| Not all people want to sit and write a 5 paragraph review. MovieManiac saw the movie, loved the way it looked, and noticed the incredible influence. Therefore, he respects and loves it. What's so bad about that? And do you know why more recent films are "superior" in technology? Because they didn't have computers or any of that crap 60 years ago. I mean, you aren't upset because there aren't any lightsabers, are you? What is so wrong with appreciating "older" cinema? The fact that Orson Welles brought to life a great story with some of the best cinematography on screen is awesome. Sure, some movie watchers (notice my choice of words) may not appreciate cinema from 61 years ago, but maybe you should take a closer look. However, movie fans should appreciate what Citizen Kane did for the film industry: created surprise endings, perfected cinematography, showed some of the first controversy in film, etc. The technical merits are awesome. It just seems to me that you're wrapped up in a world of modern cinema and lightsabers to notice that Citizen Kane should be appreciated and watched. I mean, seriously... But that's just me talking. |
