“#Citizen Kane Rotten Tomatoes Score No Longer Perfect \u2013 \/Film<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\"Citizen<\/a><\/p>\n

Citizen Kane<\/em><\/strong>, perhaps best known as the movie that inspired\u00a0Mank<\/em>,\u00a0is regarded by many as the best movie ever made, and for a while there, its Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> score reflected that. The\u00a0Orson Welles<\/strong> classic based loosely on the life of\u00a0William Randolph Hearst was sitting at 100% on the review aggregation\u00a0website, and it seemed like that would never change. But just recently, a negative review from critic\u00a0Mae Tinee was uploaded, knocking the film down to 99%. And here\u2019s the kicker: Tinee\u2019s review was written 80 years ago. Oh, also: Tinee isn\u2019t a real person, but a collective pseudonym once used for the\u00a0Chicago Tribune<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Released in 1941,\u00a0Citizen Kane<\/em> is the story of\u00a0Charles Foster Kane, an obscenely wealthy news<\/a>paper publisher who dies uttering the mystery word \u201cRosebud.\u201d After Kane\u2019s death, a reporter tries to solve the mystery of Rosebud and pieces together Kane\u2019s life story in the process. The film is often heralded as a masterpiece, and that\u2019s because it is. Sure, some snobby nerd will come along now and then and say the film is \u201cboring,\u201d but trust me, they don\u2019t know what the hell they\u2019re talking about.
\nUp until recently, Citizen Kane<\/em>\u2018s acclaim was reflected via a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score. But in March of 2021, that changed when a negative review \u2013 written in 1941 \u2013 was uploaded to the review aggregation site. Now,\u00a0this should go without saying, but a movie\u2019s Rotten Tomatoes score doesn\u2019t change anything. And moving from 100% to 99% on Rotten Tomatoes is certainly no big deal. But from a purely comedic standpoint, you have to admit it\u2019s pretty damn funny that an 80-year-old review suddenly bumped down\u00a0Citizen Kane<\/em>\u2018s perfect score. It\u2019s doubly amusing that we don\u2019t even know who wrote the review since the credited author \u2013 Mae Tinee \u2013 is a pseudonym that the\u00a0Chicago Tribune<\/em> used back in the day.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s interesting,\u201d the excerpt from the review starts off, which isn\u2019t so bad. But then, it continues: \u201cIt\u2019s different. In fact, it\u2019s bizarre enough to become a museum piece. But its sacrifice of simplicity to eccentricity robs it of distinction and general<\/a> entertainment.\u201d You can read the review here<\/a>. My favorite part of the whole thing is that the author keeps referring to the main character as Citizen Kane, over and over again (\u201cCitizen Kane wants to be a publisher\u2026\u201d; \u201cCitizen Kane\u00a0inherited houses and lands and mines and what have you,\u201d etc.).<\/p>\n

While we\u2019re on this subject it\u2019s worth noting that\u00a0Citizen Kane<\/em> wasn\u2019t exactly beloved when it opened in 1941, and it would not be until the 1950s before reapp<\/a>raisals and re-evaluations came around to recognizing its brilliance. So this negative review from the fictional Mae Tinee wasn\u2019t an outlier \u2013 it\u2019s just that Rotten Tomatoes wasn\u2019t around at the time to upload any more negative reviews. Still, there\u2019s a darkly comedic undertone to all of this: even in death, Orson Welles remains underestimated and misunderstood.<\/p>\n
