Review of Citizen Kane (1941) by Colby H — 03 May 2017
Citizen Kane stars Orson Wells, and is about people who are investigating the death of a very wealthy man named Charles Foster Kane. The entire movie was a flashback of this mans life. These flashbacks are surprisingly clear for the time. In fact, everything in this movie was far ahead of it's time as far as writing, cinematography, acting, storytelling and so forth.
All of these have led Citizen Kane to be one of the most beloved films ever made, and it it clear to see why.
It helped launch the career of Orson Welles, and left iconic imagery and one-liners. For the time, it also showed filmmakers how good a film can be.
Even though it is considered to be one of the best movies of all time, I still think that isn't as well recognized as it should be. It is the best black and white film, and revolutionized the craft of visuals and storytelling.
Over all, Citizen Kane was a truly remarkable experience. 5/5 stars. And it's an experience worth taking.
