I finally know now why Citizien Kane tops the AFI List and why the White Stripes wrote this song:
The Union Forever
It can't be love
for there is no true love
It can't be love
for there is no true love
Shure I'm C.F.K.
but you gotta love me
the cost no man can say
but you gotta love me
Well I'm sorry but I'm not
interested in gold mines,
oil wells,shipping or real estate
what would I liked to have been?
everything you hate
There is a man
a certain man
and for the poor you may be shure
that he'll do all he can
who is this one?
[who's favourite son?]
just by his action has the traction
magnets on the run
who likes to smoke?
enjoys a joke?
and wouldn't get a bit
upset if he were really broke?
with wealth and fame
he's still the same
I'll bet you five you're not alive
If you don't now his name
You said the union forever (x2)
You cried the union forever
but that was untrue girl
cause it can't be love
I can't even begin to tell you how I great I think this picture is, how much I love and adore Orson Welles and Joseph Cotten. I want to live in Xanadu and put jigsaw puzzles together in the fireplace! Even the music is genius! Why isn't this film shown in schools?

ich hätte auch gern den kane'schen kakadu. der film hat mich als kind in irgendeinem nachtprogramm erwischt und ich konnte es nicht fassen. der film war schwarzweiss, aber er musste doch aus einem fantastischen land, einer fantastischen zeit kommen, die bis dato noch nicht angebrochen war!
ps. grosse häufung von hitchcock-spionen-filmen im tv letzte woche. und ich kann stolz sagen, ich habe beide, topaz und vorhang, an ihrer optik als vom dicken meister gemacht erkannt! für nicht-cineasten wie mich recht ungewöhnlich.
