Citizen Kane

Citizen Kane was released on May 1st of 1941. It was filmed by Orson Wells who played the main role in the movie. The film is a mystery about a detective trying to figure out what or who Rosebud is. That was the last word Charles Foster Kane ever said, "Rosebud."

This movie was not a favorite to me but it was better then some of the other movies we watched. The movie is played from a whole bunch of memories that people had of Kane to try to figure out what Rosebud was. In the end we see people cleaning out his mansion and getting rid of lots of big statues and burning things that were in the house. One of the things that were thrown in the fire was a sled that Kane had from his childhood and when the camera zooms up on the sled, you see the word Rosebud written on it.

No one in the house sees the sled so the mystery goes unsolved. This movie had music that set the mood of the characters and the camera showed the feelings.

One of the greatest quotes about citizen Kane came from family guy "It was a sled there i just saved you two boob less hours."
