Citizen Kane

Charles Foster Kane - Played by Orson Welles
Susan Alexander Kane - Played by Dorothy Comingore
Jedediah Leland - Played by Joseph Cotten
Mr. Bernstein - Played by Everett Sloane

The movie starts out with Mr. Kane dead on the floor holding a snow globe. Foreshadowing the events abou to unfold in the movie Citizen Kane. The whole movie is about a reporter who is serching for the meaning of Kane's dying word "Rosebud". So he interviews Mr. Kanes closset associates. Through out the interviews it shows how Mr. Kane created his successful buissness. His two failed marriages, and his rich but misserble life. But yet no one knows why his last word would be Rosebud. I really didnt care much for the movie for a couple reasons one it was in black and white, another realy weird random things, for example a eye less cockatoo shreiking. But I did show some new ideas in film making that was kind of cool. But the worst part was they built up the whole rosebud and in the end it was something REALLY POINTLESS. So I give this movie a 2 out of 6.
