Dust to dust to dust, and in the end it's a wisp of black smoke. In fact, the director did not make us identify with the character of Kane. On the contrary, he used Kane to symbolize Adam and Eve, the original sin and depravity of mankind, and Xanadu is the twisted Garden of Eden - or Paradise Lost, "Power and Wealth Order People fall, and the fall engulfs themselves: innocent people can live, but they are always covered in bruises." In my opinion, the greatest thing about this movie is not the technique that is mentioned in the textbooks, but Welles's wonderful storytelling A lot of things, a lot of expressions, and unlike many golden age Hollywood feature films, he does not frame his own ideology, does not force you to accept his "Faust" story, but as Kubrick said , let the audience discover and understand by themselves, who can do this, has already won at the starting point. Always support Wells, the hero of the times, the anti-Hollywood hero.

    (7/10) Although the plot is said to be dull by many people, the filming techniques of the film are advanced. These film expressions are commonplace today, but they were a major breakthrough at the time (if you often watch silent films, you can feel Up to this point), and the director who completed these innovations was Orson Wells, who was only 25 years old at the time. He is a very talented director. Kane's prototype Hirst was dissatisfied with this film, but his grandson liked it very much. In addition, the heroine's prototype is not a crappy singer, on the contrary, she is considered by Wells to have a talent for acting.
