The Magnificent Ambersons

Orson Welles claims it's the only self-made movie he's seen for the second time, which means it's his own "favorite".
But I don't think it's his best work, mainly because of the "happy" ending that was actually grafted on by stupid producers. (It's said to be the end of the original novel!?)
Of all the Orson Welles films I've seen, it's the only film that doesn't use a lot of dizzying "cross-montages", more so than the former. What is rare is that it is actually a movie that is mainly emotional!
Delicate, warm and almost unrecognizable (Orson Welles movie).
The whole film (the main line) is basically a detailed description of the life (mental path) of a spoiled rich boy for most of his life. Tim Holt, who played the "rich boy", showed his genius acting in this film, he is the soul of this film! (It can even be said that it is more important than the director himself).

    The fragmented plot vaguely sees the intense conflict between plot and characters.

    If you give me Wells, I fought with the evil filmmakers! More than half of the time was forcibly cut, and the whole movie basically showed people with broken limbs! Originally, I was intoxicated by Wells' elegant atmosphere Long-lens and deep-focus photography, but unfortunately, it becomes more and more confused because of the incomplete plot

The Magnificent Ambersons quotes

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

  • 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.
