Citizen Kane is about a man who is rich from a very young age. With this money comes the responsibility of spending it wisely and making the right choices. When he is just a small boy he is taken from his parents to be raised by someone who can manage his money. He is not allowed to touch this money till he becomes an adult. With this, he grows up with out any proper love and spends his whole life searching for it. When he dies he say his famous last word of Rosebud and everyone wants to know what it means. "Rosebud" is the mystery of the whole movie with a reporter searching into Kane's previous life to figure it out.
Although Citizen Kane is titled to be one of America's greatest films. My thought on that title is that maybe for its time it was one of America's greatest films but it is not any more. Citizen Kane is good for a classic but I would not watch it unless I had to. I guess if you wanted to watch a classic this would be a good one to start with because it does have some technological advancements for its time. The one scene that really sticks out in my mind is a scene where Kane is walking in front of a mirror and you see his reflections continue because there is a mirror on both sides of him. This truly shows how lonely he is and really gives emotion to the scene.
My complete rating for this movie is decent. I didn't really care for it but it is a classic and to truly call yourself a movie expert you have to watch them. I rate this movie 5 out of 10 lonely Charles Foster Kanes.
