kane: the man, the movie, the maker

"Citizen Kane" is a wonderful, terrifice movie. Is it the best movie of all time? That is impossible to say because all movies are so different. Is "Citizen Kane" my favourite movie? No. Maybe that is because it is from a different decade and that is why I do not have the same reaction as some other people. However I admire the film so much mainly because I think that Kane and Welles seemed so similar. they both to seem to have the same arrogant tone, the same impulsiveness and same form of being self-absorbed. You know, when you watch the movie today, you can see small technical errors, but in a way, that's what makes better is pointing certain flaws because I think that makes it part of the mystery of the movie. another thing about it, is that that the movie has a mystery plot and that's what grabs the people's attention. So it becomes more than a fictional bio-pic. the cinematography is excellent, the set designs are wonderful and the supporting performances are terrific in the way the describe and perform with Kane which only makes him that much more interesting.
