Anyone who didnt like this film....open your eyes and looks again

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2002)

never have i been so excited before and after a film. i never ever allow myself to be dragged into hype, but it happens when you hear things about a certain movie and then it lets you down. but then theres a movie that goes beyond what you expected, better than you couldve hoped and you wet yourself on what you done.
there has only ever been ONE other film that ive watched that when it finished i started it all over again and that was fight club, but that was me just trying to clear some things up. but kane, i got swept into the story and smashed away by the script, i had to go back for another go, ive seen it more than 20 times now and everytime it seems to get shorter. i guess its true tie flies by when your having fun.
the film is so perfect in everyway, script, direction, acting and sound. oh god the sound; its brilliant. i cant think of another movie that can ever hope to replicate this movie in its sheer design and yet i cant think of one movie that hasnt been influenced by it somehow.
think of the usual suspects, where through a series of flashbacks you try to uncover who kyzer soze is, well its the same thing here, the movie starts off with a man dying on his bed with his last words being rosebud, in an attempt to write something unique from other newspapers the inquirer sends out a reporter to find out what was meant by his dying words; 'rosebud'. and through this we have the reporter uncovering the most intimate details of the life of Charles Foster Kane, from his childhood to his death.
this IS one of the greatest films of all time and no matter what anyones review is, i challenge anyone to tell me they didnt enjoy it. this is a rare treat in cinema and one that is getting rarer ever since.
