Understandably The Best

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2011)

Now, I can understand why Orson Welles and Citizen Kane gets so much praise. Citizen Kane is immediately engaging beginning with Kane's death. Welles tells the story of Kane through an unconventional and innovative narrative that flows easily as Kane's story unfolds. Citizen Kane is clearly one of the most praised films due to Welles himself. Aside from the amazing script, Welles is a very talented actor. Welles is completely believable as Kane at 25 as he is at 80. Welles is also responsible for an innovative and inspiring directorial effort. Each scene is beautiful and the camera movements are very fluid.
Citizen Kane has at least a thousand amazing little things that make the film what it is. I would highly recommend this film to anyone.
