Art of Film so Far

So far i have really enjoyed art of film especially the movie Citizen Kane. Going into the movie i really didn't have high expectations, mainly because it was so old and it was black and white, but after watching it I see why a lot of movie critics have ranked it as the best movie ever made. Although i don't feel strong enough about it to rate it as the best movie of all time, I thought it was a great movie. I really liked how Orson Wells fills us in on Kane's life through flashbacks and memories of his close friends. Its a great way to learn what kind of man Kane was through all these different views. For example Bernstein sees Kane as a god while Leyland ended up hating his guts. Because Wells tells the story through these different perspectives, we get the full picture of Kane as a friend and also a husband. I hope that we watch more movies like Citizen Kane and the rest of the semester continues to go great
