Citizen Kane is as many have said, one of the greatest movies of all time.
At the begining the movie starts out very elusive. Panning up the front gate to the cast iorn 'K' at the top. Them slowly aproching the dark castle, but on the way passing an empty cage labeled lions with a pair of monkeys sitting atop it. Beyond that a gondola, and through a golf course, a mote and draw bridge, and finaly up to the single lit window in the highest tower of the castle only to have the light diminish.
At the time of its release Citizen Kane was a revolutionary film. The camara technieque of fading from one chene to another. And still today it is a great movie. The movie Citizen Kane is unique in such a way that there is no other movie like it. It begins at the end of Kane's life. Kane's life story is told in parts by many people, from many diffrent pionts of veiw. From the uptite banker that took him in as a boy, and his best friend (if he had any), to his second wife.
The movie fallows a reporter that is searching for one thing and one thing only,Kane's dying word; 'Rosebud'. The reporter learns Kane's life story and gleans from it nothing that can help him discover the meaning of 'Rosebud', though its meaning is revealed to the audience at the end, and the movie comes together and what realy mattered to to Kane is told. And as it turns out Kane's happiest days were as a boy with his folks.
