did not unravel my classics

After watching "Citizen Kane", I had no mood swings until the moment Kane died. The narrative of the ending is so bland that one can only guess the ending. I can only add one reason that makes me think this movie is very popular, that is: "CITIZEN KANE is a movie made in 1940!"

If it was sixty-nine years ago, it might have been There are indeed many breakthroughs, different shooting techniques, narration methods, visual effects, special effects makeup (the last one is really good), a lot of reasons... But in 2009, plus people said that for decades it was " Top 10 Movies in the World", with expectation and hope, it is inevitable to be a little disappointed. Just like watching Akira Kurosawa's "Rashomon", you should definitely watch it, because it is a classic, but watching it once is enough. Maybe this comparison is unrealistic and unfair, but watching movies is like this, you can't appreciate the age too much.

    The genius does this: deep connotation, innovative film language. But this will never produce a movie that is sought after by the public. Take the car as an example. It is a concept car.

    The script of the film is really amazing, I want to read the original script. The shooting technique is also clever, and the use of depth of field shooting is very decent. My personal favorite scene is the short breakfast scene between Kane and his first wife, which lasted 9 years, and the expressions and expressions are wonderful. Undoubtedly this is a masterpiece, especially from the literary point of view that I pay most attention to.
