Citizen Kane is usually regarded as one of the best movies ever, if not the best. Orson Welles directed, wrote, and starred in this 1941 masterpiece. Right from the start it is one of the most intriguing movies ever, and will have you hooked less then ten minutes into the film.Charles Foster Kane (Welles) is a millionaire tycoon who passes away, the final word he says being "rosebud." Reporters scramble to find the meaning of what the word meant. They talk to many people Kane knew and loved, showing flashbacks reminiscing his life. It shows how this man went all the way up to his fame, down to how he fell off of the earth.
There isn't much to say; this movie is one of the best ever. Whether you like it or not, it must appreciate for all it revolutionized, from out-of-sequence chronology (best example of this later on is Pulp Fiction) to its incredible shots. The supporting cast is so wonderful, especially for many of the debuts shown (including Welles' first full-length feature film). As I stated for It's a Wonderful Life, it's been analyzed and covered to death, so there isn't much to say. All that's left is I love this movie, it's easily one of my favorites, and I hope it lives on for as long as film does. It receives a perfect 4/4.
