FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda In March the film will be shown during the San Luis Obispo international film festival, which is being held there. Guests at the festival will include Harrison Ford.
Steve Hearst, the late newspaper baron’s great-grandson gave his backing to the screening, saying it was time for an “informed” assessment of “Citizen Kane.”
Mr Hearst said: “Citizen Kane is a classic American film, but is in no way a historically accurate depiction of William Randolph Hearst or his favourite place in the world, his ranch.
“Citizen Kane is not a documentary. Orson Welles intended it as a sketch of Hearst’s life, drawn with considerable artistic licence.”
Mr Hearst pointed out that “Xanadu” was depicted by Welles as a “dark and brooding fictional fortress filled with meaningless junk” but the real Hearst Castle had always been “lively.”
During his lifetime William Randolph Hearst particularly objected to the film’s character Susan Alexander, an alcholic failed opera singer, who was taken by many to be based on his real life companion Marion Davies. Welles himself later wrote that Davies, a successful actress, was not the basis for the character.
Steve Hearst said: “This remarkable film paints a portrait of two masters of the media, William Randolph Hearst and Orson Welles himself. We can enjoy it just as fully as a work of artistic fiction, not fact.”
