Newspaper magnate, Charles Foster Kane is taken from his mother as a boy and made the ward of a rich industrialist. As a result, every well-meaning, tyrannical or self-destructive move he makes for the rest of his life appears in some way to be a reaction to that deeply wounding event.

Orson Welles was a force of nature, who just came in and wiped the slate clean. And Citizen Kane is the greatest risk-taking of all time in film. I don’t think anything had even seen anything quite like it. The photography was also unlike anything we’d seen. The odd coldness of the filmmaker towards the character reflects his own egomania and power, and yet a powerful empathy for all of them–it’s very interesting. It still holds up, and it’s still shocking. It takes storytelling and throws it up in the air.

As in movies, the only parts that matter are the beginning and the end. Consider the long slog through the middle of Citizen Kane. How often have you fast-forwarded to get to Susan Alexander's aria nearer the end? If the beginning and end are strong we'll forgive the boring stretch between.

Orsen Welles' classic fictional take on the life of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst is reportedly one of Trump's favorite films. "I think you learn in 'Kane' that maybe wealth isn't everything," Trump once said of the film in an unreleased documentary. "Because he had the wealth, but he didn't have the happiness." It's a remarkably self-aware comment, given Trump's frequent boasting of his wealth.

“John Wick 3” may be the greatest film since “Citizen Kane.” Probably not. But maybe.

And your favorite movie? It’s a cross between Network and Citizen Kane. Whenever they’re on TV, I am just totally transformed.
