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.

    What are we talking about when we talk about "Citizen Kane": rose buds? Deep focus photography? Background painting? White parrot without eyes? 1941 or 26 years old? When a movie is ranked first by too many rankings, analyzed by too many professionals and non-professionals, and when a movie is recognized as a "classic", later generations can no longer feel anything other than the classics. To some extent, it also stifles a sense of ordinary mind.
