Sorry to bring this topic back up, but I got into a ridiculous discussion the other day with my film studies professor who now claims that Citizen Kane was somehow a direct influence and impetus to film noir and is somehow related in it's expressionistic advancements which I find absolutely reidiculous. I didn't even know how to engage the discussion other than to quietly role my eyes in the back of the room. We debated it for a few minutes after class, it's not the first time he's made such silly remarks.. but he asked me to explain to him my reasoning for challenging his statements at the next class. I think he initially even tried to claim that Kane was an early induction into noir. I don't even know what to say... what are your thoughts ont his if any?
