After two years of film school, and many more of being a cinefile, I have finally been convinced that Citizen Kane is the best film of all time. Notice how I said film and not movie. Film is a piece of light sensitive celluloid on which images are imprinted so they can later be projected onto a screen. Movies… well movies are magic and much more than several thousand feet of celluloid; a movie is a relationship between the craftsman and his subject and between the subject and the audience. It would take ages and an awful amount of arguing to convince you that Citizen Kane is indeed the best film ever made, so instead I am going to recommend for you to go watch Slumdog Millionaire and experience some true magic.
