Incredible family history

In this film, Orson Welles keeps changing the story scenes, carefully designing every film screen and shooting angle, so that the audience can enjoy a visual feast throughout the whole film viewing process.
Orson Welles likes to play the kind of mysterious, unpredictable and psychologically complex characters in movies. This time, he played Arkadin, who did some evil deeds to accumulate primitive wealth, and later became a rich man. He is proud of his ruthlessness as a human being, (so he often likes "Cheers to our nature!", "Cheers to money!"). But the residual moral sense in his heart made him really ashamed, so he never wanted to let his daughter know the fact that he made a fortune like this, so, with the help of the stupid Stratten, he killed one by one. All those in the know, but eventually their own daughter learned the truth of the whole truth. After learning this news, he drove the plane from the sky to the ground in a daze, and died.
You see, sometimes, "If you want people to not know, you must do it yourself." This sentence will really come true. At least in the movies.

Confidential Report quotes

  • Gregory Arkadin: I knew what I wanted. That's the difference between us. In this world there are those who give and those who ask. Those who do not care to give... those who do not dare to ask. You dared. But you were never quite sure what you were asking for.

  • Gregory Arkadin: And now I'm going to tell you about a scorpion. This scorpion wanted to cross a river, so he asked the frog to carry him. No, said the frog, no thank you. If I let you on my back you may sting me and the sting of the scorpion is death. Now, where, asked the scorpion, is the logic in that? For scorpions always try to be logical. If I sting you, you will die. I will drown. So, the frog was convinced and allowed the scorpion on his back. But, just in the middle of the river, he felt a terrible pain and realized that, after all, the scorpion had stung him. Logic! Cried the dying frog as he started under, bearing the scorpion down with him. There is no logic in this! I know, said the scorpion, but I can't help it - it's my character. Let's drink to character.
