《电影手册》评选出的世上最美的10部电影,你看过几部呢?
1.《公民凯恩》Citizen Kane
美国报业大亨凯恩(奥森•韦尔斯)在桑拿都庄园中留下“玫瑰花蕾”的“遗言”死去后,一位青年记者受媒体的委托调查这四个字的含义,遂即,他走访了凯恩生前的同事好友,从报社董事长伯恩斯坦的口中,了解到凯恩的发迹历程以及如何制造舆论使美国卷入1897年的战争中的往事,从利兰的讲述中,凯恩与美国总统的侄女爱米丽的婚姻、与第二任妻子(歌手)苏珊的复杂关系及在总统竞选中的失败等等也被他一一所知。
听过大量的讲述后,该记者又去图书馆查阅了有关凯恩的详尽资料,凯恩更多的一面,青年时代的经历及与母亲的关系也被他知晓,然而,“玫瑰花蕾”四字的含义,他仍不得而知。
The story is a film à clef that examines the life and legacy of Charles Foster Kane, played by Welles, a character based upon the American newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst and Welles' own life. Upon its release, Hearst prohibited mention of the film in any of his newspapers. Kane's career in the publishing world is born of idealistic social service, but gradually evolves into a ruthless pursuit of power. Narrated principally through flashbacks, the story is revealed through the research of a newsreel reporter seeking to solve the mystery of the newspaper magnate's dying word: "Rosebud."
