Terrific film, confused reviews.

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2016)

Orson Welles breakthrough hit had me in awe of the fantastic job the crew had done in all aspects. The cinematography was beautiful, kudos to Gregg Toland. There was focus on the intricate settings, but also on the emotional expressions of each character, connecting their feelings with the love they have for the deceased Kane. The camera panned, shaped, and angled so that it felt like we were on those stairs when he shouted at Getty's, it felt like we were there when the results of the election came in as well. Another great aspect were the players, introducing stars that became well known to the public after the movie was put on the big screen. There was focus, depth, and a great story that made this film a brilliant success.
