Review
I can see why this movie was claimed the greatest movie of all time, it's because it truly is in many ways. Charles Kane has died and his last words were Rose Bud. Reporter Mr. Thomas wants to find out what or who is Rose Bud so he looks at records, talks to his friends, employees and even Kane's second wife. Through their stories we learn the life of Charlie Foster Kane his vast paper empire starting with the Inquirer and his failed political career and marriage life. He was given to a rich man by his parents so he could get a great start in life. In his adult life becomes incredible successful businessman with newspaper business. He attempts to be a governor but that doesn't work out for certain reasons. The movie is brilliant, powerful; great satirical of business people and even a lot of fun in parts. It is well directed and well acted. This is a classic that will be with us forever. I give this movie 5/5. Rated PG. TagLines
