Citizen Kane is not my favorite movie of all time, but it is the perfect film to show to someone who wants to understand the medium of film more than they currently do. The story of Citizen Kane is filled with fun, music, wealth, happiness, sadness, tragedy, anger, fear, hatred, but most of all, mystery. Orson Welles portrays a truly mysterious man, and only at the end do we really have a full picture of Charles Foster Kane, a fictious newspaper mogul who some say was modeled after William Randolph Hearst. I enthusiastically recommend this picture, because even though it's over 60 years old, it is still as fresh as any new film today (probably fresher), and the picture quality has been restored to near perfection on the new DVD release. Enjoy!
