When I was a young and foolish man I baulked at the ancient opening of Citizen Kane and gave up watching within the first 3 minutes, over the years the drone of how great this film was never died around me. So finally I took the plunge one day and sat through it again strapped to my chair, hoping not to be dissappointed at some ancient relic claiming status it doesn't rightfully deserve.

However it was turned into a shocking revelation that such a film was made in the 40s.

I don't know what appeals to me more, the technical achievements in camera shots and set up or the convoluted plot following the last utterance of a man the viewer tries to understand from the perspectives and narratives of many people.

i was going to post "breakfast montage"...

Man - I was just about to post some Kane!

Check out the original theatrical trailer - like the movie it's ahead of its time:

And the classic - News on the March:

That's a great final line. I have watched the film and didn't like it but that was years ago. Time to try again.
