Beautifully directed, amazingly acted and spectacularly lighted! An amazing(ly boring) story!

Rating: 6/10 (25 February 2006)

I do not care if it was beautifully directed, amazingly acted and spectacularly lighted! All this stuff is important in a film, but every film still needs a plot! OK, so Citizen Kane did have a plot but I'm talking about an interesting plot! I hate to say this, but I DID NOT CARE WHAT ROSEBUD WAS!!! I was bored from basically the first 30 seconds! SPOILER: And at the end: Oh wow. It's his sled. Don't tell me I don't get it, because I do. He's saying that the only time he was happy was when he was a kid. But...I just...don't care.
I do admit this movie was not terrible. It had some beautiful parts that showed Orson Wells can use a camera, but you still need to have an interesting plot to have a good movie. I'm not saying you need action to have a good movie, but you do need stuff to happen! The entire movie was just them going to random people asking them what rosebud meant.
