Summary: The best film ever?
Comment: It's the best I've ever seen. Why? Because it enters a world of psychology in a unique and powerful way. It exposes the selfish tyrant that lies in all of us. Do we not all do what we do for "I?" What drives us to be what we become? What is our most basic need, our most primal desire?
This film deals with these things in a visceral experience of entertainment. This film had to be quite a risk for 1941 but it's clear that it could not have been any better if made in 2001. I thoroughly enjoyed every last second of it.
If you were expecting an adventure through the mountains and woods there's no doubt that you hated it. But, if you enjoy a trek through the secrets of the human mind, then this film is right up your alley.
And, for Pete's sake, don't desire to see Star Wars in everything.
The work in this film creation is astonishing in 2008. In 1941 it would have been state of the art. In fact, it's hard to believe the film wasn't made in 2008. It's clearly ahead of it's time.

Summary: still number 1
Comment: No matter how many times I have seen Welles's film, I continue to be impressed. Its acting, directing,and writing keep the story moving. Even knowing what "rosebud" is by now makes no difference. It is always worth watching. The second video, the battle Hearst waged against the film, was also fascinating. Quality service. Thanks !

Summary: I really enjoyed this movie...
Comment: I thought "Citizen Kane" was well acted and well written and produced. It is a glimpse into the life of "a big American", as Thompson's boss Rawlston pointed out, but ultimately it is a story of how consumed we can become by our own demons if we allow them to overtake us. Kane could be seen as a hypocrite--championing the workingman and fighting for his interests, while at the same time employing the tactics of those he rails against (the rich, privileged, and powerful). But at heart, he is just a man looking for love and acceptance (from friends, family--particularly his mother, who sent him away at 10 years of age--and the people). And because it never works out for him, he takes his losses in the most personal way, until finally he is consumed by it and it takes its toll on him (symbolized by the Rosebud sled being consumed once and for all by the flames of the furnace). Rosebud was, indeed, something he lost--his link to his childhood and it would forever have an impact on him.
We had to watch this movie for an English class in college, and I've been intrigued by it ever since--perhaps because, deep down, there's a little Charlie Kane in all of us.

Summary: Just okay
Comment: I hardly think this is the best film ever made. It's too gimmicky by half. The script isn't all that wonderful and I feel the Rosebud thing was a disappointment. It looks and feels like a magician show. Money can't buy you love-but if it can get you 9 out of 10 things in life-that ain't bad. Buy a dog. They love unconditionally. If you curious to see what all the hype is about or if you're studying film-then it's worth seeing.

Summary: Pleased
Comment: The quality of the DVD's are really good. I studied this movie as part of a "Film" elective study and it brought back the good memories. We didn't have the benefit of the 2nd disk in those days. Really interesting for those who love the movie making industry.
