Analysis Of The Movie ' Kane Monroe '

For citizen Kane, the most important assets of his life are not the political ambitions, successful newspaper business, nor his relationships with the significant others. Judging by his last word, “Rosebud,” the most important piece of his life is memory from his childhood. Although his life is changed for what appears to be better, from a materialistic viewpoint, it actually leaves him vulnerable and alone. Kane’s life is ultimately destructed by his lust to fulfill the American dream of fame, power and wealth. The inevitable struggle of Kane is reflective of the struggle of many must confront in this materialistic world, as one on his or her quest to find the true meaning of

The structure in the film Citizen Kane is non-linear in that it does not follow any planned order. The story is well formulated and presented using flashbacks that pertain different times in the life of Kane (Welles).

I believe that the author portrays Charles Kane as sort of an evil man through the things he does, but shows that Kane doesn’t realize how he is behaving is wrong. One example of this would be how he ran his newspaper company the New York Inquirer (Citizen Kane). He presented the news in the best way possible to get as many people as he could to read it. Even if he had to lie a little bit in the title or in the actual stories, all he cared about was being everyone’s main source of news. This however was the opposite of what he originally wanted to do which was to present only honest and true news. One time he lied about the news was in relation to his second wife Susan Alexander. She was not a very skilled opera singer as told by the

Orson Welles’ 1941 classic film Citizen Kane tells the story of Charles Forster Kane. The turning point of the film is when Jim Gettys attempts to blackmail Kane. The scene demonstrates Kane’s fall from grace through pride. His reactions to the other characters in this scene (Mrs. Kane, Susan Alexander, and Mr. Gettys), the angles that are shown in his perspective, and the lighting of the scene helps to demonstrate this point. It is after the blackmail scene that, in desperation, Kane tries to regain his credibly with the public and

Charles Arthur Kane, a man who yearned so desperately to fit into society. Once Kane’s corruption leaks into the public, Kane’s name carries a taste of bitterness. Kane is a man who tried to use his own corruption in order to try to rescue the society from its corruption.

From the moment Kane inherited his fortune he wanted to be liked by the people and be a part of society. In this constant quest for societies approval Kane never stops to discover his own individuality. Through power and greed, Kane believes that he can save the public from corruption.

Kane had a promising and bright future ahead of him. He grew up as a child wanting to become a Priest. His parents were avid church goers, and he had never missed a single Sunday since his youth. Through his upbringing in the church, he always had a heart to help the poor and elderly. Nursing this passion, he moved in with the now deceased old man, Albert, as his care taker. As far as anyone knows Kane and Albert were close and very had a very amicable relationship. In fact, Kane on record has said “There was no reason for what I did. I did not hate the old man; I even loved him. He had never hurt me. I did not want his money.” This is why it is bewildering that the authorities would blame my client Kane for the alleged murder of Albert, especially when Kane didn’t even have a clear, logical motivation. So today I would like to take this opportunity to change the horrid and negative narrative that has been blown up by newspapers who print gossip and call it news and instead show you the real, true, raw narrative of my client Kane.

Foreman skillfully highlights the loneliness that Kane feels when facing Miller and his gang. Near the end of the movie, Kane was standing in the street waiting for Miller to arrive. Sweat was pouring down his face, and he was shaking with fear. Then, the camera slowly zooms out and the rest of the street is desolate. There is nothing but silence as the people fearfully wait in hiding for Kane to face Miller. Similarly, other works of literature praise those who fight for what they believe in, even if they

To start off, the setting was very important in these two stories, if the setting was different in any of these two stories none of this would happen.

But now they had arrived in Keep and the academy was only a day away, once they set out for it. Kane would lose his short-lived friendship with the soldiers and be thrust into a world of strangers.

It had been quite surprising to Kane as well, but tragedy had overwhelmed any feeling of elation.
