        It's an American thing... Bergman should have his own thread. With lots of Liv Ullman (sp?) pics.

          Well, it's true that nothing warms the heart and uplifts the soul quite like the history of the communications industry. I was on the edge of my seat cheering for Mr. Kane's circulation numbers at one point. Ultimately, though, it's a flawed film.

            How so? Not enough FX? No spectacular car chases?

              No, it's the whole "main character is a pompous ******* who gets exactly what he deserves but isn't quite unpleasant enough for it to be entertaining in a vindictive way" thing.

                Well, all I can say is "Rosebud"... Maybe you should watch it again.

                    Yes, I know, he yearns for his childhood innocence, blah blah blah. He has plenty of opportunities to realize that wealth does not make you invincible, immortal or omnipotent, but he ignores them all and chooses to waste time and money stroking his ego for decades. Tragic heroes are traditionally victims of circumstance and of isolated character flaws. Everything that happens to Kane is pretty much entirely his fault. He's one gigantic character flaw, and I can't think of any redeeming traits he has that aren't poisoned by his monstrous egotism.

                      Which is the whole point of the movie...

                      BTW, R.I.P. Bill Walsh as well, if we can include him as well into the title (he's far more important than the other two IMO)...

                        Yes, and don't forget Asher.

                              Tom Snyder's not dead as long as Dan Ackroyd still lives. (Though, in truth, I thought he'd died some time ago.

                              But Bergman...Bergman's a true loss. Not that he didn't have a full, amazing, productive life -- but still a loss. RIP Ingmar; you're one of the geniuses who taught me to love film. Say "hi" to Welles, Fellini, Altman and Kubrick when you see them.

                                What, that he's a complete egotistical scumwad? I assume you're a big fan, then.
