Orson Welles is very talented. It can be seen from this film that he wrote, directed and acted. The majestic opening and voiceover can see that his bearing is extraordinary, which was quite avant-garde at the time. The technique of flashbacks and rhythm can be seen from his narrative ability. The panoramic deep shot and the big overhead shot with a huge amount of information can show his palm mirror style, as well as the analysis of the characters and the setting of suspense. The screenwriting talent, and the most touching thing is the unexpected ending. It can be seen that even though Kane (or Wells) is usually arrogant and indomitable, he actually still has infinite nostalgia for the pure beauty of childhood. People can't help but feel awe and disgust, but also have a sense of sympathy and tolerance.

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. At the end of the film, he finally understood what the "rose bud" was. It was something he had gained and lost. Kane is just a lonely big boy, all he needs is love.

Kane does care about the people around him, just. . . Use your own way. And why it is said that this movie is a model worthy of learning by filmmakers. Its narrative structure and shooting methods have long been outdated, just like all AS3.0 are used, but they are still watching AS2.0 tutorials. Spectrum.

Charles Foster Kane: You're right, I did lose a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a million dollars this year. I expect to lose a million dollars *next* year. You know, Mr. Thatcher, at the rate of a million dollars a year, I'll have to close this place in... 60 years.
