Citizen Kane is widely considered to be the greatest movie of all time, and it's very easy to see why. This film is an incredible story of the costs of wealth and power and how the richest man in the world essentially has nothing. Orson Welles proved his resilience with this film and provided us with a landmark masterpiece that will have a tough time being ousted from the top ten.
While it does drag at times, it provides a highly intriguing narrative that leads to a great conclusion that is still talked about to this day. I doubt there is a movie buff that has not seen this film, but if there is, you might want to get with the program. |
