forth in my imagination about how the life of a citizen Kane was transformed from turbulence into dominion and strength. Sometimes an early sign might give some signals to a change that may occur in the near future and one of the signs that happened when Kane was a child lives with his mother but suddenly for a reason his life starts to change when he left his mother and became one of the political symbols of his state. In addition, the life of Kane has passed into family problems after he became

Citizen Kane represents a long period of time, allowing the characters to age throughout the film. Telling Kane’s life story in flashbacks is a very original approach in captivating the significance of his life.

It is obvious that a recreation is never the same than the original work, but I feel like this movie truly demonstrated some of the aspects and difficulties that Orson Welles experienced for his film, “Citizen Kane.” If I were Orson and had gone through these many hardships for a movie, I probably would have given up. Orson’s determination was greatly shown through this movie. Although it is ranked as one of the worst movies due to its camera work and imaging

How is Citizen Kane innovative and insightful? Remarkably innovative and insightful films remain pertinent throughout time, reflecting timeless human concerns. Orson Welles, in his 1941 landmark film and self-described “social document” Citizen Kane (CK), presents a critique of the American Dream and the shallow stereotypes it conveys in his exploration of the nature of power and the inherent complexity of individuals, through documenting the rise-and-fall of the newspaper mogul Kane.
