You do realize that the sled is supposed to be symbolic, right? I always took it to symbolize the love and joy from his childhood he missed out on after he'd been taken away from his family, but I'm sure you could find one or two random film student's theses arguing it means something else. It doesn't surprise me that Howard Hughes was the basis for that character-- they're both millionaire prodigies who snapped. However, I suspect Orson Welles was too dignified to wear tissue boxes on his feet or letting his fingernails grow to grotesque lengths, so they just had him build Xanadu instead.

I think you're wrong about the interpretation.

All he really wanted was the sled.

It was the sled? Fuck it, guess I shouldn't have gotten so high while watching that crap.

Video Jukebox 6 years 10 months ago Posts: 1069	Alright, fine. Instead of watching Citizen Kane, go watch John Waters' Pink Flamingos. Any movie where a drag queen eats dog poop is an impressive movie.

2001: A Space Odyssey. It's impressive whether you're stoned or just high.
