Citizen Kane

  Citizen Kane an American drama in my view was an overall good movie so I give give it 4 stars out 5. It is a okay movie not a huge fan mostly because of the plot just a crew of people trying to figure out what his dying word Rosebud and in the search they find out about his life wich isn't the most exciting thing to watch.
            This movie Citizen Kane from 1941 directed by and starring Orson Welles as Charles Foster Kane the owner of the largest news media in the country. the movie opens with Charles on his death bed and his dying word Rosebud and a news crew sets out on a journey to discover the meaning behind Rosebud. they figure people who played a big role would know what it ment in his life so thier first choice is his adviser who since he is dead they read his journal wich explains why his mother gave him up how he got rich and when he bought his first paper press, They didn't find anything so they looked for his assistant manager Mr. Bernstien who tells of the troubles, success, and his story and points towards his friend. they find hime he tells his story about his first and second wives, the top of his career and his change of morals and his abuse of his power. Then his wives talk about life with him and problems. In the end they never find out and they figure it was somthing he owned and they burn his stuff and it shows Rosebud was the sled from when he was a kid.
             
              There is not to many quotes used often in this  film but the begining has been parodized the begining the central idea of this film is that when money and power get to your head in the end thats all your have. Some minor ideas is that some things are left better unkown and you never have a election or somthin in the bag.
              Once again gets a 4 outa 5 because a lack of a plot otherwise good. Also on the negative side it had a few not needed scenes in the film. this has been another blog see ya
