I hate Citizen Kane. Hate. I have, at this hour, decided that there wasn't enough Marxist analysis in there. And just for good measure I chucked in some Lacan and de Saussure. And Adorno and Horckheimer, because no movie essay is complete without at least a passing reference to the Frankfurt School. HELP!
In fact, I don't think I've written about anything that actually happens in the film at all.
Oh, no, tell a lie, I used the word "rosebud." (And honestly, if that's a spoiler, never talk to me again.)
EDIT: Got rid of the Lacan. That was just going a little overboard. Just a leeetle. Have now mentioned things that ackshully happened! And I swear, this is the last re-write. This bears no resemblance to the first draft. First draft was about Stagecoach, for starters.
