Absolutely Mind Bottling

Rating: 8/10 (2 March 2010)

Orson Welles destroys all competition in this 1941 American drama about a man who had everything in life that most people could want but he couldn't have the things that really mattered. This was based upon the life of William Randolph Hearst. In the movie, Kane spends his whole life and time demanding that people love him and what he is about, but when it comes to the most important things like giving love back the man is lost. The movie was extremely well done in the fact that it was revolutionary for it's time. Kane start's as just a simple man who believes that running a paper would be fun for him and help mend his new life. Throughout the movie, through the reporters eye's you begin to see that as time went on, Kane became hungry for power and it turned into a pursuit of love and fame in which he could give none of it back. No matter how much fortune the man had or could fork out, all anyone wanted him to show was love and he was incapable of doing so.
