“Rosebud”
The whole movie is about this quote, after a wealthy man dies and pronounces his last word “rosebud” a reporter called Jerry Thompson tries to find out the meaning. The movie is a black and white picture it has a lot of camera angles as well as close ups, has different light settings and lots of music.
The movie starts with Foster Kane a wealthy man owner of a lot of businesses dying and saying his last word rosebud, nobody knows what it means so a reporter Jerry Thompson tries to find out the meaning by interviewing people that were close to him such as his ex wives personal assistants and friends. Foster Kane started building his empire with his printing business and paper publishers; he had trouble because of his money because he did not have time for his beloved ones.
He lived in a huge castle full of statues kind of to try to fill up that huge place; he divorced twice because he was always bussy. As the movies goes on you see multiple flashbacks, story tells and stuff that makes you understand how Kane’s life was. Finally after the reporter interviewed most of his close friends he gives up and concludes that this word will remain unsolved.
When the movie ends you see a bunch of guys burning his stuff and when they threw a sled into the fire you can see the word rosebud printed in a sled he used and loved when he was young.
This gives you an idea that after all the expensive things that money can buy nothing gives you more happiness than simple things such as enjoying time in a small meaningless thing as a sled.
I didn’t really like this movie is kind of slow and old I didn’t like the camera scenes and stuff but I think that’s why it is the critics’ choice for the best movie of all time.
