Most people don't understand film as an artform
Garcin:
Edit: Well it's a McGuffin to the extent that it's on the one hand a prominent element of the movie, and on the other, irrelevant to the plot. The Coleridge Kubla Khan and the historical Khan are quite different. If you were to believe that the poetical Khan wasn't an apt allegorical match for Kane, than, indeed, the Coleridge link would be similar to a McGuffin. The fact that it's presented at the beginning of the movie, and repeated in obvious ways throughout (Kane/Khan, Xanadu/Xanadu) doesn't relate to the discussion at all.
With respect to you starting a thread provocatively with ideas that are mere abstractions of your own, well, luckily, flowers can grow out of shit.

Whatever, dude. You don't know the definition of a macguffin and you're more condescending than I ever sincerely am on the internet or otherwise.

Hey guys, what are your top 5 favorite silent films?
KharBevNor:
Nosferatu, Greed, Metropolis, The Big Parade, and I dunno, Birth of a Nation. Great comedy.
Dude, if you really cherish the idea of being banned you will have to try a lot harder. You're not even trolling, or if you are, its some sort of hipster abstraction of trolling. If trolling is Joy Division, you're Interpol.

You really missed an oppurtunity to have said "If trolling is My Bloody Valentine, you're Rollerskate Skinny."
It's just as bad of an analogy though.
