Kia B Sep 8 Proof that all good classic films should be seen on the big screen. Seeing the issues of my grandparents time shows the more things change, the more they stay the same. See more R Sep 8 A true classic. It's been so homaged and referenced that it may seem cliche but thats BECAUSE it's a classic. The Mise-en-scne and thoughtfulness of the production is breathtaking on the big screen. If you get the chance to see it in a theater, GO! See more William G @WilliamLaurentGagnon Jan 15 A true masterpiece for his time! This movie is the start of a whole world of wanders. Believe it or not, it is the first movie to actually show the ceiling! And some very ingenious special effects are in this move. As a movie-buff, this picture has a lot of importance for me, as for the entire industry of cinema. I think it issafe to say : It held up through all these decades.

Citizen Kane is the most influential mystery film ever made, a story of a broken man told from many different perspectives. It's the story of a boy who could've had simple happiness, but was torn away from his family for wealth. He spent the rest of his life trying to find love, but with none to give. The ending revelation is just as surprising as that 2001: A Space Odyssey stunt in zero-G (everyone was expecting sound, but, there was none), or Vertigo's plot twist. This is a story of the loss of innocence and the emptiness of wealth, See more Patrick S @PatrickStruik Dec 13 One of the best American movies ever made. See more Hector I Dec 12 Regarder Citizen Kane plus tard dans sa vie rend son génie à la fois évident et étonnamment neuf. Le film suit l'ascension et la chute de Charles Foster Kane, milliardaire brillant mais mélancolique dont l’enfance a été en quelque sorte « vendue » à une banque, conditionnant ses échecs futurs. Son dernier mot, « Rosebud », déclenche l’enquête d’un journaliste et une mosaïque de souvenirs de ceux qui l’ont connu. Le film décrit la fortune héritée comme une malédiction qui détourne un individu de son destin, rappelant les thèmes de La Maison aux sept pignons de Hawthorne. Des scènes comme Bernstein se souvenant d’une femme aperçue des décennies plus tôt montrent combien la mémoire façonne une vie. La grandeur étrange de Xanadu, la scène d’opéra oppressante et la volonté de Kane de façonner sa seconde épouse amplifient sa solitude et son besoin d’amour qu’il est incapable de donner. On pense à Big Fish mêlé au Grand Saut, mais en plus subtil que Aviator. Une œuvre intemporelle et hantée. See more Read all reviews
