One of the greatest films of all-time

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2012)

The film follows the life of Charles Foster Kane. Kane was a newspaper tycoon who slowly over to course of his life rose to be a very powerful man. The story started when he was a kid and followed him all the way to his downfall. The story is told primarily with flashbacks and memories of Kane. The director Orson Welles edited the movie flawlessly to gather suspense. HE also was very sound on techniques used in the film industry. For example, in one of the opening scenes he shows a light and as you get closer the light remains in the exact same area based on rule of thirds. His camera shots are very captivating and direct you exactly to the place he wants you to look. His outstanding film has made the word "rosebud" a staple in American Cinema.
