A great film

Rating: 7/10 (31 January 2002)

Citizen Kane isn't just some ordinary film. Produced and directed in the 1940's, Citizen Kane can very well be considered one of the greatest films ever made. The film begins with the appearance of being a search for `rosebud', but ends up following one man's life through his triumphs and tribulations. Each flashback and memoir adds another dimension to Kane's developing character. At times, the audience cheers for the underdog, while at others, one can't help but wonder how a man could be so stubborn. Overall, this depressing but complex movie is amazingly directed. The acting is excellent, and the plot moves along smoothly. One must come without any expectations, in order to get the most out of this movie. Who knows? Citizen Kane may very well convince even the most skeptical audience of its brilliance.
