Title: Citizen Kane: Spoon Feeding "Brilliance" to Americans.
Review: Yes, how bourgeiosie to love this film! "BAAAH," says a gullible American public. It is probably otiose to recommend, in reviews or in conversation, a film that is a classic, especially one so waywardly eccentric as this one. It is true that a taste for Citizen Kane must be acquired and that a comparative few will find it worth acquiring.The American Film Institute made this film the #1 film of all time. Why? An incestuous and sychophantic group of directors, screenwriters, actors, actresses, and producers, a largely insulated and undereducated lot, have perpetuated a myth of "brilliance" around this film. Given the high expectations around the film, it necessarily must attain a higher status than would otherwise be expected.
Is the review positive or negative?
