Orson Welles brings it.

Rating: Null/10 (25 July 2003)

The oddest thing about Citizen Kane is how it doesn't seem "old" like other black and white movies with old slang, polite plot lines, and guy-gets-girl endings. Even the camera angles are surprisingly new-looking. The plot is that Citizen Kane is real rich and famous with his newspaper, praised and admired by all but has conflicts in his personal life. But the plot isnt at all important to the themes of the movie. Also, Citizen Kane doesnt strike me as a "character in a movie" in the sense that he's either A. A stereotype B. A flawless hero or C. someone who goes through a big important change in his life. He seems like a real person in a documentary. In short, I think it's was an amazing movie, more than just entertainment.
