Union Forever?


What is that with scene that happens in the middle of The Union Forever ("There is a man a certain man..)"? It looks almost like an old film..

reply

It's a scene from the film Citizen Kane which is what Jack took the lyrics from. The whole song is made up of almost entirely quotes from the movie, and that part is a song that is sung in the movie.

You can not even begin to understand the White Stripes until you see both Citizen Kane and The Third Man - Jack LOVES Orson Welles movies - I thought every Stripes fan knew that.

I Love Azrael. The rest of you are just spectators.

I've been a stripes fan for years and never knew that. Then again, I notice that they're very private and as a hater of celebrity I usually try and make a point of not digging too much into the personal lives of public figures. Mind you. I saw Citizen in film studies in high school but never made the connection until I saw the bit in the doc.
