Review: Citizen Kane (1941)

Citizen Kane is probably the world's most famous and highly-rated film, with its many remarkable scenes and performances, cinematic and narrative techniques and experimental innovations. The film grabbed the attention of millions and pulled them into the tragic, heart warming story never told by Cinema before.


The famous line "Rosebud" opened the movie. At the beginning it may seem like this is what to movie revolves aroung but it's acually much more in depth then a simple word. You go through the live of a man names Charles Kane, played by Orson Welles, seeing how one life can affect hundreds.

The camera angles and views were very new in the time period this movie was first show, which helped the development of many films today. The actors were very in depth and well thought out, the story was complex but simple to follow and the effects of the film were pronominal.

Over all this film was really on of a kind, and it you are looking for something new you should defiantly check this out.
