Review of Citizen Kane (1941) by Stefan G — 23 Sep 2013
Yes, Citizen Kane is a classic movie. It's a very artistic, symbolic, and metaphorical film that really tells the tale of a tycoon's rise and fall without being overly moralistic. I think that Charles Foster Kane is perhaps the best depiction of a media tycoon in all of popular culture, and I say that because the film paints him as an imperfect, yet three-dimensional character, while simultaneously creating parallels with William Randolph Hearst and his mistress.
The acting is superb, and the film's style is undeniably powerful. Overall, it's a great film that more than definitely made its mark on culture.
