Orson was born a gifted child, and apparently, had an incredibly interesting and colorful childhood. Of course, with Orson, one never knows just which stories are true!
When you get on an Orson roll, or "kick", UA-cam is there to keep the fire going. There is a book of interviews with people who worked with him from the theater to Other Side Of The Wind. I'm reading it. It puts you in the room with him, which is marvelous.
Kane was is a masterpiece. The crisp focus of the forefront & background was ingenious for its time. The camera angle from the floor was ahead of its time. The filmography ideas were ahead of its time. Orson Wells was a cinematic genius no question.
There’s a Sponge Bob episode where it turns out Bob is like an artist genius and he ends up in a squidward art class, then squidward is trying so hard to teach Bod that whatever he’s doing is incorrect because that’s not what the “manual” says and by the time he’s done with Bob all the magic is gone, Mr Wells here just proved Sponge Bob was right all along.
Seems particularly well timed, what a great interview. I haven't completely given up on Hollywood yet, apparently, nor did Orson. What is obviously wrong with Hollywood is as he says, "obvious". Though I'm afraid he would be mortified to see how dismal the times have become.
I've never watched Citizen Kane... I really need to fix that! Fascinating person, I don't think I've ever seen a clip of him being interviewed, he appears quite humble about his work.
Do watch it, if only once. Quite an adventure, even if it is in black and white. So many 'modern' folks seem to have a problem with a film that's not in color. Too old-fashioned for them. A pity, but that's their issue. Citizen Kane...truly great.
Sometimes I wonder if the reason people who are the best, most innovative creators in their chosen field say there's nothing about this profession, whatever it may be, that can't be learned in half a day, is because they are so great at what they do that to them it feels that way. Not everything comes so easy to everyone. Just a thought.
welles was a one trick pony .. but he sure knew how to milk it, i'll give him that .. the Real mastermind behind Citizen Kane was welles' Cinematographer .. Gregg Toland.
Or his other work just wasn’t as popular/maybe you personally didn’t appreciate it as much. Doesn’t mean he was “one trick”. I like a couple of his other works. It’s all subjective, my friend.
I liked the Trial... Appreciate it more than Kane which I saw as a teenager. Maybe bc I read Kafka beforehand.... I want to see more of Welles now that I caught interviews on UA-cam during covid . I originally heard of him thru an adventures in odyssey so that parodied war of the worlds broadcast
That's a very stupid thing to say. He mastered radio. His stage directing was brilliant. You think they gave him carte blanche for Kane because he had a nice voice?

Your dreams are a preview to a possible future that you've never once considered.
I'm gonna translate this into Latin and one day tattoo it on my left ass cheek

What a great creative mind. Showing us we are often only limited by our own minds.

Ok, Greg. Times up.

Inspiring
🖤
Has the full interview been uploaded anywhere?
Incredible!
Genius
What music is behind this?
good question
Rest in peace sir Orson
There's another interview or maybe part of this interview where he says, "the marketplace is the enemy of the artist."
Name of the song?
the shit he says is wild
I never heard of Orson Welles until playing Hitman 2 😅
Ahhhh... the French champagne..
Muahaaaa the French!......sorry, I had to.
You got away with extraordinary technical advances. “Simply because I know they were impossible.”
He said "simply by not knowing they were impossible". If he knew they were impossible he would not have tried them.
the phony editing is hilarious
💯 agreed. Cheap crappy fashionable
poor stuff for poor ppl...
O.Wells remains the ultra smart guy on the block. Thank god for that.😂

@@Eowynnofrohan .. the Hitchcocks are far more sophistimacated
What about The Trial, Lady from Shanghai, The Stranger, the Third Man etc? You seem like a pompous imbecile who thinks he’s an iconoclast.
