So, now you've watched Citizen Kane. It's supposed to be one of the greats, you know. The authors collected in the study guide you read last night agree. Kane is a truly "great movie."
At least, that's the story.
Here's the question I put forth to you: True or false? Hm? How good is Citizen Kane? Is it really one of the best of all time? Does it still hold up today? Or has it worn out it's welcome?
To answer this question, I'd like you to address 3 perspectives:
- What was your initial, personal reaction to the movie? (Forget what I told you, and forget what you read. I just want to know, what did you think of the movie regardless of outside static the minute you saw it?)
- With what aspects of the reviews you read do you agree or disagree? (Address at least three separate ideas from the study guide. Be sure to cite them using direct quotations.)
- Upon reflection, what do you now think of the movie? (Is it a classic? Is it brilliant? Is it over rated? And why?)
I know I initially said this was due on Thursday. Let's make it Monday.
