I just watched Citizen Kane (1941)

Written Feb 18, 2020 - Reaction Paper "How did cinematography create the persona of Citizen Kane?" Cinematography's Influence on the Persona of Citizen Kane

"Citizen Kane," a 1941 film written and directed by Orson Welles, holds a special place in my heart. Having watched it for the first time in 2019, between April and July, I found myself perplexed by its early exploration of unconventional endings. The unexpected nature of the conclusion, or perhaps my own conflicting expectations, left me with a profound emotional response.

Upon revisiting the film later that year, just before December, I discovered a deep sense of sadness for the challenges Charles Kane endured throughout his life. The ending resonated with me, as I initially anticipated Charles calmly accepting Susan's departure, only to witness his outburst, which included the destruction of his surroundings, despite his advanced age. I also experienced a touch of anger towards Susan for her constant shouting, complaints, and ultimate abandonment of Charles. My heart went out to his character, who repeatedly faced failure in love, even until the film's conclusion.

The cinematographer, Gregg Toland, made a significant contribution to the film's impact. I noticed how Toland skillfully manipulated light in every shot, effectively creating a visual separation between the foreground and background, resulting in captivating and dramatic imagery. Through cinematography, the film employed various perspectives and metaphors to surprise the audience. Additionally, the camera movements and set tricks greatly enhanced the overall quality of the movie. For instance, the inclusion of ceilings in low-angle shots, a departure from the usual practice of placing microphones and equipment above the actors' heads, added an unusual but striking visual element.

The character of Charles Kane has left an indelible mark on me. Despite his negative traits, he is a hardworking, kind-hearted individual with strong principles. His indifference towards wealth, despite becoming a billionaire through his association with the bank owners, distinguishes him. While he often makes imprudent decisions, it is perhaps his flawed nature that draws me closer to his character.

Throughout the film, Charles continually mentions the mysterious word "rosebud," even until his death. To me, this represents his longing for the life he had with his parents and the memories associated with the sleigh.

Overall, "Citizen Kane" remains an enduring masterpiece, made even more impactful by the skillful cinematography of Gregg Toland. Through his techniques, the film effectively captures the multifaceted persona of Charles Kane, leaving a lasting impression on the audience.

Been obsessing on @jacob_the_carpetbagger @YouTube channel through the pandemic. In one of his roadside chats I mention my idea for a #babyrattlers pin, a roadside attraction joke. Here is my pitch, and I’ve included some of the other mainstays to his videos. Maybe I should do a channel? #youtube #carpetbagger #jacobthecarpetbagger #roadsideattractions #americana #jaws #citizenkane #snowglobes #illustration (at West Philadelphia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcOHaqfpeTP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mank (2020)

Like Citizen Kane, I was not immediately taken by Mank. Then, something clicked. Before, I wondered where things were headed. Now I couldn’t wait to see what was coming next. It’s enough to make me want to go back and watch it again to take mental note of all the little details that added up to that moment of epiphany.

In 1940, Orson Welles (Tom Burke) is given complete control for his next film project. He chooses to hire Herman J. “Mank” Mankiewicz (Gary Oldman) as the screenplay writer. As Mank struggles to complete his deadline, his secretary, Rita Alexander (Lily Collins) notices similarities between the characters in his story and William Randolph Hearst (Charles Dance).

I’m unsure how the film would play to someone who's never seen, Citizen Kane. This is a love letter to Orson Welles’ film but not in the usual way. While images, shots, black-and-white photography, and sounds evoke the 1941 classic, it isn’t trying to BE Citizen Kane by inserting stand-ins for “Rosebud”. Mank isn’t about the shooting, it’s about the writing, and the writing is based n Mank’s experiences, which would've existed whether he wrote this screenplay or not. It resembles Citizen Kane in the way it’s told non-linearly, and you can draw lines between the characters but the story stands on its own.

Ultimately, Mank is about the characters, specifically, the titular character. We don’t see his entire life but get a “complete” picture of who he is. It’s subtle. Mank always speaks in the same sharp dialogue all the way through, in a nonchalant tone that makes the brilliance of his words fly over your head. Between the scenes in the past and the present, you notice little variations that show you how much he’s changed. Most of the time, character growth is shown through drastic transformations. A failure becomes a success, an addict recovers, a boy grows up to be a man. In reality, most people change through nearly imperceptible tweaks that add up to a lot. That’s what Mank is all about.

Gary Oldman deserves much attention for his performance. Though the script is excellent and the direction by Favid Fincher stylish, it might’ve all fallen apart without him. Think about it. When was the last time a story about someone writing compelled your hands to paw through your hair out of nervousness?

I also want to direct you towards Amanda Seyfried, playing Marion Davies. They could make a spinoff just about her. It might be the hairdo or the costumes but she’s hardly recognizable.

There should be a sub-category of movies for the ones that need to be watched in pairs. Troll 2 and Best Worst Movie, The Room and The Disaster Artist, Apocalypse Now and Hearts of Darkness; movies that are fascinating on their own, elevated even higher when paired together. Mank and Citizen Kane is another in this "genre" and what a double-bill it would be! (April 28, 2021)
