----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Hello Folks, I'm new to this list and was wondering if anyone could answer a question for me. In my High School Film Appreciation class (Please no comments!) we watched Citizen Kane and enjoyed it very much. However when it came to analyzing the film, we were off target a little bit (As teenagers often are). Anyway, one particular scene in the film (Where Kane walks in front of a line up of mirrors, before his famous death scene) we completely missed. Our teacher was so insenced that we couldn't dissect the symbolism, that she refused to tell us what it meant and gave us all "C's" for the class. I took a wild guess and suggested that Kane was simply "an incomplete man" being his life was centered around money, and the mirrors reflected his fragmentation and his narcisicism. She said I was wrong. So now, here I am 10 years later still trying to figure it out! I like to think that I'm pretty good about analysis, however this one has stumped me for years. If anyone has an answer please tell me. I'm not that big a fan of the film (Yes, I know, slap my face!) so I really haven't the need to watch it over and over again. So please, if anyone can help...what gives??? Al Scudiero [log in to unmask]
