In Episode 3 of Hospitable Imaginations, Christopher takes a look at three films that not only open with a bang, but they do so without the use of a single word. Citizen Kane, directed by Orson Welles, 2001: A Space Odyssey, directed by Stanley Kubrick, and Gladiator, directed by Ridley Scott, give us a glimpse of how great stories can have impeccable openings with nary a word--and these openings are all-time greats.
