Possibly the greatest movie ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2000)

Citizen Kane is so far the most admired movie by the film critics and movie makers all over the world. There are many reasons to love this masterpiece, including many technical achievements which helped the further development of cinema as well as the deep meanings behind it such as: the wealth and love can bring misery rather than happiness or how difficult it is to judge a person when we find out the reasons behind his acts as well as how can a person be mean and selfish as well as considering and generous during the different periods of his life. Don't expect to love this movie right away after the first time watching it. Citizen Kane is a movie that should be watched several times. You should read about it, you should think about the deep meanings beside it, and you should pay attention to it's unique cinematography, editing as well as it's special effects, for example the fact that the beautiful mansion in the movie was mostly paintings on glass. Also try to read about the life of the newspaper industry icon William R. Hearst in which this movie is based on. Citizen Kane for sure is among the top 10 movies of my life.
