Citizen Kane in 30 Seconds

[CoolMovesNow]

lol.. it's a sled, but it was a sidemouthed reference to Marion Davies' genitalia. Orson talked about regretting the usage for years until his death.

[dabble778]

Exactly. Orson has said it was a cruel joke on Marion to get at Hearst. Orson was a genius but a difficult one to work with, like a lot of geniuses I guess. He was on a roll, though: Voodoo Macbeth, War of the Worlds, Kane, then it all came crashing down...

rosebud is a symbol of his happiness as a child, before he gets rich and lone, before he left his family.

Citizen Kane in one sentence:

ROSEBUD IS JUST A FUCKING SLED.

[dabble778]

Well, yes, but also... the symbol of Kane's lost childhood, and Marion Davies' clitoris. Welles & Mank sticking it to Hearst. Good film though :-)

This was interesting - but I don't think a movie like this can be summed up in 30 seconds, but if it could - they're pretty close.

I thought it was a good movie.

Yeah ur right. You can only fully appreciate this if you have seen the full film before and recognise the scenes

Haha, I DO have an exam on it tomorrow! Thanks for the reminder about what happens :)

wow, about a year back there was a youtuber doing 10sec movies (theguywiththeglasses), he's gone, but this is also excelent
