Citizen Kane - A Flop?

Rating: 2/10 (18 April 2005)

"Rosebud." Charles Kane's last words. The whole movie focuses on finding out why Kane's last word was "Rosebud." If you're into the flashback and mystery movie, it's for you. I disliked this movie because it is very hard to get into. I personally did not like this movie because I would get confused with who everyone was and when it was happening. One second he was a little boy and the next he was a grown man dealing with newspaper troubles. You learn all the mistakes he has made and how he grew up. He struggled with building his newspaper empire and keeping his affairs under wraps. The movie goes back through all of the most important events in Kane's life, like when he was adopted, building his newspaper empire and through his marriage. The movie was released in 1941. I didn't like the how the scenes and dialogue flowed. I also didn't like how the camera angles where and the actor choice. If you are into all the new advancements, like those, this movie is not for you. If you like the black and white, flashback, and boring movie, Citizen Kane is for you. I would rate the movie and 1 ½ out of five stars.
