Overall great film, especially for aspiring filmmakers.

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2013)

While attending film school I had heard many people talk about Citizen Kane as a fantastic movie. Finally, I took the time to sit down and watch it while taking notes.
Everything in this movie is planned out, and you could watch it scene by scene and break down everything that is happening and is telling the story without actually having to tell you. The use of graphic weight was well executed, from how much of the screen a character took up (showing who is in power (Tallest is usually in control of whatever situation)), to the eyelines of the characters drawing your attention to exactly where you need to look. I could go on about this movie, but sadly I left my notes at home and will have to revisit this review at a later point.
