In May of 1941, RKO Radio Pictures released a controversial film by a 25-year-old, first-time director. That premier of Orson Welles' Citizen Kane was to have a profound and lasting effect of the art of motion pictures. It has been hailed as the best American film ever made, and it's as powerful a film today as it was fifty years ago. It earned eight Academy Award nominations and won the Oscar for Best Screenplay.
Through its unique jigsaw-puzzle storyline, inventive cinematography, brilliant ensemble acting, and direction by Welles, the story of Charles Foster Kane is a fascinating portrait of America's love of power and materialism, and the corruption it sometimes fosters. Like all great films, Citizen Kane is a memorable fusion of cinematic art and marvellous entertainment.

where to begin???? many people get to caught up with "greatest film made" tag which of course is personal choice but what i would say is that any one who would see this film will not forget it!!!!! the tale of some1 having evrything but realy having nothing is as true today (even more so in todays fame obsessed society) that it was 50 years ago. if only his mum had kept him eh? this film is an education and people should be urged to watch it, im so glad i did!!! im 25 and wonder why this is never on tv but every other film is,strange!!!
p.s one thing i did notice when watching is that the white stripes song "the union forever" all they lyrics are from the film!!! check it out!!!!
