Hey guys! This video is a re-upload because the original version of this episode was no longer viewable. We’ll be posting these re-uploads every Saturday for the next few months. There are still NEW sins videos every Tuesday and Thursday!
CinemaSins hello
can you do the Giver please!
Just Dont upload nothing about it is wrong
Thank you!
Let me get this straight, you made this BEFORE Trump won?
In the spirit of having sinned one of the greatest movies of all time I'd like to once again suggest sinning The Godfather as well.
The Godfather is perfection
Every movie has a sin so I’m sure they could find 3
The only flaw in The Godfather I can think of is the missed punch when Sonny is beating up Carlo. Other than that, it’s a darn near perfect movie.
@@johnl6192 There are lot of mistakes in The Godfather. Just google it.
They already did the not sure if they took it down to make a re-upload though
My Dad's last words were "You're standing... on the... tube..."
Never found out what he meant, either.
hahahahaha!!!!!!!!
"Wait, there's no cane in Citizen Kane" -Lisa Simpson
They do have citizens in there, so that's something anyway.
7:09 the guy leading those show girls is holding a cane
There's like 50 people with canes in the movie
10:09 he was taking the quotes off by making her a singer. As in, saying he actually met a singer by giving her a career as a singer to protect his reputation.
Yes, that sin bugs me. Blinkered pedantry. Kane isn't saying he's going to change a rival newspaper's headlines.
For sin 42, Jeremy forgot that the scene wasn't set in 1941. Kane acquired The Inquirer shortly after inheriting control of his fortune around 1888 (age 25, assuming birth in 1863), and soon after he bought the Daily Inquirer. At around 1890, NYC's population was 2.7 million, so rather than 0.24% circulation in 1941, it was actually four times higher.
I always thought that the “I think it would be fun to run a newspaper” 4th wall break, was the cinematic depiction of the scorn the character had in his memoir. I picture several paragraphs being written in the characters memoir filled with disdain, with the Journalist just interpreting it as the 4th wall breaking sneer.
You removed 14 sins that must be a new record
I was just gonna say
I know for a fact he removed more for the Lego Movie and possibly Wall-E and Get Out.
Pretty sure Kingsmen still holds the record
@@tyrant-den884 actually, I believe that goes to Troll 2.
If Groot was in Citizen Kane, he would have removed all of them!
0:03
Citizen everything with wrong Kane
Big brainz
Missed end gag: Kane says his last words then Peter Griffin says "It's his sled! It was his sled from when he was a kid. There. I just saved you 2 boobless hours."
2:25 falsely regarded as a mistake: later in the movie Raymond the butler says
he was in the room when Kane said, "Rosebud." He's just not in view in the
early shot because it's from his point of view which is close enough to Kane
to hear him whisper.
"This is like me losing my transformer collection as a kid and saying, "HASBRO" on my deathbed" 😂😂😂 That made me crack up laughing and I nearly spit out my water
Charlie F. Kaine's story is one about a man who had everyone else in control of his life but him. In retaliation he tried so desperately to control others in a similar vein.
That’s like barely his name
0:32 "Viking canoes"??? You've never seen an Italian gondola before???? Good lord, man!! Did Vikings even HAVE canoes????
Knorrs and Langskips
Finally I found a comment that discusses that
@@lukabolfek4835 And the little fact that he had viking cannoes cuz he collected ALL kinds of things belonging to ANY old civilization...
This is probably the most underrated Cinemasins video ever and it's not hard to see why
I agree, it's not hard to see why this video is rated low
😂"Charles Foster Kane,the evil version of Forrest Gump"😂.Yep
It's just amazing how it was filmed and the cinematography. It's similar to how films are shot today.
Gregg Toland was the genius cinematographer who was able yo pull off that long focus of Kane playing in the snow.
I don’t think the snow globe should count, I work at Olive Garden and I’ve seen the glasses fall several feet off the rack bounce several times and then they break
Yes, perhaps the fall creates small spider cracks that eventually cause it to shatter upon the second or third bounce.
Plus, it was a soft floor.
Missed a mistake at 3:55 - no visible breath while young Kane played in the snow.
Welles disliked this shot, because it gave away that it was shot in a studio, and not outdoors.

How about singing in the rain next? Or Seven Samurai? I want more classic movie sins!
For sure. I wish they’d do a ton more classic movie sins. Sadly, they probably won’t.
One of my favorite things about this film is the depiction of the wannabe opera singer lover. In modern films, the ignorant film-goer would presume that she has a lovely voice, so the producers would force her to sing absolutely horrible, because they think the audience is stupid. In this film, she sings average, but you'd need to have some proper musical knowledge to realize that; and the only indication the uninitiated is given is from the reactions of the tech crew. She's not the worst thing ever, but she has no business being a star.
Im disappointed, there isnt enough citizens for the movie to be called citizen kane
And way tooo much Kane
@@dominickperez2952 I find this offensive to my very core mister, I hope you have a unpleasant rest of your day.
Maybe this is the story of Kane from Command and Conquer back when he was a citizen and not a leader of a worldwide terrorist cult thing.
It blows my mind the stuff you are forced to reupload. But thank you for doing it. Keep up the great work!
I'd LOVE to see you do this to "2001: A Space Odyssey". Unless you did it already. In which case, "How DARE you be so critical of a cinematic classic!"
I bet in 2019 someone on the Internet would've found records on some insanely obscure sled brand and tied the entire mystery together.
The last audio clip fuggin killed me, I love Charlie the Unicorn X3
Since we're helping film students with homework, can we do Rashomon next?
Need more older movie sins: The Thin Man, Dinner at Eight, Maltese Falcon.
mentatphilosopher have they done the Manchurian candidate?
The Maltese Falcon is flawless
Citizen Cane is considered to be one of the masterpieces of modern american cinema .
Pat Mgroin actually citizen Kane is considered classic cinema as is The Maltese Falcon
Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.
That sentence is cruel and unusual punishment.
Great video, as always.
Ending the “Greatest movie ever” with a sound bite from the greatest UA-cam video ever.
What video would that be
Personally, in spite of the sins presented in this CinemaSins video, I LOVE "Citizen Kane" anyway. It is a true cinematic classic forever. Thank you, Orson Welles!
0:34 they're venetian gondolas, not viking ships
Thank you! I just came here to say the same thing. Definitely Venetian.
good catch!
Actually, I was just watching a TopTenz video on here that refutes the whole “nobody heard him say Rosebud” claim. Apparently the butler (?), Raymond says at one point that he was there (or at least heard him). It was kind of a throw away scene, so it’s missed by many, but it is mentioned.
I am so sick of the "No one heard him say 'Rosebud'" plot hole. If you pay attention to dialog early in the film, you hear that Kane's butler was standing on the other side of the bed than the one filmed. And in the widescreen version of the film you can see the bleeding butler when the nurse walks in! Also Orson Wells himself explained that the butler was standing at the bedside of his master more than a dozen times in his later life.
Umm... Isn't the explanation that his butler was in the room and heard him say 'Rosebud'?
Love Orson Welles. Just saying. I was annoyed you were sinning the great Citizen Kane...but after I watched it you're absolutely right. -5 sins.
“What should we name our newborn son?”
“I really like Kane.”
Yeah but what about when they decided to name his brother... Undertaker...
I need Citizen Kane remade but instead of ROSEBUD. Kane says HASBRO.
Also...you haven't done the Godfather? You have to do the Godfather!
CinemaSins FINALLY touching the "untouchable" films, good for you! One Sin taken off! Ding!!
One? He removed like 8 or so sins
EnigmaOfTheEchidna I'm referring to how many I'm taking off for the deed.
Only on CinemaSins do you hear Transformers in a video about a classic movie...
But a very appropriate choice with Unicron being voiced by Kane's main man. Haha.
I can see that videos about films like Citizen Kane get fewer views but I’d love to see you sin more classic movies.
Can really tell you did this to show how much respect you have for this film in your own way
Viking canoes.... Actually canal boats from Venice, Italy
Wait, you did Citizen... Hold on you did... That movie? That movie?! You know no bounds!
And this is why I am happy to support you. Never change CinemaSins. Or, like, change when it suits
I don't know, I've learned to trust your madness!
@@LucyAdroit they, it's a team of talented people. Despite that voice me know and love.
Just to be petty and nitpicking, these "viking boats" are gondolas from Venice, if you feel like, I can also tell you which of the 21 official models they are :)
Petty and nitpicking is the theme of the channel.
Perhaps Kane isn't an actual citizen
“Merry Christmas-“
“And a happy new year.”
THAT should’ve gotten a point taken off. Second best transition EVER
Citizen Kane is so classic that cinemasins has sinned off more than any other CinemaSins I've seen
Who here watches cinemasins to see movies they never saw?
kai usernameisbetter big mood
Usually that's the case, but I've seen citizen Kane. I usually don't watch any of the super hero movies that he sinned
Me
Same. Some of these movies I haven't heard of.
It’s a real shame that you’re seeing this movie like this.
It’s a incredible movie that shouldn’t be viewed in such a negetive light like this
"Viking canoes". The, uh, gondolas?
please do Harvey
(the one from 1950 with Jimmy Stewart)
1:12 Ummm, that's proper English, if uncommon usage these days.
On top of that, it's probably a nod to the poem "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, although I say that realizing that the books don't matter.
Yeah, I can't see anything wrong with that, it's standard English. I guess the cinema sins guy is from the USA and therefore only writes in Americanese.
Thank you. And you're right, it is based on Coleridge.
News on the March immediately reminded me of March of the Times... practically identical newsreels with interesting syntax.
The Inquirer's front page is filled with articles about Kane because the Inquirer was Kane's newspaper.
This movie really makes you _feel_ like a citizen
No, The Chronicle staff didn’t all leave on the same day. Kane didn’t take the photo until he had hired away the final reporter.
everything wrong with starship troopers
Man I would love to see The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly sinned. And other greats from over time.
Seriously, Citizen Kane?? This is my #1 movie of all time. I'm old school. Loved all his movies and can still remember his commercials for Paul Masson wines!!
at 11:03 Yeah those aren't cartoon birds those are pterodactyls, they used the same props from King Kong and just shoved them in here, and hoped no one would notice. Well I noticed
PLEASE do 'The Head Hunter'
Citizen Kane is one of the best movies of all times.
Also it's boring AF
But still one of the best movies of all times.
If it’s boring af it sucks no mater how many people suck it’s dick
@@Beamer1969 It was a good movie for it's time to be fair
To each his own. I find every minute of it utterly compelling.
@@johnl6192 I think the others misinterpreted what I was trying to say. I do find it to be a beautiful movie but in a technical sense, it is, after all, a jewel of cinematography.
It earns my vote for most over-rated movie of all time.
Everything Wrong with Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse
Nothing. It's a perfect sinless movie.
R3n3gad3 it defenitly isn’t perfect
@@Person-ex4bx still great though
You miss the point entirely. The greatness of CITIZEN KANE isn't the story (it fails on its initial premise of seeing a man's life through the 'differing' perspectives of the people he touched. As non are actually very different from each other), the greatness of CK is that it amasses all the technical tricks, editorial innovations and especially all Greg Toland's innovative camera techniques into one mind blowing feature film. And because of that, it's one AMAZING film.
This video is a joke
I give 1 sin to CinemaSins for so many sins off!
The sentence is too scary -- someone at Disney might see it and think, "What a great idea!"
Do everything wrong with the godfather part 1 2 and 3 all separate videos
Or we will make you an offer you can't refuse.
I've been saying this for years.
@@Novasky2007 or they will mean nothing to me
Please do this, those are the best movies ever and would be a challenge
His offer is this: nothing.
Still one of my favorite CinemaSins videos!
Originally they revealed the meaning of Rosebud in the movie, it was Hearst's nickname for his second wife but the family threatened to sue Wells if he kept it that way so he changed it to the sled storyline.
Please state the source, because I've never heard of such a thing.
Mankowitz knew what Rosebud meant. However, that has no relation to the use of the sled as the main symbol.
Put it this way: if they got permission, I highly doubt they would've written a tale featuring such a thorough investigation only to arrive at the Pinnacle revelation, p**say.
Holy fuck, a "Charlie The Unicorn" reference in the out-takes! That's great!
Who else watches these before they see the actual movie?
Me
This is my first comment On UA-cam. I have put it off for almost a decade.
Please do Top Gun.
Top Gun is a cool Tom Cruise action movie .
@@batgurrl First off, that’s excessively mean. Second off, Lee never gave their opinion on the quality of Top Gun. They just requested that a video be made for it.
Now do a Stanley Kubrick movie!
Had to write an essay on the significance of rosebud in my English class. That was the most BS'ing I ever did in High-school.
Ironically my grandmas last words were rose bud, he loved old movies like this
wait a second, there's no cane in citizen Kane!
Everything Wrong with It’s a Wonderful Life
PikaPlayer Gaming No way
freelanceryuu Yes please.
So many sins off. Such a visionary film at the time
Exactly. I freakin can't stand how people thinks it's cool to s**t on this movie
YES i always want to see some classic cinema sins
0:35 that's not Viking canoes, that is two Venice gondolas
You guys need to do a sins vid on "KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park"!
You've all seen Friday more than Citizen Kane but this is the best movie ever?
🗣TAWK!!!
Ok, when do we get Shrek Forever After
Shrek Is God user name checks out
Do an Everything wrong with Big Trouble in Little China! I know it's an old movie but I just rewatched and could hear your voice in my head picking out Cinema Sins LOL! 😂😂😂
Can you do the breakfast club next
I was surprised how good this one was then I realized it’s 3 years old
The Godfather
Please do a sin review for that movie.
No Sins .
Moving On .
@@filimongalogavros5301 No movie is without sin!
Yes!!! Please
0:15
I think it's called "Radio Picture" because of the R in RKO (Radio-Keith-Orpheum). But then again, RKO was founded after the merge of KAO (Keith-Albee-Orpheum) and FBO (Film Booking Offices of America) under the Radio Corporation of America, better known as "RCA". The purpose of the merger was to create a market for their sound-on film technology, known as the RCA Photophone.
I saw this two days ago lol
Great times
We're going to candy mountain charlie! Haven't heard that in sooo many years, Yesss that was needed
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
I love Cinemasins,
And so do you.
সারস্বত সেনগুপ্ত why are you replying to a comment that’s a year old
সারস্বত সেনগুপ্ত how long did you scroll to find it
2:23 Best Cinema Sins observation. I could say "Jinx" at how we both said "Bullshit / Come on" at the same time. NO ONE heard him say shyt! He died alone.
It's his sled. It was his sled from when he was a kid.
There. I just saved you 2 long, boobless hours.
Proof, reconfirmed, that GIF has a hard 'g.'
When are you going to do Everything wrong with The Sound Of Music?
Nothing wrong with that one!😁
That'll piss off Seth MacFarlane.
After watching this I’m sure I lost all the IQ points I had from watching Citizen Kane.
Wow. The Simpsons version was actually heckin’ accurate!
Cinema Sins: *everything wrong with Citizen Kane*
Me: *Splish splash your opinion is trash*
If you were actually honest, an "Everything Wrong with Citizen Kane" would be five seconds long. How long does it take to say, "This is a work of art and is practically perfect in every way?"
It's not practically perfect in every way and certainly has a fair amount of sins (less than shown here though). It's great because it was the first to do a lot of things. It scores highly on sheer innovation and influence. Kind of like how Jimi Hendrix is considered the greatest guitarist of all time because of his pioneering work with distortion, effects, and mixing them with blues, rock, and psychedelia but had no where near the amount of actual talent and skill on the guitar as someone like Guthrie Govan or Steve Vai. Or how Socrates is considered one of the greatest western philosophers solely because he started a line of great Greek philosophers and not because his own philosophy (which is basically non-existent because we know almost nothing about him) was incredibly detailed and well made.
Ooh, I've gotta give you some serious props for the Unicron/Megatron voice bit!! Nicely done!
