Citizen Kane Non-Linear Movies

I think the non-linear structure of Citizen Kane makes the movie more interesting, and it allows the audience and viewers to see the different perspectives and opinions of Kane from the people that surrounded him. The fact that the movie went back and forth through time and his life, made it kind of confusing and hard to follow at times, but all together the movie was easy to follow and understand.

I don't agree with the statement that Citizen Kane is the greatest movie of all time, because of the advancements in technology and knowledge that has been put into movies now. Citizen Kane was a really good movie for it's time, but I think many other movies are just as good or even better.

Freaks and Geeks Reflection

My favorite episode that we have watched so far is the episode called, "Kim Kelly is my Friend." I liked it because it showed a different side to all the characters that we haven't seen in the previous episodes. We didn't see a different side to Sam and his friends though, because the focus of the episode was more on Lindsay and her friends. Nick and Kim Kelly were kind of the focus of the episode, and they both did good performances. I also liked how Sam and Kim sort of made peace, because Lindsay and Kim bonded over Kim's family and boyfriend problems.
