groundbreaking film for its time

Rating: Null/10 (15 December 2016)

Orson Welles is one of my favorite directors of all time and Citizen Kane proves why he is such a pivotal director. First off, not only did he direct this film, but he a huge role in the film and he is just as good an actor as he was a director. This film also took film making to new heights for its time and had done some fantastic things with the camera and the studio had made some incredibly elaborate sets for welles to create a truly masterful movie. One of my favorite scenes is when Kane is making a speech simply for the fact that the set he was in was so grandiose and elaborate. I loved the style of the movie with flashbacks to Kanes life and going back to the people writing the story about him. This film seemed so ahead of its time the way it was created and in some ways still seems ahead of its time in my eyes. This film was fantastic because of Orson Welles
