In the beginning scene of this movie we see a multimillionaire tycoon by the name of Charles Foster Kane die alone in his extravagant mansion Xanadu. When Kane passes, we see him drop what appears to be a snow globe, and one word is spoken: Rosebud. Attempting to figure out what this Rosebud means that is spoken of, many reporters tack down family and friends of Kane. The close ones tell their stories and memories to the reporters in a flashback; however, nothing of this Rosebud is ever mentioned. Never is the riddle of his dying breath reveled. The story of Charles Kane in the middle of his castle estate is a man dying while examining a scene in the center of a snowball. As he drops it, the globe smashes and just one word is spoke: Rosebud. What follows is pieces of newspaper footage showing us how Kane revealed his future, and there is a huge, unexpected ending. One that will surely prove your theory of this Rosebud to be wrong.
