Love how she’s trolling him at the end by reading the rival paper at the breakfast table.

Never noticed that. Genius.
This scene is so bittersweet to me because, even though its beautifully shot, it depicts the deteriorating marriage of a man who wanted love but just didn't have what it took to keep it alive. Even though I side with Emily here, I can't help feeling sorry for Charlie.
The way he says “Emily was a little nicer” then coughs weirdly, they must’ve had a little thing at dance school
The music really plays a great role in this scene. It goes from innocent and romantic-sounding to discordant and sinister.
1:57 "that's a mistake that will be corrected one of these days" One of the ever best quote ever!
He was only 25 and the makeup really sells it. Amazing.
such an exquisitely made scene, it’s so profound, so symbolic
What's great is that this montage shows the slow disintegration of a marriage over years very quickly.
Notice how as they become further apart the flowers disappear? Withering away like the relationship.
Perfect progression, just great to watch
It's amazing how Leland could describe the incidents without actually being there!
That's how you tell a story... simple as that.
Love that segment...Good exchange of contrasting ideas.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!

They shoot twice, with an overlayed Cotton against a black background used to blend with the next scene. You can use a rewind crank for old school double exposure...Iover of this film from school days

That's why this movie is considered revolutionary. Other movies have done all the techniques in this movie but not so extravagant and tied to narrative like this movie

@@malartsnyI don’t believe this is it. Welles has said that it’s done by using what he knew from stage lighting. They merely dimmed down all the lights on the background and left only the lights on the character on so that the black/dark portions go first. They did this on a lot of scenes.
Ruth Warrick... to be seen later as Phoebe Tyler in All My Children!
Genio.
Bravo

Whereabouts did Charles and Emily live here? Obviously not Xanadu, which was buit years later for his 2nd wife.

As boring and slow as this movie is to watch now. It is still an amazing masterpiece. This scene alone still makes me envious of their relationship. Now... you would have already been divorced twice or on your 4th marriage by that last scene.

@@Rodrgo1997 First off... The fact that its black and white, nor the length of the movie, is not my reason of why I said it was boring. [Actually, I didn't give the context]. Read what you are commenting on... Describing a movie and saying it bored. Doesn't actually mean the movie was boring(or somehow, boring means bad). Stop being stupid.
