What’s all the fucking fuss about? I mean really? Some rich kid grows up, runs a newspaper, gets richer, grows old, and dies. What’s so exciting about that?

And for fuck’s sake, has no one noticed that this shit is in black & white? At least fucking colourise it! That always looks better.

In all seriousness, greatest film ever, blah blah blah, amazingly brilliant…look stop reading this and just go fucking watch it. I learnt more about the art of filmmaking in the 119 minutes spent watching this film that collectively in my high school and tertiary studies.

They say Orson Welles never lived up to the promise he showed with Citizen Kane, but if you’ve just conquered Everest, it has to be all downhill from there.
