Citizen kane

I think the film is an extremely excellent film because of its bold narrative structure and flashbacks, especially deep focus. I surprisingly know it was the first film by a young man, Orson Welles. I admire and respect Welles genius and innovative brave to open up my mind. The first, I still don't understand the reporter’s efforts to search for the answer to the “Rosebud” even though I have watched it twice. It's a depth film. It's a worth film for watching again and again. Whenever I watched it, I emerge different feeling and thinking about the film. I will always remember is Kane indignantly destroys every precious thing in his luxurious main bedroom, until he finds the crystal globe and mumbles, "Rosebud." It seems tell audience what he exactly want. The scene is deeply touch my heart; however, I am not easy to understand his physical manifestation that time. Also, I will understand Charles cannot stand his wife's chatter when they eat dinner every time and Kane quits Susan's vocal music teacher when he teaches her singing severely. After I read the commentary by Roger Ebert, I better understand the representative meaning of “Rosebud.” it is the most meaningful for him, so he spend his life to pursue and to seek his security, hope, and content. After I watched this film, I passionately shared with my son. He said the film is famous with its deep focus. I would like to recommend the film for my son's friends who graduated with a film degree. I hope they will learn more from "Citizen Cane.
