Citizen Kane . . . not so sure. Rating $$$
Ok, so I finally watched the classic "Citizen Kane" and I'm not sure I totally got it. However, I'm sure at the time it was made it was revolutionary. Problem is, that's not the time we live in and most everything in film has been improved upon over the past 30 years. Not to say I didn't enjoy it, but I think this is part of the reason that classic films don't always translate to younger generations. What was once an unthinkable accomplishment is now accomplished with a digital camera. I totally recognize the achievement that Welles made by doing the picture. Though I think every time it's shown it should be preceded by an explanation of why the film was so revolutionary. No matter what, you should see this film if you're a filmattic like me. Remember, Welles was only 25 years old when he wrote, starred, and directed. MM$
