“I think it’s hard to get the full impact of Kane if you weren’t around to see it when it came out. A lot of filmmaking techniques that were pioneered in CK are commonplace nowadays, so most people see it and don’t understand what the big deal is about.”
That part I get completely. But that was then; this is now. By that standard, “A Trip To The Moon” should be at the top, or very close to it.
True, but I think “Trip to the Moon” is excluded just because these lists only cover “feature” films, so they have to be over an hour long.
Speaking of “A Trip To The Moon”, Hugo, I think will one day be on the list...it’s the first movie where 3D really did add value to it.
Not quite. The innovation Wells introduced is still used today.
As dramatic a change in cinema as the three camera filming of the sitcom created by Desi Arnaz.
