A rich citizen

I think "Citizen Ken" is the most commented movie, there must be a reason. Just like "A Dream of Red Mansions" in China, so many people study where the classics are, the less they understand it. It just feels classic. Everyone's feelings are different. There are one thousand Jia Baoyu for one thousand readers. People who like it naturally like it, and those who don't like it don't like it. And I just watch this movie from my own perspective. From it, I understand what I have experienced in the movie. Before writing this film, I was afraid that I would be troubled by the plot. I found some film reviews from people I had watched, and found that it had nothing to do with my own opinions, so I recorded it. Maybe it is different from the artistic conception that the director and screenwriter want to express. Just like what others said, the central idea expressed in Lu Xun's article was not even discovered by him, but was discovered by later generations. However, whether we read a book or watch a movie, don't we always connect the event frame to sum up our own set of views? Let's get back to the truth. The legend tells me what I have learned about this movie. (Reminder: there will be spoilers next. Those who haven’t watched it are best to watch the movie and watch it again.)
First of all, an important clue that runs through the whole film appeared at the beginning of the movie-"Rose Bud" by this time Ken is dead. .
Then the film is through Thompson (editor reporter) in order to understand why Kane said the word "rosebud" before he died, interviewing people who had worked with Kane before his death. The first is Mr. Walter who changed Kane's life. Of course, Mr. Hua has been dead for a long time. He is the same generation as Kane's mother. So Tang could only get something from Mr. Hua’s diary, but he only found some records of how Kane started his initial stage of his career. Since Kane was only 6 years old at the time, he was playing in the yard with a sled board. consider. Therefore, Kane's mother and Mr. Hua signed a power of attorney to serve as Kane's guardian until Kane was 25 years old until he could manage his own business. After Kane grew up, Mr. Hua has earned a lot of money for Kane. I also bought the "Inquiry". Kane started his newspaper career at this time. I won’t say much about the content of the movie, but I think the rose buds at the end of the movie are very important, so I gave up my tongue. There is another person in the movie and Thompson. Li Lan, who asked for a cigar, was fired after Kane gave him a check for 25,000 yuan because of Susan's affairs. But what Li Lan recalled was basically what Kane did after his failure to be elected governor. everything. I think this is the point. In the beginning, Kane was to satisfy his political desires, but things were not as simple as Kane thought, because Kane criticized the current president in his newspaper. However, the current president is the uncle of his wife (Emily), which strongly aroused Emily’s dissatisfaction. Obviously, Emily did not want Kane to get involved in politics, and Kane and Emily were already at the end of their marriage. , So the collusion with Kane’s competitors made Susan Kane’s mistress, and Kane lost the opportunity to be governor when I saw the newspaper the next day. At this time, Kane was very angry in the movie and started his own plan to declare war. In fact, I think that Susan and Kane were absolutely innocent at the time. When Kane was thrown into the mud by a carriage on the road and met Susan, it was only a mental derailment at that time. However, Kane started his own big plan because he couldn't become governor. Susan became a tool of Kane. In fact, Kane might have hated the muddy encounter at the time.
The newspaper reported about Kane and Susan. Kane knew that he was out of play, and came to the office the next day. There were KAEN of governor everywhere. After everyone said goodbye to Kane, only Li Lan came out. Kane asked: "Where have you been". Li Lan said I was drunk. I think Li Lan may be Kane's best friend, and the two have a common goal in the "Inquirer". Because the truth of the matter was completely distorted, even Li Lan believed that it was true. Li Lan was obviously very disappointed in the matter, but Kane said that if you want to inquire about Susan, then don't ask. Kane actually didn't want to talk about it, because I didn't know what to say, so I could only do a fake show with Susan. In two years, Susan fell in love with Kane, it would be better to say that he fell in love with Kane's money. Because it is mentioned in the film that Susan is actually a microcosm of the public. Emily died in a car accident, while her mother and her son died, but Kane married Susan (it is possible that the car accident was arranged by Susan, so Kane can be obtained). Kane went against the original intention of the newspaper in order to prevent what was published in the newspaper many years ago from becoming a rumor. Completely packaged up Susan to open a concert, and asked a teacher to teach Susan, so that Susan could not sing to be able to sing, singing all over the country. He even built a theater for her. All I did was to make the rumors of that mistress and his inability to sing become a fact in the newspaper, perhaps to maintain the original intention set by his best friend. As for why Kane values ​​this so much, it may be because of the Declaration of Principles. It might be like Kane himself said until later when Susan left. Kane realized that he seemed to be inseparable from Susan. Kane may have maintained his original declaration of principles at this time. Susan's memory said that she was always arranged to do something, only when she left she was not influenced. And in which fictional luxury palace, so many sculptures may just be symbols of wealth.
Until Thompson came to the palace and heard about the "rose bud". I started to feel that things were so absurd, and I told myself why it was important, the rose bud might just be the missing piece in the thousands of puzzles. In fact, I think Thompson may have understood something at this time, the principle that Kane wanted to uphold in his life, almost devoted his whole life. The rosebud is actually just a brand of skis that Kane played when he was a child. When Kane was dying, he only missed those times, but was speculated by the living people. Big fuss. Why is the movie called "Citizen Kane" In fact, the name of the movie only has the word "citizen". Maybe the director thinks that in the era when he self-evaluated his own morals and values, only people like Kane may be worthy of being called a qualified citizen. Even those who worked with Kane in the movie didn't understand what Kane was doing. But just because of a dream of becoming a governor, I was burdened with a whole life of criticism.
