The Making of Citizen Kane 

I don't know if I've ever said this, but I LOVE the name of your channel. This was a solid video, man. Definitely deserves more views. Looking forward to the next one!

Great use of RKO 281. Really underrated HBO movie, it's a shame it's so difficult to find.

Now with Mank’s release I’m especially glad you made this. Hope more people come across this one while trying to learn about Citizen Kane’s production

Watching this several years after posting, glad you have been working on this and I am making my way through your Eyebrow Cinema playlist now. As of now your latest video is from 2 months ago, and I hope you will be making more.

Was Hollywood's embrace of auteur theory a means of replacing the broader 1960s' impulse to collective action with a more egocentric model of lone genius celebrity that teed up "the me decade" of the 1970s? Just a rando thought given the proper emphasis on collaboration in this excellent video.

Welles' bread and butter was radio acting and producing and starring in live theatre. "Citizen Kane" was his first movie. A Gregg Toland misquote was: "I can teach you everything you need to know about movies in three hours." Welles wanted to use the same technical terms the DP and the lighting department would use to get exactly the shot and lighting he wanted. The real quote was: "I (Toland) can teach you what you need to know to make the movie in three hours." Over drinks, Toland taught the willing student Welles what he needed to convey in about three hours.

All Kane wanted was childhood.

This is a great video man!

Just watched the movie for the first time and this added a lot. Thank you for the video. Well done

Moviemaking is collaborative. No matter the renown of the DP (director of photography) or how auteurish the director, we are all small and great cogs in a machine that moves in the same direction.

Great video

great vid!

1:32 wow, that’s a connection

I liked this video. It gives credit to people who worked on Citizen Kane besides Orson Welles. My problem with Orson Welles is that too much of what makes Orson Welles Orson Welles is dependent on Citizen Kane.

I really enjoyed this!! You did a fantastic job young man!

Wonderful video
