Citizen Kane (1941)

Director: Orson Welles

What film does Citizen Kane remind you of and why? Is your film also based on a real person or true events? If so, explain who/what. Do you think your film had a high degree of verisimilitude? Explain why or why not. Finally, google and read info about your film's preproduction, production, and/or post-production and share an interesting piece of information you learn. Take a look at the director's previous films and read about them. Why do you think they were chosen as director of your film? What about the actors? Editor? Use IMDb.com as a resource!

Your blog post should include 1) the name of the film and its year as the title, 2) a picture/poster of the film, 3) the director of the film, 4) a comparison to Citizen Kane, and 5) inclusion of a vocab word from the past week in your description/explanation/review of the film. Don't forget to put your initials in the 'Labels' section of your post!

Part of your 40-point grade also comes from leaving comments on other people's posts. Leave two comments (don't forget your initials) that include your opinion on the movie they blogged about and/or what film the one they blogged about reminds you of and why.
