A masterpiece!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2000)

This is the best movie of the century. It was original and extremely well crafted. Orson Welles was a genius. Hollywood did not like him because at the time he was a maverick. He didn't play by their rules. Citizen Kane had lighting and set design from the stage. This made the camera angles even more extraordinary. This was not common at the time. The acting by all was superb. The story technique of using flashbacks has been copied and copied. It was by far the best use of this. It is an original work. It surpasses all of Welles' later works.
