The film has tried many techniques that are still very fresh. The use of the lens with the deep focal length makes the picture have a strong sense of unity. The story is told very cleanly: the marriage change of Kane and Alice only used 4 or 5 shots and a few lines; and the newsreel at the beginning of the movie is even more interesting with its concise and profound language. arouse the curiosity of the audience. But on the whole, the film seems to have lost its stylization. And "Rosebun" is indeed an excellent fan of the show.
