De son côté, Eugene s'est marié et a eu une fille, Lucy, mais sa femme est morte. Au cours d'un bal donné par les Amberson, George rencontre Lucy et Isabel retrouve Eugene qui n'a jamais cessé de l'aimer.

“ The character of Isabel is rich, elegant and very proud. She's blond. The Character of Eugene is a veritable love of Isabel, he's attractive with the woman, but he doesn't rich. He's brown and tall. Georges is a Isabel's son. He's a nasty boy, jealous and selfish, and he doesn't want to work. He's brown hair, tall, and elegant as his mother. Lucy is Eugene's daughter. She fell in love with George. She's brown hair and very beautiful. She's soft and happy. Fanny is George's aunt. She's jealous, loving and monotonous. She's brown hair. The physical qualities of the movie are a music, that is beautiful and dramatic, the light and the black and white give at character a importance, and special effects. The objects allow a authenticity at this film, and remind the beginning of automobile's. I like this film because it is romantic, but it's long. ”

“ This film is dark because the film talks about themes like jealousy and the downhill of the Ambersons. The film is in black and white. There isn't a lot of light in the scenes. These effects create a dark atmosphere. The message is "a rich family can become poor". I don't like this film because there isn't any action in this film. I would like to ask a question to the director: "why don't you use colours ?" ”
