Great Movie!!!!

Rating: 9/10 (7 July 1999)

I've read a lot of comments stating that Citizen Kane is an overrated movie, but I think it deserves all of the attention that it gets. I have to admit that when I first saw the movie I was a little disappointed because I had just watched AFI's top 100 and when they voted it to be the number one American movie of all times I was expecting a little more. After I watched it again a couple of months later I starting realizing the true beauty of this film. What amazes me about Citizen Kane and other "old" movies is how they got their points across without using any profanity. The scene that sticks out to me is the one at the breakfast table showing how the marriage between Kane and his first wife started out fine but the relationship got worse and worse as time moved on. Citizen Kane does not top my list as the best movie of all times but it is in my top ten. I am 23, and many people my age don't like to watch "old" movies but this is a movie that I would recommend to anyone.
