A quintessential archetype of the irreconcilable chasm between studio system’s groupthink and individual’s directorial reign in Hollywood, butchered, reshot, and then cobbled together by RKO studio, THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS, the sophomore feature film of Orson Welles, runs about a concise 88 minutes (almost an hour shorter than Welles’ original version, which is allegedly lost forever), bemoans a tampered chef d’oeuvre that should’ve matched the achievement of CITIZE
Orson Welles声称这是唯一一部它看过第二遍的自己拍的电影，也就是说这是它自己的“最爱”了。
但我并不认为这是他最好的作品， 这主要还是因为那个其实是被愚蠢的制片方硬梆梆嫁接上去的“大团圆”结局。（据说这还是原著小说的结尾！？）
在我所看过的Orson Welles的所有作品中，它是唯一一部,没有使用很多让人目眩神迷的“交叉蒙太奇”的电影，比前者更难得的是，它居然是一部以感情戏为主的电影！
细腻，温润的让人感觉快要让人认不出来是（Orson Welles的电影了）。
整部影片的（主线）基本上就是详述一个被惯坏的富家子弟大半辈子的人生（心路）历程。扮演“富家子”的Tim Holt在这部电影展现了天才般的演技，他是这部电影的灵魂！（甚至可以说，比导演本人更重要）。
The Magnificent Ambersons

If events had turned out differently, The Magnificent Ambersons, Orson Welles’ second film, might well be widely regarded as “the greatest film of all time” rather than Citizen Kane. But in Welles’ absence, RKO Studios recut the original version of the film mercilessly—Welles said it looked like it had been “edited with a lawn mower”—reducing its running time from 131 to the present 88 minutes. Nevertheless, what survives is still one of the most strikingly beautiful and technically innovative films ever to come out of Hollywood. It also tells a good story—about the decline of a once powerful and wealthy turn-of-the-century Midwestern family—with a conviction and maturity that are rare for the old Hollywood system.
