Great film.
-
@evildead167 you're about that ! The melodramatic ending IS the only part that shouldn't be in this movie!!!

i hope some copies of the film were stolen and lost before they were destroyed by RKO and one day they will be re - discovered!

I shivered... a brilliant scene.

Good point about this being sort of autobiographical for Welles. Also, both this and Kane have to do with "great" men (great in their own eyes, that is) being laid low.
I've seen both Kane and Ambersons fairly recently and do think the latter has so much more to offer. Kane is so exuberant. I love how you can just tell Welles had great fun with all the special shots and tricks. But Ambersons, ah, it's a masterpiece from a mature artist.

Topwood: Well, it's been quite awhile since I've seen Kane in full so I can't really say about that at the moment.
I've read people who've said that George somewhat reflect's Welles' background so it's very possible he saw this as a sort of autobiographical.

I'm so glad you got to see this. I find it gets even better with repeated viewings.
Kane seems hollow at its core, with the medium (all the tricks and flourishes) being more important than the message. But in Ambersons, everything is there only to further the message. Its very economy adds to its quiet lyricism.
Welles must have been very much in love with his subject to restrain himself so masterfully.

The current "massacred" version is still a great movie. I highly recommend seeing it. One of the greatest 90 minute films out there.
The melodramatic ending is the only part that doesn't work for me.

@idealforcleaning Gee, that's interesting. If only there was some sort of interest somewhere to see your father's extended cut of Ambersons, then we could all watch it and be delighted by it's subtle, lyrical beauty. If only.
