Rosebud

Welles claimed that the Rosebud motif was merely a plot gimmick, intended to hook the audience on a dramatic question that's really a wild goose chase. But the gimmick works. Like the hopeful reporter, we too think that Rosebud will unlock Kane's ambiguous personality. Without this gimmick, the story would have remained rambling and unfocused. The search for the meaning of Rosebud shapes the narrative, providing it with a forward thrust, with a dramatic question we all want answered. This is what foreign critics mean by the American genius for storytelling.

What are we talking about when we talk about "Citizen Kane": rose buds? Deep focus photography? Background painting? White parrot without eyes? 1941 or 26 years old? When a movie is ranked first by too many rankings, analyzed by too many professionals and non-professionals, and when a movie is recognized as a "classic", later generations can no longer feel anything other than the classics. To some extent, it also stifles a sense of ordinary mind.

Mr. Bernstein: There's a lot of statues in Europe you haven't bought yet.
Charles Foster Kane: You can't blame me. They've been making statues for some two thousand years, and I've only been collecting for five.
