Rosebud

Rating: 10/10 (6 September 2005)

"...if I hadn't been really rich, I might've been a really great man." - Charles Foster Kane.
I think that pretty much sums up Rosebud, at least to me.
Another interesting thing in the movie, apart from the story is at the beginning when Kane enters the Inquirer for the first time, Jedediah twirls around one of the office pillars. When the newspaper takes off, their celebration includes Kane, along with about a dozen dancing girls, doing the exact same thing. It could be nothing, but the reason I noticed it was because it seemed kind of odd the way Jed did it. He moves past the pillar, then goes back and spins around it. Strange... There is no denying, however, Welles' genius, A great film, deserving of it's No.1 of all time status.
