A sled changes a person

It should represent the level of filmmaking in an era. I didn't see too many characters' souls, just saw a lot of editing traces "with immature but new ideas at the time".
Kane's fate was completely changed on a snowy day, and perhaps his sleigh became his eternal pain ever since. I really don't understand how people with different personalities and identities like his parents can be together. It's probably full of unspeakable secrets.
Later, educated by aristocrats, he has ideas, revenge, justice, and a heroic complex. But it also gave birth to his conceit, and let him go further and further on the road of serving the people.
He claims to love everyone, but in fact he loves himself the most. The reason why he is willing to do so much for everyone is that he just wants others to love him, not really love everyone.
Then I really can't see anything, he misses his sled because he misses the little boy who hasn't been changed?
