Citizen Kane
Rating: PG Run Time: 1 hour and 59 minutes
I recently decide to
watch the classic movie, Citizen Kane, because there are many claims that it is
the greatest film of all time. The most basic summary that I can give this
movie is Orson Welles’ character, Charles Kane, has died and his last words
were rosebud. A swarm of reporters attempt to piece together the life of the
Mr. Kane, in order, to find out the meaning rosebud. The movie is told through
flashback by people that Kane had encounter during the rise and fall of his
lifetime.
Pro: The performance given by Orson
Wells as Kane was well acted and believable. The makeup work done to Orson
Wells to make him look like his is aging makes the aging look fantastic. The set
designs used in the making of the movie are done perfectly. They illustrate the
life Kane lived.
Con: Ruth Warrick, the actress who
played Emily, was very monotone and serious. Although I understand the serious
appearance the character has, it caused the scenes that include her to be
boring and dull. The ending for me was a bit of a letdown but I understand why
the director left it like that.
Overall: Citizen Kane, in my opinion, is not the number one film of all time, but
all in all, it is a great film. Even though I think it’s not number one, I’m
sure during 1941, when the film came out, it topped at number one. The most
amazing thing about this film is that many films and TV shows have references
the movie. I do recommend this movie because after 74 years that movie is holds
up very well.
