One of the most famous films from classic hollywood.
Orson welles direction remains tall after all these years.
The film is a tale of a man transported away from his childhood home to live in the rich city.
I think the film handles the titular character really well, his life wasn't amazingly tragic, his personality becomes allot sour over time.
Marriages fall apart.Its not as smart as i expected from a film that is considered one of the greats but the film is still a pretty good character study.
Would we as people end up the same way with buckets of money as we do in our middle class life?Watch my films

Newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane is taken from his mother as a boy and made the ward of a rich industrialist. As a result, every well-meaning, tyrannical or self-destructive move he makes for the rest of his life appears in some way to be a reaction to that deeply wounding event.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A methodical excavation of a powerful man's psychological fracture, told through the fragmented memories of those who knew him. The film watches you as much as you watch it, building an indelible portrait of ambition's emptiness and the impossible weight of childhood wounds.
