    Today I saw someone disparage Citizen Kane by saying something like "It's about an old guy who took over an industry. Like we need more of those stories." And I honestly DGAF if you like CK or not but this seems such a surface level, reductive way of thinking about art to me.

        I fully understand the importance of having stories that aren't about white dudes. 1000% I support this. But criticizing a movie from 1941 for focusing on a white guy seems like just cutting yourself off from what art from that period can offer.

        Like, we can have a working critique of the way Hollywood has always been racist and has always centered and glorified whiteness while also being open to the beauty or meaning of work by long-dead artists and creators working in a different era.

        Re: Citizen Kane and this particular critique, I'm reminded of a quote by Roger Ebert: “It's not what a movie is about, it's how it is about it.” CK is about the emptiness of a life lived for ambition and power. It's about SO MANY things.

        To dismiss it as just another movie about a powerful old white guy or whatever is to mistake plot for theme, meaning, significance, substance, art.

        If someone’s takedown of Citizen Kane focuses on the STORY, I have serious doubts whether they even watched the movie.

        you can trivialise almost any movie you want this way! TBF, it is a lot easier to just write off you don't like as problematic than actually sincerely engaging with media and opening yourself up to things!

        That person also missed the entire point of the movie’s mockery, that so offended its contemporary old guy inspiration that he used the power of his media empire to try to destroy it

        Most likely the movie was too complicated for people these days to grasp, they simply saw the main lead and his ambitions for more while not thinking about the underlying story behind it all. How no matter how much he had he was never happy, so he kept pushing to get more-

        - and more in the silly notion that the more he had the happier he would be but it was such a hollow pursuit. At the end of the day his true happiness wasn't in having more than he knew what to do with but in having something that no amount of money could ever buy.
