Kane. It is a perfect movie. Top 10 movie in story and acting alone but also introduced so much to film techonogy. Plus i want to be Kane.

Lenses that could focus on the foreground and the background.

I agree with those who say that CK should probably win but I have to go with Leone here since a) this is my favorite movie of his and b) he's got no other movie left when faggotcentric movies like Pulp Fiction and Silence of the Lambs are still around.

well why don't you use your gimmick account to vote for Kane again?

oh wait

drizzle wrote: green peenes catching up

it really should win though, I mean, I know you know that too

only thing I'm worried about is that depending on what it goes up against next kane will get straight demolished whereas OUATIW might have a chance

i have never seen Citizen Cane...Should I stop what Im doing and go see it...?

drizzle · Post by **drizzle** » Fri May 25, 2007 3:33 pm

no kane should def win this, despite of my personal opinion objectively it is a better and more important movie than once upon....

Gonna leave this one open a while. See if Kane can pull through.

BECAUSE IT SHOULD

Yes you should. This movie is the blue print of Wall Street, Scareface (DePalma), hell any movie made after wards that has a downfall of a great man. Yes i know other similar type movies came before it but Citizen was the one that put that became the archetype. The movie is also timeless for just that reason it is a classic shakespearean story but also tells the story of Upper Crust America.

To give a brief synopsis, it is a story of a rich kid that works hard to get what he thinks he wants but misses an opportunity to get what he needs and the consequences of that mistake. This movie is the story of Ken Lay, of Michael Eisner, or any other disgraced once leader.

This movie really is that great and like i have said before this movie with out the introduction of long lenses etc is still one of the 10 best screen plays ever. The direction is a top 25 effort and it was so innovative at the time the studios never let Wells alone again he changed the game that much. Wells gave a top tier performance of all time. And he did this at the age of 24 hell today he would still be making crappy student films at that age. Hell Cane himself is a top 5 movie character of all time. He is the original Gecko, he is a deeper cat then Dark Vader or Travis Buckley. Hell in my personal opinion it was not until Michael Colene that a character was as deep.

And in all honesty, if you don't for Citizen over anything but the top tier movies like Apoclype Now, Godfather 1 or 2, Seven Sameri, Vertigo, Lawrence or other movies of that calibur you have bad taste.

Thought Kane would get a bit farther than this. Oh well.
