Rose bud

"Rosebud" is such a beautiful but plain word, but it is connected with the death of a famous newspaper tycoon. It became the cause of the story in the whole movie, but it seemed like a kite with a broken line. It did not string up any secrets that had been hidden for many years. Instead, it brought the important people who appeared in Kane’s life into the realization of the masses. Newspaper chairman Bernstein, Kane’s former friend Leland, Kane’s first wife Emily, and his second wife Susan. The seemingly plain narratives of these people deduce the brilliant and legendary life of a newspaper tycoon Kane.
I don’t comment on this masterpiece in the way of the movie. I am ashamed that I don’t have such a realm. However, people’s evaluation of Kane in this story is to put aside the so-called flattery, flattery, and anger, and only talk about his surroundings. I remember there was a plot in the movie. When Kane lost his election campaign, his friends came to persuade him and encouraged him to say that he successfully saw the power of the working class, so that even his victory, but Kane did not think so. Feeling that failure means failure, and his supporters will no longer support him. Kane didn't know the power of faith, but he kept trusting himself strongly. "His world is only himself" This is what Kane's former friends and his second wife have commented on him.
When Wu Zetian passed away, he had erected a monument to no children. What he wanted to see was the evaluation of him by later generations. What about Kane, does he know what people think of him? Does he realize that he has always lived in his own world?
Are we always loving the world, or the world is attached to us? Kane loves his world, so he has to spare no effort to grab the nine backbones of the documentary to strengthen his newspaper business; Kane loves his world, so he loves his career more than his newly married two months His wife; Kane loves his world, so he releases her only when Susan wants to take medicine to commit suicide, not to put her on the stage that doesn't need him. As for the world, the world has always been attached to him, giving him the guardian who helped him develop his career, the best friend of his life, and his wife who loved her, but Kane didn't seem to cherish it. It may be that the arrogance of fate burned on this person who spared no luck, lost his family, lost his career, lost almost everything he could lose, and then died lonely in the paradise he built for himself.
Let’s go back to "Rose Bud". Many people commented that it has no special meaning in the film, but I always feel that when the visitor finally saw this sleigh forgotten in the corner of Kane’s garden, it seemed like Implied something about Kane. Perhaps, just when Kane was about to end his life, he remembered the innocent and innocent childhood self who was not afraid of heaven and earth. I think that might be the reflection of my life, and the strongest yearning in my heart.
