Of course, though, with me being
completely lazy, I really didn't want to get off of my ass and drive
five minutes to the video store. So then I thought, “Why not just
watch it illegally online?” Unfortunately, though, watching movies
illegally online is not as easy as everyone probably says. I couldn't
find any sites that weren't blocked on my computer to watch the
movie, but I did find one that kept playing these Chinese videos and
I started to feel fuzzy after a while and suspected brainwash, so I
gave up on my search to find Citizen Kane on the interwebs.
I've already gone through all of the
movies in my house, and although we have a lot, I just didn't think I
could pull out four hundred words for any of them. I guess I could go
back down to my basement and look again, but that would require me
getting up, and...no. Just no.
From what I've seen of short clips on
Youtube of the 1941 film, it would definitely be classified as an
oldie but goodie. I mean, movies back then were in black in white,
the shots crowded, and the sound off. For someone born over half a
century after the film was released, I can't really talk about how
old the movie seems; it's a given. But hopefully soon I can find the
time and energy to rent Citizen Kane.
My mom always talks to me about culturing myself and watching old
movies is the easiest way I can think of doing that. So yeah. Fin.
