Rosebud as monument of one's inner grieving and wishes.

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2017)

Citizen Kane is one of those films you hear about all the time, see them in various polls, TV shows, other films, in one word you know it exist but you never saw it for yourself but do not let that disappoint you. Citizen Kane is terrifying film with its revolutionary filming techniques, new method of acting, visual style, phenomenal make up and behind all of that is just simple yet powerful story of love (or lack of it to be precise). Orson Welles was just 25 when he made this film, but that was enough to cement him in cinemas history as one of its strongest titans. Although film was reviewed positive by the critics, it was commercial failure, but like all Welles films, its just like a bottle of wine. As time pass, it will be only better and better. It took years later for people and film critics to appreciate this masterpiece as without a doubt, most revolutionary film ever made. As I mentioned earlier this film is all about love and innocence, as the final world of media mogul Charles foster Kane ushered a search for their significance which led to mystery on ones life. Kane was man that had everything but in the end he had nothing only for his memories. That led us from his last word Rosebud to the end of the film where we realized that Kane become catatonic and lost after he remembered time when he had all, no materialistic, but inner riches:family and love. I don't think any word can explain a man's life.
Orson Welles, thank you!
