... – Henry Ward Beecher
Citizen Kane is a film that tells the tragic story of a boy who went from rags-to-riches. As a young child, Charles Foster Kane was taken from the familiar surroundings of his home and family, inherited a fortune from his mother, and was unwillingly reared by a rich banker. ... Within moments of the movie opening with an unforgettable image of a distant, fog-shrouded castle on a hill, Charles Foster Kane is dead, uttering the word “Rosebud” as he hunches over. ... The truth, which is not revealed until the closing scene, is that, on some level, Kane regretted not having a simple, quiet life.
Motivation for this film lies with Charles Kane’s last word ‘Rosebud’. ... Each character informs him of their encounters with Charles Kane and allows film’s audience to “trespass” into his personal affairs. ... ”
Citizen Kane has a deep underlying theme. ... Charles Kane purchased many statues and artifacts, built an opera house for his second wife, and created a lavish mansion to live in, yet satisfaction was never reached.
