Don't get me wrong. I think...Thank you, Laura.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong. I think "Citizen Kane" is a great cinematic achievement as far as cinematography, editing and narrative structure go, but the film itself didn't do anything for me. It was one of the first classic (black & white) films I saw and I was actually pretty excited about it before watching it. AFI had classified it (twice!) as the greatest film of all time, so I thought, "Ok, this must be phenomenal." I was fairly interested in the beginning, but as the film progressed, I was like, "Oh my God, what have I gotten myself into?" And by the end of it, I was terribly disappointed to find that "Rosebud" was actually a sled. I mean, I do understand that the sled was supposed to be a reminder of his younger days - better days - and then when it was burned, it meant the destruction of all of that, but I don't know. I found it a bit anti-climatic, to be honest. Or maybe I just missed the whole point of it.Back to Golden Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10611559846549739163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370347388392139961.post-78403850288650235512016-07-21T09:34:56.255+01:002016-07-21T09:34:56.255+01:00This is so great!

I really enjoyed reading through this :)<br /><br />I always thought that photo of Jimmy Stewart was an outtake from "Mr Smith Goes to Washington"- you know the sequence where they have the newspapers with him making ridiculous faces. I can't remember if I read that or if I just assumed, but that's where I always thought it was from lol.<br /><br />Also a random question, what didn't you like about Citizen Kane? I'm not one of those people who consider it THE GREATEST FILM OF ALL-TIME but I really like it. Plus, putting a ban on films with Orson Welles means you get less Joseph Cotten which is a real shame ;) I love me some Joseph Cotten <3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11375421905992858875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370347388392139961.post-65466503058864649882016-07-18T22:12:45.102+01:002016-07-18T22:12:45.102+01:00I just posted my top ten John Wayne films if you n...I just posted my top ten John Wayne films if you need any more suggestions ;)Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08726532398377237606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370347388392139961.post-25567232956935252032016-07-18T13:47:18.680+01:002016-07-18T13:47:18.680+01:00I guess John Wayne is not really my type.
