Citizen Kane

"I don't think any word can explain a man's life. No, I guess Rosebud is just a... piece in a jigsaw puzzle... a missing piece." Thompson the reporter said this when asked if he could know what rosebud meant. I rate this movie a 2 out of 5, because the ending wasnt very clear and i didnt understand exactly what the movie was about.

I believe what Thompson said was right because Rosebud really didnt explain Charles Kanes life, it was just a artifact in his life. Kanes last word was Rosebud(his sled)and by saying that, i believe he was remembering when he was young and didnt have a care. He could be free from the stress of having money. It brought back memories of his parents and how they gave him up so he could hopefully have a better life.

Orson Welles portrays Charles Foster Kane, He did a pretty great job at playing him, but i dont think he was the right actor maybe to play him, because he was kinda scary. After his second marriage with Susan Alexander played by Dorothy Comingore failed, he did sorta a downward spiral. I believe it was because of the money that was brought into his life. Money only brings trouble is what i believe. So by saying Rosebud on his death bed he was wishing for the times when he didnt have to depend on his money and when he could be free.

So to conclude i only gave Citizen Kane a 2 out of 5 because i didnt like the ending, and how it didnt tell me what happens to Susan. I also didnt like how it didnt explain the significance of Rosebud, and why Charles said it on his deathbed.
