    The fragmented time-retrospective structure of unspecified time sequence is indeed a great invention of this film. The interactive scheduling of the depth of field before and after the level is the second great invention. With these two alone, this film has both technically and ideologically entered. Ranks among the greatest masterpieces. It’s also hard to imagine how Orson Wells, who made a feature film for the first time, formed such a complicated and changeable concept of depth-of-field...

    It's better to watch this kind of retrograde old film than to watch the script directly. Every shot is not handled well, there is no aesthetic feeling, and even shakes! At least the form of literature has remained unchanged for hundreds of years. The portrayal of characters in movies is far inferior to novels. The latter can give people more room for...

    It starts with the suspense of "rose buds" and likes the narrative angle in the movie. It is basically Kane who is relayed by a third person, so Kane has different personalities in the eyes of different people. The movie is wonderful, there is no fast forward.

    Private mystery

    This is an out-and-out good movie. From scene selection to shooting techniques, unique narrative methods to avant-garde editing, the depth of the film and the charm of the actors are all convincing. Knowing that this is an old movie 70 years ago, I can't imagine that this is the first work...

Citizen Kane quotes

  • [first lines]

    Charles Foster Kane: Rosebud...

  • Female reporter: If you could've found out what Rosebud meant, I bet that would've explained everything.

    Jerry Thompson: No, I don't think so; no. Mr. Kane was a man who got everything he wanted and then lost it. Maybe Rosebud was something he couldn't get, or something he lost. Anyway, it wouldn't have explained anything... I don't think any word can explain a man's life. No, I guess Rosebud is just a... piece in a jigsaw puzzle... a missing piece.
