Look, I know I'm going to get hate for this, but I'm going to say it anyways.
What am I missing here? How is this in ANY WAY a concept for an interesting movie? It's unquestionably the most boring and anticlimactic plot I've ever heard. The camera work is kind of impressive, but pulling back or panning upwards once in a while can't save you from having the dumbest and most uninteresting story ever written. There was NO indication other than his final word that the sled ever held ANY emotional significance to Kane. A sled isn't really the kind of thing you would be thinking of on your deathbed, anyways. I know it's supposed to be a metaphor for a lost childhood, but you can deliver the same message in the form of a story that's actually COMPELLING.

I'm not an expert of films, and I haven't watch many films, that's why I am here to learn. I have a question, generally speaking, do you think black and white films are better than the films people make now? I suppose many people think so, but many people disagree, kinda subjective. if so, is the 1940s the peak of the film industry? think there are many profession fans here, so, thank you!

agree with half, disagree with half. Movies with or without plots not particularly the issue. Audiences are sucked into the characters and their activities, plots there to end the movie. The type of movie about the nature of the person requires no plot, in fact plot can detract. With Kane we experience the person, that IS the movie, plots is not relevant or important.

I just watched the movie. And I'm not going to agree wholly or am not against calling -citizen Kane- the greatest movie ever. Having watched a lot of movies on mystery and thrillers, it was one of the best mystery movies I've ever seen. Surprised to know this movie was made in the 1940s

Honestly that-s 1 hour and 59 minutes and 24 seconds of my life I-ll never get back. great that they knew amazing and not so obvious techniques but they needed to work on the plot. A film can-t be just running on techniques

Rosebud was the pet name for Randolph Hearst's mistresses p---y. Only three people knew that before the movie and Hearst was appalled when the film came out because it is specifically to expose him as a monster.

This October, David Fincher's -Mank-, which stars Gary Oldman as -Citizen Kane- co-writer Herman J. Mankiewicz, hits Netflix. Poised to win Best Picture and Best Director at the Oscars. Can't wait.

The -greatest- of anything is a subjective label. Citizen Kane was the greatest film as of its release. The next greatest film ever made stood on the shoulders of Citizen Kane.

Before you mentioned about Rosebud you should have given warning like Spoiler Alert and then should've said what it was. It breaks curiosity when you explain like that.
