Charles Foster Kane. What an amazing name...

Rating: 9/10 (15 October 2007)

I confess that I didn't know anything about the film except for it's name before I had watched it. But I wasn't regretful to watch it and spend two hours. The film basically explains a man's life who had to leave his family with their wishes.
Think a man. He is promised to take over big companies after an age and he chooses just a newspaper that's name is "Inquirer". Starting as an unknown newspaper, its' circulation reaches the summit between USA newspapers thanks to Kane's amazing applications which especially concern labour unions. This makes Kane happy but this happiness doesn't continue for a long time. He gets married with the President's niece and most people believe Kane is intended to be the future's President but on the contrary he criticize politicians and even the President. This marriage finally comes to end at an interesting moment. This point is that his ex-wife doesn't support him against a blackmail of an immoral politician and thereupon Kane divorces her and gets married with a bad-voiced singer. He works to make her famous but it doesn't work and this marriages comes to the end, too. While all thoses happening, he also loses his best friend Mr Leland with a dramatic fact. Upon sacking him, Mr Leland sends him Inquirer's principles which had been noted by Kane and hidden by Leland.
After this huge paragraph, I'd like to note especially that Kane is addicted to live lonely along his life whether it is in his power or not. Also it's very attractive to achieve displaying a media boss' life.
...and of course Rosebud. Rosebud is a code that represents the childhood of Kane.
Citizen Kane should certainly be watched by the fans of ancient time films.
