The greatest Film!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (31 August 2005)

The greatest film ever, I think Citizen Kane should rank in #1 in the IMDb 250 top films ,it's very sad that people nowadays don't understand the way this film changed the world of movie making in all issues. The photography is wonderful and superior to any movie made, going ahead over 40 or 50 years ahead of it's time, by the way,in mostly all the movie,every element displayed in screen is in deep focus. According to Orson Welles,this gives the possibility and freedom to the viewer to see what he wants and not what the director dictates. The special effects are perfect,of course we're not going to see big explosions or computer made effects because in 1940 this wasn't possible, so every special effect was made by photography techniques, editing or hand made. Citizen Kane is also a display of master acting performances,and a controversial script based on the life of newspaper authority and millionaire William Randolph Hearst, reason which almost shot down the film for the audiences forever.
