The main line of the film is an interview conducted by the reporter who shot the documentary film for Kane to find out the exact meaning of Rosebud that Kane said before his death. However, apart from assigning tasks at the beginning and a summary at the end, Rosebud is almost a decoration, not even symbolic. At least I don't think Kane really knows what he really wants. Jed's friendship? Or the love of two wives? He may have resented their departure, but that doesn't mean he feels he lacks those emotions. Just like when he asked his wife, "There was a banquet for 50 people here yesterday, how can you be lonely?", in the same huge and empty palace, he couldn't feel the loneliness of the other party at all, and he felt so good about himself. How can you think you lack a friend or lover? Rosebud isn't so much about what he wants or what he's lost, it's more about questioning "Why are do this to me", he only loves himself, and his friends are only those who obey him, so he doesn't lack There is no shortage of friends for lovers, and the only wish he has not achieved and cannot achieve may be to make almost everyone like him, love him, just like a rosebud...
