Review of Citizen Kane (1941) by Courtney K — 18 Jun 2016

I figured it was about time I watch this; and since the previous film I watched premiered the famous Orson Welles, it seemed like a good segue to watch this one next. again, I can see why this film is and was so popular during its time period.

a lot of movies & tv shows reference this film and the contents in it, so I kinda knew the story before I watched this anyways, which maybe dulled my opinion of it a bit -- I thought it was fine, but I don't feel particularly liberated or anything from watching it.

but again, this was released 75 years ago -- it's really quite awesome that modern film still alludes it.
