Can someone tell me why this movie was a good movie!?Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
It is the #1 movie of all time and that it was done perfectly!. It started with "Rosebud" and went through the story about Kane in an effort to find out the significance of the last utterance!. After taking you through the entire dramatic story, it brings you back to the original premise and lets you know who "Rosebud" was!. It was also shot in a new way through the genius of Orson Welles!. Low camera angles and dark, more like a docudrama than a movie!. If you've ever studied film, you know that Citizen Kane was the perfect movie!. In terms of it's structure, acting and feeling!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

It was a revolutionary film for its time!. The camera angles in Citizen Kane had never been done before, and it is just an extremely brilliant movie!. It has subtle themes that could have been overlooked the first time, but that is why the movie is so good, it gets better and understood more with each viewing!. It is a magnificent and extraordinary film that I personally have never gotten tired of watching after years and years!. It's that good!Www@Enter-QA@Com

Besides what everyone else has said about it, "Citizen Kane" was one of the few movies that really made use of symbolism, subtlety, and timing!. Some of the best examples are as follows:

When Kane's parents agree to turn Kane over to his rich uncle, we see Kane in the background playing in the snow!. At the moment his parents say they can take him, young Kane shouts out "Union Forever!" while playing!. Family is often seen as a union, and that family, like the Union (in this case the Union being the Northern States), should always be together!.

Another scene depicts Kane as the head of a major newspaper!. One night, one of his reporters attended an opera starring Kane's wife!. Unfortunately she was not a good singer or actress!. The reporter wrote a scathing review of it!. Kane, outraged, rewrites the review!. The reporter comes into the office, and while Kane is typing on the typewriter, he informs the reporter he is fired!. The typewriter then dings, indicating the end of a line!. Kane then moves the carriage of the typewriter to start a new line!. This symbolizes the end of the reporter's career!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Welles broke every "rule" about film making,using innovative techniques in photography in particular in composing the scenes!. He also wrote the script and hired some of the very best people(most from his Mercury Theater radio program)!. His style,to say nothing of his refual to cow tow to the studio heads (he would halt filming whenever they came snooping to see what he was up to)and it drove them nutsWww@Enter-QA@Com

Great writing, great direction and acting!. There was a lo of things in that film that we take for granted now like deep focus which if I'm not mistaken is used throughout the film, It's where the foreground and background are in focus!.

there's lots of useful information there which doesn't seem fake!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

because it stands the test of time, as Robert Ebert said, "It is one of the miracles of cinema that in 1941 a first-time director; a cynical, hard-drinking writer; an innovative cinematographer, and a group of New York stage and radio actors were given the keys to a studio and total control, and made a masterpiece"Www@Enter-QA@Com

it's just a great detective story!.
it's well acted, well written, well scored!. It holds your attention for the entire duration of the film without a bus exploding and going over a cliff!.
