@screenwritinginla: Orson Welles was such a charming man. So articulate. Really fucked yo how Hollywood ended up shunning him in a way. But I’ve always loved this clip. Welles’s ignorance in terms of the actual craft of filmmaking is what created the magic of Citizen Kane. He sincerely thought the medium allowed for so much more than it actually did, especially at that time. The technology was so limited. But he didn’t know that. He went into it thinking “why the hell aren’t people doing more?” With that being said, it’s also his cameraman, Gregg Toland, that enabled Welles’s imagination. He never told him “no.” He always did his best to manifest what Welles wanted. And it’s that collaboration that made the film the masterpiece that it is. And it changed EVERYTHING in cinema. All because a young dude had no idea what the fuck he was doing. If only we could all adapt that mindset and let go of the fear of failure. By the way, this clip is from a great video on YouTube that I highly recommended you check out. Forty minutes that take you into the mind of Ordon Welles. It’s called “Talking Pictures: Orson Welles” ⁉️What’s your favorite classic film? #orsonwelles #citizenkane #classicfilm #oldhollywood #1940s #cinema #film #filmmaking #cinematography #directing #acting #screenwriting #art #creativity #motivation #nevergiveup
