Great film

Rating: 9/10 (10 May 2011)

I've seen Citizen Kane a few times now and it seems to get better every time. I always notice a few new things. The plot is very interesting and I find that the way it is told with flashbacks makes his life story easy to comprehend. It was cool to see how all of the different people throughout the story remembered him. Welles' use of lighting in Citizen Kane is unmatched by any movie I have seen. The lighting along with the use of creative and dramatic angles puts this movie in a category of it's own. I liked the story in the sense that Kane was able to go from a poor family to running a news paper it gives you the feeling that anything is possible. This movie is worth watching multiple times because each time you appreciate the cleverness of Welles' directing even more.
