In Reply to: If one word could describe this film it would be GENIUS. posted by Audiophilander on October 02, 2001 at 09:13:48:
Always with you it's a problem with America isn't it? Ya know why they say travel is broadening? If one goes to the UK or to almost any South American country one will find a *far greater* interest in such matters evinced in the press and on television.It's like bad driving and the weather: Everywhere you go people will say it's worse there.
In the above discourse the word "humanity's" serves far better than "America's" but that would depoliticize the criticism.

The youthful Welles, himself a man of the world, depicted Kane as the epitome of American excess. Universal themes are certainly present, but this film is more about lost innocence as a by-product of instant wealth than it is about symbolism on a global scale.

What does that have to do with Citizen Kane? This movie is investigates the life of an American icon as seen through the eyes of other Americans. Are you sure that you didn't pick up a mislabled Fellini flick by mistake? ;^)
