"Citizen Kane" is an important experimental film in the history of American film. It is known as "a monument to modern film". The champion and number one classic. This pure "poetry of cinema" lies between the end of the great tradition of prewar cinema and the beginning of cinema in the 1940s and 1950s. A film of rational experience, abandoning the prevailing film aesthetic principles at the time (novelly conceived elevation shots and simple and expressive depth shots, unique and natural and smooth scene scheduling and moving shots, as well as sound, dialogue, lighting The innovative use and original soundtrack) have changed the traditional film shooting mode of Hollywood in the past, and some aspects have been imitated by later generations. The experience was at its peak.
In fact, the way the film tells a story is far more valuable than the story it tells. The film consists of six flashbacks with internal logic. These flashbacks are not part of a puzzle, but an onion peeled from the outside to the inside. The film cuts the lens to the level of human nature for the first time, and conducts an in-depth discussion of human nature. This film can be regarded as an allegory of the American idea of personal struggle.
