since we couldn't play together like good children, of course, it was plain we oughtn't of play at all.
George: Play?
Lucy: What I mean is, we've come to the point where it was time to quite playing. Well, what we were playing.
George: That being love, as you mean, don't you?
Lucy: Something like that. It was absurd.
