Still relevant today

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2003)

The greatness of this movie is that its social commentary continues to live today.
Per one News Media conglomerate.
The media can construct a war, justify it, sell it for ratings and whip people into a war frenzy. Meanwhile the upper 1% who live in Xanadu profit. As someone else here stated "William Randolph Hurst is long forgotten, but this movie still stands as an artistic landmark, an island in a sea of mediocre movies of its time". It just shows how commonly easy it is to bend a mind. A must see, like a must read book such as 1984, Fahrenheit 451. The strongest point of this movie is in Kane's bias against other aristocrats and most notably his self-destructive tendencies that we all share. Great story. Justifiably the best movie of all time.
