The Godfather is the most complex molecule, consisting of atoms of magnificent acting, bright work of the operator, director and composer, fastened with a wonderful script. The Godfather is the very essence of the cinema, undoubtedly one of the best films of all time, the creative apogee of Ford Coppola, one of the best roles of Marlon Brando. This is a vivid example of the chemistry itself, which should occur on the set for the appearance of a masterpiece.

    Citizen Kane is considered by many to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest film of all time, and while I find the notion of labeling one movie as “the greatest film ever made” a bit overzealous, the contributions that Citizen Kane made to the film industry and the impact that it had on the audiences in its era is remarkable. Citizen Kane a substantial influence on the audience and the film industry through its use of innovative narrative style and technical cinematic elements that may not have been widely used in classic Hollywood cinema. The narrative style of Citizen Kane challenged the traditional Hollywood narrative by developing the story through the use of flashbacks and first person voice over narration from different characters throughout the movie. Each character, from Jed Leland, Kane’s “friend”, to Susan Kane, Kane’s second wife, to Jerry Thompson, the reporter looking for the meaning behind Kane’s last words, all contribute an aspect of Mr. Kane’s life in the form of a flashback.…

    Regarding the methodology, I chose this film to analyze because there is something deeper than just the surface problems of the characters. I first watched the movie when I was about 10-11 years old with my older brother, but I never really understood the significance behind it, until I was about 17. After that, I watched the film and listened to the soundtrack so many times that I did not need to take any notes on it, when it came to watching the film for the purpose of this essay. The 2005 film Rent, directed by Chris Columbus, is based on Jonathan Larson’s Broadway musical of the same name.…

    Orson Welles’ film Citizen Kane (1941) is significant in the movie world because of the innovations it made not only in technique, but also in how films were conceptualized. It planted seeds for the film noir movement that was to come, and popularized lighting, angling, and transitioning methods filmmakers still use today. But Welles’ greatest legacy in Citizen Kane lies in his ability, through casting, plot, and cinematographic choices, to paint a man whose life is corrupted and ultimately destroyed by an unwavering lust for fulfillment of the “American Dream” through fame, fortune, and power. One technique that Citizen Kane has come to be known for is the use of deep focus shots. These shots required a careful balance of lighting and composition,…
