So, after a month of letting Netflix gouge us (i.e., letting the DVD sit without watching it), we finally made ourselves sit down and try out "Citizen Kane" today. Not exactly a feel-good movie. Black and white, not a happy plotline; I mean, hello, it begins with a death. I was glad we watched it in the daytime.
But wow. It starts out slow--I was close to turning it off--but boy, does it make you think. Especially on what really matters, and the evils of money. Really well-written, and Orson Welles, holy crap, what an actor (and director, apparently).
There is no doing this movie justice by description. It must be experienced. Try it out, and remember that if you can get through the beginning, you're in for a deep experience.
Man, how was I ever in Honors English?
Oh, and I just found out that New Moon releases on DVD next month! Woo-hoo!
