Citizen Kane: A Unique Masterpiece of the Movie Sea
"Citizen Kane" is a masterpiece written, directed, and acted by the American director Orson Welles, who is known as the "movie prodigy". The film was released in the United States on May 1, 1941, and was nominated for seven Academy Awards at the 14th Academy Awards, winning the award for Best Original Screenplay. Andre Bazin, a well-known French film theorist, once commented on the film: "Orson Welles should be immortalized with his "Citizen Kane",...

After watching the full play for 119 minutes, I can only use shock to describe my feelings. It is hard to imagine that a 1941 movie can already have such an amazing performance in camera switching and plot development.
Let's start with the film's title, Citizen Kane, which is an ironic title that perfectly echoes his social status of chasing Politician Kane for most of his life.
Let's talk about the "Rosebud" that runs through the whole play. At the end, when the cleaner was cleaning...

I haven't had the courage to watch this film history classic, because I don't like the title. When I saw the title, I thought it was a movie describing the political situation and the means of popular elections, and I decided that it was boring to me.
After watching it in its entirety, I didn't feel good or bad, I could say I didn't feel anything at all. The 1941 film is no longer new.
In my opinion, "Citizen Kane" is quite ordinary. It is nothing more than a very rich rich man...

It should represent the level of filmmaking in an era. I didn't see too many characters' souls, just saw a lot of editing traces "with immature but new ideas at the time".
Kane's fate was completely changed on a snowy day, and perhaps his sleigh became his eternal pain ever since. I really don't understand how people with different personalities and identities like his parents can be together. It's probably full of unspeakable secrets.
Later, educated by aristocrats, he...

Citizen Kane: Wounds That A Kingdom Can't Heal (Severe Spoilers)
The 1941 movie can still touch the soul 75 years later, without the need for color, the visual effects constructed by black and white light and shadow are full of strong emotions, this is a classic.
When Kane choked and begged Susan not to go, when Kane was playing with the glass ball with snowflakes and muttering "rosebud", I finally understood his pain.
As said in the film, "A rosebud is just a piece of cardboard in a jigsaw puzzle, the missing piece." Yes, he was an...

A self-reflection on American history and politics, Citizen Kane has been trying to fight the so-called "capitalist system" that hurt him since he was deprived of his right to love. Resistance in society becomes the result of the discipline of society itself. Kane actually replicated the violence he suffered, and the palace he built and his control over the showgirls undoubtedly proved that he was just another tyrant who called for freedom and anti-power, and his fatal tragedy was that the...

K. Rosebud: not obtained, lost, sled: a turning point of fate, the counterattack of the intervened. The open multi-view structure and flashback processing, the ingenious combination of long shots and montages, the deep shots, and the spatial deformation of mirror images combine documentary and expressiveness. A monument to modern cinema. Self-directed and self-directed. Snow crystal...

Roger Ebert's commentary tracks include but are not limited to: squatting is controlling, raising is obsession, left is a betrayal, right is a witness; double entry may be a general advance or a relationship comparison, over-the-shoulder close-ups are positive and negative emotional tension The focus is the most intense, followed by non-shoulders, and the few close-ups not only make it shocking and remembered once it appears, but also make the relationship between characters and the development...

It breaks the traditional single-line narrative structure and causal chain, and uses non-linear and flashback narrative methods for "puzzle-style" characterization, which forms a subtle echo with Susan's "puzzle" in the castle in the second half. Furthermore, Eisenstein's "shock" montage is replaced by a large depth-of-field lens (depth lens) to achieve an ideographic effect, and when describing the current situation where Kane and his first wife's emotions are gradually fading away, he uses a...

[A+] The main reason for winning the "Best in Film History" is nothing more than perfecting all the elements in the film. Not to mention the depth-of-field shots that are highly praised by everyone, Ao Pang’s idea is far more than that: look at those amazing superimposed transitions, accompanied by the characters’ narration, the memory gradually wraps up the “reality”, and then in the Certain shadowy corners gradually fade out, and the only thing that can rival this technique is Apocalypse Now....
Boss Jim Gettys: You're the greatest fool I've ever known, Kane. If it was anybody else, I'd say what's going to happen to you would be a lesson to you. Only you're going to need more than one lesson. And you're going to get more than one lesson.
Jedediah Leland: [about Kane's "Declaration of Principles"] I'd like to keep that particular piece of paper myself. I have a hunch it might turn out to be something pretty important. A document...
Mr. Bernstein: Sure!
Jedediah Leland: ...like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and my first report card at school.
Jedediah Leland: You don't care about anything except you. You just want to persuade people that you love 'em so much that they ought to love you back. Only you want love on your own terms. Something to be played your way, according to your rules.
