Most lists have Orson Welles' Citizen Kane as the #1 movie of all time. When asked the greatest movie of all time, directors, producers, actors, key grips and caterers will answer in locked goose-step unison, "Citizen Kane!"Well, that many folks couldn't be wrong, could they? So about three years ago I rented Citizen Kane. At no charge, here's my review of CK:
STUPID!
It could be I'm a knuckle-dragger and that I don't have an erudite understanding of film nuance. But then there's Rosebud. Stupidia maxima.
I came across another film list recently. At the top of the list? CK.
Could one of you please explain to me the greatness of Citizen Kane? It's kind of like a joke or a puzzle. I want to understand. I want to get it. This one has me as baffled as much as a Jackson Pollock masterpiece.
I may have to go to my grave stumped by Orson Welles.
