Wonderful American Cinema

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2014)

This is one of those historic movies that people are either raving about, or trying to bash it. This argument weighed on my mind when I first watched this film, but I found quickly that it has been praised for great reasons. Orson Welles, starring, directing, and producing, did a great job in all three roles he had. Much of this film is told through flashbacks, and goes to show the rise to prominence of Charles Foster Kane, but keys in on the mystery of Rosebud. What does it mean? The mystery will not be revealed here, you have to find out for yourself. This film was named an iconic piece of American cinema for a reason. To fully understand and appreciate it, you have to see the film. Only then can you judge and decide.
