Citizen Kane

Rating: 8/10 (24 November 2014)

This film was great, the way that time was portrayed was pretty cool: using the makeup department to tell us how old Kane was becoming and also what was happening. In the opening scene we see Kane, an old man in bed saying his final words, then we're brought to the past, a childhood memory of Kane with his "Rosebud." Flashbacks was one of the most important tools in this film. Throughout the film we're brought from one point in time to another, each scene holding some type of significance. The way in which the cinematography carried out each scene was incredible. This film was sad in a way. We're giving this character (round character), a man who wants to be successful and a man who wants to be loved by everyone. He doesn't realize that he doesn't need love from many to be happy because he already had it from is second wife...or is it his third? I'm not certain but in the end its terrible, he suffers.
