Film Review- "Citizen Kane"

Director and lead actor Orson Welles' 1941 classic Citizen Kane is considered by many to be the greatest film of all time, and although this may be true, I feel as if I am almost not mature enough to have completely appreciated all of the elements of the film. There were many parts in the movie where I couldn't concentrate and came close to boredom. However, there were still quite a few things in this RKO Pictures release that impressed me. 

The acting by Orson Welles', who played Mr. Kane, and Dorothy Comingmore, who played Mr. Kane's second wife Susan, was superb. The actors did a phenomenal job at portraying their emotions; the camera could remain fixed on Welles' wordless face and the audience would know exactly how he was feeling. In the scene where Kane has a tantrum after Susan leaves him, i was very intrigued and sucked in to the idea that a man had actually just lost his wife.

As I previously stated, I sometimes drifted in and out of the plot or became confused, but I did enjoy the whole mysterious concept of "Rosebud". I thought the ending where the meaning of Rosebud was revealed was both satisfying and thought provoking. I would recommend watching this movie to anyone who appreciates an enticing plot, creative camera angles, and an ending that will stay in their mind for a long time after watching the film.
