Citizen Kane (1941)




[MILD SPOILERS]

What is your greatest desire? What is your purpose? These are just some of the elements of your being that Citizen Kane sets its scopes on before leaving you with the ever fleeting, 'What if?'. A powerful original soundtrack guides you  through the life of one of the wealthiest men on Earth who acquires everything he has ever wanted (or so it seems). The cinematography is exceptional for the time period. Orson Welles utilizes some very unique camera shots. Some sets were quite beautiful, there were lots of cool doors. The star door was my favorite.. Orson was a true visionary to be able to Write/Produce/Direct and star in his own vision. I feel this movie has more to be soaked up out of it by my brain in a future dunk.

7.5/10

VERDICT: ADD IT TO YOUR QUEUE!

Mister Lonely (2007)


"You can live forever! And you too! And you! And you! And you!" That's one of my favorite scenes (embedded below ;). A Michael Jackson impersonator meets a Marilyn Monroe impersonator and she invites him to come live on an impersonator commune. This must be Harmony Korines least disgusting film (That I've seen). A beautiful tale about finding who you are... or rather, who you are not. Uplifting at times, and strange... and sad. No doubt an enjoyable watch with a soundtrack to soothe a lonely soul.

7/10

VERDICT: WORTH A WATCH!
