The cane from Citizen Kane!

This movie was a really well done drama or what ever genre it is. I do not like this genre of film. Hopefully somebody will comment and tell me what I do not like. Watching Citizen Kane was not at all painful though because it was very artistically done. The placement of the lighting was so precise that the only way it could have been better would be if Dick Cheney, Lord of Shadows, himself commanded the darkness to move about the frames. The Shadows that cover faces at times are no accident. Kane’s face gets covered whenever he starts to “turn to the dark side” for lack of a better word. The new Star Wars prequels did not even cover young Darth Vader in shadows, and they should have. The audience would have loved to see less of that actor. Kane also had a more realistic looking crowd at his campaign speech for governor than Queen Amidala had at the galactic senate. It was amazing what they did with less technology in those days. Not to go off on too much of a tangent but, Film making, rail roads and retro-videogames are examples of my view on progress “The better the technology, the less effectively we use it.” This movie embarrasses all modern film makers.
