A man that had everything, but had nothing

Rating: 8/10 (29 September 2012)

I got a chance to see this on the big screen at a theater close by, some of the audiences seemed bored by it. But this is one of the movies some people might have to ponder about after seeing it in order to know why it's a masterpiece. Before the death of Charles Foster Kane who is notorious and everyone wanted to be. He was filthy wealthy and had everything anyone could dream of. But their was more, way more behind the scenes from the public's eyes. And it gets revealed after Kane's death since reporters are trying to figure out Kane's last dying word which is Rosebud. Their is quit a bit of humanity to this movie, especially how it shows what makes Kane tick. There more to the world than money and it shows in this movie. How "where would a man be without love?" and that is the main question of this movie. "Citizen Kane" has dramatic approach to showing the messages but it's also very effective and the way it's shot in certain scenes is artistic. The camera work really shines in this and the plot is engrossing as it progresses. It's one of those movie that sticks with you and makes you think about it, even when it's over.
8.8/10
